waoo!! So ,this hatred is about leadership,I thought it was about doctrine .

What you read is a mix of truth and falsehood, and truth is mixed with falsehood so that the falsehood can be more deceiving
You were closer to the truth when you said it's about doctrine, the shia have beliefs that take them out of Islam, and no one
who truly believes in Allah and His Messengerﷺ will want to have anything to do with them.

So be careful where you get your info from, if it is truth you seek.

As salaamu alaykum
Many people claim they love God, but yet they act contrary to it. We seem to understand the importance of love, as all can agree that those who love Him and are loved by Him, such people will not enter the fire. So I made a video (two of them) talking about love and how it works, it’s connection with purpose, the reality of those who truly posses it, and more.

Part 2 -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZWdPMjQlTs

I was talking with a brother who was trying to organize a class for sisters, and he was telling me how he was informed about sisters complaining about their husbands who are supposed to be learned men of islam(that's the circle I'm in), but yet they find weaknesses in their character. They also complained of how they tell them that this and that is haraam, and they only listen out of obedience and they don't know why they are haraam, they feel like all they hear is haraam.

So it's like there's the general places of learning like the islamiyyah and known 'malams', who are not really teaching the people, they don't warned the people about pitfalls and water down the deen. The result is ignorance and people getting into all kinds of evil & wicked actions. Then there are the supposed one who learn and practice the religion, but all people hear from them is essentially everything is haraam, and they don't understand how they can live life staying away from the prohibitions.

I was pondering over some knowledge, and I realized from it so many gems. How the reality of iman is love of Allah, and the real love is recognizing that the good things we seek, like honor, protection, all kinds of benefit, they all come from Allah. And when one realizes this, it's easy for him to obey Allah, do the commands and leave the prohibitions. But more than that, is that someone can find pleasure in worshipping Allah, or at least in the thing He has made permissible.

This is the kind of knowledge so beneficial yet many Muslims will never hear about, because ignorance has spread. People don't know the very basics; Who Allah is, why we should worship Him, what is worship, what is islam, etc.

Here's a quick example: Have you heard the those people that say they are not a slave, but they worship God? Well, slave and worship stem from the same word a-b-d. The action is usually translated as worship and the doer of the action as slave/worshipper, but people see it as different, out of ignorance.

I actually differed with the brother on how to go about starting the class, so I thought, if it's the spread the knowledge, why don't I just find people interested in learning. So I want to create an outlet for people to learn the deen, or as I'll say, to learn the why. If you have comments or are interested, I'll like to hear them.

What effect will this new CBN policy have on grey and other virtual banks?

What new cbn policy?

omojeesu:
Good idea!

1. What we had & still have is SCHOOLING rather than EDUCATION.

2. There's too much emphasis on head & theoretical knowledge & less on technical & professional training.

3. Entrepreneurship training is almost non-existent.

Exactly, except for number 3, you just have to find the right source

Hoily:

The major factor in entrepreneurship is startup CAPITAL

You can start small, with what you have, without even capital. Everyone already has something they can offer, if they think about it.

AntiChristian:
Wait, how do you even think of what to start?

If you understand entrepreneurship/business, it not something hard
The root of business is just solving a problem for people.

I discussed more about both on this thread, check it out if interested:
https://www.nairaland.com/7724143/how-make-money-doing-what

Some people say their problem is they are trying to raise capital to start a business, looking for 100k, 500k, and no one to give them. Again, start from the very beginning, people give money to have their problem solved, if you can’t go big, start small, as small as solving a problem for one person.

