@Nwando__ Clearly, this person hasn’t experienced the grief and burden of losing loved ones, especially parents.
This is so wrong. How do you place your perceived importance over someone grieving and in a dark place?

I just got off the phone with my millionaire friend...
…and the moment I got off the call, I pulled up my laptop to type this.
I’m going to try as much as possible to put everything down the way he said
them.
EVERYTHING.
So the phone rings…I pick it up, it’s his number on the screen. This is actually
the first time he is calling. So I take the call and he is already talking:
‘’I read your post on Facebook. The one about our conversation yesterday’’.
I waited, trying to read the tone of his voice.
I was unsure whether he approved of me sharing our conversation in public. At first I felt it didn’t matter, but right
now I was unsure.
‘’I want you to share something else’’. He said.
I subconsciously relaxed a bit. His tone seemed alright. He didn’t seem angry at all.
‘’Are you with a pen and paper there’’.
I quickly grabbed a pen and a paper. ‘’Yes sir’’.
‘’Good’’. He said. ‘’Now write this. Conventional wisdom isn’t always right’’
‘’What?’’
‘’Conventional wisdom isn’t always right’’ He repeated. ‘’Now close your eyes’’.
Huh?
‘’Have you’’.
I slowly closed my eyes. ‘’Yes sir’’.
‘’How much do you see yourself making this year’’. He asked. ‘’Do you see yourself making 800 Million naira?’’
I opened my eyes. The sum sounded outrageous. 100 million naira. What.
He laughed, almost like he could see my reaction.
‘’That amount isn’t even up to a million dollars. But you can’t see it’’
Now write this; ‘’People will always be wise over the things they see’’. I scribbled that on the paper. He continued quickly. ‘’If they don’t see it, then their opinions are usually not wise’’
I didn’t get that.
He followed up quickly.
‘’What do you think. Is 1 million naira too much for a year’s rent?’’
I thought about it. ‘’Yes’’. I replied.‘’No, it is not too much. You only say that because you don’t make 100 million
naira a year’’. He said.
‘’But sir, I can’t live above my means. I have no problem staying in a house like
that but I have to live within my means’’. I said.
He laughed. ‘’That is the problem. That sentence right there. I wanted you to say it. Living within your means. That right there is the conventional wisdom I’m talking about. It sounds wise but it is stupid’’
I heard a smack from the other end of the phone. He had probably banged on
the table as he said that.
‘’Now think about it’’ he went on excitedly. ‘’When you say I’m living within my means, what you are actually saying is I can’t make more than enough in a year to pay a couple million naira rent’’.
He paused.
‘’Don’t you see it, you are not living within your means. You just created a little container and you put yourself inside. A year has 12 months. To hit a million naira all you need to do is simply sell 100 units of a 10, 000 naira a piece stuff’’.
‘’…Just 100 units’’ he said. ‘’Sell 100 pieces of perfumes for 10, 000 naira each and you have a million naira. But you just said now that you won’t be able to make that number many times over IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS….you just put yourself in a box…
….When you can make that amount pushing a huge volume of products in just a single month. But with just one sentence you just put yourself in a container’’
He paused again…as if to let that sink in, then he continued.
‘’Most times when people say they are living within their means, they are
actually living within their reality. 1 million naira is less than 3000 dollars. You shouldn’t make that number your means, you should ask yourself this
question…’
’‘’….are you writing this down’’. He asked.
I reached for the paper again. ‘’Yes’’.
‘’Write, How can I legally make as much money as I can fast, and keep doubling
it as fast as I can without breaking the law or getting into a get rich quick
scheme. No, don’t give yourself a target. There is actually no limit to how much you can make’’
‘’…Did you get all that?’’ he asked. ‘’Don’t say anything. Just think about this –deeply. Don’t put yourself within a number
