FAILURE AS AN EXPERIENCE TO DOUBLE UP EFFORTS.

People react to failure in one of two ways,either they get scared and give up or they take that failure as a learning experience and they kind of use that experience to redouble their efforts.

CBN, Dangote, others seek entrepreneurship revolution - Vanguard News

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); Chairman, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; Chairman, Honeywell Group, Oba Ayoola Otudeko; Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa and other eminent Nigerians have called for ways to pursue revolutionalising entrepreneurship in Nigeria.

*Alhaji Aliko Dangote

They argued that entrepreneurial development in Nigeria remains a far cry when compared to other developing countries in the world noting that for the economy to grow, there should be more focus on the private sector and less reliance on big corporations.

report examines the duplicitous complicity of handlers of Nigeria’s
economy in the emerging economic crisis occasioned by the fall in the
price of crude oil. It then concludes that Nigerian must prepare for a
long night of hardship because some of the measures being put in place
to restore confidence would come with much pain and less gain

The Acting Director, Development Finance Department of CBN, Mr Mudashir Olaitan, disclosed this at a workshop organised by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) for business editors and finance correspondents in Kashina.

10 THINGS NO ONE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT BEING A SELF-EMPLOYED/AN ENTREPRENEUR.

LESS RESPECT: - People often think you are not serious by leaving CERTAINTY for UNCERTAINTY whenever you leave your paid Job to start a small scale business. Some will even assume you are not really doing anything because you are not as busy or dedicated as people who work in a paid employment.
FAILURE IS MOSTLY CONSTANT: - In every entrepreneurial journey, there is the failure fear factor inherent in being on your own. The decision to carry out certain task is solely on the entrepreneur therefore it sometimes does not work out as planned for some start-ups.
VACATION IS NOT CERTAIN: - Until your business is fully stabilized, there might not be a single vacation throughout the year. Working round the clock is a common trait of all entrepreneurs.
THE HIGHER YOU GO THE TOUGHER IT BECOMES: - The longer the period you stay in working for yourself the tougher it becomes to go back to paid employment. Since I left GtBank in 2009, I have found it harder

PROSPECTIVE IDEAS: 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DEVELOP WHILE STILL IN PAID EMPLOYMENT

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DEVELOP WHILE STILL IN PAID EMPLOYMENT

1. RESEARCH AN IDEA: - Figure out an idea that will be borne out of passion or special skill you have mastered in the course of performing your duties. Analyze the market, talk to prospective customers about what they would like, check your competitors strength and weaknesses to see how you can tap into the opportunity therein the business idea of your choice.

2. UNDERTAKE LEGAL INCORPORATION: - Even while you are still involved in paid employment, it is important to have it at the back of your mind that the company belongs to somebody else no matter how much effort you dissipated in making it grow. Therefore, registering a business name or incorporation should be undertaken as soon as the fund is available, these will prepare you for the challenges ahead and it gives you a sense of ownership of a prospective business.

3. CREATE A WEB AND MEDIA PRESENCE: - Try to build a web presence and create a media platform where you can launch your start-up. It is an avenue to test the pulse of your prospective customers.

4. GET A BANK ACCOUNT FOR YOUR BUSINESS NAME OR INCORPORATION:- It is important to get a bank account for your registered business so as to lay a solid foundation for a wider acceptance as it is more convenient and safer for people to deal with a legal entity rather than non-legal entity.

5. INITIATE A SOCIAL MEDIA TOOL: - A Facebook page, Twitter handles; a Blog account; Instagram; LinkedIn; and other social media platforms are almost free to initiate and adopted as a veritable tool for start-ups.

6. DEVELOP A BRAND MODEL: - Look for a simple brand model to adopt in the early part of your business idea, you can outsource the personalization of your Logo, color, theme, brand statement; etc to a professional who will do at a cost. Fiverr is a sure avenue to get the cheapest offer for these kinds of services.

