They neve never give up

It is hard enough to imagine the suicide of a poor man that gave up hope; the suicide of the rich and famous leave us staggered. Many reasons go through our heads, especially for a close friend or a relative. Despite the flamboyant happy face, many rich folks are not happy.

On their way up, some stepped on those less fortunate and even exploited others’ misery. Including those that are supposed to deliver our souls that preach to exploit us just to get rich. When vengeance comes calling, those contented with their wealth have nothing to fear.

The ability to spend the money you work hard for and the money you get as a freeloader are different. Easy come, easy go. But there are people who build castles from grass to grace. We must not discourage pathway to hard work and make it rich, otherwise most of us would sink into being freeloaders.

Free money kills the abilities to think, discover and more importantly, kill aspirations for success that have no monetary rewards. Some of the richest people in the world today developed passions that later turned out to be game changers generating money.

Yet, if you give everybody a million each to spend the way they want, at the end of a year or two, some will become billionaires while their counterparts will become penniless. The same is true of countries, such as ours. Astute businessman, late Chief Fajemirokun taught us that before you can distribute riches, you have to create wealth. You cannot distribute Poverty.

Narcissistic mentality from the exaggerated ego blind others to the needs and realities in front of their noses. Ostentatious and conspicuous spending are early symptoms of a constant void that feed their ego to make them happy until the sources of money runs dry or a backlash rendering their state repulsive. Spraying of money and "gifted" are prime cases in point.

In the first place, there are those that made the same amount of money or more and spent it like a drunken sailor. Yet they advise those that retained theirs, how to spend it. The more money you give some folks, the more they expect from you without creating value out of what they got. They see the government or you as a money machine showering prayers and praises on the givers instead of working for their own money.

Of course, the moment the money stops coming, the giver becomes their enemy. Many generous givers find these ingrates difficult to handle leading to disappointment, regrets and remorse. It is the beginning of the givers' depression. They empathize with those with a little money without expecting much or handouts in life. Many wondered if they would have been better off if they were poor and had nothing to give. Nigeria could have been a better place without oil.

A homeless man without any responsibility may prefer his independence on the streets where shelter is available. In poor countries without shelters, some of the homeless hang around from one family member to another friend until they exhaust their welcome. A common answer from the homeless is their Independence or even preference to stay away from a crowd of dirty folks like them! Who takes in Nigerian refugees or says misery loves company?

Certainly, homeless folks are not who reasonable folks should envy but they do not commit suicide because they have nothing to live for. It is others that take their own lives for the same reasons. We have to wonder why a group of people that have nothing and those that have too much committed suicide while the same people in their groups stay alive and happy in their situation. Money, some people call spirit, may be too hot to handle if you don’t work for it.

Grown men and women that think money is everything must realize that the suicide of someone they know that had everything and more money than he could spend, also create a fault that is bigger than money. Money does not buy everything and certainly cannot buy common sense, management skills or love. Money only creates enormous responsibilities and demand beyond the capabilities of most individuals.

There are so many sorry stories of the need for money. A man that just got out of jail was allowed a visiting privilege to his son. They decided to stop at a grocery store where he bought most of the reasonable items the son wanted. Getting to the cashier, the son spotted a candy he wanted so much. The father had spent his last penny on the son. So he told the son: you cannot have everything. The son went into a tantrum saying the candy cost little. He was embarrassed as everyone looked at them.

He took his son back home to the mother with all the gifts he bought him. The mother was impressed as he left, telling the son how happy he must have been in the store with all the gifts the father bought him. The little son then answered his mom that he was until the father refused to buy the candy at the checkout.

The news later came that the father committed suicide because he felt disappointed that he could not afford to buy a common candy for his son. This is not about a kid but about the value of money and discipline. A kid is a kid and he had no fault in this. Any kid with money would want to buy everything in a candy store.

Poverty is real, especially in a country that enjoyed a better standard of living as a haven not only for Africans but for the Diaspora. Those old enough knew Nigeria accommodated everyone from all parts of the world. It is sad that out of all the countries that made money from oil since the Arab Oil Embargo in the 70s Nigeria is the only country that sank into the worst form of Poverty on Earth. Leaving the Country worse off than it was before Oil Income ever got

Money & Prayer Blessed A Country Into World’s Capital Of Poverty

If you think money is everything, examine how it turned the most religious Country into the Poverty Capital of the world. When you get to a point when money is no longer your problem but how to spend it, you have a greater problem. Many people prefer the greater problem of how to spend money than not to have it. An older guy once advised a young man then; that the most embarrassing situation in life is not to have money when you need it.

Some Africans ran a country flowing with honey and wara into the ground because they had the greater problem of how to spend money they never created. They think their way to happiness is to live mightily at the expense of those that have a little or without basic needs. They became the only shining stars on the hill being bowed to and worshipped like gods. Ignoramus willing to deprive others of basic means of sustainability as long as they accumulate loot to the point of impoverishing their own countries.

