Lol. All I can see is scarcity mindset and 'looming disaster' mindset. Save all your pennies as much as you want, when certain problems come, you wouldn't even have enough money saved to do anything close to solving that problem. Do you have N80m saved up to handle dialysis and cancer procedures? Do you have N50m for kidney transplant? Do you even have ordinary N1m to pay aboki kidnappers ransom if they 'gbab' you or your dear family member travelling in one dead God is Good bus somewhere? God forbids all these things. I'm just painting a picture.



Wrong. You're probably a salary earner or small business owner. I understand that things are tough for most regular folks. But some of us are seasoned entrepreneurs and schemers, with a knack for literally dredging money out of unimaginable places - legally. People need to broaden their horizons and come to the realization that knowing how to make money is a matter of life and death. If you don't know how to make money using your own knowledge, skills, and devices, then you're at the mercy of the elements. That is the koko, not saving pennies and deluding yourself that you're making progress. Nuff said.
First of all you have to be wise, my lifestyle doesn't warrant me to be kidnapped or have kidney transplant. I try as much as possible to avoid that side. I'm very healthy, no drink no smoke no drugs. Its like coming from a poor home and doing illegal activities, once you get caught you will be locked up for a long time.

I can agree that you are richer than me if you are a big time politician, an entertainer (atleast to speed Darlington's level) or a prostitute or a ritualist. All those things you are saying are just to make yourself feel good and sound like a sharp guy.

NIGERIA IS IN A DEPRESSION, NOTHING IS MOVING, MOST BIG BUSINESSES ARE JUST STRUGGLING TO BREAK EVEN. Even tech bros... any tech company registered in Nigeria will find it extremely difficult to sell overseas.

Its either you are still under daddy and mommy or you are one of those occupations I mentioned earlier.

Mumu op.

Instead of the ewu to be giving people clues on how to triple their incomes,he wants them to starve to death in the name of saving.

Nobody should take this trash to fp.

I'm out of here.
God forbid I give you any clue on how to triple your income. Go and slug it out, experience life and find out by yourself.

Saving in a hyper inflationary economy whose currency is unstable?

Best of luck buddy.

Food for thought: Your aged parents, uncles and aunties that worked hard in their youthful years thinking they’ll have a fat pension pot to retire on. Their efforts are now wasted no thanks to inflation that has eroded the purchasing power of their monthly pension income.

Better have a farm, raise livestock, fisheries or get involved in artisanal mining.

Controlling essential commodities is the koko, don’t waste your time slaving away to earn in a worthless currency. You’re only defrauding yourself.
Smart comment.
I don't save in naira or even dollars.
You will be surprised.

I suddenly stopped seeing a contact on my WhatsApp. It disappeared even on my WhatsApp contact list but the number is still on my phone contact list. If I open my phones contact list, I can select to send a message to the contact through WhatsApp and it will open the contact on WhatsApp, I will send message and it will deliver and once i leave the chat, i wont see it again on whatsapp, if the person reply me, I won't see it or get a notification, I won't even know until I open the contact again on my phone contact list and select WhatsApp. If i type the name i saved the number with on WhatsApp, i wont see it thrn my WhatsApp contact list number reduced by 1 and even i refresh it will say contact list is updatedyet that contact wont be there, even in groups that we are together his name is not showing but if he makes a comment in the group, I will see it but if i try to open the members of the group, i wont see him at all. I have searched on my second WhatsApp and I can see it. Who has an idea what could have happened?

What he wrote has nothing to do with poverty index poverty index is about income

Nigerians 93 million of them are classified because they earn less than $2 per day not because of how they spend

If you make the right financial decisions how will you ever end up with living on $2/day?

Most young men engaged in gambling and then end up poor living on less than $2/day, isn't that poor decision making?

Non-fuctional drug Addicts, womanizers..

Even normal people who are not financial literate.

Poor decision making is the root cause of poverty. People don't know the law of seasons. Sometimes you have to get little, you can't always be eating with 10 fingers.

Gambling is done majorly in the South
North doesn't allow gambling so why are they mostly poorer compared to South

I dare you to illustrate how you would get out of poverty earnings $2 per day I dare you
