Great Strategist.

Corruption starts because of fear. What am I going to feed my family with? How am I going to pay the school fees? Then after the first major benefits of corruption is achieved it becomes a way of life. This way of life is then thought to others in the society.

The problem remains that most Africans struggle to create wealth because they don't understand basic principle of money and how the financial world works. This is one of the reasons Africans are poor. What You See Is Not What Is There. (WYSINWIT). Remember that. People don't understand how $25,000 can turn into $2.1 million in 20 years. If they did, they would probably choose that model to protect their financial future. The other reasons our people remain poor are:

1. They carry too many problems on their head from family. Distance relatives. They call it culture. The Africa culture create poverty faster than people can get out of it. Every individual is created with the power to struggle and succeed. They justs have to use that power. There is no Jesus for every family. If you are the Jesus or Joseph in your family, it is probably the time to stop because you are sowing poverty for yourself and the rest of the family.

2. What Africans call investments is wastage of money. The Dutch people calls it "Kapitaal Vernietiging" which means capital destruction. Buying expensive cars when you cannot really afford it or can do with just a simple ride. Expensive wrist watches just to tell time, expensive parties etc. Some poor Africans spend over $25000 yearly on luxury items . That is $2.1 million compounded in 20 years that is wasted today.

Some people I know are actually able to do this for 10 years straight..Which means they can actually have an income of over $2.2 million per year for 10 years over 20 years times and be one of the elite rich. That without corruption.

3. African man wants to waste money at home but he calls it investment. Just drive around the streets of any GRA in Nigeria to see very large houses dilapidating without maintenance because those that built them cannot maintain them anymore. This is capital destruction. But it is culture.

Europeans and Asians for example invest all over the world. They take the wealth from the investment to build their homes but don't eat or destroy the capital. Capital is called Seed Money. We go overseas and slave for them then bring the seed money we got back home and destroy the capital and go back to slave again.

4. Wealth is accumulated. The white people became this rich because most of the wealth were accumulated over hundreds of years. Many of the wealth as you know came from Africa, but they kept them and preserved them. You can still find the first mercedes Benz car that was build. If it was in Africa, you cannot find it back. So wealth has to be created and passed from one generation to the other.

5. Black people all over the world are consumers. We don't produce much, not even food and we are not ashamed of it. In fact, we are proud of it. The consumer is always the slave of the producer. It is the producer that makes the money and determine what a consumer must eat, wear, drive and how to live. A group of people who are consumers can never be rich and we remain technically slaves. today only Black people in the world fit this model.

You can change this narrative.

$350 million Abacha loot is worth $3,812,393,778 just at 12% interest rate by the time the swiss government sent it back and the Africans were happy with it. That is not a typo. It is now worth $3.8 billion. With $350 million given back the swiss have enriched their economy with at least $3.5 billion.

To add salt to injury, they will borrow Nigeria one day $1 billion at 6% interest rate using the same money. One of the reasons it even took this long was because some Africans wanted to reloot the loot. The Swiss had to fight them bitterly. Some even said the money does't belong to Nigeria.

Africans remain poor because they don't understand how to build generational wealth. That is why a black man will hardly take a life insurance because he think if the witches find out they will kill him.

In Europe my Wife's great grandfather was poorer than her grandfather. Her grandfather was poorer than her father and she is definitely, richer than her father was. The reason is every generation always leave something behind for the next generation. At the end the entire country gets better than a generation before.

In Africa we finish everything even before our generation is over and therefore, leave the next generation with nothing. African man will take the biggest mortgage, buy the biggest car on loan and even buy his 80 inch LCD TV on loan. So he will work all his life like a jackass to pay back all these loans the white man has comfortably given to him. Then when he dies his children will have nothing. They will then start the cycle again. No generational wealth being built. The white people will leave a city behind.

The same thing people are doing in their family is what is amplified in an entire country and in the entire black race. That way, we ensure we remain poor generation after generation. We have no school, hospital or structure that has lasted for generations. We have no companies that have lasted for generations. Everything started will eventually broken down in just few years, looted and strip apart.

You must break the cycle in your own family. Don't continue in the same path to destruction. Plant a tree for the next generation even when you will not be there to sit under the shade.

