Kingston shared a photo of part of his car collection including a new white Range Rover, white Bentley Mulsanne, and a white Lamborghini Aventador. Looks like he wanted to switch things up and wrap everything in white because his Mulsanne used to be silver/grey and his Rover was black.

POOR LOCATION:

Some of the reasons why start-up fail is the inability to situate in a good area for business. Sometimes some organizations are located far away from raw materials and factors of production like labour. If a fast food is located close to a bank, the business will thrive and if a boat manufacturer is located in the neighbourhood there will hardly be sales because it is not a riverine area.



MISUSE OF FUNDS:

Mismanagement of business of business fund is a big problem that causes stunted growth. If a business begins to make profit, part of it should be reserved for the future plan and continous existence. Atleast 40% should be added back to the capital and not misused by the business owner for luxurious spending.


LACK OF SUFFICIENT CAPITAL:

So many small businesses have this problem as there number one, because it is the capital that will make provision for office and equipment, staffing, cost of production and advertising. Sometimes start-ups need good capital depending on the plan of the business for instance, you cannot run a cyber cafe with as low as a hundred thousand naira. You would have to consider the cost of getting an office that is the rent, then the computers, printers, ISP(Internet service provider), furniture etc.


LACK OF EXPERIENCE:

Where a business owner fails to make a good plan there would be failure in the long run of the business and this is as a result of inexperience,also if a businessman does not understand the kind of business to do and how to manage people very well there would be problems.Inability to convince investors with a good business plan and a proposal is going to be a big problem,a business person should enjoy and be passionate about his or her business.



OVER-INVESTMENT IN FIXED ASSETS:

Sometimes some companies have made mistakes in the area of acquiring gadgets, machinery and buildings. If an upcoming business should have over sufficient space and they paying for the rent, it affects the size of their capital because such space is not used to give them extra income. It is dangerous to have excessive working equipment and over staffing.




COMPETITION:

Some business cannot cope with the rising effects of competition in their area of specification, because of lack of good planning strategy which could sometimes be as a result of piggy-backing. Piggybacking means depending on a bigger business for survival, some businesses find it difficult to build their brand and differentiate themselves from the crowd which a problem and one of the biggest reasons small businesses fail

The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) and Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) have finally found the allegedly missing N4.423 billion petroleum subsidy money that was recovered as over-payment to 10 oil marketers.

Following the protracted dispute between the two organisations over the said fund, both agencies yesterday in a joint statement signed by their Executive Secretaries, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed for NEITI and Reginald Stanley for PPPRA, stated that the missing fund had been reconciled and traced to the Petroleum Support Fund (PSF) account domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Both agencies had been at loggerheads over the funds, which findings from NEITI’s oil and gas audit report for the years 2009 to 2011 disclosed could not be accounted for by PPPRA.

The audit report had asked PPPRA to account for the money, which it recovered from the marketers as over payment but did not show evidence of remitting to the federation account, while PPPRA on the other hand denied knowledge of such fund and asked NEITI to among other things clarify information in its audit report before presenting to the public.

The statement confirming the new development, stated that the money was traced to the PSF within the CBN, stating that PPPRA had also agreed to subject itself to further discussions to address other outstanding issues in the 2009 to 2011 audit report.

“Following the sustained media engagement between PPPRA and NEITI, over the recently released 2009 to 2011 industry audit in the oil and gas sector, and the findings as they affect PPPRA, a joint meeting between the two agencies was held today, August 13, in Abuja, with the managements of the two agencies in attendance.


"The joint reconciliation meeting, after exhaustive and useful deliberations, resolved as follows; that the sum of N4.423 billion in dispute has been reconciled and traced to the PSF account domiciled with the CBN. That there is nothing outstanding against PPPRA on the said amount,” the statement read.

US billionaire unveils plans for Hyperloop that will shoot passengers from LA to San Francisco in 30mins
Paypal billionaire Elon Musk, inset, has revealed plans for a radical new 'Hyperloop' transport system that could 'shoot' passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.

Travellers enter aluminium pods mounted by skis either to their feet or to their cars, top. The pods, mounted above the ground on columns 50 to 100 yards apart, travel through steel tubes, reaching speeds of up to 800mph and travelling on a cushion of air. These images, left and right, show sketches of the passenger transport capsule and how it would look travelling through the steel tubes. Continue...



Musk told Bloomberg Business Week the system would be ‘like getting a ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland.’
‘It would have less lateral acceleration—which is what tends to make people feel motion sick—than a subway ride, as the pod banks against the tube like an airplane,' he said.
‘It would feel supersmooth.’
'The Hyperloop (or something similar) is, in my opinion, the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart,' he claimed.


THE HYPERLOOP: HOW IT WORKS
Inside the tubes, hyperloop pods are mounted on thin skis made out of inconel,an alloy already used by Musk’s SpaceX firm that can withstand high pressure and heat.
Air is pumped into the skis via small holes to make an air cushion, and each pod has air inlets at the front.
An electric turbo compressor compresses air from the nose and routes it to the skis and to the cabin.
Magnets on the skis, plus an electromagnetic pulse give the pod its initial thrust; reboosting motors along the route would keep the pod moving at just below the speed of sound so the system does not produce sonic booms.

