IDLE TIME BREEDS POVERTY

                        IDLE TIME BREEDS POVERTY


My Mentor took his time to explain to me the dangers of having money in your pocket without a budget. His exact word is “Any Loose cash in your wallet/pocket must be spent”.


He advised that I should stop carrying cash around, as it gives false security, and creates a mentality limitation in your head, which plays out when you do not have cash in your pocket. Take along with you what is budgeted, and learn to move around without cash in your pocket. This is the first step of financial discipline and an emancipation from financial slavery.

The same is applicable to TIME. Resist Idle time, is like loose cash in your pocket. If you do not budget your time, you will spend it on things that will destroy you e.g Gossip, loitering, hanging around Jobless people, playing lottery, engaging in Ponzi scheme etc.



This starts from Secondary School, when students stay at home in the name of Holiday doing nothing. You will hear some say “Am waiting for Jamb” That is a very wrong mentality. There are many skills for one to acquire like

1.    Photography

2.    Computer Repair

3.    Phone Repair

4.    Graphic Design

5.    Desktop Publishing

6.    Digital Marketing

7.    Hair making

8.    Tailoring

9.    Electronic Repair

10.    Recoiling of Electric motors

11.    Plumbing

12.    Solar Installation/Inverter Installation

13.    CCTV Installation ETC


There are many skill and knowledge to acquire than being idle at home. Idleness will attract other idle people in that neighborhood, and create a meeting point to experiment foolishness like e.g Cultism, Alcoholism, Drug Abuse, Prostitution, Lottery staking, stealing, all social vices in the society.
