A boycott isn't the answer because the result of those that voted will count and those who were voted in will rule over us.
2015 the south east and south south voted for Jonathan but our president is buhari showing that politics is a game of numbers.

Finally the answer is for us to vote candidates and not party so if a party brings out a bad candidate we say no to him.

it is very possible if you use your Pvc wisely and forget about the two thousand naira with 5 cups of rice that will be shared

Topic: Nigeria and it's politics episode 2

There are 3 major stakeholders to every elections
(1) PARTY
(2) CANDIDATES
(3) ELECTORATES ( you and I)

We shall be dealing with each stakeholder

PARTY: the party is the machinery on which platform a candidates contest an election, in a party there are so many members with different interests.
A party is just like a car (bus, Range Rover, Lexus) e.t.c
And you don't buy a bad car expecting a good result.
A good car gives you rest of mind while a bad car spoils at any time.
So a good party trust to deliver to the people what it promised but a bad party is only interested in winning elections and failing to deliver quality leadership.

CANDIDATE: this a person who flys the flag of a party during an election. He must be a member of the party and must have participated in the party primary election. He is the driver to the vehicle(party)
If you give your car to a good driver he delivers on all agreement and keeps the car intact and need after usage but a bad driver will always have accidents and problems on the road.
Whenever you see a good candidate he attracts people to the party but a bad candidate will always cause confusion within the party and state while failing to deliver on the dividend of democracy.

ELECTORATES: we the voters are the electorates, so we are the passengers in the vehicle.
We could either have good passengers or bad
Passengers. A good passenger will encourage the driver if his driving well and keep patronizing him or reprimand him if he is doing bad. But a bad passenger will ask the driver to go into reckless driving by over speeding and come back to complain when there is an accident.
A good electorate will support a candidate if the candidate is doing well and reelect him if he is eligible for the next election and vote him out if he failed in delivery the dividend of democracy.
But a bad electorate will only support you if you have money to share to him during the elections whether you have the capacity to perform and will later start crying fowl.

The election mathematics

Good party + bad candidates = poor governance : the driver manages the vehicle and no matter how good a vehicle is a bad driver will damage it.

Bad party + good candidate = average government : a good driver can manage a bad vehicle till he gets to his destination without the passengers taking note

Good party + good candidate = excellent government : a good vehicle and driver will take you to your destination.

So please before you vote check the candidates and their party also ask yourself what kind of electorate are you.

Micheal for an impact 001
Vote in good leader and vote out the bad eggs

Peaceful 2019 Elections

Good morning friends it's a Wednesday morning with a nice weather conditions here in portharcourt, today we must know this and put it to practice
I call it the 4 keys to a biz empire
Here the formula
BI= business idea
P= passion
SP= strategic plan
C= capital
HE= human effort
Py= productivity

Stage 2
Pk= packaging
A= advertising
S = sale
P!= promotion
GP= grossprofit

Stage 3
Gp
E=expenses
Stage 4
NP= net profit
Sv= savings
AC = additional capital
Stage 5
Bigger productivity expansion=BPE
Diversification= D
BE= Empire
Stage 1

BI+p+sp+C+HE=productivity

Stage 2

P+A+S+P!= GP

Stage 3

Gp-E=Np

Stage 4

NP- AC=SV(note 40% np should be saving and 60% be AC
Also Savings should be divided into two which is cash at bank and assets (properties, treasury bills, stocks) etc

Stage 5

AC =BPE which leads to D= BE
So if you need a big business empire use this model and you canodify it to suit you thanks and let grow together

