1. lol! It's called leverage. . . Risky? Yes!! But honestly, to get real and fast advancement , you have to think about using OPT (Other People's Time) or OPM (Other People's Money). The honest truth is that you are either using someone else's leverage OR you are the leverage. Check your job out, you are your employer's leverage. Look at your money deposited in your account doing nothing. The borrowers are leveraging on it. . . . So i think its about time you leveraged on someone else. . . but please be careful. . .

2. Secondly, you'll be surprised that most banks have such packages for willing investors. I'm currently on one like that. Normally, i probably wont be divulging stuff like this, but hey, we are here to share knowledge. . . aren't we? The shares in question are used as collateral (plus your initial contribution which is a percentage of the facility), although you have control, you can only trade them (most times through the bank's brokerage house). . . but you only obtain full ownership (as in transfer to you) when you liquidate the facility. I read somewhere that one difference between the rich and the poor is that while the poor seek ownership, the rich seek control. Now thats a BIG difference.

Aquarius. . . .

Thanks! My admiration of you is 150% more! The GREAT Opoks!

Hey Bros!. . . i won't mind being a part of this o! That is if the real estate deal is for commercial purposes o. . . and not for building your house only , heard of a couple of young guys (below 30) that did one real estate deal and sold off with about N1bn (or so) profit. . . I know some of you might sneer at this possibility, but the honest truth is that what your mind can't see, your hand can't grasp. . . So Opoks! you can holla at me on folayemianifowoshe@gmail.com. I'm sure that Jisi can cook up something. . . as long as the plan is tight. . .

I really don't agree with this line of thought. . . Please by all means be a BIG SUPER spender, just make sure you are spending on the RIGHT things! I'm surprised at people who keep their money in their accounts and when it comes to private placements, they SPEND a little because' they don't want to take risks. There's someone i look up to, she inspires me a lot, when explaining how she made her BIG break, she said she wanted to purchase a block of shares from the existing shareholders, she approached a bank, obtained a HUGE facility and purchased each share at N3.00 plus a little premium. She held onto these shares for 15 months and sold them off at N64.00 a piece. If she was a SUPER SAVER, trust me, i don't think she would have made it that BIG. Why would i want to save for 20 years for an event that may never happen? When i can SPEND at once, have a little bit of temporal HBP and savour the experience of having to do something interesting. Yes! Saving is good, when compared to being wasteful, but having to focus on SPENDING keeps one in a perpetual state of stagnation (or at best your money is making 3% per annum. . .) I would rather focus on being a BIG SPENDER, as long as i SPEND on profitable ventures! I must confess, it may not work the way you plan all the time, but that will not stop me from trying again. Personally, i rarely keep funds in my account. . . anytime i go to the bank, i always wonder what's going through the mind of the person paying me when they look at me in my designer suit and then compare to my account balance. . . . . . na them sabi

Yeah! So please grow with us, because we are going places!!!

Yemi, my dearest brother, you do have a way with words, don't you? But all I see is intelligence displayed in your discourses.

[b]To start with, the issue of spending versus saving: in both of these books: The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason, and Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki, it is not saving that is extolled. Rather, it is the building up of one's asset column to such a level that spending does not eat away at it. In other words, a person may spend all he likes, but his strongly built assets still protect him. It reminds me of one of Jesus' classic statements: The wise man built his house on the rock, and even when the storms came, and pushed at it, the house stood firm. Good thinking, Yemi.

I'm intrigued to know you are an Aquarius, Yemi. My bestfriend (is he still my bestfriend?) is an Aquarius. Aquarians are easy-going, friendly, fun-loving, endearing people. They crave solid relationships, and are very compassionate and giving; they thrive in situations of camaraderie; are creative, romantic and sweet. They can be altruistic, idealistic; and they do have fine taste. Like Libras and Geminis, they are controlled by the wind, which makes them intelligent, creative, and good with people. They are outgoing and gregarious as well.

Sometime ago, I fused the Zodiac (12 signs) with the Enneagram (9 signs), and came up with the Catparian Classification of 48 personality types.

