There are millions of Extroverted Nigerians who are very very poor. They hunch around rich people shouting "Twale Baba".

While no one has all the answers to how some make money when others don't, I have always believed in 3 things. D.S.F

Determination
Strategy
Focus

You must combine these 3 things. None must be missing at all. Sometimes, most of us who are Poor, lack one or all these 3 things.

Unless joining Associations is a Strategic Strategy for you, you will only end up wasting your time and your scarce funds in these associations.

Your last sentence 👍.

nedekid:
Exactly. Infact you are more likely to be successful if you are an extrovert.

That's your thinking based on your life experience.

In this present age, you can live quietly and be financially loaded.

Not everyone likes social interactions.

I rose from the scratch without ever belonging to any association or group, beside Church wey I dey attend only on Sundays. Thank God, on a low key today, my money don reach 10-digit in Naira and equivalent of 7-digit if converted to USD.

Do not get me wrong. I love and keep good friends and I see nothing wrong in that. But you see all these associations and groups here and there, certainly not for me. Who wan help you go help you, association or not. As a matter of fact, if anyone needs you to join their association before they help you, then you are joining a low-key Occultic Group. I don't just understand una ooo. But whatever rocks your boat, ride on it...

I agree with you 1000000%.

But many had been conditioned to think in a particular way, which I am not a fan of.

Note this word I used "likely".

Lagos was a small town we Nigerians made a mega city not Yoruba

Just like Abuja

Well you can't deny the fact it's the locality of a particular tribe.

If you brought your land and we all contribute to build a block of flat... Would you want to control me in my own portion of flats because it's in your land?

Take that word control out. Nobody is interested in controlling anybody. Once everyone stays within the ambience of the rules that governs the society, lobatan! Chikena!

You want me to stay in the land we all built and not have a say in who becomes caretaker?
Allow only decide because it's your land?

Is that not what the problem is

Delulu, no matter what you tell yourself to make yourself feel good, Lagos is somebody's enclave; it's not a one size fits all menu. Igbos don't have ancestral roots in Lagos, the reason why an Emeka or a Chukwudi cannot wake up one day and says he wants to be king. Even if royalty becomes one one kobo, Chioma or Ngozi cannot benefit. For this reason and many more, sorry, you can't say who becomes a caretaker. There'll always be preferential treatment because you're not a son of the soil. This system is practiced by many organisations. It's the reason why universities for instance have catchment areas. Pẹlẹ. Go and vie for Obi in Nnewi or Onitsha, it'll be express delivery!

I'll

You want 1 Nigeria, it means we are all equal in Lagos... It's out of respect

If Fulani had Igbo population in Lagos you know deep down you won't dare this rubbish

Forget! No external tribe will drag resources with ọmọ ibilẹ. Especially in a land like Lagos. Fulanis know this otherwise they'd have run Lagos over.

If you ask me, I'd say it's covetousness (not delusion) worrying most of you. You have your own (Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Enugu, Nnewi, Nsukka) etc. Go do whatever you want with those, nobody would wrestle you over those. E lu tago?

I'd be damned if you think nothing is being done. I thought you are more sensitive than that. That things are being done diplomatically, tactfully doesn't mean nothing is being done. Show some brilliance.