5 WAYS TO START A BUSINESS WITHOUT CAPITAL

5 WAYS TO START A BUSINESS WITHOUT CAPITAL

1. CREATE SOMETHING/NEEDS: - Try to make something from your passion. The things that you will do ordinarily without investing little or no fund at all could be the magic wand you have been ignoring ever since. You can market them on OLX, TRADESTABLE, NAIRALAND, SHOPIFY, FACEBOOK, etc. There are so many free platforms for exhibiting your product.

2. BE A RESELLER: - So many companies require distributors or reseller for their products; you can plug in into this opportunity and start earning an income.

3. SELL YOUR OWN SERVICE :- Are you also gifted in personal services such as Master of Ceremony, Motivational Speaking, Marriage counseling, Training, etc. All these and many more could be a goldmine if well packaged.

5. LIVE TURKEY/CHICKEN :- They are domestic fowl kept for their eggs or meat, especially a young one.Live Turkey or chicken is a step ahead in the sharing of gifts during the yuletide season. Many people always look forward to this period of the year when they will show off with their giant live Turkey/chicken to their neighbours and families

BANK CHARGES: A FRAUD OR A FEE?

I would like to crave the readers’ indulgence to permit me express my opinion in the simplest language as a layman who does not understand the workings, laws and rules of the financial institutions. Having had a brief stint as a marketer in one of the new generation bank I can confidently analyze the drama associated with customer’s complaints whenever issues of spurious charges and illegal deductions rears its ugly head while in the employment of the bank. As a staff of the bank in those ‘BANK TARGET’ era of banking operations, not many of us really understand the pain and emotional difficulties experienced by bank’s customers whenever they complain of deductions as miserly as N100, but five years down the lane I was out of that corridor of the financial institutions and I know where the shoe really pinches. I can tell the values of peanuts and crumbs as an entrepreneur, I know what it cost to gather resources, to build funds in your bank account and ultimately smile home at the end of every project.

Consequently, there are some bad times for entrepreneurs when N100 will make a difference and save an ugly situation such as dishonoring a cheque as a result of deductions never envisaged. I have witnessed many a times customers closure of their bank account because some charges the bank could not explain were carried out on the aggrieved customer’s account. Whether the bank apologizes or return the funds back to the account will still not hold back the ill feelings associated with these manipulations by the banks. My wife had an experience with her bank sometime on a Saturday in April 2014, she attempted to withdrew money from FCMB ATM Akute Ogun State,and

CAN-KERWORMS: ORITSEJAFOR CAN OF WORM

“Seven Deadly Sins

Wealth without work

Pleasure without conscience

Science without humanity

Knowledge without character

Politics without principle

Commerce without morality

Worship without sacrifice.”—Mahatma Ghandhi.

Much has been said about the CAN President in the person of Ayo Oritsejafor, he (Ayo) ought to know by now that the whole story about the botched arm deal is a bad omen to his priesthood. How else in this world would it have been imagined if the Pope of the Catholic Church is involved in illegal or black market purchase of Arms and Ammunitions for the Italian Government? It is unholy, ungodly and sacrilegious.

What I seems not to fathom of the whole saga is the fact that the Nigerian Government has evasively hidden the identities of the supposedly two officials alongside the Israeli ,Eyal Mesiaka caught with $9.3million on board the Private jet of the CAN President in South-Africa. Were the government officials involved in the failed illegal arms deal on government payroll or could it be they were only hired as consultants for the sting operation to procure arms for the Government or Christian Association of Nigeria?

When will the government asked the church to formally update and modify its memorandum and articles of association to a profit oriented entity since Oritsejafor has a corporate organization with which he leased the private jet in question?

BANKS AND WAYS OF REAPING CUSTOMERS OFF!

CAVEAT EMPTOR: Are you aware Nigerian banks has so many ways of reaping us off our hard earned money?

If there is any discrepancies you have noticed in your account(s) and it seems the bank is not doing anything about,please speak up about it,blow the trumpet until the issue is addressed.
Shortly,i will be revealing an experience i had about ATM issuance charge from the banks,it is another "DAYLIGHT ROBBERY" from the banks.

