Is Money Really the Root of All Evil? Debunking the Myth Keeping You Broke

Image
Key Takeaways: The phrase “money is the root of all evil” misquotes “the love of money” (1 Timothy 6:10), wrongly demonizing wealth. Negative money beliefs stifle financial growth and opportunity. Wealth is neutral; your character shapes its impact. Financial literacy and mindset shifts are critical for prosperity. Practical steps can break the cycle of limiting beliefs.      You were taught that money corrupts, but have you noticed poverty traps too? Your grandparents toiled tirelessly yet stayed poor, clinging to the belief that wealth is evil. What if this mindset, reinforced by movies, culture, and social media, is silently keeping you broke?

The Real Power of Networking in Nigeria: Not All Connections Are Equal

Image
           In Nigeria, networking or “ connection ” is everything. From landing a job, securing a government contract, getting out of police trouble, or getting into university—you often hear people say, “ I get person for there. ” Networking is deeply woven into the culture. But here’s what many Nigerians don’t realize: not all connections are created equal. There are high-quality connections—built on skill, mutual value, goal alignment, and purpose—and there are low-quality connections, often rooted in sentiment, proximity, familiarity, or survival. Understanding the difference is the first step in building a network that actually adds value to your life , takes you to the next level and brings success. 1. High-Quality Networks: Skill + Value + Shared Vision        These are intentional relationships, not just acquaintances or people you know. In Nigeria, the misconception is that “ having a rich uncle ” or “ k...

The Reason Many People Keep Failing: Because They Expect Perfection

Image
Key Takeaways Perfectionism is a cultural trap, not a sign of high standards. Fear of failure is deeply embedded in homes, schools, and society.** Mistakes are punished, not embraced as learning or feedback—so people stop trying. Growth begins when you separate your worth from your outcomes. To win, fail forward—consistently, intentionally, and without shame.        You weren’t raised to grow—you were raised to impress. From your first red-ink correction in primary school or kindergarten, the message was clear: mistakes are shameful.   Success must be flawless. Effort means nothing if it’s not perfect. So you grew up terrified of trying unless you're guaranteed to win. You don’t experiment. You don’t stretch. You don’t launch. Because what if you flop? But what if the real trap isn’t failure—it’s the fear keeping you stuck? Perfectionism isn’t ambition—it’s a cage built by culture, family, and fear.  In Nigeria and many developing nations, the ...

Does Traditional Education Prepare You for a World That No Longer Exists?

Image
Key Takeaways Traditional education prioritizes outdated skills over real-world relevance. Degrees alone don’t guarantee jobs or financial stability in today’s economy. Digital literacy, problem-solving, and adaptability are now critical for success. Self-education and practical experience bridge the gap left by schools. Waiting for the system to change keeps you stuck—start learning what matters now.         You spent years memorizing answers for questions no one is asking. You learned to please teachers, not clients or employers.  Your textbooks still describe a world that ended decades ago. So ask yourself: Are you getting an education, or are you being quietly prepared to fail?  In many countries, millions graduate with degrees only to face unemployment lines. Globally, automation and AI are reshaping jobs faster than schools can keep up.  The system isn’t broken—it’s obsolete. Yet you’re still chasing certificates, hoping they’ll save...
