The Wisdom of Asking

There is a wisdom of asking that the school of the poor doesn’t teach you.

The School of the Poor loves verses like ‘ask and it shall be given’.

The slogan is valid but out of order.

It works for those who focused FIRST on the philosophy of “Give and it shall be given unto you”.

It works for those who understand FIRST the wisdom of "The borrower is the slave to the lender".

After the gods have been appeased with the observance of these 2 primordial tenets, only then do the elite ask.

They know for a fact and without prayer, that the answer will never be NO.

The poor hope and pray to be favoured.

The rich guarantee it.

Nigeria’s most influential politicians practice this and prosper.

Some will be elected into office this year based on this principle, and they will rule over you.

Remember this: Poverty is not financial lack. It’s a system and culture that makes you act out in ways that burns your bridges and destroys your seed before it has a chance to germinate.

Stop. Think. Observe your surroundings.

Are you starting to connect the dots?

I will continue to teach until you do.

Rooting for you.
