That the reason I'm planning to give 30 people on this nairaland 5 million naira each to start up something doing. What can a 5 million naira do for you?

Gbadugbakun:
Well they're poor because Iyalakara and her husband stole their money and told them to go and fry akara. And frying akara with firewood made them darker and very poor. That's why.

GO AND CURE YOUR HEAD OF RACIAL COMPLEX.

The Black Race is the First Born of Creation by over 200,000 years.

The lighter races emerged barely 7,000 years ago.

MELANIN-DEFICIENT bleached-out descendants of the first AFRICAN explorers who settled the whole Earth tens of thousands of years ago. And gave the world speech, writing, mathematics, architecture, medicine, the sciences and the arts.

Iron Smelting, the very basis of ALL metallurgy and modern technology, was invented in Lejja, Nsukka, Nigeria.

The world's oldest iron smelting site was discovered there and carbon-dated to 2650 BCE, nearly 2,000 years before Greece and Rome.

In your next-door neighbour Sudan, sit over 250 pyramids, more than even Egypt, which itself was a Black African civilisation.

Those Sudanese pyramids are thousands of years older than any building in Europe or America or Asia.

Without the black race, there would be no whites, Arabs, Asians or Americans, or modern civilisation.

And the whole world would be living in caves in the Stone Age.

How DARE you juxtapose the black race negatively with its bleached-out offspring of yesterday?

DECOLONISE YOUR HEAD, OKAY?

elderhimself:
In this life, there will always be
The rich and the poor
The kings and the slaves (subjects)
Beautiful and the ugly
Fair skin and dark skin...

Just as we didn't and can't choose our parents, we can't choose to be either of those too.
Don't be deceived, it's never by who is more hardworking, struggles the most, who get sense pass or even prays and fasts the hardest.

The Almighty does His things in His own ways, unfortunately we will never get answers, even if we ask the questions.

I think it just boils down to God's grace and mercy.

I am writing this out of fear and out of being inquisitive. People that are poor, why are they poor?


I didn't grow up in a rich neighborhood. My estate was mixture of civil servants, government workers and petty traders. Everybody relying on each other for one thing or the other

But as time went on, I started to observe other kids saying and some times telling me I'm from a rich home.
Of course, that was their perception since they are oblivious of the struggles my family faced always waiting "for end of the month".
And never enough money to last a whole month.

As time went by, I started being conscious of people looking scrawny and wearing just one type of clothes with less colour. Dry looking skin, feet and wearing palm sandals.

I didn't like that kind of dressing so I always wore a white canvas mum bought for me meant for church. I also used to wear one I acquired from my brother by "rite of passage"🤔

When they see me, they always stared at me and even laughed at me that I was wearing a fine canvas. I tried to explain to them that it keeps the skin dust free and neat nails. These people call me Ajebutter.

It didn't make any sense to me. Why would you laugh at me for wearing something good? I felt we should always try to solve a problem when we observe it... Instead of thinking we are strong and exposing the skin to harm

I was still a kid but it gradually became obvious most of these people were poor.

the reason they think you are rich is because you have what they dont have

In nigeria, if you have a camera, they think you are rich
if you are a content creator, they will think you are rich
if you are fat, they think you are rich
if you have iphone, they think you are rich
if you have mountain bicycle, they think you are rich

people who have nothing always think those with basic stuff are rich

I already have a small restaurant. 5 milla will help us subsidize food for the general public to a great extent. We'll buy 10 bags of rice at once and the rest will go into ingredients.

So I started to ask questions. Why are these people poor?
I don't want to be like these people when I grow up.
I want to be rich and then I started praying to God that I wanted to be rich, have a family and take care of my kids.

As I grew older, the realities of life started to surface. It felt like the whole world was against me academically, financially and even spiritually.
It took me a while to gain admission.

During that phase, I started to get into one problem or the other. I didn't have money and I couldn't afford anything. I saw my few of friends graduated from the University when I gained admission into 100 level

I saw myself becoming what I always prayed to God I didn't want to become. It got so bad I thought about joining a bad gang.
Then at a point, I wanted to go and learn Barbing, hair cutting.

Then I remembered I told God I didn’t want to be doing what poor people where doing that they never became rich.
