RE: The Mentality Incurred From Being Poorly Exposed.
A lot meaningfully said here.
Some people have the wrong opinion that a person has to be rich in other to have a decent or sophisticated personal finance journey,
This is wrong. Sometimes, we have seen people that were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but they ended up messing up their finance life.
Meanwhile, the average Nigerian has big ideas that are often trampled upon by the default system they find themselves.
Did you know I took the Computer Literacy project first to government schools and they told me I have to follow protocol. Firts meet the State Education secretary (who you will never see at the office), write letter, this and that. My dear. I came back and knew it wont work. I went to Private schools and it was a boom. No letters, no issues.
Funnily enough, those poor students in government schools need this project than those in Private whose parents can afford computer training fees later. This is just one example.
People are used to unfairness and mediocrity as the new normal.
Its now like culture here. Like, you dont expect Nepa to give you light 20 hours in a day, do you? Hahahaha.
You have said it all sir. Personal finance is even more obvious in a disjointed state like ours

If I had not encountered people with this notion I wouldn't have believed it myself. There are people who associate being wealthy with being disciplined and hard-working, and it is often difficult for them to believe that somebody who is not even a rich could be financially disciplined to an extent.
I can understand you. The bureaucracy in government is just so alarming in Nigeria. Sometimes all this due process are to just frustrate you. We have actually known Nigeria to be a country that uses bureaucracy to deaden the goals of people. Inasmuch as it is not directly affecting them, they wouldn't care if the students needs it. This is why Nigerians go to other countries and actually prosper. The system is just too good to be true outside there.
So many people in better systems do not even know we are used to mediocrity. This is because Nigerians are creative and strong both mentally and physically, the terrible systems has actually made so many people who they are today.

People here misunderstand many things about wealth and take up wrong notions. And some wealthy people too wrongly minimize your efforts because you are not at their level. These things are all too common.
Regarding the mediocrity we put up with in this environment, its just pathetic. I forgot to ask how you have managed this organized cash scarcity. Thats a present example of how our system was designed with all elements of frustration.
