5 Easy Ways MEN Can Escape Poverty

Many of our (men) current anti-poverty efforts focus on access to health, educational, agricultural, and financial services. Now, it seems, we need to start treating from the drawing board and learn how to deal with these 5 things mentioned below that greatly contribute to poverty among men.

1. Leave Naked Women Alone:

Yes, those women who dress like they are in the process of undressing but they have not finished. Leave them alone. Most of them are up to no good and will only cost you a whole fortune in one weekend. Instead, get yourself a real woman: There is strength in a real woman. Not these tuma chics that my colleague Mwaba Mutale calls 'Bandits'. Get a woman who will not only support your vision but will also push you to achieve more. A woman who will inspire you to work hard and not a woman who just makes you hard. He who finds a real woman finds a good thing and obtains favor and power to create wealth.

2. Stop Drinking Cheap Beer:

I have no problem with having a drink over the weekend for social interaction and networking. However, when you drink cheap beer, you hang out with cheap people who have cheap ideas and a cheap future. Big business opportunities are found in places where the drinks are expensive. In fact, in places where they sell cheap beer, the only people you will find there are people who will be asking you for money. They even clap when you come knowing 'big buyer' has come...

3. Stop being Lazy:

"Man oh Man, why art thou Lazy?" You are too lazy for your own good. You sleep the whole day and blame the govt for your poverty. "A Little Sleep, a Little Slumber, poverty shall overtake you like a political cadre in overalls". A lot of men are just lazy when it comes to making money. They have enough energy to give a woman five orgasms but have no energy to start one organization.... that's why it is so easy for men to manufacturer children than it is to make even pegs for putting children's clothes on the line...

4. Know Productive Things:

You know too much about the UEFA, EPL, and LaLiga than you know about the Lusaka Stock Exchange and Wall Street... If you keep too much junk in your head, you get a junk life. I know a lot of men who are so sharp when you are talking about girls, about soccer, and about street politics but bring a topic about investment, innovation, and business, they start looking at their phone, yawning or saying bye... Useless things, videos, and memes go viral fast than constructive things... A man must know how to do at least one productive thing (have one skill) even without having gone to college...

5. Get Connected to Big Men:

A lot of men are failing because they are not mentored. They don't have anyone to whom they can sit down and listen, with obedience. In the old days, old men would sit young men down and show them how to hunt and kill animals... and no man was considered a man enough until he has personally killed an animal... now these men of nowadays are not mentored and can't even kill a bird... There are men out there who have made it in life, find a way to get mentored by big men who are making waves...