If I guess correctly, I think we both are almost the same personality. I think you are a Four (a Romantic) on the Enneagram, and then you have told me you are an Aquarius on the Zodiac, which means you are what I call an S2. I am originally a Four (a Romantic) on the Enneagram as well, and I am a Libra, what I call an S1. The three S Zodiac signs according to Catparian Classification are: Libra S1; Aquarius S2, and Gemini S3. They are called S signs (Spirituality signs) because they are controlled by the wind, or noumena, as opposed to phenomena.

Hence, according to the Catparian Classification, you are an Se*Se/S2, and I am an Se*Se/S1. And these types share very many core values, and respond similarly to situations. So, if I am correct, then we are very like each other. We've got a lot in common, Yemi. You must believe me when I say so.

I enjoyed chatting with you the other day. Though I don't know if you've given further thought to what I told you concerning the Catparian Society, or indeed anything else for that matter. I look forward to chatting with you sometime in the future. Who knows, we may get to do certain things together, ehn Yemi? The future they say is always pregnant. Anyway, say me hi to your one true love. wink

One love, brother. Have I just rapped you? Ha ha ha. Whatever.[/b]

Re: Which Way Nlng? by kuwena(m): 2:25pm On Apr 19, 2008

Let's get back to this whole issue of saving and spending. You know, Yemi is 100% right. I had to read that post of his three times to repeatedly endorse the wisdom contained therein. (Yemi, you really are wise; I must say this again).

You know, the relationship between spending in the way Yemi stipulated (spending on risk assets) and saving, is like the relationship between getting a job and controlling an enterprise (Yemi, I must again defer to your dichotomy of ownership and control, which is akin to the dichotomy between a CEO and a Chairman of a Board; the difference between Gates and Ballmer; between Akingbola and Obieri). I agree with you in that spending on high-yield risk is better than saving in the bank. The former is brave, and the latter is fearful (and recall that His Excellency would say that 'fortune favours the brave').

AlfaPrime:

@Annify
Of course, You can never compare saving with investment. I didn't mean dry, meaningless saving. That would be akin to miserliness! What I meant was saving as a means of raising capital for an investment venture. Actually, I take my guidance in this regard from the the Lord Jesus' parable of the talents. Notice that it was only after one servant had hidden his talent in the ground that the master asked him why he couldn't have at least saved the money with the bankers. In other words, saving is the least You could do with your resources. the first and most preferred is actually to invest it. Fine, but u can't really build up a good enough capital for the investment without some period of saving, and note also that the basic personal fiscal discipline needed for both saving and investment are the same.

@Opoks
You're welcome back warmly, brother! I feel You when I consider the reasons u just revealed as what made u trip off for so long. In fact, I get the impression that, (like I do at times) during your comatose period u were actually still visiting the thread regularly without making contributions. At times it's a bit difficult to break the flow of a certain conversation on the thread without appearing a bit rude, but it's ok. At least you're fully back with the house now.

@Jisi
You said something that just caught my attention. can u reach me on onyx@bornagain.com? I'd like to discuss some business with you.

@Kennosky et al
The intensive training course I had throughout this week gave me an idea of how it must have been with u all this while. keep the dream high!

Stay blessed all. It's Friday again and promising to be a great weekend, especially for those of us all who have been grappling with increasing mountains of work!

But let me make a case for saving, especially at the initial stage of growing one's wealth. To do this, I will borrow supporting arguments from George Clason and Robert Kiyosaki, and from AlfaPrime quoted above.

If you have read The Richest Man in Babylon, you would recall that the chief character lost practically all his money in his first attempt at investing. And why did this happen? Because he had not studied the investment terrain well enough. He just believed he could sponsor certain trades, and ended up wasting both his time and his money. Robert Kiyosaki also said in his book that before one begins investing, he should understudy a guru. So, here's my first case for saving at the start of an investment career: saving up your money gives you time to learn what to do with it later, by way of investment.

Let me use an analogy for my second point: Imagine you were told that toadskins had become an important source of export, and if you bought them at 10 naira, you could export them for 100 dollars (12 thousand naira); now if you had only 60 naira, you could get only 6 toadskins, and then you could make only 600 dollars (72 thousand naira); but if you waited awhile to save up a little more (and in that period study the business more), you would find that you could buy more toadskins and increase your profit. Also, in that period, the prices could go up, making you get more by way of income net costs; and you could even learn other ways to maximize your gains apart from cashing in on price levels. So you see. Hence, the second case I am making for saving is this: saving makes you have more capital to invest with at the right time.

