You simply can't start a business a month before traveling.
If you need to spend the money, convert it to the currency you're going to need.
But to invest in Nigeria, land/property is your best bet-
Depending on where your mum is, buy a piece of land or an old building.
Make sure you get the c of o.
Name your mum in your WILL as the beneficiary; yes, get one made.
There are many templates online.
Also, register a company/business name and name her as the trustee/landlady of the property.
You can rent the land out for various things and Co-manage it with her, to meet her upkeep.
You can build, or repair/remodel the (old) property. Then rent to tenants- preferably businesses- thru a property management firm.
Most of what you need for repairs can be ordered online.
Get her a low-cost, used car and driver for her mobility.
Go with God.

Modified-
If she's too old or can't be bothered with the work involved, find a junior worker at your firm to bless with the opportunity to set up the above.
Avoid words like "trust or my person"-
Make sure everything is properly documented and signed by all parties.
Bless

Good morning my fellow Nlanders… Please I have 18 million Naira which I mapped out for business investment. But I want to first of all invest 10-15 million Naira first and keep the remaining 3 million aside. But my major challenge now is which business or “lucrative” business I can invest in. Bearing in mind that I’m also leaving the country in a month time, I’m 31 and this is my first time of trying to venture in a business with such amount.
Please I need suggestions and advice.

Yes, it was eye service.
True, he had no business in the power sector.
But how come his "gallant" efforts to help Nigeria become free of generators weren't applauded?

German Chancellor Merkel responds to Chimamanda’s question on Siemens-Nigeria power project
Victoria Edeme
15 September 2021

Renowned Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie, has taken the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, to task over the Siemens-Nigeria Power project.
Chimamanda had asked Merkel about the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) regime’s contract with Siemens to increase electricity in Nigeria.
Siemens is a German multinational conglomerate that has been active in Nigeria since the 1950s, and had established its first representative office in the country in 1970.

Chimamanda and Chancellor Merkel were the guest speakers at a panel held at the Düsseldorf’s Schauspielhaus theater earlier in the month, alongside journalists and entrepreneurs Miriam Meckel and Lea Steinacker.
Their discussion focused on their own commonalities and differences, particularly as women: Adichie, as a leading feminist author and thinker, and Merkel, as the world’s most powerful female political leader.
The two women also discussed several other topics, including the state of democracy, social media, and even fashion.
In an interesting turn, Chimamanda asked Merkel about the Nigeria-Siemens project that is meant to increase electricity generation in Nigeria.

In response, the Chancellor proceeded to explain German involvements in other countries, adding, “I will get back to you. You will get your answer,” Online publication, Open Country, states.
On August 31, 2018, in Abuja, the Presidential Power Initiative (formerly the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap) was formed between Nigeria and Germany during a visit by the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel and her business delegation which included Joe Kaeser, Siemens AG CEO.
The two nations agreed to explore cooperation in several areas. One such area of cooperation aims to resolve the challenges in the power sector and to expand the capacity for future power needs.
“Siemens will help to facilitate financing for the project through the German Export Credit Agency (Euler Hermes AG), other ECA’s, and other financing Agencies,” the company stated on its website.

Dateline: July 22, 2019. Event: Signing of the Implementation Agreement for Nigeria in Abuja. From left to right: Onyeche Tifase, CEO Siemens Nigeria, Alex A. Okoh, Director General of Bureau of Public Enterprises, Joe Kaeser, President and CEO of Siemens AG and Regine Hess, German deputy ambassador to Nigeria.

Some of you may be too young to remember Tai Solarin. He was a fierce govt critic, but later accepted appointment from Babangida. After that his name was tarnished and all credibility gone.

how are they my tribesmen?
"assuming makes u an ass."
rot starts from the head, right? so why blame the body that follows?
and if u stand with the devil as he perpetrates evil, can you demand to enter heaven?
if Osinbajo is your kinsman and u fail to caution him on his silence, what makes u different from Cain?