Let's say you want to buy and sell clothes, meet one person and be honest with him, tell him your situation and if he'll be willing to buy clothes from you even if it is just for you to go to the market/store and buy it for him, you save him the time and energy him to go and buy it by himself then you can get a small commission from that even if it's 1,000, 2,000. People want to help, and they are willing to if it won’t cost them too much. Don’t go and be begging and saying my child, no food, no amount is too small, people are tired of that, when they give, such people usually come back and ask for more, that’s creating a problem, not solving one. If you can afford to beg for 100 naira, you can afford to look for a small value you can offer to somebody for 1,000 naira, make sure it solves the person's problem.
More examples:
Instead of opening a restaurant, cook for just one person, some people buy from street vendors because there’s no choice, but if someone can make food that’s home cooked, cleaner, healthier and more delicious, and for the right price, they won’t mind patronizing.
Many rich parents have children that are not doing well in school, if you can really help their child to excel in school, they can even pay you more than what many schools pays teachers.
The university example I gave above, don’t go big, start with 1-3 people, even 1 is enough.
Don’t know who to meet, go to rich homes and offer to clean or wash, don’t beg, if people find you solving their problems, they’ll be more open, that’s how you open your opportunities.
If you’ve noticed me mentioning rich people, then you’re right, you want to tap into where the money is flowing, no point charging what people can’t afford. It’s not only them, it just increases your chances of getting paid good money, you can still do with average. The goal is to solve problems, be creative, look around you and observe, what problems people are having that you can solve, even in your immediate contact list are people you can help, and they’ll be willing to pay you. Provide QUALITY product/service.

People say there is no money in the country, please don’t take it the wrong way, that’s how poor people think. It’s not an insult, it’s just a way of thinking that doesn’t serve you, just like thinking you’ll one day elect a politician that’ll save the country, rich people think differently. Jumia has laptops and ipads selling at over 1 million and people are buying, if people perceive value, they’ll pay, period.

When you can solve a problem for 1 person, then you can solve the same problem for two people, three people, keep on adding, if one person will pay you 1,000 then 10 people will total 10,000, Do the maths, and before you know it, you can earn more the salary of the average civil servant, with less work and more value, do it well, and with time you can blow. Solving problem for people, that’s all business, yet someone will go to school for 20 years and will never hear something like this, who will tell him, if his teachers knew they won’t be teaching.
I find it surprising people are still looking for certificates these day, believing it’s a sign of education, and if you don't have one, you are not a smart person or you can't find a job. I saw a research that professors(US,UK) with all their degrees and ‘titles’, are not anywhere near the richest people, like the gap was too much. I was once speaking to a girl who studied medicine and she told me that once she starts housemanship, she’ll be earning 140k per month. I chatted with a lady on nairaland, after learning kdp for like 6 months, she started earning N200k per month, 6 months vs 7 years. Over a year later, I don’t know what the doctor is learning, but the kdp girl’s income has almost quadripled.
I don't know anybody that is going to pick up he's mathematics or chemistry notes from 5 years ago and solve a problem that he is currently facing but someone can learn programming, psychology, cooking, etc., and solve people's problem over and over again for a lifetime. Things are easy, it’s people that make it hard. Shikenan, I can’t shout louder than that.

Two things to note:
1. Notice what’s common between them is that they all solve problems.
2. These are ideas i’ve seen come up with based on me and my journey, don’t see them as the only way, if you’re creative, you’ll find many opportunities.
3. They are things with little to no competition, that’s the advantage of being creative.

Go to a school private universities, focus on a specific course or program e.g. medicine and then offer a program that simplifies their educational journey, you make graduating with good grades easier. I saw someone doing this, no competition I think, making 6 figures, in pounds (Cambridge).

Teach a particular group of doctors maybe surgeons or dentists how to acquire more customers, all businesses need more customers.

A rich man with big houses and space in it, offer to cultivate the land with crops or animals. In fact, agriculture is so lucrative you can just meet someone with money and sell him to invest in agriculture where you run the business for him, it can be as simple as raising layers.

There are influences online people with a lot of audience but they don't sell anything to them, teach them or create a product for them that they can sell to their customers and then you'll be willing to pay you or get a commission for that which is what many influencers do.
People have money and don’t know what to do with it, offer to start something small where they put you in charge; provision store, restaurant, etc.

And so on, what is important is that you are creative and it is based on something that you are good at doing or is most suited to you and you enjoy doing it. Now you see some people saying their problem is capital, i'll like to say something about that.

Please guys I need more ideas.