This nut head named greyhead is back looking for attention.

You are welcomed.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Ok

Chei, see slave mentality at work.

Mention one incident of Blacks hate against whites that have made a difference to them.

It is whites that enslave you for free labor, low wages and maximum profit at home and abroad while slaves like you will continue to justify their status quo.

Ass licker.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
And? Don't they have a choice?


How did Obama end up becoming president? Was it just the black community that votes for him?


This unnecessary and unjustified hate for white people is also racism.

It's quite rich, that tribalistic Africans, complain the most about racism.

Some Nigerians are fancinated with America and Britain out of love relationship between master and servant. Some of you may not like it, disagree or even condemn it but facts are facts.

Whites make up the majority in Europe and America. Majority of these Whites vote in larger number for parties that want to keep their countries white and keep power in their own hands instead of putting power and influence in the hands of Blacks and other minorities.

After all they stole America from the Indians and will not stand by and hand it back to the minorities.

Why blame South Africa for South Africans, Ghana for Ghanaians or blame Ahmadu Bello putting everyone on contract until Fulani or Hausa can take over?

Wake up and develop your land, everyone is. Where is your First in Africa today after foolishly opening up to everyone?

It has always been a racist country. Trump just exposed them. Our parents came back home and lied to us about America and Britain to capture more slaves for them.

How do you think they continue to treat American Indians not to mention blacks?

Shows we have a growing number of racists in America

More White People Vote Trump In 2020 Than 2016

https://www-vox-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/11/7/21551364/white-trump-voters-2020?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16048537027459&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vox.com%2F2020%2F11%2F7%2F21551364%2Fwhite-trump-voters-2020


A big part of progressives’ mission this year was getting more white people to vote against Trump. But the reality is grim: The presidential race was much closer than predicted, and that’s after Trump’s zero-tolerance family separation policy, after the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor that Trump did not denounce, after Covid-19 ravaged the country, and after Trump’s impeachment. There has been no widespread rejection of Trump or white supremacy among white Trump supporters or even former supporters.

Then there’s another group of white voters who aren’t completely aligned with Trump but look past what they dislike about him in favor of his stance on the issues that concern them the most. For example, there may be Trump voters who disagree with Trump’s racist rhetoric but don’t care enough to be dissuaded from backing him because they are pro-life or in favor of gun rights or oppose tax increases on the wealthy. They may be able to conveniently look away from his child separation policies because they like his promise to put America first. Instead of grappling with why anti-racism protests broke in small towns and cities across the nation, they just want things to go back to normal; “law and order” seems like a good solution

Similarly, white youth were the likeliest to support Trump, with 43 percent of white voters between ages 18 and 29 voting for Trump, according to exit poll data analyzed by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. By comparison, just 9 percent of young Black voters, 13 percent of young Asian voters, and 21 percent of young Latino voters backed Trump.

White people have been privileged to evade being at the center of the identity politics debate because America normalizes whiteness. While other voters are solely discussed according to their broad-strokes racial groups, white people are free to deflect and scapegoat these other groups, especially in times of fear and uncertainty. Blatantly ignoring how white people vote proves the power structure is not willing to hold a mirror up to itself.

Biden has defeated Trump, and while there are many factors that have contributed to that victory, one of them is the high voter turnout among Black and Latinx voters. Equally important, though, is underscoring the fact that the majority of white American voters had little to do with it

So all the mass shootings upandan were birthday parties abi?

Pity them. No matter how you try, desperados will ride on the back of tigers.

There was a time people will do anything to get into Nigeria.

When we see Africans and Nigerians in particular that assume the label of world Moderates being normalized as the most obnoxious characters that we have never seen in the open being celebrated, we have bought into their narratives.

Police and some of their courts of law are used to enforce voters' suppression. Police could kill and go simply by claiming some subjective threats to their lives in court of laws. This is why it is still difficult for minorities to get hired into the Police Force abroad. Once hired, they get punished and discriminated against more than their white colleagues; despite more Black Police Chiefs today. African Police are all Black making it difficult to shoot maliciously based on color of the skin. Mourning over and over again. Police Reform and Promises without actions and results are empty.

When we send our Police abroad for training, it is enacting Foreign Police movies: "COPS" where minorities are abused in real life. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/10/cops-tv-reality-cancel/

The British Government has said it trained and equipped operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force between 2016 and March 2020.

UK Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, made this known in a letter to a member of the British Parliament, Kate Osamor.

We do not have enough space for all the names but their children know them.

They take pictures and selfies to spite the poor on social medias and those that are too much of a coward to loot or steal food in the market for fear of jungle justice.

Moferere:
Add Orji Uzor Kalu, Okorocha and Co to the list

Militricians, Politicians and Police, did your children turn you back when you raided Foreign Reserve to launder money overseas?

