When I read the story of the happy boys sent on a scholarship by Apostle Chibuzor, I knew there was more to the story than was shared on social media.

Now, more stories are emerging of how those same boys were never serious with school and were living a flamboyant lifestyle, drinking, clubbing, and forgetting why they were sent to Cyprus. 🥺

You see, when somebody is poor in the mind, giving such a person more money isn't the solution.

Money doesn't solve money problems.

This is what I have learned recently,

"If somebody is poor in the mind, even if you give such a person a million naira, thinking you are helping him, you would be wrong, he will squander the money on frivolity, buying things to impress people that don't care, and in a matter of time, they would reduce the money to a level that aligns with their limited mindset's capacity to sustain

It is simple!

You can't be a millionaire with a thousandnaire mindset

This might be where Apostle probably got it wrong.

Those boys could've been trained and properly discipled before they were sent to that place. ( Maybe he did that 🤷)

This is why making emotional decisions at times can come back to haunt you.

It's sad, and I feel for the man who only wanted to give them a better life.

The few pictures of those boys I have seen, none looked like students, but more like hip-hop musicians and spoiled brats from rich homes.

They were not mindful of the fact that they were only on a scholarship on someone else's resources.

They abused the opportunity—an opportunity so many of us are looking for.

They did that because of their poor mindset.
and their entitlement mentality

This is sad but the truth is, when we reward mediocrity and laziness, we breed more mediocre and lazy people who feel overtly entitled to other people's resources.

Lots of Nigerian youths suffer from this mindset.

They believe that someone owes them something.

They think the man must provide everything for them.

This is sad.

And before you abuse the pastor, some others who were given a similar opportunity sorted themselves out immediately upon arrival, without having to wait for the pastor to provide everything for them.

Same opportunity, different mindset, different outcome.

See ba, work on yourself, so that when great opportunities come your way, you won't abuse them with your entitlement and poor mentality.