As a farmer, you must know that the yield you get could largely be influenced by attacks from diseases or pests.
To effectively control this disaster from wiping out your investment, you must monitor the crop closely to detect early, these diseases or pests that will inflict heavy losses on you.
~ Here is a tip on How Start Maize Processing Business
Information and Communication Support for Agricultural Growth in Nigeria (ICS-Nigeria)- a project which seeks to increase the quantity and quality of information available for increased agricultural production, processing, and marketing and also strengthen the capacity of farmer assistance organizations, in collaboration with IITA Ibadan, recommended the steps below to deal with these pests and disease in your maize farm:
Army-worms and grasshoppers: Where infestation by these insects has been detected, control immediately with monocrotophos (e.g. Azodrin at 533 ml/liter, Nuvacron 40EC at the rate of 40 ml per 10 litres of water and Ultracide 40 at 40 ml per 10 liters of water).
Termites: If termites attack is detected during the growing season, spray the affected area with 30 ml of Nogos 50 in 4.5 liters of water. Termite hills in the field and surrounding area should be located and destroyed.
Stem-borers: Where stem-borer control is required, apply Furadan, 3G or 10g (carbofuran) at the rate of 0.75 kg ai/ha as side dressing, 10 cm away from maize stands.
This should be done seven days after emergence or as seed dressing-‘a chemical, typically antimicrobial or fungicidal, with which seeds are treated (or dressed)’ with a marker prior to planting. Apply 1.68 kg active ingredient carbaryl (Vetox 85) at 225 litres of water/ha.
Local unit is 8 levels of standard match box per 9 litres (2 gallons) of water. Two applications every two weeks intervals, starting two weeks after planting should be made.

Corn earworms: For green maize production in particular and increased grain yield, apply 3 sprays of cymbush 10 EC of Ambush 25 EC at the rate of 20ml per 10 liters of water at weekly interval, beginning from 50% silking and spray directly to the cobs.
Farmers are strongly advised to start planting early to minimize attack by diseases. Farmers should also contact extension workers for other effective means of control.

People were upset to see Adams Oshiomhole and El Rufai dancing at the APC convention while scores of people were butchered in Plateau state. No sorrow, no empathy and not a sign they even care at all.

Many people don't realize these people are showing symptoms of psychopaths. Although, I have not sat them down to diagnose them, there are clear signs that we are dealing with certified psychopaths when you see these people act. Try to do a diagnoses yourself. Below are fourteen signs you are dealing with a psychopath: Tell me which one Adams Oshiomhole, Godwin Obaseki and El Rufai doesn't have.

1) Uncaring
2) No Empathy
3) Always blame others.
4) Shallow emotion.
5) Irresponsibility.
6) Insincere speech.
7) Overconfidence.
Narrowing of Attention.
9) Selfishness.
10) Inability to plan for the Future.
11) Violence.
12) Have no shame.
13) Show no remorse.
14) Never accept wrongdoing.

Nobody in the history of mankind has even negotiated his freedom from a psychopath by appealing to his sense of humanity. Why? because they have none. So, all those people trying to appeal to a psychopathic Nigerian politician and pastors are wasting their time. It is clinically proven that you cannot reason with a Psychopaths and the mental disorder has no care.

You just have to learn their language and speak it. One day many people in Nigeria will understand they are dealing with certified Psychos and change their approach to gain their freedom. Evil will only retreat in the presence of a much bigger force.

Baroba:
Well done sir, We ( Southerners)have more in common with Liberia / Sierra Leone than killer fullani immigrants..

His farm was destroyed in Edo state sir.

namet:
Aroms has forsaken his country. It is sad that fulani herdsmen have chased every well-intentioned Nigerian away from the country. Whatever Aroms program is, it should have started in Nigeria because the country needs jobs and food, also. Maybe, the government can invite him and listen to his ideas. Very sad that our government does not encourage citizen contribution to develop.

Aroms news is all over here.
Fulani destroyed his farm.
Edo govt turned deaf ears.

waoh. better pikin

AgricPower Africa, a non-governmental organization, has disclosed that it is initiating plan with the Ministry of Agriculture to boost the country’s economy to US$10 billion over the next five years.

