When you see an item you’d like to have in the present but you can’t afford it, please don’t type comments like, “this one is for rich people,” or “I can’t afford this one o lai lai.” Or “Na wa o. People are just wasting money.”

Here’s why.
My friend and I spoke yesterday and she mentioned how she’s never seen me as poor even when my family of 6 with Granpa, Grandma, aunt and cousin lived in a 2-bedroom BQ in Ogba.

If cash is the barometer,yes, we were poor. But there was something that didn’t make us act hopeless,
it was the fact that we didn’t think anyone was better than us. Truly, we had no class consciousness.

Confidence was instilled in us, to never measure our worth by the amount of money we didn’t have.

Imagine having N200 in the whole world and measuring your worth by that.
Who then are you when you have no cash at all?

Work hard for the lifestyle you want and let that be your motivation. You can afford whatever you want, not just at this time.

So look at these items in confidence and make a mental note to purchase them WHEN you become buoyant.
Poverty may be your temporary state of being, it should never be your state of mind.

I learnt as I began to gain consciousness of how the world works that just because I’m on this earth, I BELONG HERE and anywhere else my feet steps into.
