Poverty they say, is the greatest malady that can befall a man. The poor are capable of unlimited evil. Gift to a man who have poor vision and lack of financial resources a paltry sum of twenty thousand naira to commit any crime against humanity, he will gladly accept such offers in order to keep body and soul together. Poverty is essentially caused due to lack of vision and inability to manage what ever at the custody for a better future. Believe it or leave it, it is unarguably correct that the poor consumes more food unwisely than some of the richest men in our society. My dear, one faithful day, my friends and I decided to visit one of the local food vendor here in Lekki Lagos state after having a break from my movie location! dear friends, come and see what this poor man has placed as an orde for his food consumption ! He arrogantly ordered the lady selling the food, to get him rice,beans, plantain, roundabout, cow beef, pomo, and one bottle of big coke. To my greatest amazement, within the period of 2 minutes, this man had emptied the plate of food and requested for an extra food. By the time he has finished eating his public meal, he gently asked for his bills. Dear friends, his bills summed up to 1,500 naira.he began to shout!madam u want to do me wayo abi? When did I eat up to 1,500 naira meal just now? Madam this is the only money I made this morning which presumably is my daily pay for my job and I intend to spend just five hundred naira and go home with one thousand naira to feed my family! He asked the madam to break down his meal request one after the other claiming to be completely confused. Dear friends, when the madam finally broke down his meal bills Evey thing summed up to 1,650 Naira which was different from her initial calculations. Come and see this said man shouting! Finally he reluctantly paid his bills and left home with nothing incurring more debt to him self. At that point in time, so many things began to dribble on my mind.asking my self several unanswered questions! I now came to a definitive conclusion that poverty is nothing but ignorance and lack of vision. A man with visions spends wisely, a man with visions consumes his food moderately for another day, a man with visions make savings to enable him get to his dreams destination, a man with visions, suffers his present to get a better future, A man with visions thinks before he acts. The rich are not rich because they are destined to be rich! But The rich are smart workers not hard workers, the rich are sacrificial givers, the rich are consistent in what ever they do, the rich saves for the raining day, the rich are focused to what ever they believed in, the rich get themselves associated with their class for more business knowledge and ideas. A certain author once said"is better to be in the midst of the giant when u are a dwarf, rather than been a giant in the midst of a dwarf. What this means is that, when u found ur self been a giant in the midst of a dwarf, they will surely drag u to their level of poverty, poor reasoning, poor knowledge etc. But when u are a dwarf in the midst of a giant, they will surely drag u up to their level of giant. How do we reduce poverty in our society to the bearest minimum ? Poverty is never a dead sentence, but a common mistakes made through poor decisions that can be corrected if the mindset is trained to function effectively in doing what is right for the attainment of personal growth and development for the societal benefits. The rich ones in the society are human just like the poor ones! They did not have extra 46 chromosomes just to make them became superhuman for success., they are successful because they planned their lives to the destination u see them enjoying today. They denied themselves many unwanted and distracted pleasures that can endanger their movement to the greater heights. Dear friends, don't be afraid of failure to do what ever u believed in, failure is not a yardstick for poverty,but lack of doggedness, lack of consistency, lack of courage, and lack of friends with good visiion who pursues their visions effortlessly, is the only causes of ur poverty. A wise man turns a forest into a beautiful city, while a fool turns a beautiful city into a forest. Dear friends, no success without failure. Failure is just an edge to correct the lapeses of the past for a better future. The poor has to reconfigure their mindset that not all rich ones in the society are either a criminal, 419,prostitutes,rictualist,and drug dealers. Look let me tell u, some riches are never a component of the above enumerated. Some riches are acquired through proper planning hard work,and smart thinking. A creative mind, is an employer of labour. A dump mind, is a job seeker. Stop waiting for govt at any level to provide u a job. Instead provide ur government and her nation a job through ur intellect and creativity. Ask questions where necessary to assist u achieving ur goals. Don't be shy to approach those in the society who are made in their professions. Learn
how to save for ur visions. Start up from where there is sure possibilities. Disassociate ur self from every unproductive friends.think big, work big, and become big. The ability to become poor or rich, rest upon our human decisions.man is the architect of his own misfortunes. Don't blame any body for ur misfortunes. Failure to me is an eye opener to greater opportunities and progress.
Re-engineer ur effort for success and the sky will be ur limit.
Every individual is an embodiment of purpose and God, s fulfilment. Be wise.