How you taught of making money doing what you love? check put this page for more info
https://www.nairaland.com/7724143/how-make-money-doing-what

It's not news the need for money, we see people begging, some people asking for help, others presenting their certificates looking for work. There is a lot of opportunity to make money if people are willing to be creative, sadly, that is something that’s hardly taught anywhere, and what i’ll like to discuss about.
The problem is there is a big misunderstanding between the goal and the means by which we fulfill the goal. By creativity, I mean that if you dial in on the goal, then you can be flexible with the means to reach it, and can do so in a way that is more suitable for your situation and what you are able to do at your current moment. So what am I talking about?
The goal is to make money, that’s the final objective, the means is going to school, learning a skill, asking people, etc. Now boil it down to it’s first principles, what’s common between all these? It’s getting people to give you money. Now ask why do people give money? What do they hope for? Here’s the thing, PEOPLE GIVE MONEY TO HAVE THEIR PROBLEM SOLVED.

Think about all the things that made you to give somebody money; to travel, eat, snack, a laptop, clothe, house, and so on. All these things are common in the sense that they solve problems, big or small, in other words, you gave money in exchange for what will solve problem, which is known as value. In summary, the way to get money is for people to give you, and people usually give money in exchange for a value that solves their problem.
If people see something as valuable, they’ll be willing to pay money because people want their problem solved. When you perceive something as valuable and at the right price, you don't really care about the money what you care about is the value you are receiving in return that is the case with everybody.

If you can understand this then you can see why the current education system and people looking for certificates and going for a job applications is not as valuable as it once was, and it’s not the only way, rather you can be creative, because all you need to do is to create value. Imagine if someone could cure cancer, create a better alternative to fuel, fix broken marriages, you think people won’t buy because he doesn’t have a certificate?
Here’s the interesting part, if you’ve understood what i’ve said so far, then understand that you can create a value that solves people's problem, based on something that you are passionate about, so you’re making money whilst doing what you love and enjoy. Next in sha Allah, i’ll be giving some examples.

Girlee:

I'm a little girl with the brains of a wise old man.
I'm a counselor, motivational speaker, inspirational writer and an upcoming writer.
....................
I've counselled the married, singles and those in courtship. I've motivated so many and inspired a whole lot on the planet and things turned out great for them. But the thing is: who will and can counsel the counselor?
.............................

Go and google 'Acres of diamonds', it's one of the best speeches ever given
It applies not just to you, but to everybody, let me explain

You said you're a counselor, motivational speaker, inspirational writer and an upcoming writer, yet you're looking for money
and the way you do that is to go to school so you get a certificate, i assume you'll use to find a job and get paid

2 questions to ask yourself:
What's the use of your certificate?
Why do people give money?

Money is a medium by which people exchange value
Value is something that solves a problem.
The people who make the most money, solve the biggest problems; think apple, dangote, oil companies.

You want to get a certificate so someone sees it as credibility, so he can employ you to help him solve his problem, which he'll pay you for
Meanwhile, you were solving problems for many people and doing it for free.

In case you can't see, you already have what it takes to generate income, i assume you just don't know how to sell
By sell, i mean get people to pay you for a problem you can already solve.

In other words, use your skills of counseling, speaking and writing to solve problems for people and get paid.
I wrote about this somewhere if you're interested, msg me, if not, look out in case i decide to make a post on it.

You desire to remain chaste until marriage is admirable
If people give negative remarks, just ignore them.

They have a contact us link

SuperOnyi:





I mean... what if someone wrote something similar to mine, way before I published my book — would I be in trouble even if I know I didn't plagiarize nobody's article?

What if I quote a source... Something like "according to investopedia, money...." Would I be in trouble or am I overthinking?

Thank you

Yes you are, plagiarism is copying something word for word and calling it your own,
many publishers do that and still get away with it by rephrasing the word.
there's no way someone will right something similar to you word for word

SuperOnyi:

Please, how exactly does Amazon checkmate plagiarism?

They check it when you submit it, they probably have their own plagiarism checker.