China's Lehman Brothers moment? Investors mob HQ of failing Chinese property conglomerate with $300BILLION of debt to demand their money back - amid fears giant company could collapse and hit the world economy.
- Protesters mobbed a failing Chinese property company in Shenzhen yesterday

Investors demanding their money back have mobbed the headquarters of a failing Chinese property company with huge $300billion debts amid fears it is about to collapse and devastate the Chinese economy.
Around 100 anxious investors yesterday forced their way into the lobby of the Shenzhen headquarters of the property giant Evergrande after it said it was facing 'unprecedented difficulties'.
The Hong Kong-listed developer is sinking under a mountain of liabilities totalling more than $300 billion after years of borrowing to fund rapid growth.
An estimate by Capital Economics says that Evergrande has some 1.4 million properties that it has committed to complete - around 1.3 trillion yuan ($200 billion) in pre-sale liabilities, as of the end of June.
Its plight has raised fears of a contagion across the debt-laden Chinese property sector - which accounts for more than a quarter of the economy - with a knock on for banks and investors.
Some analysts have questioned if China faces a 'Lehman Brothers moment' in reference to the collapse of the Wall Street investment bank that triggered the 2008 credit crunch.
Security personnel formed a human wall to protect staff at the embattled firm as protesters shouted for executives to repay loans.
Executives have insisted the firm will avoid a bankruptcy that many fear could have a huge impact on the world's number-two economy, but have conceded the conglomerate is under 'tremendous pressure'.
The Hong Kong-listed developer is sinking under a mountain of liabilities totaling more than $300billion after years of borrowing to fund rapid growth.

General Manager and Legal Representative of Evergrande's wealth management division Du Liang spoke to protesters and provided a two year repayment plan.
But investors reportedly rejected the offer amid fears the firm will file for bankruptcy before it can repay the loans.
Demonstrations have also taken place online in recent months, in forums hosted by the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party. Anxious investors there have called on the government to step in.
The group was downgraded by two credit rating agencies last week while its shares tumbled below their 2009 listing price, as a battery of bad headlines and speculation of its imminent collapse ran out across Chinese social media.
The company today issued a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange, saying it had hired financial advisers to explore 'all feasible solutions' to ease its cash crunch and warned that there was no guarantee it would meet its financial obligations.
The firm blamed 'ongoing negative media reports' for damaging sales in the pivotal September period, 'thereby resulting in the continuous deterioration of cash collection by the Group which would in turn place tremendous pressure on the Group's cashflow and liquidity'.
Shares in the firm fell nine per cent Tuesday, and are down almost 80 per cent since the start of the year.
An estimate by Capital Economics says that Evergrande has some 1.4 million properties that it has committed to complete - around $200billion in pre-sale liabilities, as of the end of June.

Its plight has raised fears of a contagion across the debt-laden Chinese property sector - which accounts for more than a quarter of the economy - with a knock on for banks and investors.
'Evergrande's collapse would be the biggest test that China's financial system has faced in years,' said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital economics.
Yet 'markets don't seem concerned about the potential for financial contagion at the moment,' he said, adding 'that would change in the event of large-scale default', which would likely prod the central bank to step in and buttress the teetering developer.
'The most likely endgame is now a managed restructuring in which other developers take over Evergrande's uncompleted projects in exchange for a share of its land bank,' Williams said.

The pictures of angry investors outside the firm's Shenzhen HQ could also cause alarm in Beijing, where leaders are keen to keep a lid on any form of social unrest.
Some creditors have demanded immediate payback of loans, Bloomberg News reported earlier this month.
Evergrande has already sold stakes in some of its wide-ranging assets and offered steep discounts to offload apartments, but still reported a 29 per cent slide in profit for the first half of the year.
It is also struggling to sell its Hong Kong headquarters, even at a loss.
The developer was founded in 1996 by Xu Jiayin, who went on to become China's richest man during the country's property boom of the 1990s.
He poured money into mass developments in new cities, raising $9 billion in its 2009 IPO in Hong Kong.
A year later Xu bought a struggling football team and renamed it Guangzhou Evergrande, lavishing millions of dollars on salaries for its stars and scooping titles. Evergrande started to falter under the new 'three red lines' imposed on developers in a state crackdown in August 2020 - forcing the group to offload properties at increasingly steep discounts.

