2,000 Nigerians Downloaded the CBN Document? Here’s Why That’s a National Red Flag and a Personal Wake-Up Call

By Chijioke J. Adimike

CBN Governor Cardoso recently revealed that only about 2,000 people out of 200 million downloaded a major financial document from the Central Bank.

Let that sink in for a moment....

This means that just a meagre 0.001% of the population engaging with policies that directly affect their money, businesses, and future.

This isn’t just a “Nigerians don’t read” problem.

It’s a mindset problem.

We hustle hard, but rarely pause to seek insight.

We chase returns, but skip the fine print.

We want wealth, but don’t study the systems that build or break it.

This is why so many get trapped in fake land deals.

Why people invest millions without verifying titles or government policies.

Why some miss out on emerging housing finance opportunities, because they simply don’t know what’s coming.

I’ve seen people lose 50 million on a land purchase they could’ve avoided by reading one page of a land use act, or asking the right questions.

I’ve also helped clients double their portfolio value, not because they had more money, but because they had more insight.

I remember as a student, I studied at both school and even Ojo Local Government library in Lagos.

I wonder if such libraries are still functional or even stocked with good books these days.

Someone was quoted to have said that "if you want to hide something from Nigerians, write it in a book".

Can you imagine that?

Our youth, who make most part of Nigeria's population, want to watch skits, watch some immoral reality TV shows, look for shortcut to make riches and lots more.

No one cares to read anymore.

Information protects.

Ignorance costs.

If you want to succeed in real estate or in life, stop scrolling past the documents that hold the truth.

Read.

Ask.

Learn.

I once read in a book that if you make get engagement, follows and make money, make content for FOOLS.

That hit me because the contents referred to here are things that most Nigerian youth prefer to spend most of their time on - skits, gossip news, making quick money and so on.

No wonder ponzi schemes are cashing in on Nigerians

No wonder skit makers and not people who post educative contents are making it big, buying big houses and cars. 🤔
