      "body": "Let me guess, you’re wondering why in heaven’s name I would choose such a title for this piece. Simple---------Every ounce of my physical and mental sweat is pure blood to me and the ritual is my secret that keeps me going every time I am in Gethsemane.\nMany a times we want to become huge financial lord either a millionaire or the series of naire but I have come to discover in my quest to study the world most rich and successful men, those in the lower class always has the wrong notion of WEALTH CONSERVATION AND MAXIMISATION.\nWhen American was a young country, they discover that hoarding the gold and precious stones won’t make them a successful nation rather they should invest it in humans------SLAVERY, just like Egypt the slaves built America and Centuries after the abolishment of slavery the principle is still on. You are promised financial security and for thirty or so productive years of your life you work teeth and nails to make the rich richer, they keep discouraging you to dare to dream with their large bonuses and the trick of making you believe it’s not as easy as you think and I ask HOW DIFFICULT CAN IT GET. The likes of Rockefellers, Rotchild and the other three banking families of America knew this so they came up with the banks making the average Americans live in chains of debt and loans. They cajole the average American to take more loan facilities than they can afford via advertisement and when in the longrun they can’t pay up the banks come for their hard earned properties. When in this fix they were advised to take another facility to clear the old loan putting them back in the same swamp they just crawled out from not forgetting the out of the world interest rate. Is this not exactly what we still have in this current time lag? When I realised the rat race may never end I have decided to take the hard route to wealth----looking inward\nI grew up with my dad expecting at the end of the month a salary that may never come and sometimes resort to loan and at that tender age I decided the SALARY life is not my thing--------I meant it for real. I am not against working for pay but I want you to forecast all you may earn in your active years and you will see one young boy earn it in one hour-------it seem unbelievable we term to allege they have engaged in BLOOD MONEY. The route to wealth in this generation has become more of what can you offer than how well you can work. So don’t use the old mentality of you must get a job before you’d be successful. Quit that mediocre life and search what is on your inside-----what’s your relevance in the scheme of things even GOD asked Moses what was in his hand, same question is now posed to you.\nWe are so scared in this generation that we don’t want to be poor for a short a while for the greater good. I wonder why then do we read about the feat of the Bill gates, Zuckerbergs and the Steve jobs of this life and how they chose to give up on the system of their time to create their own system. Choosing this part will never be easy because family and loved ones may think you don’t take the world seriously, probably the money spent on your education was a waste. In the normal scheme of things you are to get a job and probably get married and putting your children through the same hell you went through not having the basic things of life. AS FOR ME MYSELF AND I------WE VEHEMENTLY REFUSE. Salary earners wake up early to get to work while those who pay them sleep during the day because they stay awake through the night because it is in those dark and quiet hours that the greatest innovation and ideas are born. We have become less and less creative because of the boring activities are mind are force to adjust to during the day-------now you can’t even dream.\n\nI have chosen this path, you are free to call me weird, but I am on the path that great men before me took-----I will bear the brunt, the insult, hate and the look of disappointment at the moment but I refuse to be a SLAVE. When I hit my EBENEZER of water all my wrong will be forgotten in seconds.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdutJEmEvKb9wZjrns2rfidx6T8MCLzTUKgShKrsTdX26/image.png)",

      "body": "Let me guess, you’re wondering why in heaven’s name I would choose such a title for this piece. Simple---------Every ounce of my physical and mental sweat is pure blood to me and the ritual is my secret that keeps me going every time I am in Gethsemane.\nMany a times we want to become huge financial lord either a millionaire or the series of naire but I have come to discover in my quest to study the world most rich and successful men, those in the lower class always has the wrong notion of WEALTH CONSERVATION AND MAXIMISATION.\nWhen American was a young country, they discover that hoarding the gold and precious stones won’t make them a successful nation rather they should invest it in humans------SLAVERY, just like Egypt the slaves built America and Centuries after the abolishment of slavery the principle is still on. You are promised financial security and for thirty or so productive years of your life you work teeth and nails to make the rich richer, they keep discouraging you to dare to dream with their large bonuses and the trick of making you believe it’s not as easy as you think and I ask HOW DIFFICULT CAN IT GET. The likes of Rockefellers, Rotchild and the other three banking families of America knew this so they came up with the banks making the average Americans live in chains of debt and loans. They cajole the average American to take more loan facilities than they can afford via advertisement and when in the longrun they can’t pay up the banks come for their hard earned properties. When in this fix they were advised to take another facility to clear the old loan putting them back in the same swamp they just crawled out from not forgetting the out of the world interest rate. Is this not exactly what