You are choosing poverty.

You are a cleaner with four kids, can't you see you're calling poverty? I'm sorry but you've got no business having more than two kids-actually, one but for the sake of companionship between two siblings.

You came from a poverty stricken home and you decide not to write JAMB but learn to be a mechanic deluding yourself that it's one and same with auto engineering, and you pray in church that God should make you bigger? How na? How many rich mechanics do you know?

Babe, you're still struggling and hustling to pay your university fees and you decided to date the guy you buy meat from with no degree. That's a no no honey!

You're in medical school with an allowance of only five thousand naira every month and you're dating a girl in auchi poly (no offence meant) who's got five younger siblings she sends money to. Them dey train you, you dey train dog, I pity you o!

You're an orphan, with practically no financial support- fear no catch you, you'll be sleeping around with small boys without protection. You'd get pregnant now and the cycle of poverty continues

You're a university lecturer, you have four younger ones to raise then you marry a woman who also has four younger siblings to raise. Sucks to be you bruh! Cos you'd hardly know where your salaries go.

Your wife is a teacher, you've got no job. You've got three girls and you say you want a boy that will carry on your name. Abeg which name? Are you more of a man than Barrack Obama?

You have tons of books to read and you sit watching tv 24/7. Have you seen anyone who got rich by watching tv?

If we are sincere to ourselves we'll know that some of The choices we make are detrimental. Is that guy/babe you're trying to make a spouse a liability or an asset? It may seem harsh to drop the idea of being with someone for this reason but no be by force o. If you are ok with being average or poor then it's fine. I know you could fall in love with someone regardless. But trust me, poverty frustrates love. Love has since regained her sight,she's no more blind.Try to imagine where you'd end up based on where you are now. If you don't like it you can make the changes now. Being rich like Dangote may be a complex interaction of a multiplicity of factors that may be beyond your control, but not so with poverty. Most poor people are responsible for their status as a result of wrong choices- Abi what do you think?

  3. Well said. Beyond the mush mush of relationships is the harsh reality of choices and decisions.

  4. Beautiful post. I wish a lot more people try to keep their eyes open, (not just assume their eyes are open) when making choice. I mean that one should make choices when one is sane and not "under the influence".
