The business world is large, it’s a sector filled with so much “milk and honey”. Entrepreneurs should probably have a planet of their own.

However, the keys to being successful in the business world include gathering information and learning from the best.

Today’s list takes a break from the traditional technique of educating business men and women on how to be successful. How about you watch it and see how it is really done.

Some of the movies on our list are true life stories of successful entrepreneur. It is time for you guys to go get some of these movies and watch.

Without much ado, these are our top 5 business movies.

1. The Social Network

“The Social Network” looks at how Mark Zuckerberg went from a student at Harvard with an uncanny knack for coding to the multimillionaire founder and CEO of Facebook.

Contrary to popular belief this is not just a story about social media. It is about the relationships, investment, mentorship and employee culture that go into transforming a great idea into a great business.

2. Wall Street

1987’s “Wall Street” may be seen as primarily a cautionary tale about the role of greed in business.

Indeed, Michael Douglas’s character Gordon Gekko has become synonymous with the worst qualities of investment industry with his well-known mantra “greed is good.”

But the movie is also a story about what the positive aspects of entrepreneurship should be: protecting jobs and growing companies to create wealth instead of selling them off piecemeal.

3. Pirates of Silicon Valley

How can a film about the competition between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates not have appeal for entrepreneurs?

“Pirates of Silicon Valley” takes place between 1971 and 1997.

During that time, it depicts the history of Apple and Microsoft. But more importantly it examines the leaders of both companies: Jobs, played by Noah Wyle and Gates, played by Anthony Micheal Hall.

The 1999 movie looks at the differences between the two business leaders and how these differences influenced the development of their companies.

4. The Wolf Of Wall Street

The importance of ethics in business is again the theme of “The Wolf of Wall Street.” The story is inspired by the real-life story of stockbroker Jordon Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Belfort, launches a firm which engages in illegal and unethical trading activities to profit at the expense of its clients.

But the companies corrupt trading practices eventually make it the focus of both the Security Exchange Commission and FBI. Belfort eventually agrees to turn on his colleagues in a deal with federal authorities, but then breaks the agreement and is given jail time.

For entrepreneurs, the lesson is simple. Profitability is not something to be pursued at the expense of your customers.

5. The Pursuit of Happyness

A true story, “The Pursuit of Happyness” follows the struggles of Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith.

Finding himself both a single father and homeless, Gardner must struggle against seemingly impossible odds to achieve a coveted stockbroker position.

For small business owners, the Gardner’s story can be an inspiration. It’s important to remember that, despite limitations, great things can be accomplished with hard work and determination.

Lagos state governor, Mr. Akinwummi Ambode today, paid a courtesy visit to his counterpath in Edo state, governor Adams Oshimole in Benin.

The governor in the process of the visit endorsed the gubernatorial flagbearer of the state Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

Executive governor of Anambra State, Dr. Willie Obiano is said to be promoting a new law in Anambra that punishes couple who fails to screen for sickle cell syndrome before formalising their marriages.

The governor, who spoke through his Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joe Akabuike, at a ceremony to mark this year’s Sickle Cell Day in Awka, said it was part of the state government’s determination to eradicate sickle cell disease.

Public affair analyst, political commentators as well as the inhabitants of the state at large have given their opinion on the 'controversial law' some arguing in support while others sees the law as repugnant to nature justice, equity and good conscience as it infringes on human choices and freedom.

Whats your view on the 'Compulsory Genotype Law' in Anambra state, are you in support or against?

Controversial senator, Dino Melaye, has once again found himself in the news and this time, it has nothing to do with his flamoyant lifestyle or declaration of his unwavering support for embattled senate president, Bukola Saraki.

Melaye, is again in the news, but this time, its because of his issues with Remi Tinubu, wife of ‘Jagaban’ himself Tinubu. Many things were said right there in the floors of the senate due to the adrenaline rush and when we taught that was all, but, they continued, dropping more bombshell that we have no option but bring them to you our esteemed readers so you always stay abreast current trends in the polity.

