Why do people fail?

From the posts on this forum it is evident that so many Nigerians (Pastors,Reverends, politicians, the clergy, businessmen, traders, civil servants, married couples, parents, indeed most Nigerians are failures).

90% of Nigerian graduates are jobless, cash strapped, desperate failures looking for some means of coping with the realities of life in Nigeria.

Yet some of their colleagues, friends, and university course mates are landing plum jobs in the telecoms sector, in banks and in oil companies.Some have started church ministries as a means of making money to survive

The painful thing is that these class mates and other people who have landed these lucrative jobs may not even be as smart and hard working as they are.

What are these 90% of Nigerian graduates doing that is causing them to fail? Why have they not yet been employed even though their mates in banks, telecoms, oil companies and churches are happily collecting unbelievably huge, mouth watering incomes every month. Why are these people failures?

Many of these unrepentant failures are not ready to ask themselves the hard questions
(such as, “Why haven’t I succeeded yet?” " Why haven't I got a job yet?", " Why am I not married yet?". Instead Some blame their parents, blame their wives, poverty, their friends, the Nigerian government, politicians , the Catholic Church etc; some even blame their children. Who is responsible for such massive failure in our country?

What do these people need to learn? What do they need to know or to do so as to reinvent themselves in order to succeed?

What is the difference between those who succeed and those who fail?

How can they -( these young Nigerian graduates ,many middle level Civil Servants ,many office workers and many politicians, many parents, many married couples even many Reverends and pastors,)-how can they eliminate the failure barriers and go from crippling failure to success?

What can we do to make Nigeria a Better Place?