This disclosure was made Tuesday, June 19, during a meeting between AgricPower representative and the Deputy Agriculture Minister for Research, Cllr. Cyrenius Cephas, who said the project is important and a module that has not been introduced in Liberia.
Minister Cephas noted that Liberia’s agriculture problems are huge and complicated, making it difficult to be addressed by the Liberian government alone.
“Many of these problems are so complicated that a single individual or institution passionate about agriculture may not have enough money, time, contacts, skills and other resources to leverage the potentials in agriculture to create wealth,” he said.
To overcome these problems, Cllr. Cephas emphasized the need that efforts be concerted through cooperation of like-minded people and organizations join in forming investment platforms.
He believes that if such a huge investment is made in Liberia’s Agriculture sector, it will promote merchandise farming in Liberia and encourage more people to move in the hinterland areas.
He expressed hope that the AgricPower Africa will provide training for more Liberians in merchandize farming and also empower smallholder agriculture projects.
While AgricPower Africa is still selling its idea, the Deputy Agriculture Minister Cephas noted that social security, guarantee and proper management team need to be seriously addressed to enable Liberians benefit from the project.
The organization says it is assessing Liberia’s agriculture sector and wish to transform it to US$10 billion Gross Domestic Product within five years in helping with job opportunities for youth and women.
Ahead of the kickoff process in September, AgricPower Africa chairman Aroms Emmanuel Aigbehi, stated experts will come to Liberia to provide the training on how rice, cassava and other major commodities in Africa can be given serious priority.
According to AgricPower Africa, it will empower the skills, knowledge and contacts of participating partners to create a modern and sustainable agribusiness that will compete in the global marketplace.
This initiative according to the group, will help create jobs, alleviate poverty and create wealth in Liberia through agriculture in enhancing government pro-poor program.
Aigbehi noted that Liberia can overcome her food problem within three years by adding value in processing and packaging food produce.
“In West Africa, food import alone is over US$40 billion yearly, with Nigeria alone at over $22 billion. This number is rising exponentially,” Aigbehi averred.
“The result shows that many food items in West Africa including Liberia are priced the same as in the USA or any European countries. This makes the cost of basic food items inaccessible for the people. Hence, the economy cannot sustain itself. There is urgent need for food security, national development and further political stability in Liberia”
As part of the agriculture project to boost the nation’s economy, the NGO noted that it is looking forward to enable farmers produce and processed exportable spices and herbs like pepper, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg among others.
He said if the program is achieved in Liberia, it will help farmers and business people to become successful and accumulate huge wealth within five years.
Agric Power Africa Chairman further revealed plan of making Liberia become its Powerhouse for West Africa and becomes a net exporter of food in three years.
“The implementation of this plan will enable the government of Liberia to build further, attracting more investments and funding into Liberia. One thing leads to another. This is the time to make Liberia a frontrunner in development,” Aigbehi maintained.
Apart from Liberia, the group furthered that Ghana, La Côte d’Ivoire and Angola were also mapped but Liberia was selected due to huge agriculture challenges faced over the years.
Meanwhile, Aigbehi said his organization will work with the Central Bank of Liberia to form investment program that will drive private equity capital and to create the Liberia and Agric Power Cooperative Bank to facilitate loan for smallholder farmers.

We just rounded up a very fruitful meeting with the Vice President of Liberia Mrs Jewel Howard Taylor. She was very nice to us and joined the Agric Power Liberia. She will be our patroness and the main advocate of Agric Power at the top government level to push the plan nationwide.

She promised to work with us to implement the much needed programs of Agric Power in Liberia that will add over $10 billion to the Liberia economy in the next 5 years. We are going to be collaborating with her to implement our Agribusiness incubation program in two major schools in Liberia as a pilot project starting September this year.

It was a great day, as we had other fruitful activities with The investment commission.

OPC boys and the bulletproof Governor.

I learnt a Nigerian politician bought being a bulletproof for N10 million. I also heard most ex-governors are bulletproof. But they also have many police officers guiding them, Apparently they just don't trust that spiritual armoured vest.

A while back, some OPC boys said they could make me bulletproof but that was going to cost money. I said, I already had a bulletproof vest. I should throw that away and go to where the governor did his. they said. Well being a curious person I wanted to find out more about the story.

