Business / Hot Selling Items Selling On Ecommerce Websites... Sell And Make Money! by justbeenpaid(m): 10:34am On Oct 27, 2015
Hi guys,

I trust you are doing alright. I don't know if you already know but there are several ways to make money on the internet and one which is trending right now is selling stuffs on eCommerce websites. There are lots of these sites here in Nigeria but the most popular are Jumia, Konga, DeaDey, Kaymu etc but to mention a few.


Lots of smart Entrepreneurs have leveraged on this platform and are making a good chunk of money. While many experience success, others are still struggling and just making a few sales here and there.


In order to make a good amount of money from these eCommerce websites, you need to be able to identify products that sell very well before investing your money into it. Personally, I don't buy products upfront until I am sure they will sell. I wouldn't have my monies tied in products!


So what the smart guys do is to peruse these eCommerce websites to look for products that are hot selling before importing. For example, if I see a product on the internet that sells very well, I list it on all the eCommerce websites and once I start making sales, I can order for it.


There are lots of products out there that you can sell and make money. The funny thing is that some of these products can even be gotten locally, if you do your homework very well, you can find big importers for these products, take the photographs and list them on the eCommerce websites listed.




If you are confused about which products to sell, there are lots of them out there and I will help you by listing these products, below is a list of products that you can start selling and make money.


Also, before I list these products I wanted to tell you something... It's not just enough to list the products, even though these eCommerce websites are getting lots of traffic, you should also endeavour to send traffic through external means like Facebook, Google Adwords etc.


So here goes...

Business To Business / Mini Importation - Mosquito Repeller Still Selling... by justbeenpaid(m): 2:40am On Sep 01, 2015
Malaria is one of the most common illnesses that most Nigerians contract and the major cause of this illness is the presence of the "blood suckers" in the name of mosquitoes. The kind of mosquito and the way they bite these days one begins to wonder what part of hell they emanated. Sometimes even after spraying insecticides and you think your room is free, they still come back to feast on your body after it has died down.


In a bid to curb this palava, I imported a few quantity of a battery operated mosquito repeller. It helps get rids of stinging insects such as mosquitoes, gnats etc. The device is run on a 1pc AAA (1.5V) battery which has a battery life of 800 hours of continuous operation. It has an effective range of 12 square meters which can cover a standard room.


As I write this message, I am currently using this device and to be honest, I have not had any cause to beat any part of my body. This is the second day of using this device and I can attest that it works.

See attached picture for sample.

Health / Stretch Marks? Here's Exactly How To Get Rid Of Those Ugly Marks! by justbeenpaid(m): 5:47pm On Aug 23, 2015
Several studies have shown that stretch marks are among the top five causes for insecurity in women. During pregnancy, women are at an elevated risk for developing stretch marks, also called striae, because of the rapid and sudden growth of their body.

Stretch marks are formed when underlying tissue grows faster than the skin layers covering it, causing small tears in the epidermal surface. Scar tissue then proceeds to grow in these tears, creating stretch marks.

While some women start showing a tendency of developing stretch marks during puberty, others only experience problems for the first time during a pregnancy.



Apart from pregnancy, one can also develop stretch marks after rapid weight loss and during a rapid increase in weight. The presence of stretch marks on one's body could cause a feeling of discomfort or embarrassment. There are times when you would love to put on a sleeveless top and then you realize that those terrible marks would be pronounced. No matter how hard you try to ignore it, you know it doesn't look good when you sound in front of your mirror naked to look at yourself.



There are hundreds of stretch mark products in the market place but not every one of them delivers as promised. Sometimes you even end up spending over N80,000 for a treatment that wouldn't work at the end of the day. There are natural ways to cure stretch and I would be sharing with you right away:


Potato Juice


Potato juice helps us a lot to get rid of stretch marks. Potato contains starch, a product with emollient properties that soothes the skin. The presence of antioxidants in potatoes helps remove stretch marks. Antioxidants are chemicals that transfer electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent and they can prevent or slow cell damage.



After the formation, free reactive radicals start a chain reaction which can cause damage or death to a cell. Antioxidants are molecules that can interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Potato is a great source of Vitamin C, potassium, thiamine, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron and zinc.