Let me make one final argument for saving, and that is toeing AlfaPrime's way. Yemi, you must agree that there are some people who do not have the knack for making money that certain others do. In their own case, saving would be the wisest alternative. And he was right to use the analogy of the talents. If the man with only one talent were to have deposited that money in the bank, it sincerely would have yielded interest no matter how small, than lazily wasting it as he did. So the third case I am making for saving is: for those who do not have either the interest or the skill to do business, saving especially in mutual funds, or a Pension plan is always a wise way to beat poverty.

I ope with theez fyu points of main I av bin abul to confwuse you that ~~savings is betta than spending~~ lipsrsealed

Re: Which Way Nlng? by kuwena(m): 3:18pm On Apr 19, 2008

Lastly, before I sign out, I want to get back to Tommyex's success.

Recall what we said at the start of April. Both His Excellency and I said that this April was going to be a smash hit for us. And what do we have, a faithful (very faithful) brother indeed has had his dreams actualized in this month of April. (Clears throat first):

For he's a jolly good fellow (2ce)
For he's a jolly good felloooooooow!
And so say say all of us - hurray!
And so say all of us (2ce)
For he's a jolly good fellow (2ce)
For he's a jolly good felloooooooow!
And so say all of us!

(Clears throat again) Hence, in the name of His Excellency, Kenosky, Godfather and Prefect of Which Way Nlng? I say a big 'Congratulations, and jubilations; celebration, in our nation!' Alleluia!

May Yahweh be above you to bless you
Before you to lead you
Beside you to support you
Behind you to shield you;

May you walk and never stumble
May you claim the seats of your enemies
'May no weapon fashioned against you prosper;
All those who rise against you shall fall'
May you swell and grow like the Iroko
May you be favoured and blessed in all you do
May you never lack in anything good
May you have excess and to spare.

Yahweh said to Aaron: This is how you must bless the children of Israel:

May Yahweh bless you and keep you
May he shine his face on you and be gracious to you
May he fill you with joy and give you his peace.

(Then the priest stretches forth his hand in all his glory towards Tommyex and intones):

And may the blessing of Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come down on you and remain with you both now and forever. Amen.

Alleluia Chimlei
Jehova, Chim e mela
Ebe izara epere di ya le
Aga ma achurugi mma mma

Alleluia my God
Jehovah, my God you have done well
As you have answered his (Tommyex's) prayer
I shall bless you forever.

Amen.

We love you, brother; and this is just the beginning of all Yahweh has in store for you. Alleluia!

Rejoice, then; it has pleased him to give you the Kingdom! cheesy

kuwena:

I enjoyed chatting with you the other day. Though I don't know if you've given further thought to what I told you concerning the ~~Catparian Society~~

Catpar---whoa?! grin

. Maybe its just my imagination, but why do i get this feeling of how the "meetings" may be:-

1. We all wear black hooded gowns with red sashes carrying calabashes.
2. Our anthem will probably consist of two words said repeatedly. "heya-humba-heya-humba"
3. The leader has a red drool on the left side of his mouth. (still trying to figure out if its ribena or blood lipsrsealed

)
4. We never read from the Bible. . .
5. and lastly, how come Kuwena gets to be the "Pontius Supremus Emeritus" ? grin

I'm sure you get my drift. . . tongue

. . . . . . Just kidding!. . . . grin

So you see. Hence, the second case I am making for saving is this: [s]saving makes you have more capital to invest with at the right time.[/s]

Precisely my point!! Being sure of the business model - buy toadskins at 10 naira and selling them at 100 dollars, if i had only 60 naira, why would i want to save? this brings me back to my OPM principle. I would loan from a bank (or a friend) at 25 - 50% interest rate, depending on the source. Use my 60 naira as a deposit backing (or collateral of some sort), export my goods, pay the loan and the interest and smile to the bank! Why wait to save until i have enough money? If i am trying to buy time to study the business and then save (keep) my money, its a different ball game. . . but not save my money and then say i'm studying the biz. That's time-wasting. . .

For the final bit, please ask yourself. . .

