Sports / Re: Lionel Messi Injured Again On First Match After Returning From Injury by ElRapido: 7:24am On Sep 25, 2019
What do we call this now? It seems to me that Messi was rushed back from his previous injury because of Barca miserable start to the season.

Now that injury is back and let's hope it is worst than the last one. Messi will surely return to claim his throne in La Liga, no doubt except "village people are involved.

But the question now is, how will Barca survive with the absence of their Alpha? The board of the club needs to sit down and figure out a way to win games convincly and that the dependence on Messi is for success will not last forever.

Education / Re: OAU To Build Own Airport Soon - VC Prof Eyitope by ElRapido: 10:55am On Sep 24, 2019
Very unnecessary, I must say unless it's a FG project. What the school needs at the moment isn't a airport as I don't see it facilitating the development of OAU.

The money is better spent on existing projects like the OAU electricity project. Also, money is needed in the infrastructure and most importantly, the research sector of the university.

But the government that failed to provide the "welfare" to the students despite receiving exorbitant fees isn't crazy, right?

What kind of a country is this? Where asking for your right is termed crazy.

EKSU for example hasn't had power on campus/off campus hostels since 2015. Yes, you read that right. No spark of PHCN light in an area of some 10,000 nigerian students since at least 4 years ago.

Sick of living a country where this is termed normal.

Tell me you are exaggerating. How do they survive there?

Phones / Infinix Hot 8 Retail Box Images Leaked, Launch Later This Month by ElRapido: 1:38am On Aug 17, 2019
Infinix Hot 8 could be the upcoming smartphone from the sub-brand of Hong Kong-based Transsion Holdings in India. Ahead of its release, a couple of retail box images of the Infinix Hot 8 have surfaced online.

The images reveal the front profile of the handset, which seems to have a waterdrop-notch display — just like its predecessor – Infinix Hot 7. The phone will also offer 4G LTE connectivity and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage configuration. Furthermore, 91mobiles has learned from industry sources that Infinix Hot 8 launch in India will happen later this month, and its price could be under 50,000 NGN.



The rest of the details of the phone are not known at the moment, but we expect the specifications to be better than the ones offered by Infinix Hot 7.

The latter was launched last month in the country at 40,000 NGN for 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable native storage. The phone comes in Midnight Black, Aqua Blue, and Mocha Brown shades and is available for sale in the country.

Business / Harsh Truth About Young Entrepreneurship by ElRapido: 10:25am On May 05, 2019
Something you'll notice is that the vast majority of self made young entrepreneurs who struck it big before 30 were doing some sort of online/low barrier of entry business. This is why everyone talks about eccommerce, copywriting, digital marketing, dropshipping..... And then bragging about $40k monthly revenue selling colorful socks online. It's much easier to scale.

Most real life businesses require significant financial capital plus industry knowledge and experience that a young man could not easily obtain unless he were born into it. Take manufacturing for example. A 21 year old out of college does not stand a chance compared to a 40 year old with years of experience/credibility and an established network. Ask yourself which one you trust more? Which of these two would you invest in?

It's a catch 22. We aspire to get rich as young as possible so that we can enjoy that wealth for the rest of our lives. But without industry expertise and significant startup capital, we're stuck with dropshipping or selling t-shirts. Yet if you spend a decade working in an industry, you will see massive loopholes that the average 20 year old guy cannot.

It's a complete myth that the average startup owner is a 20 year old dude. That is a tech stereotype. You only hear about these 20 year old's because of how rare they are. Which is why they get so much publicity. The average 30/40 something year old is much more confident, mature, experienced and financially grounded than the average 20 year old.

Your social background is also important. Your average Joe from Akron, Ohio has access to significantly less opportunity than Tony from Long Island who attends a top school and his parents are wealthy and have a strong network. Therefore he is going to have to pull himself entirely from his bootstraps. Whereas Tony is given the option between working at the investment bank that his uncle manages or being 100% financially supported by his family while he builds his startup.

Everyone sees the Kardashians and Dan Bilzerian living these crazy lives. Nobody bothers to mention that their fathers worked themselves into death and prison so that their children could have amazing lives that seem impossible for the average man to even fathom. Gurus like Grant Cardone won't tell the young men that watch his content every detail. He didn't start seeing the fruits of his labor until his 30's. And it took him a lot longer than 30 to become a private jet rich.

I'm not saying any of this to persuade you into quitting. I myself am a struggling entrepreneur who has been knocked in the head a couple of times so take my words for what they are. Back when I was 18 I was always so hyped about getting rich and dating models and having a fancy car. Then when I started to get more life experience I realized that if I was going to make it I was going to have to be a lot more humble. It could take a lot longer than I anticipated.

If you're struggling, don't focus too much on the 0.0000001% of 23 year olds with 8 figure eCommerce stores. Not only is it bad for your self esteem. But those guys are also exceptionally rare, and either very talented or very well connected. You will probably never even meet those guys outside of the internet.

For guys out there like me, we just got to do the best with what we have. Maybe you didn't hit one million dollars by 30. SO WHAT. You could still have 50+ years of life left. Most male hollywood actors' careers don't take off until 30's. If it takes me until my 40's, 50's, or EVEN 60's to make it, that doesn't mean I can't have an amazing life with what time I have left. And if I never make it big at least I can die knowing I gave it a shot.

This is the end of my rant about entrepreneurship. I feel like aspiring entrepreneurs do a good job of talking about the positive sides of entrepreneurship. But there needs to be more discussion about the sacrifices and harsh truths that come along with entrepreneurship. It's a lonely road out there. I remember all those times my friends were out partying and I blew them off to work. They thought I was crazy and they were probably right.

If you guys have anything else you would like to add please do.
