The concept of money is quite easy and my dad broke it down for us easily.
To make money, you have to sell a product or a skill.
To lose money, you have to purchase a product or a service.
To multiply money, you have to invest.
If you do not purchase, money will not leave.
If you do not have a product or service to sell, money will not enter.
If you do not invest wisely, money will not multiply.
If your purchases are higher than your income, you go broke.
If you delay gratification, the money stays longer.
If you delay gratification but do not invest "WISELY", especially in a country like Nigeria, the money stays longer but risk losing value over time.
This is basically the summary of every finance book ever written.
Location really matters in destiny.
If you're based in Kogi, Ekiti, Kwara, Bayelsa or Uyo, my brother, you are very far from a successful destiny.
Forget statistics quoted by that Twitter page. Seeing is believing. If you like be swallowing figures. Better travel.
I tell this to anyone who asks me for advise.
Leave Nigeria is you can, just leave!. The quality of life which was one of my reasons to drop out and run isn’t meant for humans.
Imagine you have a health emergency and no single emergency vehicle to come to you…yet they spent billions on campaign buses.
Then there are the „if you have money you will enjoy Nigeria“ crew.🤨😂

I keep coming back to this line from The Psychology of Money:
"The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays."
"It doesn't matter how many years you lost....Save the rest of your life."
No regrets about the past, and time to look ahead.
Make the rest of your life what you want.
Find audacity. There is nothing that will help you more in this life than audacity. Find it. Let it push you to silence the noise, go back to school, leave the country, start a business, take risks, and fight for your life.
Be Aggressive about your life.
It is the only way to get what you want from it...
Nothing comes from the gentle hoping, half-given effort, or the daydreaming of most.
You have to know who you are...
What you want, pursue & reject
Be Aggressive about your life.