HALLELUJAH! Nolywood Actors who have found Christ

No doubt, fans love and adore movie stars. However, despite the love, the personal life of some of these stars is far from decent. Actresses, especially those who are stereotyped as cheap, promiscuous, money hungry, greedy and selfish are worst hit. On the other hand, the men are seen as gigolos, party animals, womanizers, and all sorts.

These features do not necessarily apply to all of them, as some people have argued that there are still decent ones among them. And in this era of many claiming to have “become new creatures,” these stars also have
proclaimed a new life, with some even going as far as claiming they have given their lives to Christ.

Here are a few actors who have had a very fair share of the fast superstar life, and today profess to live for Christ
Eucheria Anunobi
Probably, the most publicised conversion to Christ is that of Eucheria Anunobi. The actress fondly called UK by her friends has been the subject of various controversies and scandals, topmost of which bordered around her relationships, broken marriage and eventually her demand for her ex-husband to keep providing for the only son of their union, whom she has in her custody.

After many years of being in the news for all the wrong reasons, many were surprised when she announced she had given her life to Christ. Few months after the news broke, UK was ordained at the Fresh Oil Ministry, Egbeda, Lagos, as an evangelist.

The ordination was performed by Pastor Psalm Okpe, who anointed the top Nollywood actress, accompanied by other men of God. Some of her close colleagues like Susan Peters and Clarion Chukwurah were on hand to support their friend during the ceremony.

With her ordination, Eucharia can fully preach as a pastor. In fact, it is said that she already counsels youths in the church. This, however, has not taken away some of the traits that made her fans term her “a bad girl” before now. UK is still flashy. Just weeks after the ordination, she got a BMW X5. It is not clear if it’s a gift or a personal purchase.

UK has, however, vowed to use her fame to win souls for Christ. She also assured her teeming fans that she would not abandon her acting career, pointing out that she would be choosier in accepting roles in movies.

Ernest Asuzu
Do you remember Ernest Asuzu? The Imo State-born actor was the toast of movie lovers some years ago. He took on the role of the lover boy with great skills, and was indeed the ladies’ man in real life. But not long after, he disappeared from the radar. Before his withdrawal from the movie scene he was engulfed in scandals and controversies, which got him negative media attention.

During his hiatus, it was rumoured that he was down with mental illness while some even said he was dead. However, he resurfaced with a turn-around in more ways than one. In a chat, he told some reporters that the world rejected him, and he had to go back to Christ.

With this discovery, he underwent a period of rebranding and soul-searching, coming out strong as a gospel artiste. He now calls himself El Cream. With his new musical identity, he has released a music video for his single, ‘Go Under’. The new single is coming off his forthcoming album, Return of the Don.

Rita Nzelu
Not much has been heard much from this popular 90s actress for some time. Now, we hear that the former actress, who has been in the UK for over 10 years, has become a born-again Christian and has been ordained an evangelist in a UK-based Nigerian church. She is said to be very active in church, as she keeps posting invitation to churches on her social media handle.

She still acts in Nigerian movies shot in London.

Kanayo O. Kanayo
Veteran Nollywood actor, Anayo Modestus Onyekwere, popularly known as Kanayo.O.Kanayo, is now a pastor. He has been preaching in some churches in recent times. He is mostly seen teaching the word of God at Christ Mission Worldwide Church, Egbeda.

Though he does not preach there regularly, it is said that the number of church members has grown since the day he first preached there.

That is not the only church he has ministered in at. His face has also graced banners and posters of other churches’ programmes. This recent development comes as a shock to some of his friends and colleagues who know him well.

There are allegations of nefarious activities that go on in his Surulere office. The place is described by some of his colleagues as a magnet for young girls.

Pat Attah
Where is Pat Attah? From what we gather, the once-upon-a-dreadlock-turned clean cut actor has left his life in the country behind. Pat, currently, is based in Hamburg, Germany and has turned a preacher. Though he does not preach in churches, he is now very much a born-again.

Many knew him before he left the country to be close to the ladies and in love with the bottle. Today, reading his posts online, one would know things have changed in his life. Pat often uses social network sites including Facebook to deliver his sermon and messages to all who care to read.

Zack Orji
Actor, Zack Orji, has been ordained a full-time evangelist by Bishop Emma Isong of Christian Central Chapel International (CCCI). In fact, the veteran actor has engaged in various evangelical activities in Abuja, Nasarawa and Makurdi with the church.

Zack has hardly been linked to any scandal. Only close friends know that he goes to a bar in National Stadium in Lagos, where he usually takes a particular brand of drink. Zack Orji is married to Ngozi Orji and they have three children.

Liz Benson
Elizabeth Benson, popularly known as Liz Benson, began acting when she was just a kid. Her journey to stardom began when she appeared on the set of the popular television soap opera, Fortunes, in 1993. Liz Benson played the part of Mrs. Agnes Johnson in the soap, which ran for about two years on the Nigerian Television Authority network. After that, she acted in various TV series and many movies.

