None is greater instead they are both complimentary. With money you can get power if you play your cards right , with power you can amass a fortune If you play your cards Right. Money and power are two Tools of Equal Strength .The Wisdom of the wielder of both is the only thing that differentiates them . For further studies Check out MARCUS AURELIUS

If you don't have money but have power, you are as useless as the P in psychology. Money stops nonsense!!!

Get money, even the person that has power would be calling u sir upanda.

Power of course.
It is no brainer that you can manipulate power to accumulate insane amount of wealth and money, legally or illegally. You can also use power to consolidate and gather even more power.
Anybody can have money but it is not everybody that can have power.

Money is an element of power, power can as well be purchased with money,
Money has other forms but so does power,
Power can drive money, yesssss money too can drive power,
Power can be converted into money but vice versa,

I give up, this argument will never end....... But let me say it clear and loud, I want both and if I get enough of one I should be able to produce the other with it. Told you, one is a subset of the other.

Power is greater than Money. Power can imprisoned Money. Typical example When the then Head of State Gen. Sanni Abacha imprisoned Chief MKO Abiola.

You're missing the point.. Power in this context refers to an exalted office like that of the President of any nation.
How will you send people to kill a well guarded person in position of power?

Correct observer, Power guarantees money except he/she isn't motivated by money but money does not always guarantee power.

Don't you know power can strip away money? Ask MKO's family what Abacha did to their patriarch's businesses.

Or look at Jack Ma. See how Xi Jinping has chopped him to size after that arrogant speech he made in 2019.

In d western world, with power you can acquire wealth (money).

While..

In Africa, (in Nigeria especially) with money you can acquire power plus more money.

Power..

You can have all the money in the world but power can still mess you up. When you have power, you'll control money.

Most of them don't understand what power is. Dangote has money, Tinubu has power. So, who's to be feared most among the two? grin

Power

This is because with power, money is almost assured!

Some people have been chasing power with money for so long but it has continued to elude them.

Power can strip one of all his/her money within a twinkle of an eye but with all the money in this world, one can't do anything to someone who has power.

So, I'll choose power if I'm to choose one of the two. However, my focus is to gain both of them.