Ingredients:

a. Potato – 1 (medium sized)

b. Lukewarm water

c. Knife


At first cut a potato into thick sized slices. Rub the slices gently over the stretch marks. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and thereafter wash off with lukewarm water.



Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is one of the most well known remedies for stretch marks. Aloe Vera leaves secrete a clear gel when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied to heal wounds and it also contains plant collagen which immensely helps repair the skin. Collagen is one of the most important proteins that make our skin elastic, supple and youthful. Collagen is really beneficial to the skin as they help to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, reverse age of skin, tighter skin, plump up skin and also improve the elasticity of skin.


Ingredients:

a. Aloe Vera leaf

b. water

Remove the outer layer of the aloe vera leaf and bring out the sticky gel from the inside of the leaf. Then use the gel on stretch marks and
wash off with water after two or three hours.



Egg White

Egg white is one of the best known home remedies for skin. It is rich in Vitamin A and collagen. Collagen is the main structural and the most abundant protein found in animal connective tissue and contains specific amino acids like glycine, praline, hydroxyproline and arginine. As it gives our skin firmness, suppleness and helps in the constant renewal of skin cells, it is really essential for our skin.

Ingredients:

a. Egg -1

b. Water

Take out the egg white by separating the yolk from the egg. Stir the egg white and apply it on the stretch marks. Leave it for 15 minutes and there after wash off with water.


Daqan Herbal Cream

The Daqan Stretch Mark Cream with snail extract is a natural stretch mark cream base designed to reduce skin scars and marks from weight loss, childbirth and surgery. Now you can get rid of stretch marks and scars quickly and safely leaving a renewed and healthy skin. This wonderful product helps to remove damaged skin cells and produce collagen rich new cells resulting in a much healthier skin where stretch marks once were. With the Daqan Natural Stretch Mark Cream with snail extract, you can start enjoying a smooth, soft and supple skin void of annoying stretch marks.

Business / How to Really Make Money Online! by justbeenpaid(m): 1:26pm On Jul 27, 2015
Good people,

How una dey?

Today I am going to share with you how you can sell effectively sell stuffs on the internet. A lot is happening online and lots of people like you are taking advantage of the opportunity in every way possible. I am sure you already know that you can list a product on Konga as a merchant and people can buy from any part of the world and then you make money.



But when you get to Konga marketplace, you will likely see two same products that are being listed for the same amount but one merchant has over 500 sales and the other 2 or 3 sales, what do you think could be the problem? It's not about listing the products on Konga, you need to learn how to get those products in the eyes of those who need them. Otherwise, you might just get a few sales here and there. This post isn't about selling on Konga but I just wanted to point out something.



Do you know you can create your own one page website and sell anything you want to? Yes, and I mean it! Personally, I like to focus on products that solve specific problems. You know there are problems that get people really emotional and they wouldn't mind paying you any amount of money to get a solution. Something like uhm "all those penis enlargement thingy" or " weight loss product" etc.



After I have identified a genuine product, I then create a page on my domain to list the product. That's like my own "mini konga", once the page is up, the next thing to do is to find a way to get that page to the eyes of those people who really need it. The good thing is that you can do all of this on the internet.



Not like those guys who jump from one bus to another selling stuffs... I once saw a guy in traffic selling "dog chains"... Seriously! How many percent of the motorists own a dog? Even his dog chains, he can sell on the internet but I doubt if he has any idea other than running up and down under the scorching sun, hitting on the glasses of motorists. Those guys could be annoying sha!


Anyway, I hope you learned a thing or two... There's lots of information on the internet on how to go about what I just explained. So you can use Google to learn more.

Cheers
Business / Re: My Humiliation At ECOBANK Badagry. by justbeenpaid(m): 6:20pm On Jun 27, 2015
Eden1747:
I have never been as humiliated as I was today at ECOBANK Badagry. I had applied for a MasterCard two weeks earlier and decided to go for it yesterday, Thursday June 25th. I was given the MasterCard but was unable to get my pin as someone in the CSM's office told me the guy had just gone out for medicals. After waiting for about 45 minutes, I left the bank and went about my business. I returned again at 3pm and the CSM wasn't on seat... The same guy in his office told me apologetically that everyone had been looking for him and I gathered from the tone of his voice that the CSM guy's absence was unofficial.