In 1994, her role in Glamour Girls, a very successful home video that focused prostitution as the theme, literally changed her fortunes.

The movie shot her into prominence and gradually she wormed her way into the heart of millions of Nigerian movie fans. As popularity came, so did media scrutiny. Several media reports linked her with different men and she was said to be dating some men in power.

However, after a quiet court ceremony in Abuja, she got married to a Bishop Great Emeya in 2009 at the Rainbow Christian Assembly in Warri, Delta State. She too was ordained an evangelist in the church.

Presently, she runs the church with her husband.

Peter Bunor
This veteran actor missed death by the whiskers last year. It took the intervention of the Delta State Government to keep him alive. The actor suffered a stroke that left him almost totally paralysed. Since he recovered, Peter has turned a new man.

In a chat with journalists, he said: “All I can say now is to thank God that I am alive. I have also given my life to Jesus Christ as you can see that I am now a pastor.”

The man is known to attend Winners Chapel.

Kenethe Nnebue
Living in Bondage is believed by some sectors to be the film that brought Nollywood to where it is today. The man behind the movie, Kenneth Nnebue, owns Nek Videos.

After two decades of making a success of that two-part Igbo language movie, the pioneer producer disappeared into thin air. The last time he was spotted at a Nollywood function, was in 2009, where he was among the special guests that attended that year’s BOBTV, Africa’s premiere film and television programmes expo, which held in Abuja.

From what we hear, Nnebue has retired to evangelism. Close friends say he is very active in his church

jp philips: you just spoke like a lazy uninformed youth wallowing in the gallows of ignorance, when you stop watching big brother and take a time off to research on real issues, when you spend weeks online researching global opportunities, then you may see a place or Window to catch in.
it is only an empty head that sees the challenges of life, the moment you pre occupy your head with real solutions, you will never have cause to complain.
how would you find a way outta Naija's problems when you spend 3months on BBA?
how will you know how many people that graduated early when you spend the better part of your life on kalo kalo?
look at the world top musicians, most of them start from their church choir as child choristers, our youths after wasting years of their lives on marijuana, dey dash off to the studio to make noise, tear their shirts and call themselves 'stars'.
is this life?

our youths finished themselves before the govt buried them.

Mr perfect, may i ask u d name of your company, and how many ppl u have in ur payroll. Wat are u doing in nairaland if u seems to ultilize ur time correctly, i just check ur profile, u r currently following more than 50 thread, u need to change ur ways first, before trying to change odas.
How old are u, i doubt if u have face life urself, u speaking like this because u are eating from dad's pot..

jp philips: stop talking nonsense you graduated when you did as a result of the decision you made and the opportunity you have, re you cursing people who are more privileged than you are? must you go to university to make it in life?
how many experts in Nigeria have a University degree?
did you see messi or samuel etoo in any university?

how can you throw away 26yrs of your life and want to be pitied for your error?
wen we left sec. my friend's dad told him that he is good at fixing things that he want him to learn automobile mechanic, he refused insisting on mechanical engineering, but when waec result came out, he narrowing passed maths.

father made it clear that he cannot waste his education trust fund on someone who wants to be an engineer with poor mathematics, den we were just 17.
his dad enrolled him with a 2yrs internship programme with denso in US, these guys are no close to be rich, they spent little for that 2yrs, accommodation provided by the aunt who lives there, tuition free but he cleans and arranges workshop and the company provides his food.

Denso at the time has a big contract with Toyota and other car companies so his training was intensive.

armed with an automobile competence certificate, he returned to Nigeria at 19yrs.
his father used his trust fund to hire his first workshop, by the time we were 25yrs this guy is already a multi millionaire, by the time we left the University he was already invested heavily in real estates, parts importation and auto sales.

by 29yrs when we met last he has 6 mechanical engineers on his payroll and an expert.

a lot of people have similar stories the problem with our youth is too much noise, ignorance and acute buffoonery.

you waste 30yrs of ur life trying jamb yet u blame govt, when will you give up and face your talent? when your sponsor retires and you sing to the world you have no privilege?

my first employer was a french guy with a competence certificate nothing more yet he paid my bills for years before I came to my senses.

blame blame blame! that's wot we are good at, no work at all, today is blaming employer s for their own jobs? gimme a break!.

this lousy mindset u have is the reason we have very high rate of unemployment.

turn on ur tv what do you see? our youths are watching big brother, maltina dance show, stuupid things, that contribute nada to their wellbeing, they are so poorly informed, once they open their mouths they ooze of emptiness.

Nairaland front page is not left out of this anomie im talking about, tonto today celebrity tomorrow.

How can you expect good decision from an empty head?

from your post, i doubt if you are in Nigeria, at what age did you graduate, dont be a kettle that is calling pot black, entreprenuer, hw many of them are making it in Nigeria, were is the funds, not everyone have it all go as your friend, do you knw d cost of USA visa, u nid to wake up and face reality, Nigeria Economy does not encourage private venture, all-else you have someone that will bankroll your idea.

bamto: The interpretation you gave this provision is incorrect. Please, check with a correct lawyer, and try again.

i think, im right, but i wil do as u say anyway
