UN-HEALTHY RIVALRY: WHAT APC AND PDP ARE NOT TELLING NIGERIANS.
If the
general election had been held on February 14th 2015 Nigerians would
have known who their next President is, but the power that be coupled with some
administrative laxity on the part of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
decided to shift the date till March 28th 2015. The power-play and
propaganda witnessed during the campaign period is enough to throw the country
into confusion but majority of Nigerian populace has grown thick skin to the unpleasant
antecedents of the political class. In this article, my major concern is not to
juxtapose the strength of the two major political parties but to bring to the
fore one of the key sector of the economy ignored by the political gladiators
in their campaign and that key factor is not other than HEALTH SECTOR.
Let me start
with the age long saying that ‘HEALTH IS
WEALTH’ and as we all know that without fitness, health and agility the body is
just like a car without an engine therefore it could hardly perform optimally.
I have been following up with the camaraderie and deceptions in the name of
campaigns and manifestos by the PDP and
APC respectively, the greater part of their message is centered upon
taking over power and retaining power at all cost from one another. To whom
much is given, much is expected, Nigerians do not expect less from Government
in certain areas of social welfare like Health, Security, Electricity, Basic Education,
Road and other basic infrastructures. Therefore it will not be too much to ask
the Government at all levels to provide FREE medical services to all the
citizens of this great nation considering the vast and abundant wealth at our
disposal, also taking into cognizance the colossal thievery and corruption
going on in the corridor of power, this amount in billions of dollars are either
being stolen, siphoned, laundered, mismanaged and corruptly diverted into
private pockets of our leaders is enough to provide FREE MEDICAL CARE for
everyone in this Nation. However, our leaders both the present FG led by the
PDP and the opposition parties largely led by APC are complacent on this issue
by not providing enough for the Health system to function effectively.
PATRICK SAWYERR
of Liberia really expose the lag in the Health management system of this
country when he came with the EBOLA virus into the country last year August 2014,
save for the fire brigade approach of the Lagos State Government, Nigeria would
have been worst hit by the lethal virus. According to the World Health Organization
(WHO) standard of doctor-patient ratio 1:600, Nigeria currently posts a poor
doctor-patient ratio of 1:3500. In the last 6months I have had the cause to

We’ll kill 20 for each police life lost during elections - Controversial Police AIG Mbu - Premium Times Nigeria
“If one of my men is killed, I shall kill twenty of them but don’t shoot first,” Mr. Mbu said. “If they shoot you, shoot back in self-defence. Anybody who fires you, fire him back in self-defence.”
Could this statement credited to a Top Police Hierarchy member be true? This is unbecoming of our Police Institutions.
Time will tell...

Are you an active
user of PAYPAL payment system, do you buy things online such as software, e-books,
clothes, shoes, or do you pay for online services like tuition fees, seminar

HOW TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS ON THE SIDE
A. It’s often easier to start a new
business while you are still doing your day job because what you love doing
might be just what a lot of customers out there are willing to pay for.

brand new business. If you are the type that is creative, just identify one of
your talents and develop it to its full potentials.
C. Try and experiment your ideas and initiatives
while still holding a full time paid job. The best time to experiment is when
you still have an option to start or not
D. Start with family members and people

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO SUCCEED WITH INTERNET MARKETING?
Anyone going into Internet marketing always wants to know how long it will take to find success. While success can be different for each person, the underlying question beneath it all is, “How long will it be until I start making steady money?”
The answer to that is that it’s different for every person because it depends on your idea of success as well as many other factors. Some of the other factors involved will even vary from marketer to marketer.
You might be able to see your first sale the very first week that you’re in business as a marketer, yet on the flip side of that fast first week sale, you could toil all year long before you ever see the first dime for all of your efforts.
What is it that makes the difference between faster profits and having to wait? One of the factors could be the way you’ve set up the business - the model that you use in your strategy for success.
Another factor could be how much time you have to put into the business. Obviously, the more time you have to work the business, the faster you’ll reach each goal that you set for your monetary success.
It also depends on how quickly you can put into practice each step that you need to take to set up the

