Poverty Is Not Caused By Generational Curses – Reno Omokri

Nigerian author and lawyer Reno Omokri, has opined that poverty is not caused by generational curses.

Reno made this revelation while replying one of his followers who questioned him for advising people to move to high-rent areas.

The human right activist took to his instagram, stating people should move to high-rent areas even if it means living in a room in such areas.

Adding that one’s neighbor can either add to their labor or their favor.

He wrote

Better to be an average guy in a high rent district than be a lord in a ghetto. Move from a low rent area even if you have to live in a room in a high rent area. Poverty is not caused by generational curses, but by generational bad habits triggered by your environment. You are the average of the 5 people you hang around with the most. Your neighbours either add to your labour or your favour. That is why you should choose where you live wisely. Slums often come with scums. It is hard to rise above your location.

His post triggered a follower who immediately took to the comment section to question Reno’s advice, asking where he would get the money to pay for a high-rent apartment and if neighbors really ”connect” people.

In response, Reno said;
