Ignorance

Hello everyone, hope you're good? I've not been active here for a long time because of some reasons I stated in my article A fateful weekend and I hope it gets sorted out so I can write some amazing articles. This article is not to start any religion war, kindly drop your opinion nicely.

The word ignorance is lack of knowledge and information, and not wanting to know about something. Ignorance has lot of definition but same meaning, it can also be said as lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated things.

Ignorance has killed lot of people and has made lot of people lose job opportunities because they're not ready to learn new things and leave their old beliefs, it's not like their beliefs are wrong or anything but it has gotten in the way of their prosperity.

This ignorance is really common the christians, not all of them though but quite a number of them. Let me say a little story - we have a family friend that's a Christian and has been in search of a job, he was given a job offer on a platter of gold to be the manager of an hotel but he declined because he's a Christian, he said he can't work in an unholy place and now he's still in search of a job. With the way the country is and how difficult it is to get a job, you said you can't work in an hotel as a manager because right from kid our definition of what an hotel is is totally different from what it is and most of us did not even try to know what an hotel is and get rid of the old definition of it, we just let our ignorance and lack of wanting to know more get in the way of our prosperity.

There are basically 3 types of ignorance

• Factual ignorance - This is when we lack knowledge of some basic facts about how the sun shows and how the earth rotates.

• Object ignorance - This is when we naturally hate some object because of what we've heard about it, like how some people hate doll and teddy bear probably because of that movie shoki

• Technical ignorance - This is the lack of technical know how of somethings, like how to use phone and about cryptocurrency and all.

Just as mentioned in an article written by @Kristofferquincy about how Nigerians think. Our thinking has really damaged us and has held us in a position that won't let some people move forward in life.

I was asked once that "why is it that the rich keep on getting richer and the poor keeps on getting you know more poor? Is it that the rich takes all the opportunity to make wealth or what?" I replied and said " yes, some rich people only give the opportunity to make wealth to their already rich friends and children and some poor people don't have the means to even make wealth. But still yet some people have been showed how to make wealth but they say it's against their beliefs, even when it's not fraud". Some people believe and say cryptocurrency is the currency they spend in hell and they'll never get into it even if it's their only way to come out of poverty.

Let's learn to know about things and stop judging things on someone's opinion about that thing, we should not limit our opportunities because of our beliefs. And we should explore the world more.

This might be one of the unidealistic things you've ever read, but I hope you enjoyed and learn something new from it. Thank you