NEO-SECESSION AGENDA: BOKO-HARAM DELUSIONAL MICRONATION CALLED CALIPHATES

NEO-SECESSION AGENDA: BOKO-HARAM DELUSIONAL MICRONATION CALLED CALIPHATES.

As of the time writing this piece, I was wondering if the title will capture what goes on in my mind touching on declaration of a caliphate by the outlawed Boko-haram sect. However, I will be requesting for the complete document on the Oath of Office sworn to by the President of the Federal Republic Nigeria, at least the Freedom of information Act is yet to be abrogated so I can make use of that tool. The most discernible part of the Oath of Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is to ‘’Protect the Territorial Integrity of the CONGLOMERATION called Nigeria”. In the light of the foregoing, how effortless was the Boko-Haram able to declare a caliphate in Nigerian Territory when we still have President Jonathan steering the affairs of the all-powerful, populous, flushest, and most influential black nation in the entire world?

Few weeks back, Boko-Haram declared a caliphate in Gwoza town in the Northern part of the country and even made a mockery of the Nigerian Army by showing us a video of the Nigerian troops squirting to neighbouring country, Cameroon, a move the Nigerian Military authority tagged ‘’Tactical’’. When will the Nigerian Government heed to calls from patriots, soldiers, foreign observers and wives of the Soldiers that the troops be better equipped with modern combat weapons to confront the seditious elements? About 480 souls of our darling soldiers could have been squandered had they not taken to their heels and seek refuge in Cameroon. In a contrast development in UK according to CNN, Scotland will this month decide in referendum whether it wants to go it alone as an independent country and split away from the United Kingdom. Also, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) led by Ralph Nwazuruike have established a currency and proclaiming an independent state called BIAFRA.

Dr Judy Lattas of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia defines a micronation as a self declared entity that’s either virtual or very small (though some are actually quite large when compare with microstate such as Monaco or the Vatican).Dr Lattas is of the opinion that ‘’there are incredible differences among them and no clear sense of unity at all’’. In addition, she opine that ‘’Many reject the notion of micro-nations outright. Some are secessionists and some aren’t. Some are more like virtual-game playing, some are art projects, some are very cyberpunk and others are quite serious political protests or indigenous sovereignty movements’’.

However, some of these micronations are borne of out of dissenting agitations for ‘Independence’ desires. Take the issue of Boko-Haram and Biafra in Nigeria, the former is clamouring for a non-western ideologies and religious secession while the latter is desirous of independence as a result of perceived jaundiced resource control system in Nigeria. All of these generally follows a secession model and take inspiration from the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (signed in 1933 by the United States and numerous Latin American countries) and clearly states that:

There must be grievance
There must be members
There must be some sort of declaration
There must be perceived wrong against a dissenting group

And if the group claim goes unanswered –you don’t, for example, receive any kind of formal rejection-then it’s assumed by default that you’ve succeeded in seceding. Boko-Haram has been a major phenomenon in Nigerian history, they have succeeded in exposing the laxity and rot in our security system making us vulnerable to external aggression if not addressed promptly. Sometimes ago, MASSOB militant group was able to gain access to the Government house in Enugu causing a serious storm in a tea-cup, were it not for the timely intervention of Military back-up of Governor Sulivan Chime of Enugu State, they would have succeeded in overthrowing the Government and many lives would have been lost in the struggle for emancipation of BAIFRA state. Boko-Haram would have wreak havoc on the state of Borno if they had half chance what MASSOB did in Enugu Government house, they are the offshoot of Al-qaeda and other terrorist group such as ISIS of Iraq and Syria. Their modus operandi is to coerce and maim innocent souls in the name of religion and hatred passion for western education.

