Power is the ability to achieve your objectives. Power typically involves changing or influencing what other people think, believe, or do since what you want is frequently constrained by others.




Deuteronomy 8:18
“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth,


Power influences money
Money answers everything ( Ecclesiastes 10:19)

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.

Apt!

Dangote with Financial and Administrative Power is more powerful than many ex-Governors, ex-Senators, ex-Ministers etc. with Political Power that only lasted 4/8 years.


The definition of Power is subjective.


In Nigeria, Financial Power takes the lead.
Wot makes u think so? cool

Donald Trump with all his wealth is being dragged like a puppy by d US government. Dats political power for u. cool

Abramovich of Chelsea also got his share,,, political power for u cool.

All I know is dat power can counter power at any given circumstance... Wether political, economical, spiritual, educational... But one power is always outstanding... Force as a power.(dats, use of arms and ammunitions).
Even a small boy can put gun in ur head and command respect. If Russia should throw bomb in Nigeria, Dangote go run pass me grin grin(just an instance). Who wan die? Any power dat can directly take life is d supper power.
Dats why military can always overthrow a sitting government and nothing happens.
Even Tinubu is at mercy of his lowest armed guard.
Re: Power And Money. Which One Is Greater? by vannessa7(f): 8:18pm On Sep 08, 2023
Power is greater because with power you can attract money, many people citing Tinubu, even Tinubu himself knew he couldn't make it without the power of God, he was a frequent visitor to mecca throughout the election period, he even sponsored many people to go there and pray for him, he would have spent money and still lose.
Another example is Solomon because he actually chose power when God ask him, wisdom is also power to control life situation and he attracted stupendous wealth,
God definitely has no money but He gives money to many people. Power can also destroy money because one policy or law can wipe out a whole economic chain or idea, I go for power.

anyone who has watched the godfather b1,2,3 will attest the power is power. When that Dr wanted to offer Don Corleone money He laughed at it and instead demands friendship which gives him some medical power when needed. When a certain cast refuse Don Corleone offer of big money, he put a gun to his head which quickly gives result. Putin is not the richest man on earth but he's controlling things. How many rich men have nuclear code under there thumb ?

A man with power can never lack money, if he lacks money it is because he is not motivated by money. e.g a principled public official/ civil servant, .

I disagree I totality on your views,money is good but power controls everything,that is why even if you are a billionaire you still crave power,a man with power in government can cause problems for dangote even with his riches,if you have power you cannot be poor because clients will fall over themselves to make you happy,ibeto cement with all his money was crushed and his product relegated by the stroke of a pen,if you have power ,those that want your Goodwill will buy houses,cars,lands, anything you want for you,that is power,even dangote and otedola with their billions will not want to be enemies with the controller of customs,because he can make life unbearable for them,that is why in the aftermath of the battle of carrahe,the victorious parthian army captured Marcus crassus the Roman general and the richest man in the world at that time,they melted a pot of gold and poured it into his mouth to kill him,and show him they have the power even with his riches it cannot save him

I understand you vividly, remember Don Corleono made alot of money from his olive oil businesses and some racketeering and loan sharking deals as well other deals, he was able to buy the loyalty of his subordinates which helped his rise to power. I believe you need alot of money first to get power.

without money u can't get real power! U can only inherit ur head of family without money but still when any of the family members brings money,they will follow the rich and hear whatever he commands in family' the poor head of family will only carry title on his head' useless

Una don too watch yoruba film o..
How would u even have power without money sef? And even if you do, trust me your power would only be limited or subjected to your little circle that offers your such power. Try comot for that circle to where you're not known, my guy you go explain tire with no evidence. Small pikin sef go humble you.
But with money, you can aquire, earn, and even buy power where ever you go to and which ever power you want depending on your level of wealth and interest.
Those you think that have money without power, trust me they're not really interested in such, maybe because they're principled, stingy or godly(religiously). Irrespective of your interest sef, you're still powerful in your environment, organizations, families and friends as long as they knows you have money. Greater money comes greater responsibilities comes greater controls and authorities over subordinates or employees.
Difference between oga and subordinates is power and controls (to Fire and hire )

Walai u get sense.

