Celebrities / "Marriage Is Strictly A Private Matter"- Ooni Of Ife Speaks About Marriage Crash by IAmBhijay(m): 12:25pm On Aug 31, 2017 |
Social media went up in a frenzy when the former Queen of Ile-Ife, Olori Wuraola, finally confirmed that her marriage to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi had ended. The Ooni got married to Ms. Olori at an elaborate society traditional marriage held in Benin, the Edo State capital, on March 16, 2016. Over some time, there had been previous reports that the marriage to the Ooni was in crisis, and her revelation finally confirmed those reports. Ms. Olori disclosed an official statement on her marital status via Instagram on her official page @hhzynab on Wednesday. Following the declaration by Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi that her marriage has ended, the Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi has expressed that he would address the public when he is ready. Media Directorate in Ooni's palace, Moses Olafare, told NAIJ that the Ooni would address the matter at the appropriate time. He said: "In this era of social media, where people have free access to the internet and rely on that to pass across information as constitutionally permitted by laws of the land, people can say anything.” “Inspite of all being said left right and center on the issue, decorum still requires that we in the House of Oduduwa continue to maintain silence, at least for now. This is because marriage is strictly a private matter that should not be subjected to undue public uproar." Olafare further said that the Ooni’s marriage crash would be addressed when it is necessary. "Whenever it is necessary for us to talk, we will surely talk on the issue.” https://newscantell..com/2017/08/marriage-is-strictly-private-matter.html

Politics / Ambode Gives 72 Hour Quit Notice To Traders And Roadside Mechanics In Marina by IAmBhijay(m): 8:18pm On Aug 08, 2017 |
Lagos State Government has given street traders and roadside mechanics in the Marina axis of Lagos Island 72 hours to vacate or risk arrest and prosecution. In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on the Central Business District Agboola Dabiri, he said the directive came from Governor Akinwunmi Ambode saying that the masterplan for the state has no place for roadside mechanics, and that the government has vowed to bring environmental sanity to every nook and cranny of the state. According to him, 'we seek total compliance with this directive given to mechanics to vacate within 72 hours. There is no place for roadside mechanics, street trading and illegal shanties on Marina. The Lagos State Government has observed with dismay the gross abuse of environmental laws and urban planning by the roadside automobile engineers, mechanics and street traders on the Island. The environmental abuse can no longer be tolerated which necessitated the decision to check the illegalities'. https://newscantell..com/2017/08/ambode-gives-72-hour-quit-notice-to.html 1 Share

Science/Technology / Google Changes Play Store To Concentrate On Apps That Don’t Crash by IAmBhijay(m): 11:58am On Aug 04, 2017 |
Google announced it was rolling out changes to the Play Store to increase the likelihood you’ll find apps which actually, you know, function properly. According to the Google Android developer’s blog, half of one-star reviews of Play Store apps concern app stability (I want to see what the other half look like, personally). With that in mind, Google switched up its search to favor apps and games of provably higher quality: As part of our continued effort to deliver the best possible Google Play experience, we recently enhanced our search and discovery algorithms to reflect app quality. This results in higher quality apps being surfaced in the Play Store more than similar apps of lower quality (eg: apps that exhibit more frequent crashes). This is one of those changes I didn’t realize wasn’t already part of Play Store protocol — why wouldn’t you prioritize the apps which don’t have a history of crashing? Better now than not at all, I suppose. Google also advises app developers, who might find themselves suddenly shuffled to the bottom of a search list, to use feedback to improve their apps and bump up their ratings. How we’re helping people find quality apps and games on Google Play on Google Android Developers. http://gibzle..com.ng/2017/08/google-changes-play-store-to.html http://gibzle..com.ng/2017/08/google-changes-play-store-to.html |

