Why is it difficult for many to think creatively here?

It's easier to make money in poor environment, because poor people don't know how to use money, and that's why ponzi schemes hit the poor more.

The rich are more protected, with smart lawyers and investment experts to study and review documents before they venture, it is more difficult to get money from them.

It is difficult understanding why someone with access to funds would prefer to hand it over to some other person to trade for him or her while he or she goes to sleep receiving and confirming ROI.

They simply can't think or just don't believe in their own abilities and capabilities...

If you have the capital, the will and the right hands, Nigeria is about one of the easiest places in the world to make money. 

A country of over 200 million people, with over 90% of the population poor and battling all forms of economic and social challenges, is a goldmine to those that can think and provide possible solutions at a little cost. 

All that is needed is to be the CAPABLE hands to stand in the gaps between what's making life difficult for these huge poor population as an intervening middleman and you have made enterprise of their problems. By simply breaking down their NEEDS and WANTS into small affordable units, you have a business. 

Why is it difficult for many to think creatively here?

In a society where the social psyche of the people have been so badly looted and damaged with majority suffering under the hypnotising mindset of miracle, luck and magic, you don't need to be a genius to excel here, if only you can think outside the box. 

Our penchant for supersticious or fanatical religious beliefs makes it a lot more easy. In a society like this, it is easy to sell anything, be it a piece of rock, holy water, handshake or mantle once the right sentiments are tuned.🤣

We are the most deeply illusioned society on the planet, no apology!

Our system is designed to create a society of mob mentality, yes, a society of mindless followers and not of independent creative thinkers. 

Just look at our school system; all we do is keep churning out regiments of human automatons brandishing colourfully designed certificates with nothing more than a bunch of memorised formulars and overrehersed definitions and terminological jargon in their heads.

We now have graduates that can't logically deduct nor even comprehend the simple issues around them.

The idea of certificates as meal tickets has robbed our society of creative minds; they keep getting damaged by these institutions filled with rigid and mediocre of lecturers not willing to think outside their lecture notes of 1989.