1. How long will it take you to save N10m?
2. How long will it take you to borrow N10m?

Well, Which would you rather be? That . . . .my friend. . . . is the difference!

and as for not wanting to interrupt the floor of a particular topic/discussion- hmmm! u r wrong this time, u have as much right as anybody to introduce any topic, u ll do well to remember that those issues which u consider trivial are matters which actually allow folks cool off from the pressure of everyday hustle and bustle. I dont know wat to say in this issue of savers, spenders and investers but all i'll say is 'Fortune favours the brave!'

Hello all,
Honestly, i dont know if I am the only one affected by this NITEL strike---I havent been able to log on to the internet. So my best bet is in the mornings when i get to work. Its terrible cry

Alfa, I guess i should give you my email also cos I might not have enough time to sent you a mail, but if i get to see your mail, I can respond. my email; jisidaisy@yahoo.com

Guyz the bottom line here is that investing is like planning for your future. Hold it what am I saying----Investing is planning for your future. And we all know that if we fail to plan we have invarably planned to fail.

I miss y'all. I cant wait for my sever to get back to function( na Visaphone o!)
Tommyex, I am not entertaining. Pls be corrected. I must not forget to say congratulations on your new job. wink

Kenosky, give us gist nah. How was glasgow? ur stay in edinburg was brief. Make una take care. Investment is diverse-----as we say in the bank, you are free to open an account anywhere, and with anyone(chics) but as it is with the corporate world---be careful where and in whom you are investing in grin

cos u know nah----AIDS is real. SARS sef-----even Avian Flu. grin

So Kuwena, forget the 'personality thing' and either join the issue or bring more discussable topics_{other than Zodiac signs & Eneagrams! . . .}

Story of my life. . .

Yes i did. I guess i was just tired of the job and i wasn't happy. I just wasn't happy and it was killing me inside. . .literally. I decided to bite the bullet and went into private business.

You have much more than my courage!!! You have yours!!! I did that because' i was so sure that i was doing the right thing. . . please do not consider this as a command to go and resign o! As for me sha, i knew i wasn't happy and as for me. . . My happiness comes before money. . .

In retrospect, everything worked out fine. I have a job i like, i'm happy and i still run my business. . . . . . what can i say? "The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord. . . "

You kow what, Yemi? I wish that what happened to you would happen to me too. You're one hell of a lucky chap, do you know that? So lucky! You just walked out on your job and went into a thriving business, and then NLNG called you. You are so blessed!

I hate my job with all my heart, and many times I wish I could leave it, but I never can summon the courage. Anytime I say I will resign, there comes this threatening voice within me: 'Resign and do what? Have you forgotten your job is your greatest defence now?' And then the voice within lets out a mocking laughter:

Ha ha ha ha
Haa haa haa haa
Haaa haaa haaa haaa
Resign and do what?
Resign and do what?
Resign and do what?
Ha ha ha ha
Haa haa haa haa
Haaa haaa haaa haaa
Others are looking for job and you want to resign
Others are looking for job and you want to resign
Others are looking for job and you want to resign
Ha ha ha ha
Haa haa haa haa
Haaa haaa haaa haaa
Resign and do what?
Resign and do what?
Resign and do what?
Ha ha ha ha
Haa haa haa haa
Haaa haaa haaa haaa.

The voice mocks me repeatedly. And then I know I am trapped. Yet the psalmist says: 'Save me O God I trust in you.' Phew! Once again, I wish I had your courage. Yemi, I really do.

Aniffy, permit me to say something about the Catparian Society. You know, ever since I was a kid, I have dreamt of starting a cult. This cult mentality is very high with me. Maybe that is even why at my age I don't have a girlfriend, and have never had sex; I may never even marry. My greatest pleasure in every sense seems to derive from the notion of fraternity. Organization of people solidly committed to a purpose: disciplined, structured; you know, the aura of the cult, the love of the brotherhood, the adhesiveness of the bond; the power of the cult.

'Konwa can recall that those days we used to speak on the phone I repeatedly talked to him of establishing a cult. I told him that a cult could go a long way in solving most of our problems. And many cults indeed have. Rosicrucians, Skulls, Grey Masons, Eckists, Sufists; most of these grand societies have solved millions of the world's mysteries; and in every age and time when cults have formed, be they secret or open, many individuals who otherwise would have no reason to be alive, no definite purpose for continued existence and no life chart, have found themselves transformed by wonderful experiences, like Eckist Soul travels; Sufi Introspections; Rosicrucian Revolutions, and a myriad of other New Age Awarenesses, most of which ultimately aim at Human Self Actualization.