we still have in this current time lag? When I realised the rat race may never end I have decided to take the hard route to wealth----looking inward\nI grew up with my dad expecting at the end of the month a salary that may never come and sometimes resort to loan and at that tender age I decided the SALARY life is not my thing--------I meant it for real. I am not against working for pay but I want you to forecast all you may earn in your active years and you will see one young boy earn it in one hour-------it seem unbelievable we term to allege they have engaged in BLOOD MONEY. The route to wealth in this generation has become more of what can you offer than how well you can work. So don’t use the old mentality of you must get a job before you’d be successful. Quit that mediocre life and search what is on your inside-----what’s your relevance in the scheme of things even GOD asked Moses what was in his hand, same question is now posed to you.\nWe are so scared in this generation that we don’t want to be poor for a short a while for the greater good. I wonder why then do we read about the feat of the Bill gates, Zuckerbergs and the Steve jobs of this life and how they chose to give up on the system of their time to create their own system. Choosing this part will never be easy because family and loved ones may think you don’t take the world seriously, probably the money spent on your education was a waste. In the normal scheme of things you are to get a job and probably get married and putting your children through the same hell you went through not having the basic things of life. AS FOR ME MYSELF AND I------WE VEHEMENTLY REFUSE. Salary earners wake up early to get to work while those who pay them sleep during the day because they stay awake through the night because it is in those dark and quiet hours that the greatest innovation and ideas are born. We have become less and less creative because of the boring activities are mind are force to adjust to during the day-------now you can’t even dream.\n\nI have chosen this path, you are free to call me weird, but I am on the path that great men before me took-----I will bear the brunt, the insult, hate and the look of disappointment at the moment but I refuse to be a SLAVE. When I hit my EBENEZER of water all my wrong will be forgotten in seconds.![download.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWSWSm5wjL6uBc95oTwzFApoQ5tkRCvLomF2PV9hJwscU/download.jpg)",

      "body": "The Nigerian  state and her public opinion drive or her bid to create a personae that truly represent the giant of Africa and to a very large extent the glory days, but one begs to wonder has there ever been a glory days?\nI beg to ask this question because it is the so-called decision that was made in the 50’s that greatly influenced the events of the 70’s and how Nigerians of the time saw themselves. Also, the events of the 70’s went a long way influencing our current existence as Nigerians---from the 90’s to this current dispensation politically and economically as a nation.\nThere is a very bad precedence that has been set for us by some of our so-called  celebrated heroes because  we can’t be living a legacy  that  wasn’t handed  to us. Corruption has been defined by various scholars, ideological facet, and sentiments but I dare to say that the very fabric of the Nigerian society is a breeding ground for corruption, our pre-colonial understanding of leadership is by far very different from what the colonialist introduce to us.\nThe reason why corruption may linger for a while can be traced to the short cut mentality that an average Nigerian has developed over time as a means to surviving in the so-called harsh environment that same Nigerians create for themselves. The most disturbing and anomalia of this situation is that an average Nigerian don’t see anything wrong with the situation when they are in the benefitting end but cry foul if the odds  turn, for the people of faith they see it as favour and grace or  sheer smartness for those who are of no faith.\nThe fact that I have not mentioned the government would to some school of thought be an incomplete or partial position, but in retrospect we all know that if those outside the curtain of power  can get their act right  only then than can they point accusing fingers to the government demanding their right. One thing that needs to be of note is that no government is corrupt only citizens are corrupt (citizens who control and citizens who are controlled). The so-called ordinary Nigerian are more corrupt than even some of the government official, some of the government official are even more principled, honest and devoted than they are given more credit to. There are politicians or government officials who are sometimes bullied for not living large or extending the proverbial long hand, they (Ordinary Nigerians) are in a way pulling the hands of these politician to steal from government coffers to live an extravagant life. This is a mindset of Africans; a leader is supposed to be affluent and extravagant, which does not agree with the tenet of modern day democracy.\nCorruption in Africa especially in Nigeria is ‘corruption’ if it is in their favour and that is why every form of fight against corruption is seen either as false, worthless or hypocritical. Who are we then to blame-----I don’t want to totally dwell on the idea of blaming the government because they have in a way tried their best.