10 Reasons Why You Must Get Rich

From time immemorial, people have always overlooked the importance of money, till they desperately need MONEY. Yea, money might not be everything in this world, but it sure is a very vital element in this life we live in. A woman might confess love to a man and tell him she loves him with all her heart, but let the man's funds run a bit low, and see the nagging side of her come out. Whichever way we look at it, from whichever angle we look at it, money is very important in life, and that is why I feel everyone should strive to get a lot of it and get rich. Yea, I am sounding very materialistic and vain right now, right? Please sit back and read this 10 reasons why I feel EVERYONE MUST GET RICH.
10. Money Equals Value
Yup! What is that paper you have in your wallet if it doesn't have value? It would just be any other paper you can throw in the thrash. But because it has value, it can get you things, and be used as an exchange for what you want. So, look at it this way...The more money you have, the more value you have, because paper-money really is an exchange for value. i.e, you get paid for the amount of service you can render at your job. So, the more valuable you are, the more money you would earn, and vice versa. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, and think about how valuable that man and his head of ideas is to this world. Do you want to be valuable or...worthless? Do you want to be that nice guy everyone likes because he is 'nice,' but they overlook when serious matters come up because you are GOOD-for-nothing?
9. Money Answereth All Things
It is even written in the Holy Bible...Ecclesiastes 10:19 says and I quote- "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS." This is a very bitter truth. There was a rich man that told me, "Olu, money can really solve all problems." And I said, I didn't believe. And he said, "Yea, Olumide, there are some problems that money can't solve...MORE MONEY WILL SOLVE THEM." lol!
Think about how the rich in this our country get away with so many things. Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating for you to get money illegally, or that you should be arrogant when you do get it. But, just know that money opens a lot of doors for you.
8. You Can Help the Most People
I hear people all the time making statements such as- 'Our purpose here on Earth is to help people.' Yea, of cos you have to help people, but that is not your main purpose in life. You main purpose in life is to FOCUS ON BEING THE BEST YOU you can be, so that you can help the most people. If you decide to help people and not develop yourself, there is limit to the amount of people you can help. But if you develop yourself, say you become a musician, you would be touching millions of lives the world over with your talent. So, if you set out to become rich in a legitimate way, in the long run, you will be able to help people a million times better than an unambitious person would. This is a logical fact. Think about all the people that are employed today because Dangote decided to get rich? Also think about all the people he helps with his cash everyday.
7. Freedom
Oh my! This is why I do this. This is why I have embraced this entrepreneurial life. Because, really, I would rather die than have my freedom taken away from me. Let me go to bed hungry three nights in a row, I won't give up this dream, cos I love my freedom more than anything in this world. And when I finally hit my mark, then it will all make much more sense.
Think about the freedom to do just about anything you want to do...You can't do that if you are not rich. Think about waking up on a Friday and deciding you want to spend your weekend in the south of France, or in Fiji, and having no problem with getting up right there and then and going to those places. Going to Bora Bora and just basking in the ambiance of the blue waters. Fully appreciating nature and not having to think of when you have to resume at work. It's priceless.
6. Charity
How can you give to charity if you don't have money? How can you give the most to charity if you are not rich? How can you give to charity when you are still a charity case? The ones that give to the less privilege the most are rich people, so it makes more sense to strive to become a rich person, so you can help a lot of people that go without food everyday.
5. Independence
This is another reason why I am an entrepreneur. I love independence. The richer you become, the more independent you are going to become. And who doesn't like independence. It boosts your self esteem, and it also makes you a strong individual, mentally, and psychologically.

76 Hungry Boko Haram Members Surrender To Nigerian Military

Dozens of emaciated-looking Boko Haram members begging for food have surrendered in northeast Nigeria, the military and a civilian self-defense fighter said Wednesday. Seventy-six people including children and women gave themselves up to soldiers last Saturday in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, according to a senior officer. All are being detained at military headquarters in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and currently the command center of the war against the Islamic extremists, according to the officer. He insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. The detainees said many more fighters want to surrender, a self-defense civilian fighter who helped escort them to Maiduguri told The Associated Press. Food shortages could indicate that Nigeria's military is succeeding in choking supply routes of the Islamic extremists who have taken their fight across Nigeria's borders. Some 20,000 people have died in th...
