Yes!
Though this your question sounds sarcastic, but I can assure you that I have some landed properties and more are yet to come. Before the end of 2025, I would have started building a house by God's grace! 🙏

Reading is a powerful tool for personal growth, but it doesn’t guarantee a transformation in one’s financial or social status. Books offer knowledge, insights, and perspectives, but real change often requires action and the application of what has been learned.

People read for various reasons—whether to gain knowledge, improve intelligence, or simply for enjoyment—and each type of book serves its purpose. However, when it comes to financial improvement or achieving success, reading alone isn’t enough. Without taking practical steps and putting in the effort to implement strategies, all the knowledge in the world won’t lead to tangible results. Reading is the foundation, but action is the catalyst for change.

Nigerians read books for reading’s sake. They don’t do it to better their lives. It reminds me of an entry I saw here once; people who dwelled in a slum. In that slum resided a book merchant. He had consumed over 300 books and counting. The knowledge he got from them was endless quotes from great men. He still lived in his one-bedroom tent with a pit toilet located metres away.