Jesus in Islam
In Islam, Isa refers to Jesus. For other uses, see Isa (disambiguation) and Isa (name).
In Islam , ʿĪsā ibn Maryam (Arabic: ﻋِﻴﺴَﻰ ﭐﺑْﻦُ ﻣَﺮْﻳَﻢَ, lit.  'Jesus, son of Mary'), or Jesus , is the penultimate prophet and messenger of God (Allah ) and the Messiah, who was sent to guide the Children of Israel with a new revelation: Injīl (Arabic for " gospel ". [1][2]
As in the Christian New Testament , the Quran (the central religious text of Islam) describes Jesus as the Messiah (al-Masih in Arabic), born of a virgin, performing miracles, accompanied by disciples, rejected by the Jewish establishment, and being raised to heaven. [3] But the Quran differs from the New Testament in denying Jesus was crucified or died on the cross, and especially in rejecting the divinity of Jesus as God incarnate, or the
Son of God .
The significance of Jesus in Islam is reflected in his being mentioned in the Quran in 93
verses with various titles attached such as "Son of Mary " and other relational terms, mentioned directly and indirectly, over 187 times. [4][5][6][7][8] Jesus is more briefly described in Chapter 19 of Quran named as
Mary . He is thus one of the most mentioned people in the Quran by reference; 25 times by the name Isa, third-person 48 times, first-person 35 times, and the rest as titles and attributes. [note 1][note 2][9][note 3]
The Quran and hadiths (testimonial reports) mention Jesus to have been born a "pure boy" (without sin) to Mary (ﻣﺮﻳﻢ) as the result of
virginal conception , similar to the event of the
Annunciation in Christianity . [4][10][11] The Quran denies Jesus as a deity in several verses, including one that mentions that Jesus did not claim to be divine (Q5:116 ). [3] According to the Quran, he was neither
crucified nor raised from the dead , but was rather saved by God. [12] (Although the earliest Islamic traditions and exegesis quote somewhat conflicting reports regarding a death and its length, Muslims believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, but still believe that he was raised alive to heaven ).[13][14] Over the centuries, Muslim writers have referenced other miracles like casting out demons, having borrowed from some heretical pre-Islamic sources, and from canonical sources as legends about Jesus were expanded. [15]
In Islam, Jesus is believed to have been the precursor to the Islamic prophet
Muhammad . [16][15] Like all prophets in Islam, Jesus is also called a Muslim , as he preached that his followers should adopt the " straight path ". In Islamic eschatology , Jesus will return in a Second Coming to fight Gog and Magog and Al-Masih ad-Dajjal or "False Messiah" and establish peace and justice on earth.

