Solving problems is often the key to creating wealth and improving society. When people focus solely on making money without solving problems, it can lead to a society that's not sustainable in the long term. Wealth is ultimately built on solving problems and adding value, not just chasing money for its own sake.
When I mean solving problems, I don't mean opening a shop to sell groceries or learning how to make hair or fingers. You have to solve a problem that the world will patronize and then bring their money here or a problem that resolves the concerns of many Nigerians.

Because most Nigerians are just interested in making money and majority don't want to solve problems, we cannot make collective wealth. This mentality is what has transcended into the government and it always does not work. Few people may have this money but as long as we are not centered on solving salient issues, majority will be poor.
I don't blame many Nigerians though, it has become a paradox, many are poor so a poor man needs to eat first before thinking of how to solve problems, the rich ones are not thinking of how to solve problems. This is a bad culture


Problem solving has a way of creating a side effect called wealth. Longterm collective wealth is embedded in problem solving. The poor need to eat first before thinking of how to solve any societal problem. The rich is not interested in solving any problem that will benefit everyone in the long term and in turn make him richer because he was not trained to think that way.
Because problem solving requires critical thinking, our schools are incapable of producing critical thinkers hence the problem worsens, those who teach in schools themselves are not capable of solving the schools problem and so they keep producing people who cannot solve Nigeria's problems (you can't give what you don't have) .
No one knows how to actually unbundle these and resolve them. It's seeming like a paradox.