WHEN WILL YOU FIND TIME TO WORK AN ONLINE BUSINESS?
How many
times have we all said, “If only I had more time then I could get more done in
my online business?” The solution is not getting more time - we all have the
same amount. The key is to manage the time we do have and make it work more
effectively for us.
Even if you
think you don’t have time to take on anything else, you might be surprised to
discover how much time you’re actually wasting during the day. You can start an
online business whether you hold down a full time job or not.
Sometimes
when it comes to starting a business, many people have the mental picture that
it’s all or nothing - that in order to be their own boss, they have to take the
plunge, quit their day job and put all of their effort into

WHO IS STARTING THEIR OWN ONLINE BUSINESS IN 2015?
Starting an online business is one of the smartest
moves you can make to invest in your future. Now more than ever, people are
putting their ideas into practice and becoming first time entrepreneurs.
Beginning a new business owner in today’s world is
much easier than it was even ten years. Booming online businesses make up a
huge percent of products sold. It’s evident that e-commerce is here to stay.
Online platforms such as EBAY, AMAZON, WALLMART, ALIBABA, JUMIA, KONGA,
PAYPORTE, SHOPIFY, GTBANK SMEMARKETHUB, KAYMU, TAAFOO, etc have all turn around
the shopping experience throughout the world.
The beauty of running an online business is that the
start-up costs are very low - you can even start some businesses without having
to come up with any money at all. Young or old, people of all ages can create a
business they love from whatever they’re passionate about. Whether it’s selling
antique pieces of history, gift ideas or selling services, there’s a niche
tailor made for your talents.
So who are the people who are breaking free from
their ordinary routines, or from their cubicles and taking control of their
lives? Many of the people who are first time entrepreneurs are moms. Whether
they’re stay at home moms or currently work in an office, mothers make up a
large majority of those running Internet businesses.
Putting their years of expertise from both life and
business to work for
Getting a Second Job for the Short Term
Working two
jobs is quickly becoming the norm instead of the exception. Many people even work three jobs. More than 17% of Americans presently work
more than one job and that number is increasing yearly. With the spiraling costs of fuel and food
it’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet on one income.
Many jobs
are yours for the taking but may not suit your tastes. Jobs at vocational centers are easy to come by
but most are filled by teenagers who are only there for the short term. Unless you’re planning to ultimately get into
restaurant management fast food jobs are typically not for the long term but
could fill the bill in the interim.
Working as a
freelance person however can yield some nice dough especially for a popular outfit
with wider coverage. Plus, it’s an
excellent place to make contacts and get the word out that you’re looking to
upgrade your employment status. Doing a
good job at wherever you’re working will get you noticed.
Examine
yourself. What are you good at? What are your talents, hobbies, likes and
dislikes? If you’re musical, search for
a job in the music field such as a music store.
If art is your forte, you

FAMILY BUSINESS VALUES
I was watching an NTA program this morning and saw Chinyere Kesko who is a female furniture maker in the south eastern part of the country, she was mentored by her husband who is also a furniture maker too. She has carved a niche for herself in the furniture industry.
Lesson 1: whether you are a male or female, there is NO limit to what area of business you can exploit.
Lesson 2 : You can be part of your spouse business in a lot of way, like i am the brand and business development manager of my wife's fashion business and am loving the challenge of how she serves her customers right.
Lesson 3: Its been generally agreed that people like those persons who are seen as doing service expected to be done by the opposite gender. e.g Female mechanic in V.I Lagos, Male hairstylist, Lady cobbler in Allen Ikeja, and also Chinyere Lady furniture maker.
Start something unusual today to receive an uncommon acceptance in the business cycle.

Today, tens of thousands of people are considering starting a home based business, and for good reasons. On average, people can expect to have two and three careers during their work life. Those leaving one career often think about their second or third career move being to their own home. People who have been part of the traditional nine-to-five work force and are on the verge of retiring from that life are thinking of what to do next. The good news: Starting a homebased business is within the reach of almost anyone who wants to take a risk and work hard.
