The reason why we are so poor in this part of the world is due to our African culture of poverty..

I have come to realize that Naturally, African cultures promotes poverty, fanatical beliefs, and others.

For instance, in African movies, you will realize that it doesn't promote Innovations,science or other reasonable beliefs about getting rich. The only thing it promotes is Superstitious beliefs and wishful thinkings. For example, a mother whoose child is sick would not personally think of what could be the cause, what could be wrong, how can this be solved(which is where science and innovation start, from questions), but her first thought would be to attributes such cause to someone she fought the previous day.

Many atimes, you will see people getting rich either out of Money rituals or LUCK. Have you ever watched an African movie where an individual actually became rich out of thinking of his way out of poverty? No, you will never see such.
What you will see include people that has a STAR right from Birth, or people that got LUCKY maybe met someone that connected him when he was walking in one road
Or people that the pastors/Alfas/Imams ask to do some certain things etcetera

AFRICAN WAYS OF BECOMING RICH
1. LUCK
2. Mercy
3.Divine interventions
4. Money Rituals
5. Corruption
6. Favour
7. Grace
8. Fraud
Aside these methods, i dont think Africans actually think there are higher chances of some other methods getting them rich.
All these beliefs will not make any Nation to grow because LUCK for instance is uncommon, and would only happen to very few percentage of people naturally, so why wasting time praying for it? Or why wasting time wishing for it? Why don't you just make it happen? Work towards being the becoming great without LUCK.
When you are the lucky one, it means the other people are unfortunate, so LUCK/GRACE/ itself is not a healthy way of a Nation growing, because it would always make a higher percentage of the population to become poor, and thats exactly why high number of Africans are Poor. Let's say 1000 people all work towards luck, and a person is lucky amidst 1000 people and got the offer, it means the rest 999 people would be unfortunate, so which means a high number of people in the society would always be unfortunate (opposite of luck)
Let me site another example for you, I'm in my twenties now, so let's just say that for the past 15years, I have met up to 2000 people, out of these people, I'm not sure I know 10people who became rich through LUCK, or meeting a good hearted man (known as Oloore in Yoruba),that helped them out of no where to succeed, and from they become very rich. This percentage is not even upto 3% of the people I have met, which means it is a wasted wishes that would leave many disappointed. So why not just focus on realistic, practicable ways of becoming successful! This is still the prayer point of so many, meeting helper (''Alaanu'' ) that would make them blow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's totally bad, but don't put your mind there, focus your thoughts on something you can make happen by yourself that would make you be that person you want

I do not think African culture actually think it's possible to become rich through smart thinking.
Did Mark Zukerberge got rich through Grace, Luck, Mercy?

I don't blame all these movie directors, because they prefer to produce things that people would love to buy. I realize that many homes watch these type of movies and have these beliefs, and it is most common with our poor people and I believe this is a contributing factor to poor people becoming poorer.


Our politicians will always be corrupt because Nigerian culture promotes corruption. For instance, all these politicians house are usually crowded when they visit their home towns with people looking for favours, and money to collect. Now, tell me how these people will not loot and steal?
You won't understand this until you get into any position of power in Nigeria, and you dare not put some of your family members in some positions they are not even fit for, they will frustrate your life.
Our society promotes corruption, only the family of those who are not presently in power will go against a leader who is not looting for them.
If you are in power and you are not looting for your people, African would belief you are a bastard even your children would curse you when they grow old and you didn't leave loot for their unborn generation to inherit
....
Seriously, I think we need to reach out to those movie makers, because I believe they have the power of changing so many false beliefs inherent in our traditions that are limiting our people in one way or the other
Do we even have past heroes that got rich out of smart thinking?

..........
If you are an ambitionary leader, visionary, or aspirer and you had like to contribute your own quota to humanity, African development through psychological reformations, mindset shifting, general reformation, kindly chat me directly through the link on my signature, I have a great offer for you

Our social media generation, who only shout and complain behind keyboards and can't face this less than 1k ruling 200m, for looting and disorganizing this country.. it's only to twerk and pose beside big cars they know, like it's an achievement

Who trained them?

Generation that are religion fanatics

I want to know the generation that wrecked Nigeria.
1. The generation that failed in creativity
2. The generation that failed in innovation
3. The generation that turned our people to Religious and Ethnic bigots
4. This generation are the wicked lecturers, they started and still continuing ill treatment of students.
I think to solve Nigerians problem, we need to know the root of our problems, see what this generation have done wrong, learn from it, and do things on the opposite way and see if we would grow from there

Good

Hmm

I receive lots of messages from scammers, and within yesterday and today, I have blocked more than 10people from Nairaland who claimed they want physical Training for my Social Media and Graphics services, some would even offer to pay double the amount if I can meet with them physically.
Girls who are entrepreneurs, please you need to be careful and wise. Don't be greedy as well, as some would even pay half the service fee, just to convince you. Please, kindly return their half payments if they change the agreement of the services you want to render. This means,don't spend the money until you have finished the job, this is what I do and it has really helped me to treat the fuckups of some funny clients.

So yesterday this guy chatted me up for graphics designing, and I asked what is his Nairaland monicker, he claimed he is , I said ok and asked him to quote me on Nairaland, and to my surprise, he said he made a mistake, that he is kenyking1234, I still requested he quoted me, but since then, I'm yet to hear anything from him

I'm wondering how one would forget their monickers and mistakenly mention that of someone else
Or is he your brother @?