Here are 5 things we find rather funny than taking serious in the whole Melaye vs Remi epic ‘Mortal Kombat’ battle:

1. The beating and impregnating part.

Knowing the kind of person Dino is, I would say i wasn’t too surprised hearing those statements “I will beat and impregnate you, and nothing will happen”.
The surprise actually this time, was who the statement was directed at – the wife of the APC Jagaban. ‘Dino get mind sha’

2. She has reached Menopause really! Dino?

Well let me gist you, shortly after the internet broke over the fight of ‘two adults’ on the senate floor, Senator Dino rushed on air to give out a press statement clarifying things he said and didn’t say. Then he dropped the biggest bomb of all, by referring to Tinubu’s wife as ‘medically impossible’ to get pregnant. He did not stop there, he said, she has reached ‘menopause’, unbelievable! you will say, well I said something bigger than that when I watched a clip of the statement.

Seriously is Dino trying to quench the fire or he is trying to start a big one? For me I will place my money on the later.

3. Malaye the Thug, Dog

For a senator to be called a thug is bad enough, then adding Dog, and to add salt to injury, all this statement coming from a woman. Haba Senator Remi, why ‘naw’? Because me am now confused, did you really call Melano all this knowing his reputation with the opposite sex?

4. All Hail King Dino, the new leader of Borudillon Street.

Senator Melaye in other to show supporter that he is not scared of anybody went to a trip in a Lagos and he visited the popular Bourdilion Street where the Tinubu’s reside. I guess that action alone rings many bell, in all of this.

5. Is Senator Remi Tinubu Really rude?

Though am not trying to defend every of Dino’s outburst during their fracas nor the ‘thug, dog’ lines credited to Senator Tinubu.

However, like Africans that we are, there goes the saying that there is no smoke without fire. So, if the recent Facebook post (why always Remi) by Senator Melaye is anything to go by, then I have but one question to ask, is Remi Tinubu rude?

Do let us know your opinion in this epic fracas of two ‘distinguished’ senators in the comment box.

When you are in race to achieve a goal, it is pertinent that you follow whatever rules might have been laid down to get you to that desired destination.

Usually, Businessmen and women read about what they should do, buy, and read to be great and successful. But how about things they should not do?

Our list comprises of things a good businessman should never do.

1. Wake up without a plan

Time management is a crucial part of being an entrepreneur. There are only so many hours in a day, so to be efficient you need to know what your goals are and what tasks you need to get done prior to starting your day. If you are scrambling to create a plan of attack every day you are going to be in trouble. End each day by mapping out the following day’s to-do list.

2. Never Look back

As an entrepreneur, you are going to face hard times, difficult decisions and possibly even failure at some point. Don’t let small bumps in the road stop your forward progress. Find ways to maneuver around obstacles and continue to push forward, never looking back.

3. Choose short-term comfort over long-term benefit.

Once successful people know they want something that requires a painful, time-limited step, they do not mind the painful step because it gets them to a long-term benefit. Living out this principle is one of the most fundamental differences between successful and unsuccessful people, both personally and professionally.

4. Be scared to make changes, Evolve or adapt

You need to be willing and able to adjust your plan and overall strategy, because there is a very good chance that you will need to adapt to maintain success in the future. Imagine if Apple never adapted and just stuck to making computers? After releasing the iPod it started manufacturing smartphones, tablets and now are releasing its first wearable technology, the Apple Watch. Once just a computer company, it is now a consumer-electronics powerhouse.

5. Let failure stop you

Most statistics state that, eight out of every 10 new businesses fail. Successful entrepreneurs go into everything knowing that there is a chance of failure. If in fact they fail, it is viewed as part of their growth and they keep plugging along.

Some of us actually tell these lies to ourselves every other day of the week.

So, you all know that kind of unplanned situation you sometimes find yourself and just to make yourself feel good, you lie to yourself and move on, but three days later, you are back at that same unplanned yet hilarious situation, and again, the lies comes rolling in.

Here are 5 hilarious lies we tell ourselves.

1. I Am Never Going To Get This Drunk Again

I think I can say most party people out there have found themselves in this kind of situation. So you are at this party and you keep downing the wine that just miraculously keep popping up your way, maybe, due to its sweet nature or that conversation you might be having with a hot girl/boy, you unknowingly exceed your limit, and suddenly the toilet becomes your best friend.

You begin to hear statements like, ‘Lord, if you can get me out of this situation without embarrassing myself too much or making me die from too much vomiting, I promise never to drink/drink so much again.’ Yeah, you know that situation right…..3 days later,there you are turning up at yet another party doing the exact same thing.