There was this guy who would mix some concoction and chew it and spit it on your body and rob you with it. Then he would give you some beads to wear and words to chant. You have to wear those things and chant early in the morning before talking to any other person.

You must not eat food cooked by a woman etc. You were supposed to come back after 7 days and get confirmation. That was the part I came for, to find out how the conformation was done.

Simple, they will actually shoot at you with a pistol with real bullet. Wao, Cool, I wanted to see the gun and the bullet. They came with it. They told me they could demonstrate it with another guy there who was already bulletproof himself. So they lined the guy up, armed the pistol and fired. The bullet did not enter. They said to me, "You see, e no dey enter". The governor was also tested here, they assured me.

I asked them if I could see the other bullets and they showed me. They were like I suspected, They were blanks. But for this guys, bullets were bullets, but for me, Blanks are stunted with no pointed tip and coloured red or blue on the tip. They can't kill you because there is no projectile coming out from it, they just make a big bang.

I told them I will stick to my bulletproof vest from Israel. "Oga too much, they said".

What is this Arrhythmia I keep hearing about? Sorry, It is not the transmission story. That is for the IG.

Some Oyibo people call it dysrhythmia, it is a condition of irregular heartbeat. Sometimes, the heart beat too fast or too slow and fast and slow.

I used to have it when I was a kid. My parents took me from one doctor to the other. Then from one quack doctor to the other. one day, a decision was reached that the witches were after me. I had to be shipped away to stay with my grandmother in Ubiaja, But to get there, we must first travel to Ekpoma and then to Uromi, before making the final D-tour to Ubiaja to drimble and confuse the witches. That was exactly what my mother did. Then I was only 8 years old.

There was one problem though, The Arrhythmia continued there. Later, I was told there is this women in the Delta region who can take care of it. She lived on the other side of a big river, the witches will drown on that river before they get there. So I will be reinforced before coming back home so the witches wouldn't be able to find me. I knew it was all BS (Believe System), but what can you do when you are 14 years old.

The working theory was, some big witches in Esan land (neighbors) had put a mark on my forehead as a kid. So, everywhere, I went, it was like a relay, the other witches would see that mark and pick up the batton to continue the attack. The mark was so invisible that only other witches could see it.

So, even when we moved home, the auntie witch would see it, the neighbors witch would see it, the grand mum witch would see it. Later on, even the future wife witch and in-laws would see it. and attack. So the future was blink.

So, I went along. They would massage my chest with some chalk and give me the piece that was left to go outside and throw it on top of the leave roof. I still don't understand what that was good for.

I kept thinking, one day I was going to leave this nonsense behind and go to America. I heard witches didn't cross the big ocean. Instinctively, I knew I had to leave Nigeria or die young, not from the witches but from the quack doctors. That was enough motivation for me to do all it took to cross that big ocean.

I finally crossed, but the Arrhythmia continued. One day I went to a doctor and he asked me what was wrong. I told him I was dying. He replied, yes you are, but not soon.

He checked me out and said you have Arrhythmia. That was before Google. I couldn't Google it. But he said, "it wouldn't kill you, but could make you very miserable sometimes."

So, the first time I came to Nigeria, My mother said we should go and pay homage to the old woman in Delta state sho cured me, I liked that old women, so I sent her N3000. In those days, that was big money. 20 years later, I told my mother that women didn't cure my Arrhythmia because witches had nothing to do with it. She said, " who told you. Your Oyibo wife hmm. That is how she spoil our name before you all the time. Everything we did for you was never good."

So, I told her it was Dr. Thomas my physician that is to be blamed and not my wife.

She replied.

"They are all the same, what did that Doctor thomas know anyway"

My mother was right about one thing. She and my father did spend lot of money and lot of time worrying, travelling from one quark to the other to save me from the phantom witches, but unfortunately, all that work was based on ignorance. I still feel sorry for them when I think of it. And if I had remained in Nigeria, they would have inadvertently killed me trying to save me. Many who went through this route are no longer with us.

On the other hand, Dr. Thomas wasn't a quack, he had Phd in being a doctor. He is a doctor of doctor and a researcher. But our ancestors knew more than Dr. Thomas and my mother trust our ancestors more. the final verdict was, It was the witches that did it and that old women cured me and when I travelled to America the witches lost track of me.