Please if you need my digital services, i mean Social Media and Graphics designing, kindly note that I would ask you to quote me on Nairaland or tell me your monicker here, so please try to remember your monicker before chatting me up.

Thanks, I'm glad it does

There are tons of studies that established that the whites have a superior IQ on average. At least a standard deviation above us.

Please tell me where it is published, or send the link to them. That can never be TRUE or be in any publication, if it is, let me see

I hope this help someone

How you become a SUCCESSFUL SERIAL KILLER is the same why you become a SUCCESSFUL SERIAL BUILDER

Whether you choose to be a killer or a builder, they both require hardwork and smart work.
They both require consistency and not giving up.
They both require your time and energy. So why opting to becoming a destroyer?

If you choose to be a hacker, a yahoo boy, a scammer, a seller of fake/bad products et cetera, they all require some kind of efforts before you can blow, for example, I know some people that are Yahoo Boys that are broke as HELL, they talk to clients and they have been reported to go spiritual in their pursuit of money, but yet, they haven't blown which means that to actually make it big as a Yahoo boy(serial killer), it still requires some level of efforts and consistency.

So why not channel that Energy, that Zeal, that effort, that consistency to something POSITIVE, something you would be proud of.
Haven't you seen some entrepreneurs that got awards from what they offer? They used 1 stone to kill TWO birds, by not only doing a business that would profit them but as well something that would contribute to humanity.

So, next time you think of what to do, always think of something that would make you a huge profit and as well something you can be proud of

For instance, venturing in distribution of bleaching creams and Sanitary pads, they are both for females and are highly needed items.

So you should CHOOSE YOUR SUCCESS
, successful serial killer or a successful serial builder

Squillaci:
Lol why?
The whites on average are smarter than us blacks.
It would be best to use them as a reference.
Imagine measuring your IQ with respect to toddlers; you would be seen as a super genius.
And besides, they developed the concept of IQ over a century before we began researching intelligence.

With what statistics did you arrive at that?

eagleeye259:
Ekiti? I know it is impossible to find a 2 year old kid in primary 1 in some states. I started school at 3 but I didn't get to primary school until I was 5.

Yes, because you went to a private school. Children in private schools have a slower education

Tolani0167:
You are truly a rare gem but one advice I will give you is that try to focus on just few things to make u a star. When you jump from trade to trade the star in U will not be too bright. The key word here is Focus focus focus

Thanks, which one do you want me to focus in

Chifrando:
Yes it's possible all you need is just one good idea,anything is possible with the right mindset.am on the path to greatness searching for the one idea that will make life easy. billionaire all the way

KenBen217:
where is the genius in all these things you're saying...do you even know the meaning of genius??

Since I don't, you can explain it

Ingriid:
Girlie, I like u cos u are not an hypocrite, I see u as a very straightforward person, u actually spoke d mind of many women if not many will not like ur post. Funny enough most of d guys shading u, their wives/ girlfriends will be among d people that liked/ shared ur post.

You are also a strong willed person cos from page 1-10, many have abused u, ur family and some even wished u death already cos of ur opinion but u never paid them back. That’s a great evidence of strength. You are not shaken!

Now to ur post, I never liked it and I won’t cos love is not a scam , it’s a beautiful thing actually , pls let’s be cautious of what we put out in public. Ur wish is never to marry a poor boy and I respect ur opinion but my dear, we can all work hard to become rich , look at Naomi Osaka, Kylie etc, I’m sure u ladies will be about d same age. I’m sure u will be happy if ur name appears on Forbes as a self made billionaire .right?

Enough said, u can be rich too cos wealth is not meant for men alone and marry a rich man. God bless ur good hustle.

Let's do some business bruv, you are a potential billionaire

eagleeye259:
2 years old in primary 1. Just curious, what state is your primary school?

The most educated state in Nigeria

pcguru1:
Does it matter, it means you are a resourceful person so keeping learning more skills and making money, and God will see you through, it's good to see people passionate about success. You are a genius in your own way. Also look up on 50cent book, you will see genius doesn't come from education, but sometimes observing things around you, and acting on them. All the best

I absolutely agree with you. Thanks man

jimmyolasun:

Come, let's do business

You want to hear mine?

Princess. Please come and pay my bride price. You are sounding like my dream woman.

Only that you are way young. (And one other barrier)

Ehn ehn, chat me through my signature if you need tips and strategies on ways you can impress me, it comes with a price. Not free

Firstnebo:
You're just being modest now. Where do you stay

Lol, truth is that naturally, when people come out to say;
I'm beautiful
I'm powerful
I'm brilliant
Its natural for people to think the opposite for the individual, that is, a negative energy. Though, someone like me read deeply and I won't assume in an opposite direction and likewise would deep thinking people
The reason you didn't read so much hate on this thread is because I have written this post in such a way that such people would become speechless. I'm also a good psychologist, and I write/talk to bring out a certain behaviour from people. Even though everything written here is true, it is planned to bring forth certain responses and feelings

Nigg3369:
Also I failed a lot of classes(chemistry only it's not that i hate the subject but my teacher was kind of a pedophile) also goodnight

It still doesn't disqualify you from being a genius. Good night
