A lady has asserted that if Nigerians leave their country, their desire to be filthy rich would change and they will become more contented.
According to the young woman identified as Ugonna, Nigerians have believed so much in being filthy rich that they forget that basic things and successful life can be gotten without having all the money in the world.
She added that the mentality stems from abject poverty and a system that doesn’t work in the country. The lady stated that once one leaves Nigerians, their mentality changes.
Ugonna revealed that they get more contented with the money they get from their place of work and most importantly cut their coat according to their size.
“If you leave Nigeria, you’ll become a lot more content. That desire to be filthy rich is due to being surrounded by abject poverty and a system that doesn’t work. When you move and experience a working system even as an average earner, you’ll relax and be content,” she said in a part.
Reactions: I agree with you
The tweet had many social media users talking. See some comments below;
@kittsokin: My friends in the EU are so content. Truly, when the system works, we would all stop trying to be “filthy rich” and just be comfortable with being happy and having enough to take care of ourselves in every sense, and our loved ones.
@phelixio: Ugonna, a friend in the Eurozone joined the chat and is absolutely in agreement with your point
@addel_cares: With so much benefit abroad and a working system, you will naturally find contentment. Your major concern would now be on how to stay healthy and live long.
@judeVector: Asin eeeh this is so f*cking true , when you are in a working system you won’t be pressured to be filthy rich before you enjoy the basic things in life 💯
@fomax112: Ugonna, I agree with you 👇🏾