Jesus' lineage, going back to his great-grandfather.
The account of Jesus begins with a prologue narrated several times in the Quran first describing the birth of his mother, Mary, and her service in the Jerusalem temple , while under the care of the prophet and priest
Zechariah , who was to be the father of John the Baptist. The birth narrative in the Quran for Jesus begins at Quran 19:16–34 and Q3:45–53. [17] The birth narrative has been recounted with certain variations and detailed additions by Islamic historians over the centuries.
While Islamic theology affirms Mary as a pure vessel regarding the virgin birth of Jesus , it does not follow the concept of Immaculate Conception as related to Mary's birth in some Christian traditions. [18]
Annunciation
See also: Annunciation
Islamic exegesis affirms the virginal birth of Jesus similarly to the Gospel account and occurring in Bethlehem. [19] The narrative of the virgin birth is an announcement to Mary by the angel Gabriel while Mary is being raised in the Temple after having been pledged to God by her mother. Gabriel states she is honored over all women of all nations and has brought her glad tidings of a holy son. [20]
A hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (d. 681), an early companion of the Prophet, quotes Muhammad explaining that both Jesus and Mary were protected from Satan's touch at birth; a quoting of Al Imran (Q3:36 ). [21]
The
Annunciation in miniature
The angel declares the son is to be named Jesus, the Messiah, proclaiming he will be called a great prophet, and is the Spirit of God and Word of God, who will receive al-Injīl (Arabic for the gospel ). The angel tells Mary that Jesus will speak in infancy, and when mature, will be a companion to the most righteous. Mary, asking how she could conceive and have a child when no man had touched her, was answered by the angel that God can decree what He wills, and it shall come to pass. [22]
The conception of Jesus as described by Ibn Arabi (d. 1240), an Andalusian scholar, Sufi
mystic , poet and philosopher, in the Bezels of Wisdom :
From the water of Mary or from the breath of Gabriel,
In the form of a mortal fashioned of clay,
The Spirit came into existence in an essence
Purged of Nature's taint, which is called Sijjin (prison)
Because of this, his sojourn was prolonged,
Enduring, by decree, more than a thousand years.
A spirit from none other than God,
So that he might raise the dead and bring forth birds from clay. [23]
Pseudo-Arabic on the Christ Child's blanket,
Gentile da Fabriano
The narrative from the Quran continues with Mary, overcome by the pains of childbirth, being provided a stream of water under her feet from which she could drink and a palm tree which she could shake so ripe dates would fall and be enjoyed. After giving birth, Mary carries baby Jesus back to the temple and she is asked by the temple elders about the child. Having been commanded by Gabriel to a vow of silence, she points to the infant Jesus and the infant proclaims:
He said, I am God's servant; He has given me the Book, and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am, and has enjoined on me the Worship and Alms, so long as I live; and to be dutiful to my mother; and has not made me oppressive, impious. Peace is on me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised alive. [24]
Jesus speaking from the cradle is one of six miracles attributed to him in the Quran. [25] The speaking infant theme is also found in the
Syriac Infancy Gospel, a pre-Islamic sixth-century work. [26]
Birth narratives
According to the Quran, the pains of labor took Mary to the trunk of a palm tree.
The Islamic faith echoed some strands within the Christian tradition that Mary (or Maryam) was a literal virgin when Jesus was conceived. The most detailed account of the annunciation and birth of Jesus is provided in Surah 3 (Al Imran ) and 19 (Maryam ) of the Quran where the story is narrated that God (Allah) sent an angel to announce that Maryam could shortly expect to bear a son, despite being a virgin. [27]
Some academics have noted that the account in Surah 19[28] is particularly close to that in the Christian Gospel of Luke. [29] The Annunciation to Mary is mentioned twice in the Quran and in both instances Mary/ Maryam is told that she was chosen by God to deliver a son. In the first instance, the bearer of the news (who is believed by most Muslims to be the archangel Gabriel), delivered the news in (Q3:42-47 ) as he takes the form of a man (Q19:16-22 ). [30][31] The details of the conception are not discussed but when Mary asks how she can bear a son in view of her chastity she is told that God creates what he wills and that these things are easy for God. [30][32] The Quran (Q21:91 and Q66:12 ) says that God blew through his angel into Mary and she, although being chaste, bore Jesus without any father. [33][34]
Ibn Ishaq (d. 761 or 767), an Arab historian and
hagiographer, wrote the account entitled Kitab al-Mubtada (In the Beginning), reporting that Zechariah is Mary's guardian briefly, and after being incapable of maintaining her, he entrusts her to a carpenter named George. Secluded in a church, she is joined by a young man named Joseph, and they help one another fetching water and other tasks. The account of the birth of Jesus follows the Quran's narrative, adding that the birth occurred in Bethlehem beside a palm tree with a manger. [35]
Al-Tabari (d. 923), a Persian scholar and historian, contributed to the Jesus birth narrative by mentioning envoys arriving from the king of Persia with gifts (similar to the Magi from the east ) for the Messiah; the command to a man called Joseph (not specifically Mary's husband) to take her and the child to Egypt and later return to Nazareth .[36]
The Fatimid Ismaili jurist Qadi al-Nu’man also contributed to the narrative, explaining that the virgin birth of Jesus is meant to be interpreted symbolically. In his interpretation, Mary was the follower (lāḥiq ), of the Imam Joachim (‘Imran). However, when Joachim realized that she was not suited for the Imamah , he passed it to Zechariah, who then passed it to John the Baptist. Meanwhile, Mary received spiritual inspiration (mādda ) from God, revealing that he would invite a man [to the faith] who would become an exalted Speaker (nāṭiq) of a revealed religion (sharīʿa ). According to al-Nu’man, the verses “She said: Lord! How can I have a child when no man has touched me?” (Quran 3:47 )[37] and “neither have I been unchaste” (Quran 19:20 ) are symbolic of Mary's saying, “How can I conduct the invitation (daʿwa) when the Imam of the Time has not given me permission to do so?” and “Nor shall I be unfaithful by acting against his command”, respectively. To this, a celestial hierarch replies “Such is God. He creates [i.e., causes to pass] what he wills” (Quran 3:47). [38]
Childhood
Main article: Finding in the Temple
See also: Flight into Egypt and Infancy Gospel of Thomas
The Quran does not include the tradition of the
Flight into Egypt, though sūra XXIII, 50 could conceivably allude to it: "And we made the son of Maryam and his mother a sign; and we made them abide in an elevated place, full of quiet and watered with springs." [39] However, narratives similar to the narrative found in the Gospels and non-canonical sources circulated in later Islamic tradition, with some details and elaborations being added over the centuries by Islamic writers and historians. Some narratives have Jesus and family staying in Egypt up to 12 years. [40] Many moral stories and miraculous events of Jesus' youth are mentioned in Qisas al-anbiya (Stories of the Prophets), books composed over the centuries about pre-Islamic prophets and heroes. [41]
Al-Masudi wrote that Jesus as a boy studied the Jewish religion reading from the Psalms and found "traced in characters of light":
"You are my son and my beloved; I have chosen you for myself"
with Jesus then claiming:
"Today the word of God is fulfilled in the son of man." [42]

