When the economy is bad in totality it makes people adjust to scarcity so well and it becomes difficult to see opportuinities where there are hardly opportunities. When the mind is rather uncreative people begin to adjust to finding it difficult to come up with financial innovation that can yield dividends; better still, provide a source of income for themselves and even for someone else.

I use to say that one of the major increase or assistance to natural or organic unemployment is people not finding the need to solve the need around them in exchange for money. What different sucessful entrepreneurs from unsucessful one is to ability to create a sellable concept out of nothing even in from of potential risk.

This isn't totally associated with the human society in general, its generally an economics pattern of behaviour from where I come from. Truth is, while the government are the main cause of unemployment, people are one of the reasons why it even flourish and why is this?

A lot of people have taken survival to mean "the ability to eat three square meals in a day" but it goes beyond this. Survival to me mean the ability to thrive: thriving means growth, change and comfort to a mimimal level. Being used to poverty is majorly because of the laziness to be creative. People make poverty plans, they marry and raise children without a sustainable means of income rather they base their future on variables of probability.

One thing im trying to talk about is that creativity brings innovation which has the potential to sell. I went to watch a football game with a friend two days ago and you could tell the owner of the game center enjoys a certain monopoly that allows him the opportuinities to give people bad servicing and still maintain his business.

He had, but Competition, it was obvious another person could open up the same game center and reduce the stress of potential customers, create a means of income for himself and even employ assistants and provide healthy employement as well. This was just an environment observation on a potential service that would yield dividends and people in that geographical zone hasn't been quick enough to spot the opportunity

Inasmuch as half opportuinities are lying-in-wait, it would take an intuitive mind to discover. Nevertheless, the regular Nigerian is not really innovative, they rely on trend to either invest or follow a patern. Nowadays people can only think of buying in bulk and selling to their friends and family at a ludicrously unrealistic rate all in the name of business and profiteering.

While this might seem like the most popular business idea for young universities leavers it begs you to imagine how a person would attend all those years in an expensive institution and still find it difficult to create a sellable innovative that can take them away from poverty.

Innovations are lying around, as a person its important to find that unique character that that create an opportunity to suit your personality. We have a lot of internet fraudsters in my locale and more people are joining this trend to make easy money. Look at the Nigerian internet space.

We now have more comedians on instagram more than people who are consuming comic contents. More people are following a pattern, making that area of money making to be totally useless and untenable in the long run. My point is, people needs to do better, leave their comfort zone and challenge themselves. Laziness makes a lot of people think that they're not productive. Following a pattern to break poverty wouldn't work everytime. Money wouldn't be the principal thing at all time and the earlier the better.
