mayhead:

People will just come here and say some type of things
Why would someone just come and say all riches and wealth belong to satan
So does this mean riches are only meant for pastors or the likes or they are also worshipping satan
Or bill gates that worked with his sense shouldn’t have had money unless he was worshipping satan….SMH

But the bible said it is more easier for the head of a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. U & I know it is not possible for the head of a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, invariably it is not possible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Now why would the bible make such a grave statement about the rich?? If u study that part of the scripture very well, the bible generalized it, meaning the bible knows before any man becomes wealthy he must have done something unholy! You mentioned bill gates? U can't even trust yourself let alone another human. Michael Jackson had great talent, but we heard a lot of evil affiliations with him, even with his talent. No man will ever expose his evil deeds, including u! The few little bad things u must have done in secret u will never say it. Riches come with a lot of evil affiliations. Even Christ told the rich man in the bible that wanted to follow him to give his wealth to the poor, riches is not something for true a Christian. That's just the truth!

DannyG8:
you simply mean nobody is going to heaven

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 10:25

Can a camel go through the eye of a needle??

Mheeennn.. our poverty runsss sooo deeeeppp that we think you cant be wealthy without dirty deals!!! Except you mean becoming wealthy OVERNIGHT!!

What do you call wealthy? Everyone mustn't be an entrepreneur !! you can work a high paying job and become wealthy!! you can invest in good stocks! you can work in I.T!!

-You can import gloves and mask.. and COVID hits.. and you sell x20 the cost. (

It is our craze for maad quick money that makes us think we must do shady deals to become wealthy!!

Identify a problem/need.. create value to solve a problem.. be patient and consistent and hardworking.. You will be wealthy!!

Goldbw122:
When I mean dirty deeds, I mean manipulation, cheating, fortifying of document and many more.

When you look the good business and transaction you have done, over the years, you see that you have wasted your time, you have had different opportunity to make your life wealthy, but you justlet it slide because you want to have a good record, but along time line no money to finance your life. And you have the opportunity again, is it wise to do the dirty deeds or not.. regarding the consequences that follow.

This is a very interesting question.

I recently watched an interview with Obi Cubana where he said that integrity is one of the most important skills required for success in business

What I will say is that if you look at wealthy people of the likes of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, while they don't directly take part in dirty deals of the sort you mentioned, they look for ways to suppress competitors by any means

I recently chatted with a former senior executive of Microsoft and he told me that their Edge browser is pretty much a duplicate of Google Chrome. They copied the exact same code. Not a dirty deal but it is cheating in a way

Speaking of Jeff, Amazon cannibalize their competitors. They either try to buy them over and if they disagree, they put them out of business by driving costs down and so on

Dangote runs monopolies. Microsoft Windows was also a monopoly for years which contributed immensely to Bill's wealth

So, my point is that, to win a big market share and become wealthy, business men need to find a way to undercut their competitors. Now, is this illegal? No, it's not. Their tactics are legal, yet they may not seem ethical

You cannot be a good Samaritan and become wealthy. You'll have to pull some strings in ways that may not seem ethical. Yet, the wealthy tend to be very hard working, very intelligent, very wise, and so on. They also have very high levels of personal growth. They see the world and think very differently compared to average citizens. Their character is also very different. All this contributes to their extreme success

FYI, I'm not talking about criminals and politicians who get their money through illegal means. My comment is about wealthy business men and women

SonofGod231:
For the bible to even say "It will be easier for a camel to pass through the needles eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God" Apparently,I wonder if any rich man go make heaven. The parable dey confuse me every day because camel no go fit ever pass through Needle eye.

That verse is to keep you poor dumbass.

That's what I've been trying to achieve for the past 16 years. I am getting there. With God, things work gradually. But with patience, perseverance, faith, foresight, and concrete plans, it will come to pass.

Notice I didn't put 'hardwork' in there! This is because most poor people work harder than your average rich guys.

"..it is the blessings of the Lors that maketh rich"

Yes 100% possible, someone can make genuine wealth without soiling his/her hands with vices.

So that makes for dirty money too?
I have to be following my customer upandan asking them if their money's clean really?

youngest85:
Not in Nigeria because even if your hands are clean, the majority of your customers hands are not clean

Of course.. You can be very very wealthy...the blessings of God maketh rich and added no sorrow..

Piper100:
So that makes for dirty money too?
I have to be following my customer upandan asking them if their money's clean really?

You have to follow them
I'm just saying that in reality we are all spending dirty money

Lol, you are talking like a kid . Stop saying thrash . How much do you have?. You want to claim Tony Emelu was super clean. I don't want to insult you but you talk like a baby . I'm referring to Nigerians in Nigeria. Count footballers out of it . Like I said Earlier stop speaking English. And how much is ur networth. And learn how to differentiate being rich from being wealthy

What I will say is that if you look at wealthy people of the likes of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, while they don't directly take part in dirty deals of the sort you mentioned, they look for ways to suppress competitors by any means

I recently chatted with a former senior executive of Microsoft and he told me that their Edge browser is pretty much a duplicate of Google Chrome. They copied the exact same code. Not a dirty deal but it is cheating in a way

Speaking of Jeff, Amazon cannibalize their competitors. They either try to buy them over and if they disagree, they put them out of business by driving costs down and so on

Dangote runs monopolies. Microsoft Windows was also a monopoly for years which contributed immensely to Bill's wealth

So, my point is that, to win a big market share and become wealthy, business men need to find a way to undercut their competitors. Now, is this illegal? No, it's not. Their tactics are legal, yet they may not seem ethical

You cannot be a good Samaritan and become wealthy. You'll have to pull some strings in ways that may not seem ethical. Yet, the wealthy tend to be very hard working, very intelligent, very wise, and so on. They also have very high levels of personal growth. They see the world and think very differently compared to average citizens. Their character is also very different. All this contributes to their extreme success

FYI, I'm not talking about criminals and politicians who get their money through illegal means. My comment is about wealthy business men and women

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You have to be smart and cheat also . Billionaire are not clean . To be successful you need to be intelligent, smart and also have grace though

A metaphor with illustration in itself simple enough!

Not necessarily a metaphor.
In Jewish land, there's a little door where people and animals(like donkey and camel) can pass. But they'll need to bend and move past it slowly (cos it's height is little compared to nomal doors/gate). That little opening or door/gate is what is called or known as "eye of the needle" in Israel
That eye of the needle, the camel can pass it, but it'll be with great difficulty. And that place still exist till now in Israel

So to your question...
Yes, literally, a camel can go through the eye of the needle, Jesus was referring to

That's what it looks like below

Knowingly or unknowingly you must get involved in dirty deals.

Tony elemelu that was indicted in billions of NITEL fraud? Is that the person u are mentioning his name? How did he acquire the highest share in uba? I just dey laugh una.

As regards mikel obi, incase u don't know, Footballers & celebrities are the most used people to peddle drugs, people will always have something they will use to front when their wealth attain a certain level, that doesn't mean if they have shaddy deals running in the background they will tell u! U can't conclude a man's wealth by what u see on the outside or from afar, get close to him & u will be shocked at what u will discover!
