Contest Alert : Money answereth all things...How true?

Source

Hello friends and fellow steemians happy new month to you all, we are grateful to God for have made it to the very last month of the year. It interests me most, to participate on this week contest with you on Steem4nigeria with an interesting topic "money answered all things"

What is your thought and perspective about this statement,do you agree with this statement.

This statement "money answered all things, is becoming an age long statement especially here in Nigeria. But some adage or statement of this type, comes into play or existing conditionally not for the literal sense or meaning actually, but as a tool for an emphasis especially conditionally. In several occasions, it seemly true but in reality or literally, it might not be or not just true.

For instance, someone might give another person, maybe money at the exact point of need, and the receiver would say "thank you, you are my god today" this doesn't mean that the giver is actually or literally the god of the receiver but it's just an emphasis of expression for the gift in time of trouble.

Furthermore, when a country is still generally underdeveloped, which means 75% of the population, are not only poor but poorest of the poor, they country seemed to esteem those who are privileged to be doing better or have more than the others, higher than the rest of the fellow citizens.

This situation triggers the attitude of worshipping the ones presumed to be rich. And for this reasons, the poor people are amazed how rich men and women start their project and get them completed within few weeks, and for some few said rich men who are also good because at least, they use their resources to help the poor and plan a change of positions for them.

For instance, the number of people who would have been withheld in the hospital because of their inability to foot the hospital bills, the people who are in serious debts, a poor layer, police, doctor, civil servants, market men and women etc are eager to compromise any integrity in their various fields of profession if they are offered some money not even huge amount.

So due to the service of compromise because of poverty in the country, as soon majority receive financial lift, the can easily make the statement "money answered all things" because in the same country, every thing except nature, is likely solvable with money which is not supposed to be so if not poverty.

To conclude, in reality money can not answer all things because their are zillions of sick men and women, down with one health issues or the other, and has all the money to foot hospital bills but after all treatment their condition remains or rather managed.

Some rich men and women that has all the money, but they're childless even though they adopt, those children can never become their blood biologically, not even by training. And many more samples of proofs that the statement is not true. It's just coined out of poverty. In a developed countries people are treated equally and no hanging or raising of shoulders, praise and worship of the Rich.

Finally "money answered all things" is an existing statement in the country because of poverty not reality if you were able to pick my points. So I disagree with the statement "money answered all things".

Do you think this statement is overrated and imbalanced?

Yes I do think so, it's imbalance and overrated. No doubt that there are services of money in fact, within few minutes or shortest time, a lot of things are being done immediately as long as the money is there but no matter how numerous these things solved or done by money are, it can never include all.

So to me, it should be reduced to money answered many things not all things in this form, it is balanced and well rated.

Do you have any personal experience or from someone you know to back up your take on the statement? Do share with us.

Yes there was a neighbour couple I knew when I was in Aba, I met them from the new yard close to their home where I parked in new then, through my work. The building advert I placed by the roadside, they were driving by one evening and saw my design and admired it and they called my line and I picked and asked me where I stay, I said sir am a new tenant and mentioned my yard and he was happy that I lived close.

And he said he liked my design and needs some work and i charged him with fear and some elements of conscience and I was expecting him to price me maybe one quarter of by charge but he said ok that since am even the neighbour, he will transfer half of my charge immediately and when I complete the job he will pay me the rest and at instant made the payment.

So thereafter, I went inside my own yard and began to enquire about the man and his wife, people now told me that they have married over 30 years plus but they have not had a kid even though they are affluent. And told me that if I had increased my charge, he doesn't have issues paying me because the money is there.

I have many life experiences that money can not answer all things but can't go through them all because of time.

If you were to rephrase this statement, what would the new statement be. (Optional

Like I said before money answer many things is better that saying all things. I said many things because money actually does many things.

Thank you beloved Friends and fellow steemians that is my own view points in this contest and want to invite @josepha, @rudylove, @entity01 to also join the contest.
