Mr minister you keep deviating from my question ,
I said if there was no internet, how would you have escaped poverty,
Just a simple question Mr minister

My dear brother...

With due respect, bury your head in shame... Your argument here doesn't speak too well of you.

Mr. Minister, there are allegations that you made your money through some questionable means. Can you defend yourself?

Sirchiboy:
You don't know what you are saying.
How did they make their money?
You can only escape poverty in nigeria through connection or opportunity..
If you like work hard for 100 years.
Without connection or opprtunity nothing dey sup

Delete the trash. Your title is very wrong and then your follow-up contributions even makes you seem like an unstable person.

Onyeka Nwelue claims no one born into a poor family can ever escape poverty

The dude is telling the story of his family.

This kind statement supposed to have been deleted immediately, leaving it here means even the moderators are thinking in a such narrow way. Every generation starts from low and poor beginning. It's God that elevates not man. I'm born to dominate in Jesus name.

1m to upload a pic of me

I have seen people that escaped poverty.

Widowed mother, no family home, been homeless several times.

Just believe.

Sirchiboy:

I wasn't born with a silver spoon... But my parent ensured I went to school.

To the glory of God, I have a good paying job and the path I am paving now, am sure my kids won't be in poverty.

So yes, I will say that I have escaped poverty. Now what's your point.

There are exceptions, namely:

1.) As a Nigerian born poor, you can escape family poverty through migrating abroad


2.) Through business and entrepreneurship, especially buying and selling. A lot of Nigerians escaped poverty through trading or buying and selling things

3.) You can escape family poverty through Yahoo too, a lot of Nigerians did escaped poverty through it


4.) You can escape family poverty through good paying jobs, I know a lot that good paying jobs with companies like; NNPC, Mobil, NLNG, Total, Saipem (Eni Group), Hyundai, CBN, etc saved from generational poverty, but you must get in immediately after NYSC through Graduate Trainee recruitment.

5.) Some Nigerians escaped family poverty through government work combined with office corruption like collecting bribes, kickbacks, etc


6.) Some escaped family poverty through lecturing job where they used selling of substandard handouts, collecting sorting money from students with low grade for result upgrade, etc to escape family poverty.


7.) Some escaped family poverty through active politics from grassroots, though it's not rampant but some did.


8.) Some escaped family poverty through marriage, this is very common among Nigerian ladies; many of them escaped family poverty through marriage.


9.) Some escaped family poverty through hookup and high class escort parole, especially ladies

10.) Some escaped family poverty through social media content creation, blogging, vlogging, working online, remote jobs

11.) Some escaped poverty through religious work like being preacher, clergy, etc.



So there are exceptions but it's not always easy to escape family poverty, it takes hard work, dedication, resilience and God's mercy and favour.

Were they sleeping when the opportunity arrived the answer is no,they were doing something which is called processing before the opportunity came.

This is the dumbest post of the year.
Both the onyeka and op are unhinged and suffering from low self esteem and have a very fvcked up mentality.
Mods should not be allowing such crappy posts.

You are just suffering from low self esteem and you have a poverty mentality.
I really feel pity for you, with such fvcked up mentality you are doomed and will eternally remain poor.

Sirchiboy:
Mr Minister of smart works stop hiding or beating around the bush.
Mention the business.
I have my empirical facts here with me.
You keep talking about hardwork

With this your mentality, you will be more poor than your fathers.

Omoboricash:
MKO Abiola was not born into rich family.
Arisekola Alao
Mufutau Olanihun
Wasiu Alabi Pasuma

King sunny Ade

The list is unending
The guy should stop saying rubbish

Hmmmmmmmm!

This are 100 people in a pool of 1m
Let be realistic the vast majority of the poor remains poor till they die

The problem with you people is that you are too optimistic about life so you don't see the true picture

Look around you, everywhere, the farmers, labourers, the artisans etc how many of them really made it out of there perpetual struggles with money?

Jakarta:
That's a big fat lie and a very low mentality. You can be born in poorverty and still become very wealthy. You just need to harness your potentials.

That's true but you must be 1 in a million

The vast majority never make it through

We are only attached to hearing the stories of the very lucky few

When in reality there are many more who never made it

It reminds me of this quote "there is no rose without thorns but there are many thorns without rose" in life.

Nonexisting1:
Go and read about Alex Ekwueme and Laz Ekwueme in Oko. They were born in abject poverty that their mother was going around buying food on credit. One day she was cooking and the woman she bought food items came for her money and out of anger scattered the food she was cooking and the children were crying. The story says they paid the woman a visit with a car loaded filled with food items when Alex became the vice president. I am sharing this to encourage someone reading and believing every nonsense some eddiots post on social media. You can be whatever you want to be and change your family history, just work smart and position yourself well to grab an opportunity when it comes. It comes only twice in a lifetime, if you miss the first one, never ever miss the second because that's the last.

If you still earn salary you are still poor
There is a thin line between you and the person on the street

Most of you don't even know what true wealth is

Vast majority struggle with money till they die

There are different kinds of salary. A bank manager is earning salary. Even tinubu still collects salary abi they are poor too🤔😂

Please define true wealth🤔

True wealth is "peace of mind"

No one have peace of mind living paycheck to paycheck

So traders and business men have peace of mind according to you??

List categories of rich men that “you know” that have peace of mind??

This thread is closed! Abeg make nobody come deceive our youths for here. It’s better to die trying than lose hope. “Optimism is far better than being pessimistic “ no let anybody whine you. It’s better to be on the safe side.

Shalom✌️

The vast majority don't have peace
They live in constant deprivation and the only thing that gives them joy is comparing thereselfs with other.

I cannot list because I don't know, most people are pretending to be happy when they are not.

One of the prerequisite of wealth is having money lots of it that you don't ever have to work but how many can boast of that.

Now link what you just said to your first comment and your comment on salary earners.

Still depends on your definition of being rich and we’re talking of being rich not greedy cos now you’re trying to tell me bank managers are poor or tinubu is poor cos he’s still working?

You’re mixing everything up. You’re saying peace of mind and having lots of money and we both know they don’t relate. Majority of men that have the kind of money you’re talking of don’t have peace of mind. Being rich is being able to provide for yourself, your family, cover your basic necessities and still have reserves. Not until you start buying lambo.

Just imagine a man that his father never bought a house and he doesn’t only buys a house, but he has a car and a happy family. Don’t you think he’s rich🤔

I can guarantee you that such a man will even be happier than the “filthy rich” that you’re talking about. Being rich is not about showing off but building a legacy silently that your next gen will benefit from. Just imagine the man providing quality education for his kids and securing their future. Then you’ll tell me he is poor.

The both of us know it is very possible.
Shalom🚶‍♂️

You still don't get it.

He is still at a state of constant deprivation if he has to work to earn an income, back in his mind he knows that if the income stops coming everything runs down.

The system has been crafted in such a way that if you don't have money you'd be poor and if you are poor you'd suffer. It like spinning a wheel to keep balance if you stop spinning you'd fall. True peace is when you don't have to spin and you don't have to fall.

If you have to spin for your next generation to be rich that’s not being poor. Even footballers and crypto traders still work. If we want to follow your definition, that means roughly 60% of humans are poor or more cos everyone is working. Even your musicians are working.

List some “rich jobs” you know that doesn’t involve creativity and working??
