yet many lagosians arent using face masks .....and huge percentage of those using face masks are either hanging it beneath their jaws, placing it overhead or using it to cover their mouths, leaving their noses exposed....some even remove the face masks when they want to talk p

Character they say is the beauty of a woman and money is the beauty of a man that's why every man desires success and a luxurious lifestyle.

Moreover, few are willing to go through the right part of success in order to achieve it. There are certain things men do in their daily life activities that hinders their opportunity to success. They may see it as a way out of poverty, but woefully, it's the gateway to the throne of poverty.

There are many habits that can keep a man in the circle of poverty. Check them out below.

1. Gambling.

There is no such thing as getting rich quick. Financial success takes time, takes initiative, and requires relentless effort to achieve.

People who engage in gambling are deluded into thinking there is a shortcut to success. A lot of self-made millionaires today didn’t pursue any get-rich quick schemes. Instead, they make a habit of pursuing their dreams and their goals one after the other.

A lot of Nigerian youths believe so much in gambling that they made it a job. They have the believe that a single one hundred naira note can fetch them fifteen million naira. How long do intend on spending before you achieve that goal. Every known successful man today never earned their wealth from gambling.

2. Drinking Too Much Alcohol.

While the occasional glass of wine or beer is fine, drinking too much could reduce your chances to financial success. Do you know drinking too much could affect your memory and ability to think clearly ?. If you can't think and remember things clearly, how do you intend to make a plan for your financial freedom ?.

I'm not saying alcohol is evil but there is a limit to everything in life including the same alcohol. Some men believe it's never okay till they feel drunk. Only a poor man with a poor mentality thinks like that. 1-2 bottles of beer or even 2 glasses of wine is very much okay for a man with a goal in life. It doesn't mean you have to start drinking two glasses everyday. There are times when things are required in life. Say no to excessive intake of alcohol for your financial freedom.

3. Your Type Of Friends.

A wise man once said, Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Those words are absolutely true. Who you hang out with matters more than you may think.

Many rich people today changed their friends the day they decided to make wealth. Make a habit of associating with other success-minded individuals like you.

If you sorround yourself with drunkards and smokers, even if you don't drink or smoke, definitely one day you will see yourself doing it.

You are only going to succeed in life if you surround yourself with the right type of people.

4. Spending Too Much Time Infront Of The TV.

In a success study, it is revealed that 80% of poor people today spend more than five hours Infront of their television screen daily. Complete precious five hours.

Have you ever wondered why the most expensive cars and properties are not putting their advertisements on TV ?. The answer is simple, the people who buy and patronise it doesn't spend time on television so probably they can't see it.

The rich or success-minded people would rather be educated than entertained. They replace TV time with reading, thinking, exercising, or any other form of self education.

I'm not saying watching TV is something not important, but spending too much time on it. Spend more time in planning your map to success instead of watching people who followed their path to success.

5. Thinking Negatively.

Long-term success is only possible when you have a positive mental outlook to it. You can never be successful if you always imagine yourself poor. If you don't believe in yourself, why trying ?. You always have the thoughts of I cannot make it, that's one of the reasons you have not made it to success.

The problem for most people is that they’re completely unaware of their thoughts, positive or negative. If you stop to listen to your thoughts, to be aware of them, you would find most of them are negative. But you only realize you are having these negative thoughts when you force yourself to be aware of them. Awareness is the key.

Take your mind of negative thoughts. Replace them with positiveness. They say a believer is an achiever. Believe in yourself.

6. Doing A Job You Don't Love.

Toiling away at a job you hate will not only leave you stressed out and dissatisfied with life, it could affect your chances at getting rich because you don't appreciate the outcome.

The wealthiest, most successful people pursue their passions, you should consider doing the same thing in your working days in life. Do what you have passion for, work is fun. Passion defeats education, intelligence, skills, and any other advantage those who lack passion might have in life.