We are dependent on others in life because nature it so little wonder no nation can survive without the help of others.
In business you might have the large fund and idea to start but might not have what it takes to keep it growing, so there you those who have the ideas which are practical .
In Nigeria today our business dies after about twenty years - fifty years because we fail to understand that trends in businesses change and there are competition which implies that the only way to remain relevant is to get the ideas implement them before your fellow competitors do,
Have you ever asked yourself what is the future of my company in the next 50years can it be an international brand like Heineken, Shell e.t.c
Have asked why business that ruled there industry die or are fading such as Silverbird Group especially it's cinemas, have you asked why innoson motors hasn't dominated the Nigeria market, or why Shell in other countries of the world have stakes in other business not restricted to oil and gas but in Nigeria it's limited to Oil and gas, or still why businesses with huge investment fail , or still asked what the hope of our commercial banks in 20 years from now?
Here are some reasons
(1) we adopt same strategy we used in the beginning to the end without modification and yet we say change is the only constant thing in nature
(2) We are comfortable with the returns we make today and believe life will always be profitable
3) we employ the wrong workers: people with so called experience and certificate whose only interest is to get paid at the end of the month, thereby the success of the firm is secondary
(4) Owners run the business as family and community business, thereby getting wrong set of people
(5) No plans for expansion, we want to remain in our home zone forever
(6) scared of taking risk forgetting that as an entrepreneur your a daring risk taker
(7)always thinking like the accountant who is only interested in the cash at bank and at hand, rather should be thinking like a finance man who is interested in cash and assets


The remedy to this problem:
Is to get in contact with
Aruksgate and Co, let's change your business for you and keep it in the part of sustainability and growth, don't be like a bad farmer who will plant and yet have nothing to harvest, be like a good farmer who will harvest and buy more lands to farm just like Dangote group.

Nigeria is a country blessed with both intellectuals and resources which if properly manage will make us self reliant and reduce our poorverty level but yet we are still where we are why.
The problems can be grouped into 5 namely :
Blame game
No savings
Poor police or good policies and poor implementation
Poor fellowership
Monetization of our politics:

(1) Blame game: every government has pushed all the problems of the country to the past administration, the obasanjo administration blamed it on the military government and the Jonathan administration blamed it on obasanjo administration and now buhari administration is blaming the Jonathan government.
But one thing is that during their different campaign they knew the problems and promised to fix them all.
A man who accepts his faults is den willing to correct them so until we accept the faults and stop pushing them to others we can never progress

(2)No savings: our constitution says all revenues should be shared between the federal, state and local govt, thereby keeping nothing for our future. And that why there is corruption because if we had a law that say we must save 20% of our revenues then our leaders will have little or nothing to steal. Furthermore our leaders have personal business which savings are compulsory . Savings is compulsory for any firm or nation for economic national security.
When we had recession if we had savings such would have been put into the system to help reduce the impact of recession. Ask why is China now a world power it's obvious there savings.
So until we save we can never prosper. Our leaders in there personal business do save such as our former vice president company Intel's, president Obasanjo It's farm also save alot so why cant our nation save.

(3) Poor policies or poor implementation : it seem most policies in this country are meant to satisfy some people's Interest or most times its poor implementation just like when the current administration came it's policy on forex was completely wrong, it was like you denying a sick child drugs, an economy which was down was denied forex which was what it needed.
Or what about the TSA a nice policy but was implemented at the wrong time should have been done in batches because many workers lost there jobs in the bank and the bureaucracy in getting funds wasn't favourable for a nation in recession then. So as a country we must check the advantage and disadvantages of a policy before implementation.

(4) poor fellowership: yes we owe our leaders the responsibility of telling them the truth I see governors who shared jerrycan and truck to its people and claiming World Bank water project getting endorsement in one of the states in the north. We should be able to tell our the leaders the truth and chase out those who are not performing with our PVC during the elections.
We forget that a man who during his first tenure did nothing but a year to his elections that working will stop working once his reflected. We should learn to vote according to the candidates and not party because the man you elected will be the one to rule over you and not party, he might even defect to another if the party disturbs him much, so remember the party is the vehicle while the candidates is the driver and we the masses are the passenger so we need a good driver to take us to our destination.


(5) We have monetised our politics : imagine when someone invest about 600million to become a governor so what do you expect he does once he wins the election, will be to recover his money with interest so we should reduce the cost our politicians spend during elections by rejecting there money and voting for them based on conviction that he is the best candidate..
Thanks slot as all parties put effort to rescue our country
God bless Nigeria
