I was still in school when my younger brother called me and said that an old friend of mine (Bob) had died in a cult clash. I went home for the Christmas/the burial. Two days later, we were allowed to look through his room and possibly give out some of the things worth giving out. It was in the process of ransacking the house that I stumbled on his diary... the content is supplied bellow with distorted names of people and location to avoid identification... the diary read: NOTE... the story was written like a diary file, I assembled them and so there may not be much unity... just hope u enjoy it all the same. For two years, I have written parts of this story without knowing what title to give it, of when the reality of what had happened in the first year of my study in the university will finally stop hunting. Maybe you may help me with answers to the questions that leave my heart heavy. Mind you, forgiveness is not an option for you readers. If I have to forgive, god himself will have to apologise for letting them take away the only love of my life. That is if he (God) has a sense of remorse. Just call me Bob, (that’s the name I have been called since my secondary school days). I may not be one of the most “handsomest” of guys around your neighbourhood, but I sure had my fair share of pretty girls, probably because I was extra- ordinarily intelligent. ( I can’t say for sure if I still am). It was no news therefore when I got admission into one of the most prestigious Universities in the Niger Delta. Before the orientation for fresher’s started, I had made a handful of friends because apart from being intelligent, I was also a great talker. It’s never hard for people like to build an empire of friends anywhere. And so, like a swarm of bees, we buzzed around campus like every new intake will do until we found ourselves at the orientation ground were our likes converged. “Your moda boy...” ( I was going to say your mother’s boyfriend in reply to a statement made by a friend when she walked by, the sun gracing her chocolate skin and the short black dress she wore adding splendour to her already awesome body. She was the best creation of women that I had seen in a long time). She soon mixed with the crowd and I never saw her that day... Two weeks after killing myself over a lady I was not sure to meet again passed without me setting my eyes close to anything like her. I decided to move on and soon, settled to my studies believing I had lost her even when she was never mine. Then she came again, this time to stay for good. We met in a general studies class. Trust me, I made sure she realised how intelligent I was through the question and answer sessions I had with the lecturer. She was impressed and we struck off a friendship that will today be one of my greatest undoing. The bond grew and we soon became lovers. She was innocent and lovable, wrote moving letters to me day by day. My studies suffered because they dint matter anymore, for all I cared, her love was enough. Our first kiss was heaven and I promised her there and then that I was never going to leave her. She dint believe me though because I had a reputation of being one unrepentant player. I made good my promise. What will turn out to be the beginning of the end to our love started one evening three months after we started dating. She complained of being afraid of losing me after she was threatened by a group of boys that they will deal with her since she had refused according to them to date their friend. I assure her that nothing will happen to either of us and that the threats were just to get her afraid and probably date the said guy. I was wrong. It was the 6th of March it all happened. I was returning from a party with my girl and a two of my male friends when a car overtook us. The four doors flung open, some guys came towards us and sprayed bullets into our car... i woke up days later in one of the hospitals in Asaba. Mum was there with one of my friends in the car. Jennifer and the other did not survive... As we prepared for their burials, I got a call asking me to meet them at a hotel in Ibusa... the message was short, the caller said: “we can help you if you want revenge, we can fix that. There was no need waiting for a second call, I went and few weeks later, I became a full blooded member of one of the most dreaded cult group in Delta state. There was no time to waste, the revenge mission was planned and weapons were gotten with me footing most of the bills. We were to attack on the 3rd Nov. 2012... ... Well he died in the cult clash on the morning of 4th Nov. after a bullet from the rival group hit him. He is believed to have written the following lines just before the operation because they were the last words in the diary... If I live, I pray to god my soul to keep If I die, I pray him my soul to accept. |

Dr. Tayo Oyedeji @tayooye Personal finance in the times of coronavirus. 1/ Times are tough and they will get tougher in the short term. Here's why: A supply-fueled recession is relatively easy to resolve. Just produce more stuff. A demand-fueled recession is tougher: people are just not buying stuff. We are in a demand-fueled recession. People are not buying stuff because there is so much uncertainty in the air. That means non-essential product manufacturers and service providers are not selling. They will have to lay off their staff (no sales) and the ripple effect will make things worse. How then should you react? 1. Embrace minimalism. 2. Think liquidity 3. Think necessities. Let's unpack these items. Embrace minimalism: buy just what you need and save like crazy. Should I buy a new car? NO Should I buy a new house? NO Should I buy a new (insert anything discretionary)? NO Just save and wait. Things will get much cheaper around August so you want to have cash in Q3. Liquidity: cash is king. I already alluded to this earlier - hold on to your cash or invest in liquid assets. I bought a property for $XYZ,Bleep in 2009 (during the recession) and sold it for an 85% profit margin in 2011. Recessions are great opportunities for people who save. Think necessities. You want to start a new fashion line: NO You want to start a new ad agency: NO You want to start a new event planning biz: NO Think necessities You want to build a farm: YES You want to start a new school: YES You want to start a new hospital: YES Think necessities: Your new business planning model should answer just one key question in 2020, what do people NEED? Just like they did in 2008, people will prioritize NEEDS and skimp on WANTS. Don't get stuck with high fashion products in 2020. You may NOT be able to sell it Here are the 3 key items again. 1. Embrace minimalism. 2. Think liquidity 3. Think necessities. We will be alright. The economy will pick up again later in the year. Just stay safe and socially distant from other people. All the best. BTW, my recommended liquid asset is @Overwoodng . It is safe and highly accessible. |
7 ways to beat the market recession. Dr. Tayo Oyedeji @tayooye 1. Don't "concretize" your loss. Global stocks are already down 20 - 40%. It will get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. If you are still heavily invested in the stock market. It's too late. Don't exit. Just ride it out. 2. Cash is king. Property prices will soon stumble. Equity prices will become cheaper. Cash will be the most important asset for the next few years. Keep your cash in a highly liquid instrument like @overwoodng (http://overwood.ng) and wait. Bargains are coming. 3. Diversify. It's bad practice to have more than 50% of your asset in any instrument. Diversify quickly. Have at least three investment classes/instruments. 4. Build some skills. This is the perfect time to apply for your MBA/PhD. Wages will stagnate for the next few years and corporations will retrench in large numbers. You can skip this mess by going to school for a couple years. I got my MBA during the last recession. 5. Hedge against currency risks. Currencies across Africa and the Caribbeans will lose value. The Naira, GBP, Cedis, Rand, and KSh will lose value. You may want to hold some USDs as a hedge. 6. New business. This is the perfect time start a new business focused on bargain hunters and the bottom of the pyramid. TJX has been selling discount apparels for years. But it has grown 1000% since the last recession. Recessions are great for BOP businesses. 7. Take care of yourself. Health is wealth. The NBA has suspended its season; La Liga is off; Universities are closing. This coronavirus thing is the real deal so be safe. And don't worry too much about money. Recessions are necessary market corrections. You will be ok. |
