“Nobody Will Keep Giving You Money Forever” – Zicsaloma Urges Youths To Learn Skills

Nigerian skitmaker and content creator Zicsaloma has advised young people to acquire practical skills, warning that relying on handouts or begging for money is not a sustainable way to survive.

In a viral video circulating on social media, the comedian said people without valuable skills have little chance of earning a stable income or achieving financial independence.

According to him, many young people graduate from school without being able to apply what they studied or perform practical tasks that can earn them a living.

He noted that some people cannot drive, cook, use a computer, design graphics or take advantage of emerging opportunities like artificial intelligence.

He said, “You know, you can’t have money if you’re not doing anything. Like you’re redundant. You don’t have a skill. You don’t stand a chance. Or your chance is almost zero.

“You can’t drive. You can’t cook. You’re not a chef. You are not computer literate. You don’t know graphic design. You don’t do AI. You do nothing.

“Some of you are graduates, but you don’t even know what you studied. You studied English, you can’t construct proper sentences. You studied Accountancy, you don’t know how to keep books.”

Zicsaloma also revealed that he regularly receives messages from people asking him for financial assistance. He recalled asking one individual what skill they had, only to be told they could do nothing.

He warned that constantly depending on others for money would eventually drive people away.

He said, “I asked the person, ‘What can you do?’ The person said, ‘Nothing.’ Nobody will keep giving you money forever. You will always be a burden to people, and people will keep running away from you.”

The content creator encouraged young people to focus on learning practical skills instead of asking others for money.

According to him, careers such as barbering, hairdressing, driving, catering and other vocational skills can create opportunities for financial success.

He added, “Instead of disturbing people for money, disturb people you can learn skills from. You could be a chef, you could be a driver. Just start from somewhere.

“Your goal should be to learn a skill properly. You can become a millionaire from that skill. If you’re at home doing nothing, you do not stand a chance.”
