Give ONE, just ONE example of someone born lazy and dumb in a slum in a a poor country who won $1m lottery. Search with Google and everything, YOU CAN'T. And even if hypothetically they did win, the dumb and lazy aspect will guarantee they'd lose it in no time.

There's lots of people who won, and I'm quite sure you Googled it. Winning lotteries is absolute luck, with the odds in the tens and hundreds of millions.


Whether they lose it is another matter, that's not what we're talking about.

The fact is, there's no formula for success; billions of smart people work hard everyday, but only a very small percentage will succeed.

And if you're hitching your own wealth aspirations on such nonsensical books that tell you how to become rich, then you're dumber than a pile of rocks: the authors use your gullibility to make their own money.

Keep buying those books!

u called it luck while i will call it grace

Grace assumes a mythical benefactor.

Luck is chance without cosmic stimulus.

PrincessGlow:
I don't know how you don't find this rather obvious: if you are born lazy and dumb in a slum in a a poor country (non of which is your fault) no amount of luck will make you rich.

Many lazy, poor, dumb people born in slums have won multimillion dollar lotteries.

And lotteries are pure luck.

PrincessGlow:
Luck, only if you count where u were born and the kind of brain and personality you were given as parts of.luck

Brain's got nothing to do with it, as some of the smartest people are not among the richest.

Personality is too abstract, some of the richest men have shitty personality (eg Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos) while some are cool (Gates, Buffet).

You can't pin success down to any known factor beyond luck. If there was a formula to success you think billionaires and millionaires would be exclusive?

Bill Hwang lost about 10 trillion naira in 48 hours. Was he dumb, or unlucky? If he's dumb then how come he became a billionaire? If he's smart how come he lost it all in less than 10 days?

HRSweetness:
It's amazing how you are actually able to deduce what bullshit is, going by your post

I just needed to regard you.

dakmanzero:
U just killed yourself with your own argument my friend.

The 360's lineup, both released and UNRELEASED, kills the ps3 DEAD.

There are only THREE standout ps3-only titles on the horizon left. Almost all the others have jumped ship.

GTA4- coming to 360 same day including enhancements.
devil may cry 4 - coming to 360 FIRST
Assasins creed- no longer ps3 exclusive
Virtua fighter 5- no longer ps3 exclusive
soulcalibur 4 - no longer ps3 exclusive

the list just goes on. The ps3 now has only a few games that arent already on 360, and the games it shares with 360 look better on Xbox.


here are the 3 games:

1) Killzone: This one should be taken with a pinch of salt. killzone 1 was supposed to be the ps2's halo-killer but was a huge flop. Killzone 2 has already been confirmed to look NOTHING like the trailer that sony fooled all u people with.

2) MGS4- the big hope for PS3. If this game fails, ps3 is dead

3) Final fantasy 13: Since all the big names in charge of FF have abandoned sony to go and work for microsoft (under the new name mistwalker), this game is shaping up to be a gigantic failure. Any real RPG fan knows that FF12 is really vagrant story 2 with a new name. They cant pull that trick twice.


If you want to talk about games, the 360 kills the PS3 DEAD.

Uncharted and Last of Us beg to differ.

Decades later you're as wrong as you were on the first day.

dakmanzero:
Good question!

In fact nowadays with the ps3 being so soundly beaten, I am tempted to switch sides.

Why? because we all knew sony would screw up, but I had no idea they would fail so utterly horribly and miserably. If the ps3 does not succeed at least a little bit, there will be no competition for xbox360. And we know how lazy microsoft gets with no competition.

If Sony dies and Nintendos current rollercoaster success implodes under the weight of a thousand casual game ripoffs, MS will be left in total dominance of gaming with no antitrust laws! NIGHTMARE SCENARIO!!!!  


In a way sony caused this by hyping the ps3 and telling so many lies. I wonder where neoteny and the other ps3 fanboys are now, when our technical arguments have finally yielded fruit- all that cell/RSX jargin was complete NONSENSE and the 360 is just as powerful if not more than, the ps3. And 200dollars cheaper.

Neoteny here.

You were saying?

Bullshit

If this nonsense were real the author would be among the billionaires they mentioned

Success is 99% pure luck

Sorry, you're eclipsed by bobrisky's shadow.

Upon 3.5 Million Retweets and Thousands of Nairaland Likes And Shares??

When we advise these miscreants that decision, elections and opinions in Nigeria are not measured by the number of Retweets or Nairaland hate-filled likes and shares, they call us Zombies..

It is not enough to go on Twitter and Nairaland and be, shouting Tinubu cannot be President, then your fellow angry Never-Do-Wells, would support you with retweets and likes, and you would think your opinion matters or you succeeded in changing people minds... You be mumu...