Case closed. Next case please.

As for me, I am still taking medicine for Arrhythmia

It is time Africans get to work to tell their own stories to the world. It is pathetic and shameful that some of our schools are still using African history books written by the Europeans. The white man will tell us about their history and how they fought the first world war and the second world war, The battle of Waterloo and Hastings. Then they will tell us about the Anglo-Zulu war, Abomey war and the first Oyo-Dahomey war. Why? because it takes effort to tell a good story. They have done the work while we have refused to do the work.

If you don't tell your story, someone will tell it for you from his own perspective and you may not like it. Because you might discover later that you are now the villain and he is the hero in your story. This will be thought to your children and grandchildren in schools for generations. This is how Mungo Park came to discover river Niger and David Livingstone discovered Victoria falls.

Most Africans don't bother about these things because for them it is not important. Those who bother only talk about it as if the power is not in their hands to change the narratives. In a way, it is an act of laziness and not taking spiritual things seriously. Tell me, If someone ask you where is Lake Victoria? what would you say? How much trouble was it to retell the story of River Niger?

Most Africans don't see the need for them to tell their own stories. For one thing, telling your own story makes money. The Harry Potter movies have made $6.5 billion. That is three times the GDP of Liberia.

Black panther made over $1.2 billion by today. There are many more stories that have made billions of dollars. If Africans write their great stories down, it will be filmed one day and they can also make billions. But we like to pick up the crumbs.

Secondly, Your story is you. You tell people who you are by your stories. Today there are different avenues to tell our stories, by writing online, movies, animation and even just through drawings. We must start turning the clock and start getting building better reputation. The stories of the turtle, the elephant and the tiger all can be told graciously. Hollywood have ran out of stories, now they are coming to Africa to start telling our stories and we stay and watch. Rather we are still telling the story of witchcraft and idiocracy and making peanuts and telling our children that Mungo Park discovered river Niger.

Therefore, I have created a WIKI. It is like a Wikipedia but for Africans stories, facts, folklores, parables and idioms. We need to tell the background stories of African civilization and the wisdom from Africa.

You can help grow and edit this wiki site and grow it to the biggest resource for African stories on the Internet. That way, when people want to read about African or create work relating to Africa, they will come there to do their research.

We need to start narrating our own stories good or bad from our own perspective. This is a good place to start.

The site is http://africawisdomwiki.com

You can create an account and start writing right away. If you don't know how to write on Wiki yet just send in your writing to africawisdomwiki@gmail.com and someone will post it for you.

Wiki is a collaboration server, I encourage all serious Africans who can write and want to start to work rather than talk about their problem to start to contribute to this wiki today. It is only through this type of initiatives we can begin to take back our respect in the world.

Let's build Africa. Enough of the talk.

Salt is used to preserve life. It is called in chemistry Sodium Chloride. It is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, It contains two chemicals called Sodium and Chlorine.

These chemicals are poisonous when they are on their own. But when they are combined together they become your table salt with preserving properties which is used to preserve food and make it taste good. Now you cannot do without salt.

This is what the Jews learned from it when they read the same bible. Salt is like people. People are different and Phycologist have worked out sixteen personality types and every human been fits in one of these personality type.

Some of these personality types on their own can never get much done in life, especially in business. But combine them together with another person with another personality type then boom, both of them become a majestic business machine.

Think of Bill Gates and Paul Allen and Steve Ballman, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. Apple's Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. It is a long list. In Nigeria people prefer to work alone.

The Jews realized that most things in nature on their own DON'T work well. It is when you combine them with something else that they become desirable and potent.

Take the stainless steel. It is 18% chromium and 8% nickel. that is what make your spoon looks good and shining. But an iron spoon will not work. It will rust away.

Concrete slab is made of Cement, Water, Iron weaved together. Why? without the iron you will have a very strong slap that is not flexible so it will break. Iron provides the flexibility to the concrete. It is like a relationship. Please don't marry someone like you. bad idea. You may not be able to live with yourself.

See all around you. The clothes you wear, the food you eat and your electronic devices. They are all made by combining two or more elements which on their own seems useless.

