8. Being on Nairaland bragging about being a billionaire, but struggling to maintain 10,000 NGN in one’s real life bank account: many Nairalanders are guilty of this. Those fond of calling people “broke” secretly have multiple accounts which they hope can ensnare others into falling for scams.

reasons to remain poor forever
1) Nigeria economy- I am sorry some people work very hard but the economy is just something else that frustrate dreams
2) Lack of electricity, high cost of electricity, bad road and bad networking
3) Bad belle people or village people or haters in general.
4) Addictions of any kind- it could be weed, alcohol, betting, sex, drugs, woman, music , television, soft drinks, food .
5) Scams or bad investments - A good business that went wrong either by trusting untrustworthy friends, brothers , sisters , parents and even children. There is no family or friends in business- Your drinking buddy is not your business partner Your best man does not make a good business partner.
6) Divorce or enduring a bad marriage- A bad husband or a bad wife that spends and spends will keep you poor or a husband or wife that does not invest you will keep you poor forever.
7) Debts and not paying your TITHE Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." Do not listen to Daddy Freeze or anyone telling you otherwise. If you do not trust your pastor, pray and ask God for guidance if you want to change church
cool Lack of prayer life- You have too much enemies or village people after you and you ignore to ask God to fight your battle
9) Know it all altitude- Someone has told you that your ways are not working but for some reason , you refuse to listen and ignore warnings.
10) Being too generous or being too stingy - you give till you have no more- As soon as you make money, the stories starts- It is ok to give money but give with sense. You refused to give or help when you have the chance.
11) Refusal to change environment- If Lagos is not working for you, what is wrong trying somewhere else.

Are you rich??
Re: 7 Attitudes That Will Keep You Poor Forever by Nobody: 8:42pm On Sep 24, 2020
binarymachine:
Not everyone will eventually become rich and everybody can not be a billionaire all at once. However, we can all have 3 square meal to eat, a decent house to live and good clothes to wear.

Sometimes it may be the economy, the government or simply a bad world etc. Poverty also is greatly dependent on our mentality, how we choose to think and the decisions we choose to make as an individual.

Below are seven attitudes that can ensure one stays poor forever even if you were born into all the money in the world.

1. Addictions(Gambling, Drugs, Alcohol): One of the surest ways to ensure you stay poor forever is to pick up an addiction in gambling, drugs and alcohol. They have a way of blocking proper cognitive thinking, preventing you from thinking straight therefore making bad decisions always. You make a little cash, you are under influence and impulse to spend it on them, they don’t only mess with your finances, they also make sure to mess your entire life up.

2. Pessimism And Negative Thoughts: You always have a bad feeling about everything, maybe it’s a past experience or you have stayed poor just long enough to keep telling yourself you can’t do it. You use the phrases “I can’t”, “it won’t work” , “I am tired” etc. For you, everything is self defeating, you assume negatively and keep wandering in the past. Keep going, abject poverty awaits you!

3. Inability To Save And Wrong Financial Choices: Any money you make, you spend. According to you, your income is too small to save, you are waiting until you get a raise and start earning big before you save. When you do eventually manage to save up, you spend all on your wants instead of needs. You engage in frivolity and acquire things to make you look sleek instead of investing to make more money. Continue, poverty is ahead!

4. Bad Friends And Bad Motivations: Keeping the wrong company doesn’t only just make you pick up bad attitudes, it also makes you waste useful time and you either get no motivation at all or you end up with the wrong ones. Instead of being at the right place and at the right time, doing something productive, you are at the wrong place, receiving the wrong advices and consequently making wrong decisions.

5. Giving Up Too Quickly: Becoming successful requires tenacity, doggednes, persistence, readiness to go the extra mile to achieve your dreams and the determination to follow through on a life changing decision. This is something most poor people lack and if you have an ambition to become poor, all you need do is lack them too.

6. Procrastination And Laziness: You are either too soft, too tired or too sad to do anything right now so you prefer to push it to a later time which will ensure you forget it or end up not doing it altogether. You do not want to do small jobs, dirty jobs or anything hard. You like the easy way out in everything and when it appears tough, you postpone it and take to your heels. You also enjoy sleeping a lot, infact if sleeping was a talent, you would be the world best. Keep it up, you are almost there!

7. No Concern For Health/ Lack of Birth Control: You don’t take your health seriously, always buying drugs from hawkers, delaying treatment even when symptoms are showing vividly, eating unhygienic food etc. Finally when you fall sick, you will have no choice but to spend all your money to save yourself, penny wise pound foolish! You say children comes from God, so you keep producing them like a biscuit factory, even when your income can barely take care of 4. In your mind you feel that giving birth to more children will increase the chance of one of them becoming rich. Continue, you will eventually end up poor and miserable with plenty of mouths to feed.

People who think sport gambling is bad should really ask about FOREX trading. FOREX is one of the worst destiny killers humanity has ever known but some people are still yet to realize that.

The first one is praying while you should be working. The main reason Africa is poor is that the inhabitants are more religious than the people who brought religion to them. Rather than look for how to solve a problem, they pray.

What do you expect from a region where religion is one of the sectors with the highest revenue. Which sector has the highest number of private jets?

Kazim88:


Girlfriend is detrimental only to the ignorant and sex minded fellow that only see women as sex source, So they either pay and keep paying with their money or their time for the sex that is insatiable.
This leads to poverty.

But the wise man harness the value in a woman, she produce for him... Build his business for him.... In the end. I rather employ a woman anytime, any day... Expecially for managerial position and sack her immediately she tries to seduce me
That's y I pluralized de galfriend. Or should I say womanizing.

Professorcplus:
I agreed with op 100 percent

Maybe you are rich. Maybe you are poor. Maybe you have experienced being both at some point in your life. If you haven’t figured it out yet, being rich isn’t all about money. It’s about well-being, abundance, having time, success, and the right mindset.

There are definitely social issues that contribute to poverty, however, rich vs poor mindsets can also drive wealth and success.

There are many poor people with a rich mindset, financially poor due to circumstance. And there are many trust fund babies with a poor mindset.

A simple shift in your mindset can point you in the right direction to becoming as wealthy as you want to be.

While Rich mindset knows that the world isn’t fair, and deals with reality swiftly, humbly, and practically. It knows the world owes it nothing, that the universe is indifferent to its existence, that the default for life is suffering and death. All successes are improbable and should be appreciated as such.

Poor mindset is consumed by the unfairness of the world, and wastes time complaining about it. It feels the world owes it something and waits for it to be handed out.

Reversal: If it doesn't apply to you skip it.

U can if u take this step.

1. Never ur bet9ja account to ur bank account.
2. If u want to stop an addiction never u stop at once, stop gradually until u will become uninterested.
3. Always play a running coupon , at least 2 weeks n make sure u don play it more than 200 naira.
4.if u are married let your wife know, she might use it against u during quarrel buh it doesn't matter.
5. Finally pray over it n stay focus. For me I can't stop it completely bcus dats wat keep me busy n I don't think much. I don't play to win as such, I play to past time