Business / Re: Top 10 Ways How Billionaires Actually Make Their Money by IAmBhijay(m): 12:26am On Mar 21, 2017 |
#3 Real estate It’s no surprise that real estate is number three on the list and the third most common way for billionaires to make their billions . As Mark Twain famously quoted: “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” We all intrinsically know that real estate is one of the most valuable assets we can own simply because we all need land to live on! #2 Technology It’s no surprise that technology is the second most common way for billionaires to make their money; the sheer scale and speed at which technology can reach and affect people globally allows someone to generate wealth in ways not possible a hundred years ago. Microsoft might seem really old school now but back in the 90s Windows was the hottest thing around since sliced bread and has made Bill Gates the de facto richest person in the world for the last two decades. (He still is by the way.) Today, it’s tech companies like Google and Facebook which are changing the way we practically live our everyday lives. Google kicked off as a research project in Stanford in 1996 and Facebook started life in 2004 as a closed network for Harvard students before morphing into the multi-billion dollar behemoths they both are today and in the process making their founders exceedingly rich. Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has a net worth of $33.3 billion and was for the longest time the richest person under 30. He’s a little too old for that now. Snigger. But if ruling the tech world is not something you envision, you can still strike gold as a “regular guy” in other ways. In Singapore, two brothers started an online coupon deal site, Beeconomic, in 2010 with life savings of $50,000. Six months later, their business was bought over by the largest coupon deal site in the world for a reported $24 million and is now Groupon (Singapore). #1 Investments And finally… the #1 way of getting rich for both self-made and inherited billionaires is investing. And it shouldn’t be a complete surprise that investments are the most common way for billionaires to make their money. As an investor, you can invest and make money across the board — manufacturing, healthcare, food, tech, etc. — you’re not limited to any one industry. As long as you know how to pick the right companies to invest in, you can make a fortune through your investments. Instead of running a business the likes of Microsoft or McDonald’s, Warren Buffett has simply devoted nearly his entire life to picking the best stock investments and he does it so well that he’s the third richest person in the world with a net worth of $67.6 billion. His holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns significant stakes in companies across different industries including IBM, Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, GEICO, Proctor & Gamble, American Express, Heinz, and Business Wire. |

#7 Energy But if your goal is to live it up like the oil sheikhs in the Middle East and parade around in your gold- plated Lamborghini, preferably with a wild cheetah as your passenger, then energy might just be the thing for you. The world needs energy. We have an insatiable need for it. We are addicted to it. It’s no surprise that some of the biggest companies in the world by market cap are energy giants like Exxon Mobil, PetroChina and Royal Dutch Shell. Not to mention the largest company that probably exists on the planet: Saudi Arabia’s state- owned petroleum and natural gas company, Saudi Aramco, which has been estimated to be worth up to US $10 trillion. (In comparison, Apple, the largest public company, is “only” worth around US$600 billion.) Obviously, it’s no easy feat becoming an energy czar but if you somehow managed to come from nowhere and pull it off like how Roman Abramovich did, then stuff that made other people rich (like buying a sports team) becomes small change for you. #6 Food & Beverage Another thing that world needs and literally can’t live without . We all need to eat and drink so desperately that we’ve made McDonald’s one of the biggest companies in the world even though they serve us burgers that never rot. Not only is McDonald’s incredibly profitable, the people who were smart enough to secure a McDonald’s franchise for themselves are fantastically rich as well due to our appetite for food that apparently never goes bad. Not to worry though if you missed out on a golden ticket to making a McFortune, many food entrepreneurs have made it big starting their very own F&B business as well. Not the easiest industry to be in because of all the competition, but hey — we all need to eat sometime. #5 Media If mass control and propaganda is more your thing, then the media industry is perfect for a megalomaniac like you . I mean, what better way to affect the desires and dreams of people everywhere than through the images, stories and information they consume? Just have a look at how an entire generation of teeny boppers practically worship the ground Justin Bieber walks on even though he might be the biggest douche under 5 feet 7 inches that ever lived. If you don’t believe me, this should convince you. I know owning a mega media company like Disney, Fox or CNN might be entirely out of the question for normal folks like you and me. But this is 2014 and the Internet has given us so many ways to create a personal media empire all by ourselves. Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, or better known by his online alias PewDiePie, is a Swedish video game commentator who happens to have the most subscribed YouTube channel in the WORLD (only surpassed by YouTube’s own news, sports, gaming and music channels). With over 30 million subscribers, PewDiePie lets viewers watch how he plays video games — along with all the epic swearing, screeching and gibberish he spews out. Seriously folks, if you haven’t caught PewDiePie in action, you really need to check him out. (If you can’t stand him and his antics, 30 million people around the world think otherwise.) Here’s the kicker — Pewds makes over $4 million a year in ad revenue from his YouTube channel thanks to the millions and millions of views his videos get. That’s $10,989 a DAY — all from playing video games like a zany madcap high on Red Bull. #4 Fashion and retail If beautiful people and beautiful clothes are more your thing, then fashion and retail is definitely right down your runway . The billionaires on the Forbes 400 who made their money in this industry include entrepreneurs like Jin Sook & Do Won Chang, the founders of Forever 21 and Amancio Ortega, the founder of Zara, who also happens to be the fourth richest man in the world currently. On a more local scale but still hugely successful is one of Singapore’s forerunners in online fashion retail — Love, Bonito. What started out as a project to sell pre- owned clothes in 2005 is now a massive seven-figure business that recently won the SME Asia Award 2013/2014 by The Asian Business Journal and The Trade and Industry Association. The brand is so prominent now that they even showcased an exclusive collaboration collection with renowned Parisian Haute Couturier, Julien Fournié. But I don’t need all these instances to tell me that Love, Bonito is doing really well. All I need to do is to watch my girlfriend slavishly hooked to her iPad over the next hour as she continually refreshes her browser hoping to see that sold-out lilac dress she’s been eyeing covetously the last two weeks suddenly in stock again. Whereupon it is, she lets out a massive yelp, whips out her credit card, and proceeds to buy that dress with a look of triumph worthy of any ecstatic, half- crazed marathon finisher.