Did your children tell anyone when you hid money in the graveyards, sockaway and coffins until local and foreign cash rot away?

Buhari, Tinubu, Jonathan, Ibori, Dansuki na kwesion a dey ask o.

See ignorance.

Like that guy said, to slap you dey hungry me.

GallantDuke:
Protesting abroad is sweet because you won't be afraid of any trigger happy police officer and you will protest peacefully in a serene environment.

Youths Representatives must tell their protesters to spare public facilities like Rapid Bus Station in Lagos.

Spend your time against income generating
Places for the Canals that do not benefit your states.

Once their source of incomes are destroyed, they will feel it in their guts.

This explains why most of the Revolutionary Radicals too many to mention from Herbert Macauley to Gani Fawehinmi, Fela to #ENDSARS start from this same Region in Nigeria.

Watch out guys!

There used to be a time when we chased rogues and beat the heck out of them. No tires around their neck or lynching.

A few got cunning. They would disappear into the crowd chasing them and push an innocent guy forward shouting Ole Ole!

Governors, former Presidents, politicians and now Buhari wants to join the crowd shouting Ole Ole Ole!

Who are we protesting against?

Who is this guy Ikengawo?

Wonder who he is working for. Judas!

Ikengawo:
stop saying nonsense. You're not in the US

Nigeria Police Shoot You Dead For Money As Foreign Police Shoot You while Black Abroad

Greyboy,

So there are people here still taking you seriously after you've lost all credibility and common sense as a Fake.

Personal wealth in the rich Western countries dwarf government wealth. Indeed they say Starve The Beast or the Government. They run government into deficits while individuals are loaded.

In Africa we sell finite natural resources for income that are stolen by leaders. These leaders use individuals to create personal weatlh for themselves through unequal playing field and looting foreign reserve.

Japan, China, Korea use plastics to make themselves rich while Britain and USA use currency manipulation and Devaluations to extort money from developing countries.

They have loyal slaves educated at Oxford and Harvard, used as bull dogs to enforce their economic hypothesis in developing countries that has never worked to their favor.

Anonimi,

I know you mean well but it is not about complying with standard or Innoson.

No matter how Africa goods are refined to their standard, they block us to gain unfair trade balance in their favor.

Obama tried AGOA. Banana from the Caribbean countries was used to play them against one another. What standard does banana have to meet?

African food (which I oppose) were left rotten at ports in Europe and America. They do not want us out of their economic domination.

anonimi:
Does Innoson comply with the auto standards for rich countries?

All government can do is create equal playing field, tax progressively and regulate commerce.

No government has created wealth anywhere, not even in China. But government can enhance people's initiatives.

So Nigerian mentality, eh? Na which mentality be your own.

Look, there is an Igbo saying that even when age is respected, achievement is revered. There should be no conflict between the two.

KingAzubuike:
It's a Nigerian mentality anyways. Most especially when you make the statement in a low commanding tone. Nigerians believe it's a demeaning question. They believe it's a question that shows seniority in age , status and class. They believe it's a question that only an older person should ask a younger one.
Very awkward mentality.

Oh my Home Oh My Home
When when shall I see my Native land I will never forget my Home.

Once upon a time before the vultures got into Power. We used to have community action where common people in the villages and towns used to do self-help, help build houses for one another over a feast, build roads, clinics and townhalls.

There were Esusu from which individuals started businesses. Teacher was the most noble profession.

Was really surprised to see these overseas. If you want to see old Nigeria, go to small countries in Europe, rural America and the West Indies.

Ahh, Nigeria got rich and became the poverty ridicule of the world.

Jump, jump, jump into any country from your shithole and watch them rub their asses with your faces.

Love it or leave it.

There is no doubt that since Military took over, Nigeria has been going down. But we must face reality, some of us are worse than our leaders.

Wealth is not created in a country. Individuals create wealth and make the country rich. Every Nigerian holds a bowl begging the Government and the leaders for manna.

Indeed, the Government tax individuals to make money.

Americans are wealthy but the Government is run on borrowed money.

Stop looking up to the leaders you created, get sense and start patronizing yourselves at home.

So for 13.40 an hour in US, you will Japa?

This points to the misconception about USA. My Bro, nobody survivea on that type of wage in America.

You cannot even pay for one bedroom apartment in a good nonviolent neighborhood, not to mention paying for gas and electricity. Unless you go begging for food, you will starve and be homeless!

Do not let gullible people lure you into emotional and physical misery.

movingclouds:
Easier to make #460 in Nigeria than to make in the USA? I don't know of other jobs, but trust me, if we're being paid well, I would do any kind of jib I would have done in the USA... I'm a baggage handler in Nigeria and I earn less than 100usd monthly.. A friend that got to US met a baggage handler friend over there and was told he earns 13.40usd per hour.. It's easy to earn a dollar in the US than it is to earn 460naira here.. In my job, I don't even earn up to 460# in an hour