2. I Am Not Going To Cuss Out Anyone While driving

This gets me every time. You hear some people who maybe are just leaving church, or a spiritual gathering promising never to cuss at any one while driving, no matter how frustrated they might be, alas, the words just start rolling off your lips the minute you start your vehicle. But really how do you want to achieve this in a place like Lagos where everyone driving seems to be out to get the next driver. You tell yourself you won’t cuss, the next minute, you cuss out someone’s entire generation and its next in less than a minute.

You hear words like, ‘And I have promised myself I won’t cuss today (In your head) Oga, you must be mad, did you not see me traficatting?’ Or words like, ‘Oya sleep on the road now, since it looks like you have arrived home and have packed in you garage.’

3. Its my cheat day, I can have Chocolate, Ice-cream or any other fattening food.

This majorly relates to the weight watchers. Even I have had days I fell a victim. In as much as you try to stay fit and trim, there will be days you just go beyond the limit.

You hear words like, ‘I am just going to eat this one cup of ice cream, will work off the calories later tonight.’ Huh, its night time, time to work out, yeah, will just walk more on my way to work instead of driving or taking a cab…lies child. That workout session isn’t going to happen in the next five years.

4. I am on a diet

Again for the weight watchers. Some actually start out great but the next day, you hear…hmmm, will start watching what I eat starting from next week. I already started eating junks this week, let me continue that way for the rest of the week, will start eating healthy from next week. Huh, tell that to your shirts and pants who have to put up with the extra folds of fat in your body.

5. I Am Going To Have sex With My Husband At Least 4 Times A Week

This is for the married ones, we all know we do this. Some of us, before getting married, we make this promise that once we get married we will at least try to have sex with our husband 4 times a week. I want to believe this promise was made while you were still trying to get the ring, wanting to feel all cute and all, or before you had a baby, because ladies…..lies child, lies!!!! Getting it going twice a week might be like a huge achievement for months on end.

In this generation and time, no one wants to be left out and so you’re probably wondering out of curiosity with all the noise and twist of a game, just a mere game. Well, this is not just any game.

So what is Pokémon?

To start with Pokémon, is coined from the name ‘’pocket monster.’’ Pokémon is a game with animal creature and the deal is to catch as many Pokémon as possible.

Now that you have that together, that’s basically the first steps of the game. You probably have the face that says seriously? It’s that simple? Apparently, it is that simple. Took me a while to understand it myself, so you’re not alone at this.

So I know I said it’s that simple, well, the truth is it isn’t simple, its complex and involves a lot of walking around. Yes walking around. It could be regarded as exercise though.

This is how it works. Beyond the fact that it is a game, it is also a game that brings one in line with reality.

So you get the app after registrations and all. Remember the game is all about getting as many Pokémon as possible and how that’s done is that you open your camera and a map comes out after you choose a character representing you.

On your screen, it shows you directions where you could find other Pokémon. The map on your screen, showing your surroundings like they appear in a real situation. The idea is to walk with your map leading you to where you find a Pokémon and when you find one you swipe a ball to hit the Pokémon on your screen.
Am sure you will agree with me that it is complicated because the truth is it is actually complicated and you’re left wondering why it’s causing so much buzz.

These are things you should know about Pokémon for a starter

Am sure you will agree with me that it is complicated because the truth is it is actually complicated and you’re left wondering why it’s causing so much buzz.

1. Singular And Plural Are The Same

So you already know it’s a game but another thing you must know is that the singular and plural for Pokémon is still Pokémon, so you don’t get yourself embarrassed and laughed at.

The truth is the trend is weighty and people who want to know will ask you and if you’re like me that doesn’t like to say ‘’I don’t know.’’ Will understand what i mean.

2. It’s Free

Who doesn’t like a free thing? This is definitely another reason to why it’s trending so much. Come on! Who would say no to something free?

So for now the app is free but for a full experience the app is in purchase offered by the game and later this month, they are introducing a $35 wearable Bluetooth that alerts you when a Pokémon is close by.

I even tried downloading the game this morning, yes i tried and that leads me to the other thing you must know.



3. Is It Available In Your Country?

Pokémon is only available in some countries, in other words not everyone gets the opportunity to play the game.

Pokémon is only available in Australia, Canada, Domican Republic, Egypt, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom and winners of the just concluded Euros Portugal.

4. Will this Buzz go away?

Before the Pokémon Go there was Pokémon and it was just a game with controls. It didn’t involve all this moving around.

