His recent transfer move of £198m from Barcelona to PSG makes him the most expensive footballer on earth. He is set to earn a staggering sum of £500,000 at the Parc des Princes weekly.
The weekly wage works out at roughly: £71,428 a day, £2,976 an hour, £50 a minute, and 82 pence a second.
Confused? Let me break it down in Naira.
As at the time of writing this article, a British pound is worth approximately N480.
PSG paid £198m to sign Neymar. Therefore,
> £198m = N95,040,000,000 (ninety-five billion, forty million naira)
> Weekly wage of £500,000 = N240,000,000 (two hundred and forty million naira)
The weekly wage works at roughly:
> £71,428 a day = N34,285,440 (thirty-four million, two hundred and eighty five thousand, four hundred and forty naira)
> £2,976 an hour = N1,428,480 (one million, four hundred and twenty eight thousand, four hundred and eighty naira)
> £50 a minute = N24,000 (twenty four thousand naira)
> 82 pence a second = N393.6 (three hundred and ninety-three naira, six kobo).
> In a month, Neymar will earn N960,000,000 (nine hundred and sixty million naira).
> In a year, Neymar will earn N12,480,000,000 (twelve billion, four hundred and eighty million naira).
Isn't this amazing?
This underscores the very importance of pursuing our dreams even in difficult circumstances.
When God wants to bless you, he will not bless your certificate, what He will bless is your *passion*. That is why you have to pursue your dreams at all cost.
That was what God meant in Proverbs 18:16.
"A man's gift makes room (open doors) for him and brings him (access) before great men" (Proverbs 18:16, ESV Emphasis Added).
Don't let the only skill you develop in your 4-5years in the Higher Institution be prayer alone. Remember, there is #Holy_Ghost_Power and there is also #Man_Power. Prayer will not substitute for lack of skill, neither will skill substitute for prayer. True spirituality is the ability to strike a balance between your natural and your supernatural.
If you are passionate about Engineering or any other formal disciplines, give it your all by studying hard to ensure you emerge the top 5 in that field...
But then, not everybody is designed to be an engineers or a doctors. Formal education (I.e School) will attempt to put a square peg in a round hole. The school system will try to label you 'Dumb' because you failed a course, but you must never allow that get into you. You must be determined to pursue your dream. Develop that thing that comes naturally to you. It's your talent! Never allow the temporary mishaps of today make you lose sight of your true self. When you become a figure to be reckoned with tomorrow, nobody will ask if you can solve dy/dx, so keep working at your passion.
Today, develop that gift, passion and talent inside of you. It will take you places where your certificate may not take do.
"School rewards those who keep the rules, life rewards those who break the rules" - Robert Kiyosaki (New York Times Bestselling Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad).
Like Neymar, invest in your personal development and pursue your dreams, and success will come chasing after you.
