My good sir, I know that... But, that is not the crux of my submission... I could easily bring up examples of greater individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, but that's unnecessary, and you know it...

Every child will never have the opportunity to attend Ivy league institutions, except fortunate and brilliant enough to get scholarships... But, that doesn't mean they won't hit the same strides as the ones with such privileges.

Truth be told, the examples y'all keep giving are just few out of the number of privileged kids... How about many more that had the same opportunity, and still remained mediocre?...

Such schools are great, and provide financial exposure, but true genius for greatness is without borders...

Please, let's not over flog this matter... Every child deserves the best his parents can offer, but background should never be an excuse for failure in life... If it all came down to academic background and exposure, then aristocracy would have survived the 19th century.

Now I understand you well. You're right. Low-income people now have more opportunities than before to succeed. Thanks to the internet and other inventions that have bridged the knowledge and connections gap.

Angelfrost:
My good sir... You just erred greatly in your assumptions. First off, I schooled in a public school not because my parents couldn't afford private education... Secondly, I am extremely successful and wealthy for my age and time, which had nothing to do with my background. Infact, a lot of those kids from those posh schools are struggling today as adults, which greatly faults your "inter-connection" line of reasoning...

Now, let me drop some real education into you:...

1. Background (poor or wealthy) is nothing if one lacks the mentality and vision of greatness. Ask Bill Gates. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc... Please, stop miseducating young people.
2. Intelligence transcends formal education, hence, my initial point.
3. I agree with connecting with wealthy people to learn their secrets, but that is not limited to anyone's background... Truth be told, internet and social media have gone a long way in bridging that ancient divide. Please, keep with the times., except you are from the backward North.
4. Finally, there is no limitation in life whatsoever... The only limitation is YOU.

Please, read carefully... And let me know if you require further clarification. Thank you.

Bill Gates. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk all come from well to do backgrounds and attended good schools.

Bill Gates high school was one of the few schools in the world that could afford a computer in the 1970s.

In the Mark Zuckerberg speech he have at Harvard, he was thankful that his parents were well to do so he could drop out of Havard knowing he had options.

Elon Musk's family was one of the elite in South Africa.


The only billionaire that came from a poor background that I know of is Oprah Winfrey. Others had crazy opportunities that many didn't have.

Not making an excuse for anyone. Just pointing out facts.

greggng:
Why didn't they kill him instead?

Most countries have abolished the death sentence. They prefer to jail you for life instead. This is why many terrorists like Abdulmutallab are serving life imprisonment sentences.

holllandis:
Looks like this Ndidi guy is overhyped

Better than Kante they said

Buhari has no excuse this time.

Tekno comes to mind.

timesup234:
Young man if you are poor in Nigeria then you are the reason for your poverty. Every single Nigerian should be able to save 700k annually unless you choose to be blind. Only lazy folks think like you

700K a month? That's like 60k every month.

How is that possible when few Nigerians earn more than 100k a month?

Lots of hard working Nigerians can't afford half of that

Roland17:
For those who did not watch the game.

Colorado Rapids 0-3 Arsenal.

Those two Nigerian kids were solid in the game.

Bukayo Saka and James Olayinka

GISpro:
Don't let any hypocrite deceive you that economy of Nigeria is down and blah blah blah story...

If you have a dozen Corolla for sale today, by next Monday you would have sold it all. And economy is down. Where's money coming from?

Millions of iPhones and Samsung phones are imported weekly. And no money.

You as a scientist should know more than this. People are really suffering in this country.

It's the middle class that can afford these phones and cars.

What's the percentage of Nigerians in all 36 states that use a Samsung or iPhone?

Aren't the China phones/Nokia phones far more common?

Ever been to the North? Ever stayed among the illiterates?

Don't let Twitter/Nairaland/social media fool you? Most Nigerians are poorer than you think.

How many Nairalanders can afford a Keke Napep comfortably?

citruslimited:
There is money in this country

What is the percentage of Nigerians that can afford to watch a movie in the cinema?

Think relatively and not just in terms of the money generated alone.

N3.1 billion divided by 180 million Nigerians is low.

NewDelhi:
Who can help me with top notch movies and decent games and apps for my laptop in Lagos?

If you can't help me for free then state your price.

https://www.nairaland.com/1035742/garnet-pc-games-sale-cheapest

Large collection of PC games. Dope collection of 1080p and 4k movies.

NewDelhi:
Hi everyone,

I just replaced my lost laptops and need to stock it up with video games and top notch movies.

Location is Lagos..

https://www.nairaland.com/1035742/garnet-pc-games-sale-cheapest

Lots of PC games. 1080p and 4k movies available.

Yeah. Twitter app is down

I enjoyed your writeup Roland17.

Didn't quote it as it's long and it will muddle up the thread.

I thought it was my network.

N500,000 drones that can be bought on Jumia?

Not even the latest models?

These guys think we are all fools.

Ope O!

Good news for me as a Chelsea fan. Too many redundant players in Chelsea like Bakayoko and Drinkwater.

The power of the car engine will be low.

Great innovation all the same.

I'm a Christian but I'm disgusted with this post.

Beverlyjean:
That's y they say people like u are so shallow that u find it hard to task ur brain.. Do u know that it's not everyone on NL that's in Nigeria... So waking up early means the person is poor,or from a poor home?? Omg

That meobizy guy is retar.ded and has low self-esteem issues.

Always looking for the slightest excuse to call people poor.

He must have been a broke/jobless guy for a long time who came into some change.

Poverty really dealt with with him, so he thinks everyone is broke or people close to him are jealous of him.

akthedream2019:
STINKY THRASH.. MUST YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS SUSPECT EVERY MOVE THE HOUSEMATES MAKE ANFLD LINK IT TO SCRIPT FROM BIGGIE ?

ENOUGH OF ALL THESE SCRIPTED SCRIPTED RUBBISH TALK YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS WHIN EVERY SEASON.. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, GO WATCH SOMETHING ELSE AND STOP BORING US WITH THAT USELESS TALK.. DONT SPOIL THE FUN FOR US ABEGI.

THE MOST PAINFUL THING IS THAT YOU HYPOCRITE WONT STOP WATCHING.

Bro are you all right?

What's up with your keyboard stuck on CAPSLOCK?

Have you used your pills this month?

Were you dropped on the head when you were a child?

Or you're probably a 17 year old kid hiding behind internet anonymity.

Beorn:
You're probably the only person to have thought my moniker meant something.


Beorn is a fictional character created by J. R. R. Tolkien, and part of his Middle-earth legendarium. He appeared in The Hobbit as a " skin-changer," a man who could assume the form of a great black bear.

I love readers like you.

ayourbamie:
Where are the universities in Ghana that Nigerians run to?

Some of those universities are similar to advanced vocational centers.

Dope. Kudos to Bishop David Oyedepo. A fearless lion.

Doesn't mean we'll forget that Vision 2020 thing though

FactualSpeech:
I want to go to Yobe from Benin, how do you think I can transport

You can enter Kano straight from Benin. Then, you'll ask for the park in Kano where you'll find straight buses to Yobe.

Graduateacher:
I see so many rapists in this thread. Is it really true that majority of guys are rapists? because I can see more than 85% rapists here

Why trivialize the word "rapist' ? Why call anyone rapist for having his/her say.

Be mindful of your words.

Lol. So, God Almighty wanted her to feature in an immoral show like Big Brother.

Why do we like mentioning God in everything?

No more COZA news? Na so Big Brother Naija go kill this COZA issue?

IamD18:
Nigerian NEPA will do the expected in that house one day.