#10 Manufacturing If you like making money the old-fashioned way like Henry Ford and his Model Ts at the turn of the Industrial Age , then manufacturing might be the thing for you. Obviously, you need huge amounts of capital and scale to be successful in this industry. So unless you have really deep pockets to start off with, this might be out of the question. But then if you do make it here, the sheer scale that manufacturing requires will make sure that you’ll be making millions in no time flat. #9 Sports If you like a little more excitement and drama in the way you make your millions (or billions), then owning a sports team might just be your cup of tea. It’s nice knowing that your entire business model is almost entirely reliant on a bunch of sweaty, grown millionaires being able to win a game of football, baseball, hockey, whatever. Win and watch the fans lap up ticket price hikes, overpriced merchandise, and another new jersey design season after season with fanatical gusto. Lose and watch the faithless mobs literally call for your head and your business profits go down the drain. But hey, what better way to make a billion, right? #8 Healthcare If you like something more intellectual and cerebral, then healthcare might be the thing for you . Do you remember how much money Pfizer made exactly when they released Viagra to starving hordes of 50+ year-old men? I don’t. But it must have been a 5#! +load of money because what else can happen when you finally give old men the chance to think they’re in high school again? If you can create a drug that can cure cancer or HIV, you might just become the richest person that ever lived. But you know, even if you don’t set your sights that far, if you could just create a penis enlargement pill (like we see advertised everywhere on the Internet) that actually works, you might just be the next Bill Gates (or should I say… Pill Gates. Cue laughter. Thanks.) Or you could take the high road and give your medical cure and patent to the world for free. Like Jonas Salk and what he did with his cure for polio, thereby missing out on a chance to be an extraordinarily rich man but in the process virtually single-handedly wiped the world clean of polio. When he was asked who owned the patent to his polio vaccine, he replied: “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” What a man. Salute.

Business / Top 10 Ways How Billionaires Actually Make Their Money by IAmBhijay(m): 11:39pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
Forbes 400 did a quick survey to find out how the
400 billionaires on their list actually made their
money.
Out of these 400, 127 inherited their billions (which is a
total cop out but something that I totally wouldn’t mind)
and one strategy that none of us are lucky enough
to possibly use. But the rest of the Forbes 400
billionaires (273 of them) made their money the old-
fashioned way — by working for it.
Now that’s something we can learn from because if
these guys (and gals) can make a billion dollars starting
from scratch, what’s stopping us from achieving even
just a percentage of what they have? That’s still a
tidy sum of $10 million — which would allow you to
kick back and live like a college bum again. (You know,
like before you made all that money?)
Sure, some of them might have certain advantages —
like being born into a country with opportunity, proper
education, etc. — that others might not have, but the
point is that they made it to the billion-dollar club on
their own efforts.
So why are we interested in how billionaires make
their money?
Simply because the Forbes 400 list contains some of the
brightest and most enterprising individuals on the
planet who seriously know how to rake in the dough. In
other words, they know the best and fastest ways to
make a billion bucks. And if we peasants are
interested in growing our wealth and make a paltry $10
million (sniff), shouldn’t we be looking at how some of
the richest people in the world are making their
money?
Makes sense to me.
So here goes – the top 10 ways how billionaires
actually make their money: Source: fifthperson.com/top-10-ways-how-billionaires-actually-make-their-money/ |