If checkmate meant something else, then I don't know what you mean

Professorcplus:


I have given you 100k worth of info... If I give you 50% info, it is your responsibility to make it 100% by researching. Thanks

Wow, thanks

Professorcplus:


In my experience, Sales of books has little to do with backend keyword... Another hack is look for similar books Asin doin well, and check their keywords with website www. Amazon - ASIN . Com (no spacing)... What matters is choosing that right categories, and give your book free 5 days promotion immediately after publishing, if you are lucky someone drop a 5 ⭐ good reviews, you secure a good position rankings as long as the sales momentum keep increasing which is giving your reader value by writing a good book. Not pamphlet as many does. You can run ads too. Thanks

How do you do about grammar and proofreading? Customers usually company about that, but as I'm thinking about it, I think it was when I use that Kindle create software to make a book that they complained about errors.

SuperOnyi:







Thank you sir.


I will never give up.

That's the spirit

So, I'd need a mentor for an easy ride? I can't afford most of them, I'm still saving up money — that would mean using every cash on me to get a mentor. God...

Last question sir (I'm sorry for disturbing), I'm currently using Microsoft word 2007 and I'd need to fix some pictures there — any well detailed YouTube video you can recommend? Thank you

If you can't afford a mentor, you can always go the free route. Think of mentor as paying with money and free as paying with time

why don't you search on YT, try 'how to add pictures to microsoft word(2007 if need)'
if you know how to use it, canva will be more better with embedding pictures
if you need something offline, then i'll say scribus.
They shouldn't be too hard if you know your way around computer

kingofcasting:
Hello, can one write and format for kdp using android phone? If so, what are the apps one can use?

Big NO, tip from ilegend
if you don't have a pc
type with phone and format in a cybercafe

SuperOnyi:





Sir, do I really need publisher rocket? It's almost 50k and currently unable to afford it, the free keywords sites seems not to be accurate.

No, especially for a beginner, you'll have better luck buying hot keywords from people who will sell it to you.
That being said, you want to focus on being good at what you do, which will take time, we're talking 6 months to a year without coaching, like i used to think you can't shortcut this, but i really don't know anyone that has.

Me, my first 4 books we're complete failure, they were still others, but anyways
now's not the time to be trying to use tools, start with the manual, if they aren't working, you're doing something wrong.

SuperOnyi:

How do I ask them? ..............
.....................
Can I insert pictures in this kind of book?

Go to an interesting part of the book and add something like:
by the way, if you're enjoying this book, do me a favor and give me a good rating and leave a review
on Amazon so that others can find it, it'll really help me out thanks. Click the link below to take you directly to......
(then insert a link taking them to amazon review page of your book, i don't know how to do that, but it makes it easier)

You can insert pictures in any book if you know how

At the end, it all comes down to whether your readers enjoyed your book or not

Makavelli001:
How can I get reviews for my books on kdp amazon

Pls some one should help.

Surest way, if people like your book, they'll leave a review

Others:
- Ask them in your book to leave a review, just like people as to 'like' their YT videos
- Look for your audience/readers, fb groups, forums, bond with them and direct them to your book, asking to leave a review
- There are sites dedicated to leaving reviews and rating, but i think you have to pay
- Search youtube.

SuperOnyi:





Yessir, I'm a beginner. It's normally 8—20 hours. The lack of power supply isn't making it easy for me too.

Everyone starts from somewhere.
For your writing, don't make it hard for yourself, use chatGPT
don't tell me you don't know what chatgpt is, google

SuperOnyi:






Hello sir.


I'm currently writing a book on money, it's taking so long because I'm also researching and I work overnight while doing this.

I've searched for keywords but I haven't seen any or maybe, I don't just understand how it works. I'm using Microsoft word 2007 to write. Can you put me through?

when you say overnight, how long are you talking?


Also, you sound like a beginner, so use canva for cover design

blingxx:



Pls can you recommend me any virtual acct to recieve payment on Amazon kdp , I heard grey and payday doesn't work ... and payoneer you will have to deposit $50 to activate u.s account now

Grey is still working bro, it give you EUR $ and GBP accounts, and you can choose anyone to submit to amazon. Careful where you get your info from.

Kalatium:

After I was done opening a payooner account I was not able to have access to a foreign account.

Open an account with grey and they'll give you details that Amazon accepts