The game is legal and the company behind it is Niantic inc. it is supported by the big players like Google and Nintendo itself.

I doubt this buzz will go especially when it hits the other part of the world.

The app is already netting more downloads than a number of social media sites and even about to outperform Twitter o a daily number of users. If you ask me that’s massive, and am left to imagine what happens when it hits the other part of the world.

This buzz is definitely not going anywhere.

5. You Can Say Goodbye To Your Battery

Trust me, this isn’t what you want to see or hear but the truth is it will drain your battery so fast you wouldn’t know what hit your battery. In order to play this game, it involves your GPS, Wi-Fi connection and even your camera to play this game.

I think i don’t need to stress this after saying all of that; you can be rest assured that all you will be left with is a bad battery.

In a statement though, Niantic addresses the worry of low battery and say they are trying to find a solution to it.


6. How Safe Is This?

Well, for a start it’s safe but along the line it gets all soaked up with events that can put you in danger.

Since we settled the part that it involves walking around to different places that normally you will probably not go to, you might be unfamiliar with certain locations and it could even lead you to streams like the news that a dead man was found by someone playing the Pokémon and reports believe the man was drowned. So yes, you’re advised not to be alone and avoid the woods and lonely deserted areas.

Because you will be holding your phone while working, there have also been reports about broken ankles and people running through a pole and the likes.

People have been tracked and robbed and with your phone exposed right in front of you, it doesn’t appear to be very safe.


Just a disclaimer, do according to the risk you can handle but as much as possible be safe.

We all know that most of our foods here in Nigeria are heavily high in carbohydrate and to lose that extra pound will not be an easy task when we have to eat mostly carbohydrate based foods.

Today, we will be discussing five healthy Nigerian snack, every weight watcher out there can easily eat without the fear of adding weight.

1. Garden eggs:
This food is one of the healthiest food we have in the country. Now, garden eggs can either be eaten raw or cooked, but, for snacking purposes, we definitely have to eat them raw. Garden egg, which is high in fibre, helps fill us up in no time, thereby ensuring we do not eat too much food, which in turn ensures minimum calorie intake that results in weight loss. Garden eggs are also rich in vitamins and potassium, two major nutrients the body needs.

2. Peanut:
Now, we should note that peanut, does not fall in the low calorie food division, however, it is high in fiber and protein, and according to a 2009 research published in ‘The Journal Of Nutrition’, protein, helps in burning fat. One should however be certain not to overindulge in this snack as just an ounce of peanut is 161 calories.

3. Okpa:
A delight to most people living in Lagos and the good news about this food is, its packed full of protein. Need something to snack on while less busy at home pr at a friend’s, why not snack on Okpa. Okpa is made from bambara nut which has so many benefits in it to include, lowering of cholesterol, does some antimicrobial actions, helps ensure our bones are healthy amongst several other benefits.

4. Eggs:
A hard boiled egg I ensure is part of my meal on a daily basis. Eggs have several benefits which ensures that our system works perfectly. One of the many health benefits of eggs is the presence of protein in it. A single large egg contains about 6 grams of protein, and as we all know a body that has just about the right amount of protein can help with weight loss, increase muscle mass, lower blood pressure and optimize bone health… to name a few

5. Boli (Roasted plantain):
This snack is found virtually ob most streets and corners around the country and is just perfect for those already on a low calorie diet. This snack could be made either with ripe or unripe plantain depending on how sweet the tooth of the buyer is. An unripe plantain contains about 22o calories while the ripe one contains 252. The number of boli you can snack on during your leisure hours(s) now depends on how much calories you have already have for the day.

Permit me to begin with this task, go to google search, and type ‘Niger Delta’ automatically google will predict ‘Niger Delta Avengers’, that’s how popular the group have become, they are now SEO friendly.

Many online news portal have created new pages for the group because they see it as a trending topic, well I don’t blame them on this, we in the digital media knows the amount of traffic any news on this group generates.
When news of the agitating militants in the creek camp up, the government initially disregarded it, to them it was a political move by loyalist to former president Jonathan, or perhaps it was an agitation a little ‘Police Action’ can curb. Little did the government knew that these boys in the creek meant business, hence the reason for penning this piece.

Can the government fight down militancy in the region? Or will they negotiate with these militants to bring an end to militancy in the region?

