People that have not touched real money usually feel that money is the greatest support you can give someone.
I honestly don't blame them, i used to think the same thing too.
...but if you take N100M and hand it to someone who doesn't know how to make money; they will likely blow it.
The ones that have small sense will try to invest it into nonsense that locks the money off and produces zero cashflow.
This is why rich people laugh at you in secret when you give them advice on how to manage their money and invest it, because honestly - if it was that easy you'd have made it yourself.
Every season, we go round and land on this topic.
In your tweets, you made a couple of claims:
1. That the fraud industry is built on mentorship, and that they camp them in small groups to teach them how to make money. And then you compared it to tech by saying tech is not growing because we don't do the same.
2. You also mentioned that "people in tech just hoarding all their knowledge."
I'm not making this tweet to argue, but to teach and have a conversation.
1. The fraud industry is not built on mentorship, it's built on slavery and exploitation, people who camp kids and young boys ( 10 - 20 people ) in a house to train them are not doing that because they want to pass on knowledge, but because they want to expand their fraud schemes. Misery loves company. When the authorities come knocking, they don't see the HK boss ( they're mostly living in Turkey), they mostly arrest and send the workers to jail. People get abused, exploited, and used in hope that they'll be able to hammer too one day. And when it doesn't come fast enough, they result to human/drug trafficking.
Tech like other career path is not a get rich scheme, same way lawyers, carpenters, bricklayers, etc are a career path. Not once have we complained that electricians don't pack 20 boys to start teaching them, or that other careers don't do this. We focus on tech because we think once you have a laptop, that's all that's needed. We're not seeing the dedication and willingness to work. You're not seeing that none of the people doing fraud are ready to learn a skill for 6 months only to start with a 200k salary at their first internship. They'd tell you they can make that 200k in one night with gift card scamming.
You're also forgetting that tech is not the opposite of fraud, a legal career path is.
2. The part about people in tech hoarding their knowledge is really really funny too. Everyone, including you, shares free public mentorship. Creating a dedicated learning flow for each person requires you to do that as a full time job. Almost everything you want to learn on earth can be learnt on YouTube, but there's a reason why people still go to University, and other learning institute. It's for the structure and process. You really would not expect everyone to start teaching for FREE would you. This also shows that you've not explored trying a FREE structured training and see what the completion rate will be. 1000 people will sign up and 34 will finish. No structured training is free, either someone else ( or an organisation) paid for it in cash, or someone is paying for it with their personal time and resources.
The first step to growing is being realistic with ourselves. Tech is not the opposite to FRAUD, and there's a big difference between writing a thread on how to build something and gathering 200 people to train them on how to build something.
Once you start making more money in this country, one of the very important things you should invest in is a lifestyle that allows you to think more clearly.
wdym you bought airpods 300k? i understand say you guide and you’re looking out for quality but what the fvck! d’you mean you bought airpods 300k broo???????
Humans are fickle. They move on quick, even the ones you called ride or die.
So take care of yourself first. Your health, your peace, your mind. That’s the one investment that never leaves. That’s all you really have.
No matter what we say or do about the current exchange rate stability, as long as naira inflation remains at 16-18%, that gravity is gonna hit eventually.
We need to get inflation down to single digits. Everything should be thrown at this.