Passion makes work fun. Passion gives you the energy, persistence, and focus needed to overcome failures, mistakes, and rejection. It infuses you with a fanatical tenacity that makes it possible to overcome obstacles and pitfalls that block your path.

7. Spending too much.

Spending more than you make is the fastest and surest road to financial breakdown.

You can't be earning a salary of 50 thousand naira and be driving a car that requires maintenance of 15 thousand naira monthly, it leaves you with 35 thousand naira salary. You have groceries and rent to pay the same month with other little things to do with money. What happened to saving ?, What you save and plan for is very important even before the salary comes.

People who spend too much faces a lot of challenges, they have no money for retirement, for their kids’ college, or for pursuing opportunities that present themselves. Spending more than you earn and putting saving on your back creates long-term poverty, with no hope of escape.

8. Ignoring customers feedback.

At the end of the day, you might already have a business established, ignoring customers feedback on your products and services pulls your business down faster than the change in currency.

Fear of criticism is the reason we do not seek feedback from others. You have more chances of improvement if you listen to your customers feedback.

Feedback is essential to learning what is working and what isn’t working. Feedback helps you understand if you are on the right track. Seeking criticism, good or bad, is a crucial element for learning and growth.

Feedback provides you with the information you will need in order to succeed in future and make improvements.

That will be all for now. I hope this helped and educated you on some of the things you need to stop doing in life if you want to achieve success.

See you at the top !

7 billion naira for a shack? Nigerians deserve the NON-LEADERS they vote in. I know for a fact that if there is an election tomorrow Yaya Below will win.

Not everyone is like you OK. Read my post before you quote me please. If America wants to let the money out they've over 100 ways to do it. Let them tell us they need the money simple.

Until we start seeing Nigeria's business as our personal matter the country will remain like this. Eg if Abacha is our dad and he did this, then us the siblings requested for the money and America is giving us excuses that our uncles will bully us and take the money and we're in dire need, won't you suggest America give us the money in another from other than cash? Or you'll prefer America keep the money while we die of our needs? I need your reply.

Covid 19 is giving our dear Brother Gandollar the required sense.

Birniwa:
One of the saddest things is that Access Bank was among the banks that recently donated 1B Naira each to the government to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Now let's do a simple Maths that can show you banks are the worst places to work.

Average bank staff receives N80,000 per month salary. The same N1,000,000,000 can pay 1,046 staff for one year straight. If the bank had considered this, would they bother donating up to 1B Naira to the government while its staff are shockingly receiving sack letters amidst this pandemic?

PS.
Even if you find yourself still working with a bank, please get a side hustle that you can always turn to. Banks will send you to recession in the blink of an eye.

funmike83:
Oh no, this is wicked and unfortunately we dont have government not even when they have collected 1b from access. Wait o, banks don't sack, you will be advise to resign ni o. Where is this coming from

slodot2000:
Very intelligent comment. This is exactly the kind of reasoning people should have in this country. keep it up.

For me every recovered loot should go to the masses directly to eliminate hunger, encourage SMEs, farmers, and entrepreneurs.

anonymous1759:
Pure bullying from America I don't blame them though, the vision less Abacha caused this. but the united states Is exhibiting stealing nature some useless youths are in support. I know the country is messed up but with this mentality we've especially in Nigeria we'll remain slaves because we lack loyalty. you don't need to have the best treatment to be loyal sometimes.

America citizens can never support another country over thiers we should Learn that. America can use the $320m to exchange the weapon to Nigeria if they really want the money out of their country. Making excuses until sanity is restored in Nigeria is a bluff they just want to keep the money in their economy. A new born baby knows Nigeria can't be fixed in the next 10 yrs, the west are very smart playing on our intelligence funny enough our youths are caught in that Web. Nigeria is my country no matter what. America should return the money it's a family matter. There's no where I can be a first class citizen other than Nigeria before you quote me I know there's no water, light, security, electricity etc but it's still my country. Some of our parents didn't give us the best but it doesn't mean we stop being loyal to them.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
USA should return the loot in form of palliatives that will be given to citizens in dire need directly by hand or through bank account.

