Greetings amazing Nigerian bloggers how are you all doing today I hope all is well and also I hope the economy isn't showing you pepper, as for me well I'm managing.


In my today's entry I will be taking part in an amazing contest organize by @sahmie with the theme "The Root of All Evils" which we all know already that "Money is the root of all evil"


Do You Think Money Is Really The Root Of All Evil, Or Do You Think It's More About How People Use Money That Can Lead To Bad Things Happening?

The reason why people came about this saying "Money is the root of all evil" in the first place is because of the power and influence that comes alongside with money 🤑 which sometimes that influence may be positive influence while some may be negative influence depending on the type of person in question.


But basically I sincerely think that how people make use of this money is what that is determining the evil, the lack of contentment has caused most people to go on an extra miles just to get more money.


I've seen brothers fighting and killing one another all because of money, I've seen marriage falling apart all because of money and I have seen friends becoming enemies all because of money


What is causing all this you may ask? But due to lust, greed and lack of contentment has lead to all this bad things that is happening.

Can You Think Of Any Examples Where Money Has Actually Done Some Good, Like Helping People In Need Or Supporting Good Causes?

Definitely yes, I remember I once published an article saying how our community transformer was vandalized and as a result of that something valuable was stolen inside of it and ever since then our community was left with no electricity


It remain that way for a very long time and no one came to our aid even the government turned a deaf ear to our cries, but to show you that money has power and can definitely do good.


When one of our community person who was an SA (senior assistant) to the governor was appointed as the new local government chairman after one month in office he immediately replaced our community transformer with a new one.


Which from next month our community will start having light which is a great help to our community because presently water supply in our community is very low as everyone have to trek a long distance to be able to fetch water.


But when we start having electricity in our community water will be everywhere as people will see light to use and pump their water now that fuel is very expensive.

How Do You Personally See Money In Your Own Life?

Create a target there say, and make your everyday be towards achieving it, which in a normal sense it is create a target and hustle everyday towards achieving it, and when we say hustle we mean making money.


So personally how I see money is simply a tool that helps us in making our dreams a reality, you dream of travelling around the world without money you won't even reach Lagos.


You dream of establishing you own company you will definitely need to start somewhere and that somewhere will definitely need money, so you see that money is the one thing that helps us in achieving our goals in life

Have You Ever Seen Situations Where People Doing Anything For Money Caused Problems Or Made Things Unfair?

Yes and some of it are all over social media, we call them the yahoo boys who are always ready to go to an extra miles in other to make money which at the end causes lots of problems to them and sometimes to their family members.


Like one of my uncle told me as he was traveling from abia state to akwa ibom, he said that a 4matic Benz pull over by the side of the road and a nice looking young guy came out of it and started shouting and tearing his clothes and even started packing dirt from the street and putting in his car.


All because of what, all because of money they go around looking for short cuts to get rich which at the end render them useless in a shameful way.


This will be the end of my entry and I will like to invite

Your insights on the relationship between money and evil are thought-provoking, @radleking. It's true that money itself isn't inherently evil, but rather, it's the actions and intentions of people that determine its impact. Your example of how money brought light back to your community illustrates its power to do good when used wisely. However, your cautionary tale about the pitfalls of obsession with money serves as a reminder of its potential to lead astray. Thanks for sharing your perspective and sparking this important discussion.