I totally believe that a negotiation with these militants won’t make our government look weak but it’s a step in these right direction, and this is why I think so:

1. The Militants Are Agitators Not Terrorist
They exist a strong difference between a group of armed agitators or freedom fighters from a terrorist cell, that why I never supported any move for the government to negotiate with Boko Haram. The militants in the creek are agitators and to a large extent they are fighting against the injustice melted out against their people.

2. They Have The Support Of The Locals

Admit it or not, the indigenous people of Niger Delta are in support of the activities of the militants (after all they claim their agitators is on their behalf). Admit it or not, these locals knows who the militants are, they even know the people behind it, yet you don’t see them ratting them out, why? It’s this simple, they are in support of their activities, and they stand solidly behind them, no wonder little or no Intel is being distributed to the security agencies that are combating the militants.

3. The Militants Adopts Guerilla Warfare Tactics

It’s almost impossible fighting an enemy that adopts the guerilla warfare tactics. During the Vietnam War, this pattern was adopted and it made the Americans suffer huge damage. In guerilla warfare, every negative approach of winning a battle is adopted, ambush, attacking unprepared fighters, attacking while pretending to be civilians and a whole lot of negative combat method, but in all, guerilla combatants never engages in an all-out combat.

The Niger Delta Militants adopts this pattern, so it will be extremely difficult to know who your enemies are, and if you don’t know them, how can you win?

4. They Are Sophisticated

One won’t be far from the truth if you say the militants are professionally trained and they have a structure that works for them. Every of their attack was pre-stated, thoroughly planned and executed. They made it known that there won’t have any military nor civilian casualty in their attacks, and this they have professionally done.

5. It Brings The Government Closer To The People Of Niger Delta

Wrong advisers of the president will tell him that negotiating with this group will make him weak, or that they can crush these agitators. But in sheer honesty, those options have been tried and it failed or it’s failing.

Now is the time to show the people of Niger Delta that the government listens, believe me, this is a step in the right direction. President Yar Adua (God bless his soul) did it, and it didn’t make him any weaker, rather it cemented his name in Nigeria’s history and the history of the Niger Delta people.

Do you agree that the President Buhari led administration should negotiate with the Niger Delta militants?

Let us know what you think in the comment box.

SAMBATLAN:
ok

space bookers..... lolz

mrvitalis:
And u list the plan nnamdi Kanu has please??
How will Biafra get electricity (because the capacity in the igbo land is not upto 500mw)
How will we import. ..
Were will even be the capital

thanks for your series of questions... There is no plans for Biafra once we are separated from Nigeria, and thats the obvious truth.

The term ‘Brexit’ has dominated the news of late, economics guru are faced-down to their drawing board trying to come up with a plan, a plan that will ease the economic stress that is likely to align with the decision of Britain to leave the European Union.

Some Britons have come to term with this new reality ‘Brexit’ they now know their fate, others are playing the ‘Game of Time’ waiting for time to settle their fate, a surprising few are asking what the term ‘Brexit’ means, coming to google for lifeline.

Brexit Explained

Brexit is coined from two words, ‘British Exit’ which simply means, the exit of Britain from the European Union. It was a voting decision carried out by all countries in the United Kingdom on the 23rd of June 2016.
Friends have been asking me, “Does it mean that Britain is no longer an European state”? “Is Britain now a continent on its own”? Questions I find rather funny.

However, let me use this piece to address all questions on that, Britain remains an European nation as geographical complexities would have it, however, it is the Union (EU) that they recently decided not to be a part of. Same way Nigeria can decided to draw back its membership to the African Union and the ECOWAS.

A Plan without a plan

The propounders of the Brexit movement did a great job on the campaign for the Brexit. When it all started, they were underdogs going by the odds, prominent British parliamentarians were on the ‘Remain’ side, the full weight of the British Prime Minister David Cameron was on the ‘Team Remain’, and also surprising was the late British MP, Jo Cox (Oh! Such a gentle soul) she stood firmly on the ‘Remain’ side, before her untimely death.

Despite these odds mounting against the Brexit movement, they still manage to win. This show clearly a particular variable, the people championing the exit of Britain from Europe had a plan, and they stay through to their plan till the attainment of the plan that led to the now popular Brexit. Obviously, the plans for Brexit has worked, but what the movement now lack is a plan after Brexit, hence the tag “A plan without a plan”.

Can Nigeria have a referendum?

