How to thrive in Nigeria’s tough economy

There are so many problems in Nigeria even a 10-year-old child understands this.

Yes, the cost of foodstuffs is on a steady rise. Rent has increased, the price of fuel is high, salaries are not increasing, things are hard and a lot of things are not working as they should even as low as the basic things like good roads, steady power, and basic healthcare.

The Nigerian economy might be in a bad state now but what are you going to do about it?

Are you going to keep complaining and wait for the government to provide solutions for you?

Or are you going to get sick and tired of the situation and take your destiny into your own hands by doing something about it?

True leaders are problem solvers! Nigeria needs more leaders with problem-solving ability! It can start with you.

The brutal truth about life most people refuse to accept is that you have no control over many of the things that happen in life.

Your power is in focusing on what you can control and not what someone else, the government, or life controls.

You cannot control the interest rates. You cannot control inflation. You cannot control the prices of goods and services. There are so many things you cannot control and you cannot do anything about it.

If you focus on the things you cannot control, you will live in a state of constant fear, anxiety, and frustration.

Are you complaining about the Nigerian economy or are you contributing to finding solutions to the problems in Nigeria?

Challenges are simply opportunities in disguise. Problems are simply situations calling for solutions.

You can choose to see problems or you can choose to see opportunities! The choice is yours to make.

Understand this: The rich make money by solving other people’s problems!

True leaders are problem solvers.