\nLooking at the electioneering process of the Nigerian state you will see that it is greatly flawed not because the institution do not have all the legal parameters in place, but the Nigerian factor always steps in,  you see individuals manning the prestigious positions of conducting the election failing the integrity test. The citizens also piteously and selfishly compromising for paltry sum of money given them by politicians who know that their constituent prefer ‘the eat today and forget tomorrow lifestyle’ then capitalize on the greed and corrupt tendencies of their people to create chaos and live in grandeur of the loot. Who will have the moral justification to question when they also have a skeleton of corruption and greed in their closet. The Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) that is mounted with the responsibility of conducting Nigeria’s election is designed to be independent but the Nigerian nature we are talking about will always jeopardize the situation else why would an Academic in the professorial level put his/her integrity to question when given the authority of monitoring the election in Nigeria, stooping so low to collecting bribe that may never make them among the richest in the country. You beg to wonder why all these, also not easily forgetting the inhuman treatment that was meted on Corp members by constituent because of the tribalistic and religious sentiment they posit as their right as a people, which we all know is morally flawed if the country must move forward.\nIn a bid to try to highlight the issue of election you will think it is the worse but try the public and civil service. So many Nigerian or non-Nigerians would agree with me that the middle level of the government’s public and civil service is a pond breeding diverse forms of corruption. You get to experience various form of compromise and breach of ethics and you beg to wonder, is there a code of conduct of the service. Yes! The headquarters in Abuja may be following the code because all eyes are on them but that can’t be said for the state and local level of the public/civil service. Public and Civil servant use every means to extort money from citizens either by literally begging or by forcing those in need of the service to pay, blackmailing them with the same service that is supposed to be free, and a constitutional right. This sector of the government is filled with Nigerians who are living and breathing corruption, bigotry, and unprofessionalism. Some school of thought would disagree with the centralistic approach of this piece but it is important that I mention it unapologetically. Nigerians have become so corrupt that some degree of corruption is no longer seen as corruption-------and the syndrome which I call the Hypocritical Justification still push us to always keep denying what is truth and this has been the norm since Nigeria became a country. This sector, which is meant to be the engine room where the policies of government are executed, tends to be the hub where the face of government is bastardized. A scenario where civil servant report to work late and sign to have been there at the approved time, not to  talk of those who will not be around at all to perform their duties but escape supervision and penalization. Can it still be said that it was the government or the people; it can’t be denied that government has put the plans in place but the people is the problem.\nIt cannot be argued when it is said that educations steers civilization but in the case of Nigeria’s education, it is seen as a ticket to a comfortable life (A life of consumptions and less creation). The government would make policies, issue out executive orders to make the educational system of the country better but it is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the same people it was meant for have always sabotaged it. How can one explain the situation where a parent who is suppose to fight for a true and astute education for a child is colluding with principals and some school management to involve in  what I call Episcopal Examination Malpractice where the  answers are literally written on the board for the students to copy. They want to see their children have distinctions that they don’t merit and can’t defend. It is a cause to wonder because a lot of people would not see this as corruption because all the mentioned front is profiteering from it. This is just the middle level of education what about the tertiary and it is quickly spreading to the primary educational level, and students no longer put their all into being learned anymore because they now know there is an easy way out and the society has come to accept it as norm. Yet you see people complain hypocritically why the country’s educational sector is churning out graduate that are half-baked or at all not qualified, this is a menace that is not alien to them, but none can come out and push for a stop because most have benefitted in one way or the other from this curse.\nIn conclusion, I would like to say that the Nigerian problem is not a structural or institutional problem but a mindset problem. There is too much hypocrisy going around and it is funny that most persons feel others do not see their share of the hypocrisy as he/she sees in them. Countless of time the global world has recognised Nigeria as a country with great wealth and potentials and you wonder why is Nigeria still this way. The fact of the matter, the driving force of this thought is not in any way trying to blackmail the Nigerian state nor is it trying to make it sound as if there is no good in the Nigerian state, of course there good in Nigeria. There are people struggling everyday to make sure the perception of Nigeria in the international community changes for the better, but the fact must be stated so that Nigerians can become aware that they have a problem and work towards achieving greatness as a nation collectively. The lots of Nigerians that feel what the country have is a leadership problem should come to the realisation that it isn’t, because you have the right to choose your leaders and the leaders that were chosen would offer what they can----if he/she is worthy of the position he/she would perform worthily and vice versa.\nNigeria is a great nation that knows her problem, have the tools to solving but is not solving it because the will to solve it is not there.",