Adulthood

Mission
See also: Ministry of Jesus and Apostle (Islam)
It is generally agreed that Jesus spoke
Aramaic , the common language of Judea in the first century A.D. and the region at-large. [46]
The first and earliest view of Jesus formulated in Islamic thought is that of a prophet – a human being chosen by God to present both a judgment upon humanity for worshipping idols and a challenge to turn to the one true God. From this basis, reflected upon all previous prophets through the lens of Muslim identity, Jesus is considered no more than a messenger repeating a repetitive message of the ages. The miracles of Jesus and the Quranic titles attributed to Jesus demonstrate the power of God rather than the divinity of Jesus – the same power behind the message of all prophets. Some Islamic traditions believe Jesus' mission was only to the people of Israel and his status as a prophet being confirmed by numerous miracles. [47][48]
A second early high image of Jesus is an end-time figure. This concept arises mostly from the Hadith. Muslim tradition constructs a narrative similarly found in Christian theology, seeing Jesus arriving at the end of time and descending upon earth to fight the Antichrist. This narrative is understood to champion the cause of Islam, with some traditions narrating Jesus pointing to the primacy of Muhammad. Most traditions state Jesus will then die a natural death. [49]
A third and distinctive image is of Jesus representing an ascetic figure – a prophet of the heart. Although the Quran refers to the 'gospel' of Jesus, those specific teachings of his are not mentioned in the Quran or later religious texts. They are largely absent.
...

