These days when I see little children playing or heard someone just gave birth, some melancholy absorbed me as I project to what their future will be in some decade or two decades to now.
Even me in my early twenties, my future is at stake, let alone those that just started life in this country.
I'm not being pessimistic about this or being a prophet of doom but with what I've read and know about this country, the future is bleak!

I just need someone to assuage my fears.

Do what is right at the right time
Sooo believe

It's not your fault if your born in a poor family.. but it's your fault if you die poor.

YoobaNesan:
Forget it, no matter how you try, if you've found yourself in a poor system, you will just meander through it and finally end up poor.

Thanks man.
Always enjoy your quota.
More ink to your pen.

CaveAdullam:
1. Place of birth is a core factor that highly determines the progress of a child. A child may be dull and slow, but if there is the right environment for that child, the child can be catered to become a well-to-do adult in the future.

2. Family background is another core factor. Born into a poor family sets the child backward and far from the playing field of life. That child may end up hearing the game but will never witness it, even if the child does, the goalpost will always be far from him.

3. In the Nigerian music industry, if you observe well, most of the artists that you hear on the radio and different exquisite platforms have good parents that sponsored them to the limelight without them crawling in the dark in search of the mic and the podium. Some parents had good connections and linked their children to quality music brands and records.

4. No matter your talent and skill, coming from a poor home will easily make you sink out of your dream; hopes are drained. You may even become scared of your dreams, there will be constant recalibrations of your ambitions just to trim them down to the level your poverty and penury can entertain.

5. Being born poor is a crime against humanity! But are you going to stop the last joy of the poor parents - which are children? The essence of marriage is reproduction, reproduction is the aim of the mating process. Every offspring as a result of that union must be able to survive. Poor parents don't care. Only after procreation did they start running helter-skelter in search of materials to cater to the kids.

6. Reproduction is an instinct. Only mass castration can stop poor people from giving birth.

So, the goal is not to stop poor people from reproducing but to create a prosperous and sustainable economic system and networks of economic growth that can satisfy the basic needs of the growing population.

7. It is a pity that the majority of the young Nigerian population will never see the light. It is pathetic. But many do believe they will be successful and appear in the Forbes list because they have a strong belief in God and religion. They ignore the weightier matter of the land and choose to chase illusions because they are ignorant.

8. The few that (will) succeed will taint their hands in social vices and (some) tinctures of evil. Ascending to the top from a poor society is a road filled with dried blood, decayed flesh, and dried bones.

Except you choose to be contented with your meager income. Outright ruthlessness, wickedness, arrogance, and transgression of law are the order of the day in a poor and failed state when ascending to the top.

9. Those that are aware: activists, businessmen, and intellectuals can't fight back because they have their interests, money, and pride to protect. There is always a quid pro quo of the greater good for their temporal desires. Not only that, if they become rebellious they will be exterminated by those who have a larger armory and power over them: political leaders.

But can they destroy these multitudes of peasants if the peasants are ready and willing to strike and take over their land? Fear is what these tiny sets of oppressors used to conquer the masses.

10. The psychological implications of this societal decay and menace: you'll come to a stage when you will start questioning your sanity. You'll begin to ask yourself if you're the one taking the wrong decision and making the wrong steps. You just have to quickly snap back to reality and to the conclusion that beyond you, the problem is on a grand scale.

11. The majority of Nigerian and African children will never see the light due to the persistence of failed African leaders and governments. They can only murmur for too long and be comforted by the promises written in religious books; the peasants rather be pacified by the promise of a golden home in paradise than send their enemies to the guillotine.

12. To survive and make a little headway, one must be flexible and adaptable. Maybe he can find a niche convenient till his end of days. Or, save his way to a better geographical area or continent where things work and citizens are proud to fight for their country and be called heroes and patriots.

Thanks.

another banger
Cave I would like to ask a question
You are somebody I admire the role model I follow I started reading some of your old post and I realized you were a Christian
How did you transit from been a Christian to a care giver
And what books can you recommend for a brother that is about to become 20

CaveAdullam:
If I get you correctly:

1. Learn a scalable skill, computer skill preferable. Start latest December 2022.

2. You don't need to believe in a God/god or become a Christian or religious person to be a good person. But the concept of God is valuable in our lives and society. All you need do is to decipher and understand the significant lessons behind religious metaphors, proverbs, and allegories.

3. Make a declaration today that you'll pursue facts and truth and nothing but wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. You'll start experiencing a change in your life.

4. All books are vital. One is not more important than the other. But so far, you can ignite yourself with these:

A. The Bible.
B. The Quran.
C. Counte of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.
D. Mastery by Robert Greene.
E. Rationale male series by Rollo Tomassi.
F. Endurance by Alfred ***
G. When breathe becomes air by ***

Important mention:
@tellyoursonthis on Twitter.
@BabaCave on Twitter.
Jordan Peterson also got good content on YouTube.

5. Take your growth as a do-or-die affair and you'll experience a positive change.

6. Write daily and improve on your use of English.

Thanks.