Shortly after a chunk of the British population voted for the exit of Britain from the EU, political commentators started the comparison, can Nigeria be like Britain? Can we have a referendum to discuss Biafra? And the obvious answer to the thoughts of these politicians is simple, “Nigeria’s democracy is not yet ripe for such”

If you have been a follower of my column, you would have known my clear stance on the Biafran movement, and it’s simple, I stand afar from the current movement. A stance that have made me receive various cyber and vocal threat from the foot soldiers of the movement.
My lack of support for this current agitation of Biafra, does it make me less Igbo than those clamoring for Biafra? The answer is “No” I am not in support of the current Biafran movement solely because Nnamdi Kanu and the ‘rest’ are yet to state their plans for an independent Biafra outside of Nigeria, and not just ‘talking cheap’ but real and accurate economic plans that will see the survival of ‘infant Biafra’, sadly that’s an angle that is yet to be discussed whenever Biafra is being mentioned, they only focus on the sufferings of Igbos in Nigeria (as if suffering is exclusively ours).

The voice of the people is the voice of God

We can have a referendum here in Nigeria, I am pretty sure about that, irrespective of the current president’s opinion on this, as long as the people speaks with one voice, after all, “the voice of the people is the voice of God”. And referendum is not achieved with street protest and road blocks that will end up being bloody, but by politicking and consultation, public opinions and conducting of polls, this way general participation can be gained and we will have our referendum.
But before that, have we learnt our lessons from Brexit? Can we now push our focus on the way forward for the Igbos when we achieve Biafra, because this is the only and the best tool that can be adopted to win the heart of the many ‘undecided igbos’ myself included.

I rest my case.

thesicilian:
I don't even think Donald Trump is a good example for politicians. He talks without processing it first, seems to be at war with everybody and will find it very difficult taking advice from others.

In spite what you mentioned, don't you think there are still positives we can learn from the Enigma "Trump" ?

Change they say is constant in life, and so also is learning, you don't learning new things, for they shape and define you.

And since Donald Trump is making wave in not just the US politics but the worlds politics, it would be only wise our politicians learn these few things from Mr Trump, because believe me, we are way way tired of their same old story and antics.

sometimes, I do ask myself “why do you support Mr. Trump, despite everything negative he has said about my countrymen and women”, and the answer is quite simple,
he is making those statements because of his love for the American people. America has lost its greatness, so says Mr. Trump, and he is on a mission of making America great
again. One thing I have learnt from the Trump character is saying the ‘truth’, don’t think, just say the truth, and that’s what Mr. Trump stands for.

If I can learn from Mr. Trump, so can our politicians, perhaps, they too can start their own journey of making Nigeria great again.

Here is a compilation of things Nigeria politicians can learn from Donald Trump, the leading candidate of the Republican Party in America.

1. Citizens are tired of lies : in the presidential campaign of Donald Trump so far, no journalist have been able to pinpoint any lies in his statements. He tells Americans things straight up from his mind, irrespective of who he might hurt in the process.

2. Be daring : Trump as we all know can be daring, throwing shades at will to President Obama, Hillary Clinton and surprising of them all, Pope Benedict. Yet his pools don't get affected. Nigeria politicians dares not to dare, even when they are in opposite sides with political gladiators, they act like "zombie" for fear of losing political relevance.

3. Your people comes first : Trump understands this clearly,and it have been his major push. He knows the average Americans don't like immigrants, he knows that they are scared of losing jobs to foreigners and tell them his plans in stopping them have only endeared him to their hearts. Nigerian politicians is clearly aware that unemployment and power supply is one of greatest challenge yet they can't tell us how to fix these things and be 'our Trump'.

4. Speak first and talk later : now this is a tricky one, but it has always landed in the favor of Mr Trump. So either he says right or wrong, the people acknowledge and ignore the wrong ones. Can our politicians be this honest where we trust their words without doubting ?

5. Politics is never a business : Donald Trump will always tell you that he is not a politician, he won't act like one. Which is true, Trump is an American business and one of the richest men in America. He was very rich before he decided to run for office. With Nigerian politicians, the reverse is the case, they sees politics as a business. Numerous times when I interview some individuals and ask them, what they do for a living, surprisingly they answer "I am a politician, by profession". As if politics is now a business.

Olajumoke Olajumoke Olajumoke. how many times did I call your name. hmmmmm (In Pete Edochie's voice )
