In a highly selfish world,being selfish with your money is the way to survive. Every relationship is transactional. You can't be the only one giving and not receiving anything. Before you go see my money chop,I must dey benefit something from you.

Sick man's advice.

To Make It, You Have To Be Financially Heartless Even To Your Family Members — Skitmaker Ziczaloma

Popular skitmaker Ziczaloma has shared his thoughts on financial independence, advising people to adopt strict financial boundaries if they truly want to escape p%verty.

In a short video clip posted online while speaking on financial independence, the entertainer stated that “if you know you want to come out of p%verty, you need to be financially heartless even to your direct family”.

He explained that such a decision is not about being wicked, but about breaking out of the poverty cycle. Recounting his personal experience, he said growing up he always wanted to be financially stable. However, many of his business attempts did not succeed. “I did a lot of business while growing up but most of them failed because of family,” he stated.

Ziczaloma further stressed that “African family and even your own family are very entitled to your wealth. Even when the purpose of working is to save money and build a better future”.

Reinforcing his point, he stated; “It is very very okay to be financially heartless even to your friends and family so that you can even save up and break that circle. They will h@te you for it but trust me it is for your own good.” He concluded.

I disagree totally to this.

To make it truly, you have to ensure your family are self sufficient, that is the definition of making it and having rest of mind.

Except if you have heartless family members then you use your own discretion

Totally totally disagree with him. Financially disciplined with boundaries, yes. Heartless, HELL NO

Will that Stop you not from dying leaving everything that you choose to be heartless against people?

Ignorance is a big problem on humanity, humans forgot that they have limited time on earth, and everything they've been killing or heartless to accumulate is vanity and pointless at the end of the day.

Humans are insatiable by nature, and our needs or wants are also unlimited by nature. It is quite illogical to tag your desire not to give with progress, because you can never be satisfied with your present condition. Dangote was a billionaire in dolar before he started his refinery project and even borrow billions to complete. Will dangote be able to assit or help anyone while himself is still looking for monry to complete his project? The answer is no, so saying you cannot help others because you want to be financially bouyant is just a mere selfish statement because you can never reach a point of satisfaction in life to do that.

Only follow this advice to the "T" if you truly know you come from a lazy, entitled family, i don't want to use the word "Useless." You know those type of family and siblings that even if you invest N100M on them, they will never make anything tangible with their lives.

My dad gave us the best he could, and i took it up as the first son. Of 4 siblings, i pushed 1 to Netherlands and from there to the USA, pushed 2 to Germany and the last just completed NYSC. Do i regret my actions? No? Did it bring me down financially? I would say NO because it took critical planning and budgeting to pull it through.

Family matters and blood is thicker than water; but first make sure the family was raised right and the love is real, not money driven. And if you are unfortunate to have a black sheep in the family, never make more than one attempt to uplift him/her. One opportunity is enough for anybody who wants to make something good out of his/her life.

What is the definition of AFTER? You think money always reach rich people? If you say I want to wait till I am 100% Rich, you might never attain that perfection. Even Dangote self still Dey find some level of perfection which is why he keep taking loans and explaining.

If you’re from a family where you all grow up together in brotherhood and love, you can help them even when you’re still coming up so far you have the means.

Very very true. Frugality is a must for prosperity

Ironically this is actually NOT true. Everything is dependent on fooling the universe and the universe is easy to fool. The universe gives you what you are or have or align with. By frugality you think you're saving, but ironically you're actually telling the universe there is lack and it will have no choice but give you lack so you can keep being frugal!

What's the purpose of wealth if not to impact the lives of people around you.

Coming from a guy who did a cosmetic surgery, I'm not surprised.

The surgery really wiped his senses off. That's why big men don't like helping poor men except they suffer for their(big men's) course.
If you help poor man finish, he will become naive with reasonings especially these Gen Z's.

Y'all miss his point. He's talking of TO GET OUT OF POVERTY!!!
TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY!!!
Otherwise the cycle continues. That's his point!

Getting out of poverty requires accumulation of assets or if you win the lottery, there is no other way.
You can't accumulate if you give everything you get as you're begged. Simple as that.
Once the flow of money becomes somewhat stable, you have broken the cycle, you then unleash generosity!
