No greater motivation than hunger: hunger for better life, hunger to growth, hunger for a good spouse, hunger for the spotlight... Erriga say 2 seconds them dey motivate us, but hunger can motivate u in a milliseconds.

It’s true. The fear of poverty is the biggest motivator to those who have already experienced it. A larger percentage of the world’s wealthiest people have their roots in poverty.

Brazil star Neymar has opened up on the struggles of his upbringing and revealed how a lack of cookies gave him motivation to become a rich and successful footballer.


The world record signing, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for £198million, was once in an environment where every penny counted and food was in scarce supply.

And in an open and honest interview with YouTube channel O Primo Rico, the PSG forward recounts one particular story about being owed cookies from his mother and how that fueled a fire inside him to become a rich and successful player.



He said: 'There's a story with my mum and I think most people know it. I really wanted to eat cookies but we didn't have any, so my mum said: "Son we don't have more money, there's no way. I'll owe you this week, maybe next week when dad gets his payment, we can buy it."'.

'At the same time I told her, "mum it's OK. One day I will be very rich. I'll buy a cookie factory so I can eat whenever I want."'

'My mum cries when she tells that story because it was really touching for her.'


Neymar quickly honed his skills and began to attract lots of attention as a teenager in his home country. It didn't take long before European scouts took an interest.

'I think it was by the time I was 14 or 15 years old that I realised I wouldn't lack anything anymore if I did things right, if I had my parents take care of everything.'

Look at him....Winning trophies and leaving a legacy in the game is what being successful means in football, not rolling around like a log of perfectly cut cylindrical wood.
Can someone please help me pass this priceless piece of info to Naymar.

Neymar's humble background and hunger motivated him to become one of the best and biggest names in football today. Romelu Lukaku battled hunger and racism and was inspired to become a success today via football. Lionel Messi battled human growth hormone issues, his family couldn't afford his medical bills. But he looked inwards, gave expression to his inner gift and stayed focused. Today, he has lifted his family. He redefined football and his name will never be forgotten. Cristiano rose from being just another poor Portuguese boy, honed his football skills and believed in himself. Today he's filthy-rich and a world-beater! African/Nigerian youth finishes from school, couldn't get a job, blames the government and moans all day. Next, he's/she's involved in internet scams, robbery, prostitution or does ogwu ego! Only God can fix the Nigerian/African youth's mindset.

Hustle right and legit. It will come one day. Just don't stop.

Tbh I'm not trying to promote any form of illegal hustle oh but In this country out of 100% people that come from poor backgrounds only 10% can say they made it legally
The system in this country is too bad asin it favors just the rich. Talents just like football and some other things can't flourish in this country

Even those in high places will rather give job opportunities to those they know there are plenty wrongs in this country may God help us all

Which is why I said don't stop. Even in western countries, some people engage in illegal means to make it but that doesn't stop the legit ones from making it.

It will be fine one day.

No wonder he is too full of himself.

The worst person to have a chance on fortune is that person that used to be a pauper.
