SHINA PETERS VS JIM OVIA

In 1990, Shina Peters built a house with N20 million naira; the same year Jim Ovia started Zenith Bank with the same amount.

Today, you and I don't have a room in Shina's house but I have an account in Jim's bank and probably you do too.

Shina's house was built in Iju Lagos and remains there till date.
Jim's bank started in a corner and now has over 500 branches in Nigeria, and many international branches.

Millions upon millions transact business in Jim's bank daily.
Shina's house is becoming dilapidated...in 2015, he SPENT more money to renovate the house and bought a Nissan Pathfinder with N10 million...additional liability, while in the same 2015, Jim's bank MADE a profit of N105.7 billion.

Today, Zenith Bank is the largest bank in Nigeria, while Shina Peter might be ashamed to live in his house now.

This is the difference between Assets and Liability. If you buy a car for N20 million today, in 20 years time, you will be ashamed to drive it. On the other hand, if you invest that same amount in a lucrative business or in an asset, It may be worth billions in 20 years. ( Jim Ovia is now worth $980 million dollars, with the official dollar rate of N320, that means he is worth N313 BILLION NAIRA because of an investment of N20 million).

Spend the little money you have today wisely. Some people driving expensive cars today, are not aware that they are driving their future and the future of their children. Some people carrying iphone7 today, may not be aware that they are carrying their future.

When you are young, don't spend money. Invest it.
Every penny in your hand is like a seed, you can decide to eat it, or sow it. When you sow it, it will bear much more seeds later in future.

Let's be wise.

Ecobank can never improve


useless bank

Igbos are just too sentimental. The issue of Kanu and arewa youths are seperate. While those arewa youth should have been arrested long ago, it does not detract from the fact that Kanu violated his bail conditions and the FG is right in demanding his rearrest.

sukkot:
thats called wisdom. we dont have terrorist mindset like the east and north. there is a reason why the world equates the west with wisdom and sophistication. it is because of that wisdom and sophistication that lagos is the most thriving city in africa

ItachiUchiha:
I've noticed that generally the guys who attack goodluck are either Muslims or Northerners and few guys from the west, the guys who attack buhari are all Easterners and few from the west. The Hausa support their own, the East supports 'their' own. The west have always being neither here nor there.. First obj tenor they didn't support him (their own).. No superior knowledge for if they had, they'll question Buhari entrance into politics without requisite certificate presentation. So its not abt education, probably our politics has been 'ethniticize abs religionalize'

NBC doing a good job. Please keep banning but I am worried at the fact that DJs will still play those music at parties,clubs,events and shows and yet those musicians will be invited by Nigeria to perform those songs at shows and events. Why banning those songs now that they have made money from it and it's public. Keep censoring

is d president going to sell his well being to Nigerian or the artists been stop to not spent his money how he likes.

But selling a products to Nigerian means the FG has an obligation under the constitution to regulate and formulate policy to guide such processes.