Consequently, we are experiencing a new world order in secession which calls for global attention. It is irrevocably becoming a wish to just wake up from slumber, raise an army of dissenting voice and declare a MICRONATION (Vatican or Monaco), CALIPHATE (Boko-haram), STATE (ISIS), etc. In my own opinion, I do not really see the micronations surviving beyond the borders of their wishful desires, because the world itself keeps getting smaller and becoming a global village as a result of direct/indirect international relationships brought about by factors such as:

Trade,
Education,
Technologies,
Marriages,
Exchange Programmes
Religion
Others

In conclusion, Boko-haram should never be deceived into believing that Nigeria as a country will tolerate their boisterous tirade that a caliphate has been twisted out in the Northern part of Nigeria, the shindig revelry will soon be over as President Jonathan will kick-start his campaign for re-election soon and he really needs to abide with the National Pledge which goes thus:

I pledge to Nigeria my country

To be Faithful Loyal and Honest

To serve Nigeria with all my Strength

To defend her UNITY and UPHOLD her Honour and Glory

So help me God.

With the National Pledge in President Jonathan’s mind, Boko-Haram is truly in a state of disillusionment; Boko-haram had better have a re-think and retrace their steps before Jonathan’s campaign train gets to Borno state. Perhaps, Boko-haram could equally visit some micronations around the world and tap into the knowledge with which they created their mini empires. Here are the lists of such micronations:

The Republic Of Molossia ( US state of Nevada)
The Republic of Kugelmugel (Austria)
The Free Republic Of Alcatraz (Italy)
Freetown Christiana (Copenhagen Denmark)
The Principality of Hutt River (West Australia)
Akhziv Land (Israel)
The Naminara Republic ( South Korea)
The Republic of Uzupis ( Lithuania)

MAKING MONEY FROM PALM-OIL BUSINESS

1. How You Can Make ₦1,000,000 From Palm Oil Business in Nigeria

You can make over 1 million naira this season storing and reselling red palm oil
Nigeria-Red-Palm-Oil

I am going to show you exactly how to do it. It's not difficult at all; in fact it is one of the easiest business you can do in Nigeria and make quick money within four months. I happen to know places in Nigeria where you can get this product at cheap prices and place where you can sell it at good price, I am going to make everything clear to you on this post...

What is Red Palm Oil? Red palm oil is natural oil extract from palm three fruit. You and I knows the importance of red palm oil in Nigeria. No home that doesn't cook with it and no tribe or religion that forbids it. It is generally accepted and widely used, not only in Nigeria but around the world.

Using palm oil for cooking has greater health benefits over the vegetable oil as it is said to have high concentration of vitamin E in the finest proportion. Your body tends to get better health benefits as a result of the vitamin E present in the red palm oil rather than taking a commercial vitamin E capsule. It is also rich in carotene and possess strong healing power.

Why Trade on Red Palm Oil

Palm oil is one of the commodity constantly in high demand in Nigeria. There is never a time it wouldn't be a hot cake in the market and it is consumed at the same rate as rice and garri. Palm oil is currently sold in Lagos and other major cities across the country at N6,000 for 25liters but if you go to the farm areas where it is produced in quantity, you can get the same 25liters at N4,000.

There are even a time of the year you may get this product at N2,500 - N3,000 per 25litres. If you can get it in quantity during the time of surplus and store it for some months, you will sell at 100% profit. It is usually surplus around December to April and sells at the highest around July to September.

If you invest N500,000 and wait for 4 months, you will be making profit of another N500,000 without any substantial effort. That is a good deal by all standard and the more money you invest, the more profit you make.

If you decides to trade all season that will even be better. All you need to do is to find out where it's being processed in much quantity and buy at cheap price from there, transport it to the city and sell at good price, repeat your journey as often as you can and make money all year round.

So, how do you trade on this commodity and make money?

1. Secure a Shop - You will need a shop or any safe place for storage. If you have your own house, that will be nice, just dedicate one room for the storage. However, it will be better if you can rent a shop specifically for it preferably near the market.

Red Palm Oil Ready to be Transported

2. Look for Places to Buy - There are many places you can get palm oil very cheap and in great quantity in Nigeria. It is available in bulk in various parts of Ondo State.It is also available in Edo State but the king of original, high quality palm oil is Ebonyi State.Travel round the states and source from the various local markets and local palm oil processors.