I however returned today, friday 26th and as I walked down the banking hall towards his cubicle. I greeted "Good afternoon, I came for my pin, here's my card" the guy looked at me and ignored my outstretched hand for about 30 seconds before snapping in a loud voice "did I ask for your card?"

I replied that I was a customer and he had no right to talk to me that way, his reply was to snatch the card from me and tell me "you are a goat". So I told him I wouldn't stand there and let him berate me... His response was to fling the card at me. He flung it with so much force that I had to avert my head as the card almost struck my left eye.

I called the head office and try as they did, the guy refused to apologize to me, claiming instead that he was older than me and that why did I call the head office. This was from some guy who called me a goat!

I think the guy was just plain frustrated but he went too far with his reactions. These guys quickly forget the training that was given to them during their induction and all.... It's very wrong to throw the card at you.

Did you speak to him in a harsh tone or something? Whatever though he still has no reason to act in that manner.

Crime / Re: My Experiences With Pick-pockets by justbeenpaid(m): 1:20pm On Jun 27, 2015
Infomizer:
Yes o! Na only me waka come!!!

It might sound unbelievable but it happened and I wouldn’t have written it (cause it sounded unbelievable) if not that it nearly happened again. Elsewhere!

Place: Ikorodu
Time: 20:00-21:00 Hrs ish

I had just alighted from the bus with other passengers who were busy spewing all forms of expletives at the bus driver and his conductor. Their crime? They had decided to discharge all passengers almost 1km to the bus stop and made a u-turn due to the notorious ‘rush-hour’ gridlock. Knowing that nothing I said (or did) would prevent them from repeating the same actions the next day, under the same circumstances, I just kept my cool and decided to use the strolling time to reply some pending pings on my phone. I had nothing to worry about after all - it was a busy place and I was partly aware of my surroundings since I still had to look up intermittently. I had in my possession, three phones (2 in the front left pocket of my jean pants and one in my hands) and my wallet (in the back right pocket of my jean pants).

Some seconds into my journey towards the Oga Roundabout, one guy walked past me (on my right side) and almost immediately slowed down and gave me this look indicative that I had just brushed him accidentally. I knew fully well that I didn’t brush him, and not wanting any tracasserie, I mindlessly apologized and continued chatting on my phone. He then engaged me in a chat that went somewhat like this:

Dude: “I think say you no go talk sorry, I for show you”.
Me: “No vex jare”.
Dude: “You be correct guy joor” (he extends his hand in an handshake gesture)
Me: (Giving him a girlish handshake - y’all know this type) “No lele

Note: none of us stopped walking, and he was slightly ahead of me, so he was quite close to me.

Dude: “If no be say you talk sorry ehn, I for punch you like this (he feigns a punch clearly not directed at me so I didn’t mind) or make I gbege you like this” (he then grips my jean pants by the waist on the left side and made as if to lift me).
Me: “Oga wetin dey worry you nao? Free me joor” (I pushed him away and wasn’t in anyway aggressive mainly because a highly concentrated waft of an alcoholic nature oozed from his mouth and nose [joking], and partly because I am not aggressive in nature).

Dude: “I just say make I tell you ni

I checked my back pocket for my wallet and thankfully it was still there, only for the guy to be like:

Dude: “Find something for your boy nao
Me: “Oga, nothing dey o! Next time abeg” (My default response to Lagos Beggars)
Dude: “No wahala bros” (He then extends his hand to give me another handshake which I took hurriedly and continued tapping away on my phone).
Dude: “Baba, which side you dey go?” (To be sincere, I was attributing this emergency paddy paddy to his inebriated state so I answered him)
Me: “I dey go that Agbowa-Imota side” (kinda false)
Dude: “Me I dey stay that side” (he points towards the direction I was headed from, though on the other side of the road). “If e just reach that side, ask of Taiwo” (I paused for a second to acknowledge his last statement with a nod and then I was likesmiley
Me: “No lele baba, nice meeting you

And for the umpteenth time, I faced my work phone and headed towards my destination. But I could notice from my peripheral vision that he was fixated on the phone I held in my hands (some bigass screen phone - bout 4.7” display). Then he was like:

Dude: “Bros, you suppose hide your phone for pocket o. The police for this Ikorodu dey para gan. Dem fit think say you be Yahoo boy o
Me: “Nothing dey happen joor, sebi na person wey be yahoo boy go dey fear

I was wearing a T-shirt, Jean pants and kicks and carrying a back pack containing my laptop so I don’t understand the “Yahoo boy” tag” but I still obliged and pocketed the phone (in the left pocket where the other 2 phones were), though mainly because I now wanted to really get out of this drunkard’s sight if he wouldn’t get out of mine.

