”Become your own boss and stop living this hand me down life”- Actress Stella Damasus advises social media begger


 Actress, Stella Damasus, says most IG beggars prefer to come online to beg than learn how they can make money online
According to Stella, she becomes an enemy to many IG beggars once she suggests ways they can become online entrepreneurs. Read what she wrote below
Like many others, I receive direct messages from young people asking me to help them out with their problems. They need money to pay for one thing or the other. 90% of the time it's nothing medical or life threatening, just money to pay rent or one course in school. I take time to read through their stories and help as many as I can but trust and believe that my contribution may not solve the problem totally. I try to follow up with these people and I find that they always end up in the same place (broke). So I started asking them to learn a trade, use their talent, get mentors, learn from YouTube.
If these people have enough data to come and ask for money on social media then they would definitely have enough to learn something from YouTube or other free webinars. The moment I start to ask them to learn something I become an enemy. Then I get messages like "if you don't want to help me just say it. We, your fans have made you into a star but you can't help us with your money". It used to upset me but then I had to understand that the heart of a hungry person can lead to verbal diarrhea.
My only problems is that they are hungry for the WRONG THING. You want the money but you don't want the knowledge of the source where you can keep making that money. I don't get it. You want to keep asking for fish but you don't want to learn to catch your own fish. Who knows if you will even start catching more fish than the person you are begging from. I am saying this again " begging for small money here and there will guarantee a constant state of poverty, but acquiring the knowledge and skills and using it to earn a living guarantees constant money in your pocket". Become your own boss and stop living this HAND ME DOWN life. #stelladamasus #actor #nyc#mondaymotivatio

Ikoyi whistleblower not stable to receive N860m reward, he may become mad’ – Sagay

Image
Here’s what he said; “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. . He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself,” Sagay told PUNCH. . “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get ...