You can only reject money if you have power, simply because you have money too (rich and wealthy to your own satisfaction).
Putin was fucking rich before he became so powerful. And still fucking rich and even richer than the richest man on earth sef, just that he canot declear such asset because of his position as a president.
Remember there was a rumour he owns chelsea FC, using abrahamovic as a proxy and no one doubted the story. Why? because people knows he's soooo rich that abrahamovic is nothing but a puppet when money is talked about.
Money gives you power, depends on your interest and despirations tho.

And how do you achieve your objectives without money? My brother, your power is useless when money is involves in some certain objectives.
Baba, I pray we no go see situation wey go make use need money for foreign medical needs.. Na where u go know say your power so useless.
Fyi, powerful people aquire such power through wealth and are ready to control with money because that is what the people recognise.
With your power and authority as a firstborn, pray say una last born no get money pass you,. Trust me, without him your kinsmen no go start family meetings even if na you first them reach there grin

Re: Power And Money. Which One Is Greater? by Nobody: 4:21pm On Sep 09, 2023
Power is greater by a far margin.

Not humam power, but spiritual power that comes from God. I'd prefer that over wealth that even surpasses Jeff Bezzos' (i think i spelled that wrongly, though).

Money cannot bring a dead person back to life, or cure blindness from birth. Power can.

And no one should come to tell me the OP was not talking about the kind of power I depicted in my comment. All other kinds of powers don't matter! In the end.

Power is power, power is the ability to change lives, to influence events, circumstances, laws, destinies, fortunes to grant access etc.

Power comes in all forms, but money is money. There is no distinction between hush puppy and Dangote when they go to the Rolls Royce dealer. But when you get to the embassy, the social club, the ministry, institutions, conferences, constituting boards, recognizing leaders in society, you will understand the difference between money and power.

Even a Mai guard has power and can deny you the richest of men access if he so deems and his of dubious character he can make money by granting acccess. There are offices where the secretary is very powerful, because he/she determines whether you get to see oga or not. You cannot see the president without clearance by the chief of staff. He is the gatekeeper, it doesn’t matter that the president is your friend or you have money.

The permanent secretary who decides to recommend the banning the importation of rice for example has the power to make or break multiple rich in that industry with the stroke of his pen. If you were a rich man today you can go broke tomorrow as a result or you can become an instant millionaire as a result. That is power!

That is the difference between power and money. Your money does not affect my life, what you do with power can!! Dangote’s money does not make a difference to my life, what the speaker in the house of assembly or House of Representatives does while he is there does. Dangotes money does not affect my life, Dangote’s ability to affect the price of cement or petrol in future does.

Another example is the NL.C president, the guy looks, talks and behaves like someone you see under a tree drinking ogogoro at best at a beer parkour. Yet everyday he is going in and out of ASO rock, all eyes on him, he can bring the country to its knees, one day he will get national award. Yet there are rich men many legitimate and hard working who have never been inside a governors office or ASO rock, never been invited and never will be, cannot call a governor or president and will never get national honors. Why? Because he is the president of the NLC…..that is power. If his wife annoys him tomorrow and he decides he wants aviation workers to strike, your flight is cancelled!!! Ordinarily, he is supposed to be a struggling man certainly not supposed to be wealthy but by his position and power he cannot be poor because there are legitimate and illegimate means of wealth by virtue of his power, influence and position. If he is poor it is because he has no interest in money or he squandered the money he made


all those people u mention, secretary, gatekeeper,chief of staff with money and more money,u will get access to see their oga,all the bribery and corruption in the world today to get to that office,to get hold on to power what is the means of exchange,is it not money

I prefer Power. Money is a limited power. There are people that won't give a damn if you have money. If I am extremely powerful, I could reduce a wealthy man to nothing if he provokes me even if he hires thugs to deal with me (they will fail and even turn against the one that hired them). Also, if I possess immense power, I won't lack money, women and other good things.