TruthSpeaker:
Quite unfortunate, but Sadly many more will still die. It has only just begun and it will definitely get worse. RIP to the dead and to the future that will die of COVID-19. USA has been recording an average of over 2400 daily deaths in the last 10 days. Nigerians are not more righteous.
We have to take this COVID-19 really serious, it has come to kill and to destroy.

LandMann:
Years ago, most dangerous threat to human lives were big visible creature. Today, it's a microscopic virus that we can't see with our naked eyes that is the most dangerous threat to human existence.

Unfortunately, the whole debacle has once again exposed how failed we are as a country; both the leaders and the followers are part and parcel of the cause of the problems.

Unfortunately, I just hope we retrace our steps quickly before we, like the dinosaur, get buried and forgotten in the sands of time.

To A Better Nigeria

Atiku is still beta than buhari, ibb nd co, d guy provided jobs for poor Nigerians

Ebonyeyes:
1. Why don't these demonic political elites donate their mansions, hotels and buildings as isolation centers?
2. Why did they call for a lockdown so that they could go on a loan shopping spree and share the monies?
3. Why did they underfund and under-develop the health care system of Nigeria?
4. Why didn't they build emergency hospitals like the West, they only copied the lock down part but failed to build hospitals or equip the existing dying hospitals.
5. Why did they blindly copy the WEST's lock down but refused to provide for the citizens of Nigeria?
6. What happened to the monies donated by the EU/WHO/UN/IMF? Whose bank accounts did the loot end up in?

TommyAnthem:
What about the old federal secretariat in Lagos, why can't it be converted to isolation centre, can you imagine someone feeding like elephant begging someone feeding like ant for food.

Openbusiness:
They have not even reached 1000 cases yet, and they already struggling with bed space, in a state that has over 30 million people inside. What will now happen when cases (God forbid, God forbid) reach 50,000? In a few weeks we will know whether the decision to ease lockdown in Lagos on May 4th is the biggest mistake ever made in Nigeria. Now it's bed space, later it will be equipment, later it will be shortage of medical personnel. But let it not come out from my mouth. When the time comes, they will speak for themselves. Let me shut up.

Jamesbiodun:
UBA 1000 bed isolation center, YABa and many more, they should convert all general hospital and private to isolation center for now

Misscongenialit:
This lockdown is giving me cold feet. It reminds me of the Marseille plague of 1720, where more people died after quarantine was lifted to help the economy, more than half of the population died and noone cared about the economy with bodies lying everywhere.

Please we have a responsibility to ourselves and our families, if we observe the rules at every individual level, we can at least save our loved ones from sickness that we will import from outside.

Pls stay safe ,use face masks ,practice social distancing.

If the fund is up to N5 million, buy FG bond in the secondary market through Stanbic IBTC. You should be able to get 10%

Susu888:
Wailers and blowing of matters out of proportions.
Whts the big deal?? Apparently the minister is sure that nafdac certified but somehow it turns out expired when it reaches its destination.
Either the people to transport it replaced good ones with a few expired ones or that nafdac didn't do a thorough job either way i don't see how wailers link this to buhari or the minister as they obviously have nothing to gain giving you a few bags of expired rice plus lets add the people claiming north recieved good rice while south received expired..... anyone who knows how poor northerners are knows that they really wouldn't bother with the expiration date on the sack as long as the rice is edible nd in good shape. So pls all the propagandist should give it a rest!

The swap will most likely have come from the customs warehouses guards , operators or the truck drivers/ points of distribution e.t.c ..... there are just so many suspects because nigerians are so corrupt especially on the moral aspects. It could be anyone from the warehouse guards down to the distribution operatives.

No matter what is done Nigerians will always complain
