I’ve noticed a pattern in Nigeria, economically disadvantaged areas tend to produce more footballers, comedians and generally people that work in entertainment, while rich and middle class areas often produce more doctors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and CEOs. I think most poor people ambition is through sports, comedy, and entertainment because those paths are more accessible Most rich and middle class areas tend to produce more Startup founders, Doctors and CEOs because they have access to resources, like quality education, mentorship, funding, and stable environments. 2 Likes |

motymop:YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY CORRECT..... environment is a FACTOR but the MINDSET is shaped by more than just ENVIRONMENT. People are shaped by EXPOSURE..... EXPERIENCE.... BOOKS/TAPES/VIDEOS they watch..... WHO THEY TALK TO. Jeffery Benson is one of them.......... from IKORODU... Founder of Flutterwave is another..... the list is endless. A PERSON CAN LIVE IN THE SLUM BUT HAVE THE MINDSET AND CULTURE OF A BILLIONAIRE before his money arrives. 1 Like |

This is largely true. In football terms, the area where one grows could either make him to be a goal up or a goal down at the start of life. |

blackpanthar:Your claim is just another factor one which is not a major catalyst like your environment. By saying, "People are shaped by EXPOSURE..... EXPERIENCE.... BOOKS/TAPES/VIDEOS they watch..... WHO THEY TALK TO" is the privileges the rich mostly enjoys which ends up shaping their lives even if they don't have the mindset of a Billionaire. |