Preaching
The Islamic concepts of Jesus' preaching is believed to have originated in Kufa, Iraq, under the Rashidun Caliphate where the earliest writers of Muslim tradition and scholarship was formulated. The concepts of Jesus and his preaching ministry developed in Kufa was adopted from the early ascetic Christians of Egypt who opposed official church bishopric appointments from Rome. [51]
The earliest stories, numbering about 85, are found in two major collections of ascetic literature entitled Kitab al-Zuhd wa'l Raqa'iq (The Book of the Asceticism and Tender Mercies) by Ibn al-Mubarak (d. 797), and Kitab al-Zuhd (The Book of Asceticism) by Ibn Hanbal (d. 855). These sayings fall into four basic groups: a) eschatological sayings; b) quasi-Gospel sayings; c) ascetic sayings and stories; d) sayings echoing intra-Muslim polemics. [52]
The first group of sayings expands Jesus'
archetype as portrayed in the Quran. The second group of stories, although containing a Gospel core, are expanded with a "distinctly Islamic stamp". The third group, being the largest of the four, portrays Jesus as a patron saint of Muslim asceticism. The last group builds upon the Islamic archetype and Muslim-centric definition of Jesus and his attributes, furthering esoteric ideas regarding terms such as "Spirit of God" and "Word of God". [53]
Miracles
Main article: Miracles of Jesus
See also: Infancy Gospel of Thomas
The Quran attributes at least six miracles to Jesus, with many more being added over the centuries by writers and historians. Miracles were attributed to Jesus as signs of his
prophethood and his authority, according to educator and professor Ishaq Musa Al-Husayni (d. 1990), an author most known for
Mudhakkirat Dajaja (Memoirs of a Hen) (Cairo: Dar al-Maarif, 1943; 2nd ed. 1967). In Christ in the Quran and Modern Arabic Literature (1960), Al-Husayni said it is noteworthy Muhammad attributes no miracles to himself. [54]
These six miracles in the Quran are without detail unlike the Gospel and their non-canonical Gnostic sources, which include details and mention other attributed miracles. [54] Over the centuries, these six miracle narratives have been elaborated through Hadith and poetry, with religious writings including some of the other miracles mentioned in the Gospel, non-canonical sources, and from lore. [15][44]
Speaking from the cradle
Speaking from the cradle is mentioned in three places in the Quran: al-Imran (3) 41, 46, al-Maida (5) 109–110 and Maryam (19) 29–30. Part of the narrative has the infant Jesus defending his mother Mary from the accusation of having given birth without a known husband. [55] Early Islam was unclear about Joseph and his role.Thus these Gnostic gospel influence is claimed as to say Quran may not be divine by opponents. Jesus speaks as the angel Gabriel had mentioned at the annunciation: Jesus proclaims he is a servant of God, has been given a book, is a prophet, is blessed wherever he will go, blesses the day he was born, the day he will die, and the day he is raised alive. [56]
Although this particular narrative is not found in the Bible , the theme of speaking from the cradle is found in the non-canonical pre-Islamic Syriac Infancy Gospel. That source has Jesus declaring himself the Son of God, the
Word , and affirming what the angel Gabriel had previously announced to Mary as detailed in the Gospel. [55]
Creating birds from clay
The miracle story of creating birds from clay and breathing life into them when a child is mentioned in al-Imran (3) 43, 49 and al-Maida (5) 109–110. Although this miracle is also not mentioned the canonical Gospel, the same narrative is found in at least two pre-Islamic sources: the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Jewish Toledot Yeshu, with few variant details between the Quran and these two sources. [57]
[58]
Healing the blind and the lepers
See also: Healing the two blind men in Galilee and Cleansing ten lepers
Similar to the New Testament , the Quran mentions Jesus healing the blind and the
lepers in al-Imran (3) 49. Muslim scholar and judge al-Baydawi (d. 1286) wrote how it was recorded that many thousands of people came to Jesus to be healed and that Jesus healed these diseases through prayer only. [59] Medieval scholar al-Tha'labi wrote about how these two particular diseases were beyond medical help, and Jesus' miracles were meant to be witnessed by others as clear signs of his message. [57]
Raising the dead
Jesus is believed to have raised people from the dead, as mentioned in al-Imran (3) 49. Although no detail is given as to who was raised or the circumstance, at least three people are mentioned in detail in the Gospel (a
daughter of Jairus, a widow's son at Nain, and
Lazarus). [60]
Prescience
Jesus was able to predict, or had
foreknowledge, [61] of what was hidden or unknown to others. One example is Jesus would answer correctly any and every question anyone asked him. Another example is Jesus knew what people had just eaten, as well as what they had stored in their homes. [15]
