    Let’s be real a lot of Nigerian youths are hustling hard, but still broke.

    And no, it’s not always because they’re lazy or reckless with money.

    There are deeper reasons we don’t talk about enough.

    1. The System Was Never Built for Us.

    From the outdated school curriculum to a job market that’s more about who you know than what you know. It’s hard to “make it” playing by the rules.

    By the time you finish NYSC, you’re already in survival mode.                   

    2. No Real Financial Education

    How many of us were taught how to save, invest, or build credit?

    Instead, you’re expected to “hustle” and magically understand how to manage money in your 20s with no guidance.

    3. Social Media Pressure

    Everyone is “balling” online, even when they’re drowning in debt offline.

    This pressure pushes people to fake a lifestyle or chase quick money just to keep up.

     

     4. Family Expectations

    “You’re the firstborn, you must provide.”

    “You’re a man, why are you broke?”

    The emotional and financial weight many youths carry is silently killing them.

     

     So What’s the Way Out?

    Digital skills are saving lives , tech, writing, design, affiliate marketing. Just Learn something valuable.

    Group accountability create money goals with trusted friends.

    Side hustle wisely. Not every shiny opportunity is legit.

    Normalize talking about money without shame.

     

    What Do YOU Think?

    Are Nigerian youths really lazy?

    What’s the real reason so many are broke?

    Should the government do more, or should we just "grind harder"?