Transport Your Goods - If you have your own truck or van, that will be fantastic but if not, you'd have to make do with hiring. Buy everything you want to buy, get a truck to transport it to your base and store it in your shop.

Sell Your Goods - Wait until the price goes up then you open your shop and sell at a very good price. It is a perfect way to invest money instead of keeping it to the bank with peanut paid as interest on fix deposit. It is like buying property and reselling at higher prices later.

If you need additional information on this, drop me a comment below and I will attend to it promptly.

If you know any other places where this item could be gotten cheap and in great quantity, tell us using the comment box below.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

Post by Prospective Ideas.

IT STARTS WITH ME AND YOU.

Do you know that a former President of United States Of America, John F Kennedy stole what was to become the best-known quote of his 1961 inaugural address – from his old headmaster? The Quote goes thus….
'ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU – ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY', Which many of us had heard time and time again.

The essence of this fact finding is not to tell you John F Kennedy stole a quote from his old headmaster, and subsequently used the quote throughout his campaign for presidential election in United States of America. In any case, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan used “I HAD NO SHOE” rhetoric during his campaign in the 2011 Presidential election in Nigeria and won millions of sympathy vote for that statement, ”I had no shoe”. In my quest to see if I could do something about Ebola in Nigeria, I ask what did we not do right in the first place as to allow the scourge of EBOLA threaten our PEACE?

The first thing which came to my mind is Inadequacy of Information dissemination; we did not do enough to raise the consciousness of this dreaded disease called EBOLA.

Secondly, Ignorance is a killer disease; it kills faster than EBOLA itself. With the news all over the world about Ebola, how come our health practitioners still was not prepared for the uneventful EBOLA?

Thirdly, we lack basic facilities to manage this Ebola menace in almost all our health centers, public places, homes and what a view.

Lastly, Government ought to have declared an emergency since the very first day Sawyer brought this Ebola to Nigeria, the ordinary and common people on the street seems not to know that EBOLA is deadlier than CANCER. I suggest the level of orientation and awareness is given top level PRIORITY so at least we can all manage the situation better than what we have presently.

The fight starts from household to public places, Government, parastatals, corporate environments, individuals, etc. It begins with ME and YOU.

'ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU – ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY', WHICH MANY OF US HAD HEARD 'TIME AND TIME AGAIN'.

INTERNET FRAUDS AS AN OPIUM: A CURSE OR A BLESSING?

The Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU) has arrested the above named internet fraudsters who specialized in designing organisation’s websites and using same to defraud unsuspecting members of the society.

A petition dated 22^nd August 2013, received from OPEC FUND for International Development alleged that a website designed as “OFID Scholarship Website” with OFID name and logo has been used to defraud innocent Nigerian applicants. That in the website, applicants were required to pay N2,500.00 as an application fee and over 2,000 applicants responded and paid the fees through the First Bank Account Number 2020874607 and Access Bank Account Number 0056941009 with the name OFID WSAS NG.

He stated that he participated in pasting and publicizing the fake OFID Scholarship Program.

He stated that while in school, he lived in the same Lodge with the 1^st suspect and his mates/friends always come to him for educational assistance because of his intelligence. That he once fell victim for scholarship known as EDIADS, which made the 1^st suspect to approach him and got some information regarding that one, which he believed gave him an idea on how to design OFID Scholarship Website. He further stated that he lent the 1^st suspect the sum N12,000.00 for hosting the Website. He later gave him N20,000.00 in return and informed him that the fraud was successful.

According to him, he offered professional advice to the 1^st suspect and lent him the sum of N10,000.00 and was later given N100,000.00 as his own share. He confessed that he knew from the onset that it was fraud aimed at defrauding innocent applicants, since there was no authority from OFID.

The Commissioner of Police, Police Special Fraud Unit, CP Umar F. Idris advises the general public to verify the genuineness of any on-line advert before parting with their money.
