Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has listed several habits that keep people in poverty, News About Nigeria reports.
In a tweet on his verified handle on Monday, he noted that indulging in these habits will stall a person’s journey to wealth, and in some cases ,cripple that person financially and make such a person remain in penury.
According to him, some of these habits include spending without a budget, regularly eating out, shopping for groceries at supermarkets rather than local markets, buying designer clothes instead of regular ones, constantly upgrading to the latest iPhone, overeating, overgenerosity, patronising pornographic websites, and a host of other habits.
He noted that these habits are financial drainers and will keep people in poverty if not broken.
