God Himself said in the Holy Bible that:


"I will bless whom I will bless" , which means that your life is predestined, whatever you will be you will be...even your foolishness will contribute to your destination in life.


Humans only have choice in one thing; where to spend their eternity after their journey on earth, aside this, every other thing about you has been predestined, you can only plead for mercy and if there is slot for that then you can obtain mercy to alter your role in the script of life.



Even your laziness will help you to get to your destination...so success in life is not just a factor of hardwork or wisdom or intelligence but hugely dependent on your destiny.



Your destiny decides how far you will go in life, when you will die and how you will die and you cannot do anything about it just as Jesus Christ couldn't stop his own death even though He knew it was going to be painful, He wished it could pass away but then, He knew that was his destiny and his role in the script of life to fulfill God's will.
hahaha

Oga even dou someone is destined to be wealthy.
You wouldn’t still achieve it being lazy and foolish.

Ok look at hush puppy has example. That guy has been destined to be rich already. Plenty others that are involved In scamming isn’t as rich as hush puppy. Then was he lazy? Hell no!.

If you like don’t hustle and pray for Gods mercy. Stay there and depend on an old man’s prophecy about you being rich without doing or working to achieve it.

He had parents who laid a solid foundation for him..he won the birth lottery.. The 2st and most important lottery any human can win.

So yes... He is lucky.... And he built on that luck.. Even though there are snippets of some of his alleged shadowy dealings.. But as I wasn't there when he was doing it, I will count it all his "luck" grin


Go read A. A. Rano's story.. That right there is full blown hustle devoid of any birth lottery

@ bolded, he was LUCKY to be born with hustle spirit. He could have been born lazy or with an imbecíle brain.
It all boils down to LUCK!

Define gace. Differentiate it from luck

Grace is divine, Luck is probabilty, that is why lottery games don't say graceful winner instead they say Lucky winner, out of randomness what is the probability of a winner, Grace is continuous, Luck is random selection.

@bolded, see convoluted logic.
If destined to be wealthy you'd be born with the right spirit to achieve it

The time he spends on the social media and personality cult doesn't speak well of a genuine businessman. Personal image and clout chasing seem more important to him than his businesses

It's always easy to give inspirational talk like this when u have made it, and ironically, when u have made it without much hard work, but with more luck (connections in this case).

There is luck, no be everything be religion. In life you need a bit of luck. We are have the grace of breathing, living, working, then a bit of luck to garnish. Bleep Religion. Travel abroad and you understand. Don’t let those pastors brainwash you.

Saw the tweets earlier today , the funny thing is" I too know" people who always have opinion about another person's life story, yet are confused themselves.
Social media is really funny . Dudes lecturing who they ought to beg to lecture them.
A lot of people need to learn about perception we see things in different ways . Some of us will not be where we are today if not for our parents, schools, pains, struggles and community none of which we choose ourselves.

Oga, it's not luck Abeg. Those who tweeted against 'luck' re very right

You are very correct on that. Jim Ovia as well was lucky.

However, Akingbola and Cecilia Ibru were not that lucky

Sometimes we Nigerians are too hard on ourselves.
Go ask Elon Musk and Donald Trump the same thing because they’re always on Twitter.

You are confusing yourself. Based on what events? What determined you being born into poverty in Naija with a lazy spirit, as opposed to being born wealthy in US with a hustling spirit?
