“WE HAVE HARDWORKING LAZY PEOPLE IN NIGERIA” — DIDI-OMAH BLAST ENTREPRENEURS IN THE FACE OF INCREASE IN POVERTY

Bishop David Oyedepo said, life is not a playground, life is a marketplace. That is to say, wealth only responds to traders, not busy-ness with works. Be productive not busy. 

Executive. We have hardworking lazy people in Nigeria — they are hardworking and lazy! Physically hardworking, mentally lazy. And poverty is the mindset that comes to reality. Ideas is the greatest asset anyone can utilise to be wealthy and successful. 

Up and down working, but can't spend at least two hours studying the path to make it big rightly. They are up in the morning and down in the evening, working in a circle. Executive. They are hardworking but lazy, because they do not study; study everyday.

Look Nigeria have up to 86 percent entrepreneurs, yet still struggling as a nation financially. Check the U.S and UK, they don't have the numbers of entrepreneurs we have here in Nigeria. Why? Government. Why? Educational systems. Why? We need to know the reason behind it.

It is lack of direction and ideas, and which can be gotten from having a vision and study relevant information. Go and ask an entrepreneur in the restaurant field, have you studied what makes foreign venture like Kilimanjaro Restaurant successful and global — "No" is the answer. But you will never get tired to hear "food stuffs don cost for market". What kind of mentality is that? 

Will the market predict your business future? They are working; working for money, that's why they remain poor. P-O-O-R! Poor. Executive. Hardworking entrepreneurs that doesn't use their business to play, they have business account set aside from their personal account — yet no changes! They attend every business gatherings to showcase their skills — yet no progress. 

Because they are struggling from the lack of knowledge. Not skills, not money, not business location — for lack of Ideas and direction. And only the knowledge of the truth can empower them above poverty, and take them to the next level. So watch yourself, how often to you study those that are successful in your field? Executive.

I, Didi-Omah, I am not talking about watching their business videos — no. I am talking about them telling the public about their stories, their mistakes, their opinions to be at the top, their successes, their appearance to the public. Take every videos, audios and written contents about them — consume it, and take knowledge of them all. Watch their interviews about the field they are into. 

Hardwork without direction, is a rat-race of no progress. Every Nigerians have turned to one business owner or the other; because of the current state of Nigeria's economy. Invest in knowledge to create the actual future you desire! Knowledge.

And the Bible told us also, that wisdom is profitable for direction — when the people lack knowledge they perish! No direction, no knowledge, no wisdom — just working with limited understanding, lead to the same result.

Executive. Understand the core of your business. The people making serious money in any field are those who truly understand the mechanics and strategy behind it. It is one thing to be blogger, but do you actually understand the business of blogging?

It is one thing to be in real estate, but do you really understand the business of real estate? It is one thing to be in fashion design, do you really understand the business of fashion design? Wake up! Start getting insights to be of authority; and in authority in your field. The truth is what you need!

Executive. We have hardworking lazy people in Nigeria, that is why no matter how many entrepreneurs we have, Nigeria's poverty rate is on high increase. Physically hardworking, mentally lazy — low knowledge, zero direction! Executive. Be different.
