| Money Is Not The Prize — The Man Is by Solofresh2(op): 8:02pm On Jul 10 |
Hello fellow nairalanders, I came across a thread by dbull which I need oppose. https://www.nairaland.com/8706180/until-make-money-man-never#139970208 There is a growing belief that a man's value is tied to his wallet. That until he can provide, he cannot be seen as a man. That money makes him the prize. This is a lie. Money is a tool. It is not a man. A man with money but no character is still a weak man. A man without money but with discipline, frame, and purpose is still a man worth respecting. The prize is not the wallet. The prize is the man who carries it. Point 1: Money Attracts — Character Keeps A man with money can attract women. But money attracts women who want money. It does not attract women who want him. A man with character attracts women who want him — whether he has money or not Money can open doors. But only character can keep people inside. Point 2: Money Can Be Lost — Character Cannot A man can lose his money overnight. A business can fail. A job can end. An economy can collapse. If his value is tied to his money, he becomes worthless the moment he loses it. But a man with character — discipline, frame, integrity — cannot lose that. Even if he has nothing, he still has himself. That is true value. A man who ties his worth to his money will never be secure. A man who ties his worth to his character will never be shaken. Point 3: Money Without Frame Is Just a Resource A man with money but no frame will be used. He will be drained. He will be seen as a provider — not a partner. He will give and give, and still be disrespected. A man with frame — even with little money — will be respected. He will not be used. He will not be drained. He will not be taken for granted. A man with money and no frame is a wallet with legs. A man with frame and no money is a king in waiting. Point 4: A Man Is Not Defined by His Wallet A man is defined by his word. His discipline. His ability to lead. His ability to walk away. His ability to build. His ability to protect. These cannot be bought. They must be earned. And they are worth more than any amount of money. Money can buy comfort. It cannot buy respect. And without respect, a man is not a man — he is just a source. Money is not the prize. The man is the prize. And a man is not defined by what he has — but by who he is. Do not let anyone convince you that your wallet determines your worth. Your character, your frame, your discipline, and your integrity are what make you a man. Money is just a tool. You are the prize. 2 Likes |

Okay. Money is a tool, and the man with the tool is the prize, because without the tool, a man cannot achieve much. A man with the tool calls the shot. Let me tell you a story about a guy: This guy, his grandfather left him a big piece of land to build on when he's capable. So, because the land was in a choice area, men with money kept coming for the land, to buy it. They kept making mouthwatering offers [even going through backdoors], but the man refused because of what his grandfather had told him. He took it as an assignment. Guess what: when the guy made money, he fenced and built a house on that land in less than a year, and that finally put a stop to people coming for the land. Aim to have the tool, because without it, you will be oppressed by men like you. And that tool is money 💰💰💰 1 Like |

Mariangeles:You are right that money is a powerful tool. The man in your story used it wisely. But the tool did not make him a man — he was already a man. The tool helped him build. That is the difference. The man is still the prize. The tool is just what he uses. A man with money but no frame is still a resource. A man with frame but no money is still a leader. A man with both is unstoppable. But if you have to choose one, choose frame — because money can be regained, but respect cannot 1 Like |

Miriangeles you have no right to talk about a man's financial life or finances. I was so shocked to know that women are notoriously broke financially. Infact ehn any man that allows a woman put pressure on him financially nahim stupid. What happens to women also getting a life for themselves without being so dependent on men yet having the effrontery to broke shame men or even talk about their finances. Let me ask you this question: * Without a man's money in your life, can you function as a stable human ? Any man that allows public opinion affect him hasn't gone through life thoroughly. Life has taught me that good health + to love and being loved + peace of mind + sound health is many times better than whatever rat race is social engineered to cage people to hustle for money and feel like your entire existence boils down to money. Solofresh2: At the bolded, you have written words on marble. Money without Frame is useless cause people no go rate you. Disrespect go plenty. I wished more men experience what it feels like to be feared as a man. The fundamental truth is a man with money can never find real love, a man with money will be liked cause of what he can provide, if he doesn't have a solid frame, he will be disrespected whether to his face or behind his back. But I am always happy that time will humble us all. So I am not pained again when I see some men simp or when I see some women manipulate men cause time will humble us all. Life will happen to everyone, and no be curse, cause life nah turn by turn. Some people life dey touch them, some life dey cuddle them, some life dey give them full body massage, while some are having their best life ever, some are expecting their big break. naso life just be. Mariangeles: At the first bolded, a man is always the PRIZE, cause the world revolves around men. Civilization was built by men, going down memory lane, Alexandria of ancient Egypt, Timbuktu of ancient Mali, the mathematical prowess of ancient Persia, the works of Albeit Einstein, the discovery of Isaac Newton, the works of Galileo etc men were and are still at the fore front of modernization and revolution. There are women inventors and innovators, but men were the underlying engine doing all the works. So money alone doesn't and has never made men the prize, but by virtue of being a man, he is already the PRIZE. At the italicized, yes money is important. But saying a man can't achieve much without money is like saying a man is almost USELESS without money. I am not disputing the importance of money. Too much worshipping of money in this country is what is causing all this ... 2 Likes |

olioxx:Who told you I have no right to give my opinion on a topic that is public, and happens to be about men, huh? Who told you I'm broke? Do you know me? Are you one of those men that feels women have no right to have/give opinions, especially about men, but can discuss about women all they want, hmm? |