It is the combination of elements that makes human, like God. That is why the bible said God created us in his own image. Because he created us with the ability to combine things. Because we couldn't create things out of thin air he gave us all the elements we need so we can study them and combine them to create new things. Humans are still looking at how to combine more elements from the periodic table to make better products to serve humanity.

To the Jews people, He who can combine these elements to form new brilliant products that will serve humanity well are the ones that get riches. That is the secret of the Jews success. Meanwhile, most Africans are consumers. The consumer never gets rich. It is against the law of God.

It is the understanding of this concept by the Jews that make them very good scientist. You can teach your children this concept and they will be very brilliant scientist one day, better than any Jew out there. But how would you know when you were not thought. So the cycle of ignorance continues while we all wait for God.

Please go and get rich, I have given you the formula. Go and combine elements in the best possible way that will serve humanity and you will get rich. This is what most of the billionaires on earth are doing. Even the Chinese have just discovered this.

Africans have the ability to do this because they read the same bible, but most have just buried their talents and keep praying for God to help them to combine these elements to new products that will create wealth through miracle money.

Shame on all those waiting for miracle money.

The Image of God Part 1:

Humans are not very different from animals based on our building blocks, the DNA. Humans are 98% different from chimpanzees. We are only 2% different.

Where are the differences apart from the looks?
1. For a starter, the chimpanzee cannot talk because they have no vocal cords like humans.

Yet, this is not what the bible talked about when it said God created man in his own image.

2. Most of the 2% difference is in the brain. The software running the chimp's brain is totally different from the one running the human brain. Although there is similarity, the differences are pronounced enough to make a huge difference.

It is these major differences that separate a human from a Chimpanzee. Many humans take this for granted and don't bother to improve themselves by making use of these extraordinary abilities for growth. If you don't improve then you just have the potentials but have not made use of it. Most people are at this level in life.

3. Humans are capable of change, but animals cannot. The Chimpanzee cannot make a plan to change tomorrow. Therefore, a human can make a choice to remain an idiot or not.

Humans who don't use their capacity of change are behaving like animals because animals don't have that capability. So, when someone insists that this is how our forefathers did it, whether right or wrong, he is going to do the same. Then the person is in the territory of the chimp. Because he is not making use of one major ability that separates us from the Chimp.

4. Someone said that humans are gods. Why?
Because humans can see the past because they have been there. They can experience the present because they are here and they can imagine the future. They can combine all these three things and reflect on what had happened with different emotions based on what is happening now and what could happen in the future if nothing change today. He can do all that in a split of a second.

Although humans can do this, many people however, don't have these three things in balance.


1.) Some spend all their time in the past, remembering all the bad things that happened to them and blaming others for it. How many times did you read in the bible "And God blamed satan"?

2.) Others spend all their time fantasizing about the future. How they are going to be big or do lots of bad things to get rich. Majority of Africans are preparing to go to heaven. But ignoring what they were put on earth in the first place to do. When they should get to heaven then they will be planning of going to another place.

3.) Meanwhile, they simply go through life without experiencing anything great now. Because they are never here. They are or in the past or in the future.

Imagine what could happen if we Africans decide today enough is enough and we really get to work on all aspects of human endeavour to serve our humanity. That is the future.

But many people don't want to do it because it was the fault of -------- that is why we are like this now. Blaming the past.

Therefore, we remain the way we are because the present is what we built in the past. We have not done anything much to fix the present in the past. We are not doing anything much today to fix the future. Any change to the future you want to see must be done today in the present. a man is the architect of his own life.

Anytime you look around you and see that no much change is going on today that you like. Please know that the future will be bad. It is when you see the changes taking place today that will better humidity in Africa in the future that you should think the future will be bright. Other than that, it is just fantasy.

Let me explain. Major parts of the Internet technology you use today was built in 1960's. The air conditioner was invented in 1902. Mobile phone in 1973, HDTV in 1980's. So what are we doing today in Africa that will put Africa on the world map 30 years from now? We cannot even feed ourselves.

I submit to you that for us to see a better Africa tomorrow you are I must combine our effort today irrespective of our religion, tribe or political affiliation to build the new Africa together. Unless that is done, you can pray all you want nothing will change.
