It is said that without greed we would still be living in caves but, left unchecked, the insatiable desire for more and better material things can be destructive.

Greedy people stop betting! Shun lotto!

Go and learn a trade!

Why you no add pastors.....

I tell my children to never associate with greedy people because greedy people cannot be loyal to anyone, their god is $$$ and not their fellow man. Further, a greedy person will go to any length to commit evil and to acquire goods even if it means hurting their fellow human being. Greedy people are usually arrogant and are only ever happy when others are beneath them or in the dust.

A greedy man is usually a narcissist who is obsessed with his own selfish desires. Greed is the fundamental cause of destruction of the environment, decimation of whole cultures and subjugation of whole peoples and relegation of the working class to eternal servitude and debt. Greed is the cause of wars, fights, hate and envy. Greed will one day itself be decimated.

Greed is always content to be on top at the expense of dehumanising the weak, poor and humble. To associate with a greedy person will corrupt you, disappoint you, exploit you and kill you. Do not associate with them, or encourage them or assist them, instead expose them for the lost souls they are. Their end is SHAME. Save as many of these sad people if you know any but do not envy them or follow them to destruction.

Examples of greedy people :
-Yahoo Yahoo
-Kidnappers
-Ritualists
-Corrupt politicians and leaders
-Corrupt clergy
-Greedy bankers and business men
-Those who want to be rich overnight
-Armed Robbers
-Anyone who is greedy for excessive gain and who worships material things
-Drug pushers


The end of greed is total destruction, everlasting shame and a eternal loss. Flee from greed and live a life of contentment and HUSTLE for your bread. God will bless you !


"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." - James 4 : 1-23

"But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed," -1 CORINTHIANS 5:11

So many of our youth from the south have this traits.Money ...Money...Money never depart from their lips. South easterners are even more guilty becos they need to meetup with their peers who are doing far better than them .

Still doesn't justify greed. We're in the world but not of the world. So change if you're guilty.

you can see nigerians justifying their worship of money with phrases like 'nobody is perfect', 'you're jealous', etc.

by their fruits you shall know them. nigeria is notorious planetwide for the most heinous of crimes and the worst type of societal dysfunction absent of full blown war.

Thanks alot. I have one in my house here.. I have no option than to tell him to leave..

Every greedy person ends up in hell #fact
10th commandment thou shall not covert

Offpoint:
Lol, I laugh at this thread. This shouldn't be on a Nigerian website cuz there's no single Nigerian who isn't greedy.
There thousands of events I could list here to show every Nigerian is greedy one way or the other.
(The 2012 Subsidy saga
Lagos Okada ban
Border closure
The Dollar/Naira saga and so on... )

That's the reason the country is neither moving forward or backward.

I don't want to be like these hypocrites on this thread, I'm greedy to some level. I won't come here and claim to be a saint.

I am not. Can you explain how a fellow like me who you have never met is greedy.

The most greedy people I have ever met are real estate agents. They want to earn more than the owner of the property.

If you're renting a house, you pay almost double of the rent — yet they aren't happy.

If you give them a ppty, they will front someone as the person that's bringing the buyer and this person will demand a separate fee for bringing the buyer, while they expect you to still pay them the usual agency fee. Later, they will give the person his own cut.

If you want to buy, they'll add money on top of what seller wants to sell, and you will still pay them the usual agency fee. I have never got a receipt that's the same amount I paid. Any document they procure for you will be at x10 of the charges for the documents.

They call this criminality hustling. I haven't seen such level of greed anywhere!

So much unredeemable rots in people's minds.

Look within you, deep down inside of you...

OP I disagree with you
Being greedy means you want more and more of something, especially money. But you can be greedy for just about anything, including food, drink, or fame. People who are greedy are a little too interested in having something. Usually, that something is money. ...

Any body that needs more and more money is greedy legit or crime way .

OP stop working go to your bank take all the money you have and give to the poor.

If you love making too much money (legit) is also a greed.

Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Matthew 19:21

All the richest men have selfish desire for wealth or power, if they make money and shear it out . That means they are not greedy.

Make money and keep it to him self alone is greed

Amen o!!!! It's a world filled with greedy homo sapiens.

It will shock you not everyone is greedy

Perfecttouchade:
Been in several situations with greedy fellows but the honest truth is that, u can't tell from the beginning due to the way dey act at first...greed leads to regrets, be careful with it

yea, the best trick is to set a trap for them. engage in deal with with money you can easily loose. test them with small early on. .this reveals their inner greed. ask them for help even when you don't need it and see who goes out of their way to assist. Greedy people like taking but hate giving
