Paddy Adenuga, the son of Nigerian billionaire and business mogul, Mike Adenuga, claims Nigerians spend so much time hating and envying that it has become an epidemic.

Adenuga, who recently wrote a lengthy article on how he nearly acquired a Chevron facility in the Netherlands, in a Twitter post, said “bad belle” or jealousy doesn’t help no one, as nobody is promised tomorrow.

He tweeted;

My advice for you today.. live for yourself first.. except if you have children then live for them but if you don’t.. live for yourself first and not for anybody else.. we are all here on earth on borrowed time.. when your time is gone.. thats it. live your life my people

Bad belle (jealousy) is such an epidemic in #Nigeria so much energy spent being hateful and envious of someone else’s success or pedigree when that same energy could be applied to making one’s life better or doing positive things.. #GOD help us

The laws of the universe are simple. you put out negative energy, it always comes back i personally have never met a prosperous hater but i guess for some people there is a warped pleasure in spiteful envy nothing good can come from a heart of hatred and jealousy #facts.”