The truth is that many of these cults are compatible with modern religion. One can conveniently be a Rosicrucian and a Christian; one can be a Gray Mason and a Catholic Bishop; one can be a Sufi brother and a pastor. One can join the Catparian Society and serve the Christian Yahweh or the Muslim Allah.

I have always treasured the power of congregationality; the influence a multitude of adherents committed to one thing can wield over the world, especially when they are armed with the modern media, like television; they can sell their ideals globally. My vision for the Catpar is simple: self actualization by the separation, development, coordination and transcendence of the human personality, sexuality, spirituality and vocation. I want several young men (and possibly women) who are intelligent, driven, and willing to create positive change to congregate and jointly bring genuine progress to Africa. It has nothing to do with black hoods and red sashes, or mouths pouring either with Ribena or cockerel's blood; it has nothing to do with eerie pontification and needless chanting of humba-hammmer; it has nothing to do with reading or not reading the Holy book of the Christians. All the Catpar seeks is to transform you, and through you, transform the whole world.

Think about it.

Re: Which Way Nlng? by AlfaPrime: 10:59pm On Apr 22, 2008

@All
Good evening Thread! Regards to everyone. Sometimes these days, one tends to wish there were more than 24 hours in a day! So much to do at work that close of business seems most unwelcome at times!

@Kennosky
Reference to your prevoius post, sure everyone has a sort of "right" to alter the topic of discussion or introduce a new topic, but not everyone may feel like doing so. I've actually nothing against the jokes and lighter posts, cos of course I read them all as I follow the thread, so if I don't respond, pls don't interprete it as meaning that I feel it's unwelcome or a waste of time on the thread.

@Kuwena
I didn't ignore you, and am sure no one else did, either. Like I've just said in my starting lines in this post, it's basically been a time issue. sometimes you get to read others' posts but may not be able to reply immediately.

hoever, if I may refer to some more recent posts of yours, with all due respect to your personal beliefs, it may interest you to know that it is highly preferable to commit your life and future into the able hands of God, than to go by what the stars say, don't get me wrong, funny enough, there is an amazing degree of "accuracy" at times with the astrologers, palmists and such like, just as there is a close relationship between time and space, thus making star-gazing a potential avenue for decoding the future (I don't quite have the time nor interest to go into this in detail); but we are expressly enjoined against practising it or any other form of fortune telling in scriptures. Hold on a minute, now! Sounding preachy, right? Well, it wouldn't be the first time I'd be sounding that way to you, I must agree, so I hope you don't lose your cool over it. Just consider these words in the cool of your heart. Several times we have a need to know what the future (either tomorrow, next week, this month, etc) may have in store for us, but because God wants us to live by faith, He prefers us to place implicit faith in Him and trust Him to see us through. In order words, we allow Him to reveal to us through means acceptable to Him, those things concerning our future that He deems fit to let us know, and as for the rest, we simply take them as they come, KNOWING that He is well able to bring us through whatever He brings us to.

Didn't quite know what to make of your strange advocation for secret cults.

Had to look at the post again to be sure of what I was reading and who posted it. Unless you somehow have your own definition which is startlingly different from the usual. But it's on record that secret cults are never organisations that members want to own up openly to belonging to. Besides, they certainly CANNOT solve man's problem permanently, because ALL secret cults have one fundamental flaw which disqualifies them as a source of lasting solution to the endemic problems of mankind. The flaw? FEAR, the presence of cold, sickening fear, which is the bedrock on which evey secret cult thrives. Not fear of the future, this time, but simply fear of the repercussions of going against the establishment in that cult/society. And so, people's consciences are sold and skewered, they simply live by the rules, hoping for a better deal, but all the while knowing that the rule does not permit any form of grumbling, complaining, or even chickening out, regardless of what comes!

Why would you even consider them in the first place? discontent with your job? I understand the dilemma you're in - when U must work in a place where you detest with a passion, yet have (no choice?) than to continue. But the solution is not fetish, but faith. Simple trust in God who has brought you thus far. And Whom you can be sure will see you through the present and future. I'll however, leave further discussions on these for now.

Hope I've not bored anyone with these (old school?) ideas? Sorry, forgive me if I have. Great day ahead, everyone!