If APC chooses Tinubu Today, he is already your President...The only thing you can do is to join ESN, Igboho or Boko Haram as recruits... Nigeria will still prevail...

May God Bless Tinubu My Mentor..

May God Bless Buhari, My Daddy...

Long live the Federal Republic Of Nigeria..

Amen

CAUCASIAN SHEPHERD

The Caucasian shepherd is a large dog. The preferred height at the withers is in the range 67–70 cm for females, and 72–75 cm for males. The minimum heights and weights for registration are 64 cm and 40 kg for females, and 68 cm and 50 kg for males.

I own one who's 98% this breed.

mosdii:
Nigerian Girls Are Useless...All Of Them

Agreed.

Well who doesn’t like him ??
He is good looking and has money with a nice ride

How shallow thou and thine kind think.

Is this what relationships are reduced to?

Pity.

Righteousness2:
Signs in the Heavens all over the world as JESUS said it will be.
Folks! Be Rapture ready!
JESUS is Coming ! And only those who are watching and Ready will be taken.

Eclipses are nothing new, been happening since the beginning.

You people see signs in everything to justify your panicky beliefs.

Am currently using an itel smartphone. They have the best user friendly interface and large memory and storage capacity

Wait. You're serious?

Rossy12:
When I see d MR right

There's no such thing.

There's only Mr. Not-so-right and Mr. OK.

See lies.

The screen
The SoC
The battery
The modem
The antenna
The SIM reader
The cameras

None of those was made in Nigeria.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
My own issue with Pastors & to a lesser extent Alfas :

They would prescribe anointing oil, holy water and miracles but they know the way to hospitals.

NONE of these "Men of God" saw an epidemic on the scale of COVID-19.

In fact late TB Joshua predicted the pandemic would end in 4 months.

He also "saw" Hilary Clinton as US President and didn't see the collapse of his own church building.

If you still pay tithe.... I encourage you to continue. I would soon be a Pastor myself.

Adeboye, who once had tea with god, never had premonition of his son's death.

fernandez1:
Omg 99 is so fucki*g much.... their blood will surely ask each and everyone of them

Did you read upside down, or you didn't bother reading at all?

Lemme help you then.

Of 99 bodies brought in from various locations, only 3 were said to be from around Lekki.

Of the 3 bodies from the Lekki area, only 1 died from gunshot.

So, only 3 bodies, one of which died from bullets.

Just 1.

Bet he didn't see that coming.

Anyway, one of his conmen pastors should Lazarus him back to life.

American hypocrisy.

Twitter and Facebook banned Trump.

America also banned Huawei.

Northerners don't use palm oil.

It's yorubas who swim in it.

Christistruth00:
The ones protesting against IPOB are smart

Kinda true tho

peacekante:
I thought you are smart and intelligent. You didn't see where they said "say no to the killings of police men"?

There's no such thing as a smart igboe. It's a hive system, they think and act alike.

gidgiddy:
The protest is against your security forces that are busy killing unarmed civilians

This got nothing to do with IPOB, they dont touch civilians

You were saying?

CatANDratTHEORY:
Ezeife is right and also wrong.
Let me explain, Ezeife cannot swear that IPOB/ESN have not carried out any attack on anybody (security operatives inclusive) in Igbo land. In this vein he is completely wrong.

He is right in the sense that he believes the certain people in high places are sponsoring these killings to the give the SE a bad name: a case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.
They will hinge their argument on the fact that there are unrests in the SE to send down troops there, we all can imagine how it will play out...what's happening in Imo is just the tip of an iceberg. The security agents will hinge on this and embark on a killing spree, arresting, maiming, torturing and detaining unarmed young men because we all know that they can't confront their matched counterpart ESN.

No one needs to give the East a bad name to hang it, it's an odious enough place already filled to the brim with all sorts of criminals, gunmen, touts, louts, thieves, burglars, robbers, kidnappers, assassins, drug barons, prostitutes, fake goods merchants, smugglers, forgers, scammers....if you can imagine it, it's in the East.

Ihatemen:
I hate men

I wonder what your father thinks about your hatred for him.

mike8804:
Fulani have always been bandits since their existence, giving them money is to encourage them. Killing them is the only solution!

Funny, it's the fulanis doing all the killings while you and your type can only yap online.

Joromi1:
Mr President, while I don't support IPOB, please don't forget to teach your Boko Haram and killer herdsmen brothers the same lesson. Otherwise, that would make you an hypocrite.

Amen

GreenArrow1:
It is o. It is gaining traction day by day. The next thing is for the brave Biafran forces to blow up Niger bridge and then Buhari will stop getting food in Aso Rock. Just watch.

Lols

Your sarcasm is unmatched
