I live in Nigeria, and i can tell you for free that we are a very industrious people, so we usually find a way to survive and succeed too, but our government is leaving no crumbs for the masses and there is almost no growth and development going on here.
It depends on what security you are talking about, since we are in this board, i would take it to be job security. If you are an employee, you can never feel secure, there is always a downsizing right around the corner or something similar to that. I only feel secure when i run my own business and grow my own investment.
More money!
