Pretty Mike, a socialite, has given Nigerians some advice on how to survive and thrive in difficult times, rather than whining about how horrible things are in the country.

Pretty Mike recently shared a story on his official Instagram page about how a young man assisted him in purchasing a ticket after he missed his flight.

Pretty Mike, citing him as an example of a diligent young man, urged Nigerians to look for new ways to make money rather than complaining about the country’s current state of affairs.

His post reads:

“This Lagos is truly Paradise “u can’t help but to love it even in the middle of all this nonsense and stress…. I booked a ticket over 2 weeks ago to the East, flight was for 10am, left my house 7am and still missed the flight not minding I got down from my high horse car and climbed a bike oooh, the interesting part in this story is, the hustle, no flight available, every ticket online totally sold out, I met a young man at the airport that saw my desperation and offered to help, my people even with all the tickets sold out, I was able to purchase an Airpeace business class ticket that goes for 80k regular price for 250k ,….. and the moral of this story is, stop complaining that our country is bad, we know it is, rather, create an opportunity for urself to make money and break bread, there are a lot of young men and women out here genuinely hustling to make ends meet and I commend them all, ….. All road leads to OBÀ”