Dude: “No talk so o! Dem go just come gbege you, drag you like this
(So he grabs me in the same ‘demonstrative’ manner he first did and this time around, I shoved him off a bit aggressively)
Me: “Guy, free me nao!! Wetin be all this one?

He releases his grip, stops in his tracks, and I go my way...but not without stealing one last look at him. Then I noticed that he tried to pull off his shirt, changes his mind, and wears it back. That was when I decided to check for my wallet again - and phones. I then discovered almost immediately that there were only 2 phones in my left pocket instead of 3, and upon closer scrutiny, it was the one I pocketed last that was missing. All this happened in less than 3 seconds! Immediately, I went back to him and was like:

Me: “Bros, I take God beg you, wey my phone?
Dude: (Raising his hands) “If e search me, e no see am, wetin make I do you?
Me: “Bros, I no want make we shout, I go find you something (I meant it), just give me back my phone

At this point, I was already frisking him, but to my surprise, the phone wasn’t on him. I swear down, that realization scared the bejesus out of me!

Dude: “I say If e search me, and e no dey, wetin make I do you?

Then a ‘Good Samaritan’ stopped by and asked:

G.S: “Wetin happen?

Sensing that there had to be an accomplice since the phone wasn’t on him, and this G.S had to be that accomplice, I immediately started frisking the G.S while my eyes were still fixated on my number 1 suspect.

Me: (While frisking the G.S) “This guy (referring to the first suspect with a head gesture) carry my phone and him dey deny
Dude: “Abi eleyi siere ni?” (Is this one mad), and he landed a punch on my face.

Note: Passers-by were still passing by and no one paid attention to our little 'ménage à trois'. Yet.

I first held my cheek bone where he hit, felt an excrescence immediately. The transition from 'drunk' to 'Mayweather' within 2 seconds got me going like WTF! I wanted to hit back but decided against it, but instead went for his collars - oppa women's-you-go-kill-me-today style, grabbed ‘em with all the strength I’ve got and shouted “Ole! Ole!! Ole!!!” at the top of my voice.

Since it was a busy place, some passers-by had stopped and had began to confront him while I held him. So I continued my verbal assault and was like: “He’s a thief! A pick pocket! He picked my pocket and stole my phone!!”.

Before I could say Jack Robinson, the G.S tapped me and was like: “No be your phone be this?”.

Y’all shoulda seen the wave of relief I felt when my phone touched my hand (My Precious!!!). I then released my grip completely and was explaining to one of the roadside sellers that the phone had surfaced o! Meanwhile, the baga was now sober and was apologizing to the elderly men that were tongue-lashing him. The G.S disappeared immediately and the roadside sellers were urging me to wait until the matter was completely resolved so the matter won’t escalate. For a second, I was considering doing just that. But in a matter of seconds, some thugs had arrived the scene and were shouting “Ki lon happen?” (What’s happening) and were attacking the small crowd that had formed with slaps and blows (apparently in a bid to disperse the forming crowd and get the pick pocket to fade out). I was even on the receiving end of one hot ‘sapa’ on my ‘ogo’ and upon receiving this, I left the scene shaperly, went into the nearby Addidae store, cooled off, and headed home - with my swollen face as a voucher to the invaluable lesson I just learnt, and my phone in my pocket.

Fast forward a few weeks later...Last Sunday to be precise

Place: CMS
Time: 17:30-18:00 Hrs ish

So I boarded a bus from Alausa to CMS and upon alighting at the last bus stop (close to Tantalizers), an impoverished-looking fella approached me and was begging for money. I ignored him and was walking towards Marina from Tantalizers and this guy was following me and was even specific in demand when he said: “Brother, please even if na 50 naira to buy Gala”. I didn’t even bat an eyelid (I detest Lagos Beggars!!!!!!) and continued in the direction I was headed. Just as the beggar was about to give up and probably look for a better prospect, I ‘ran into’ someone from behind and actually hit his leg with mine unknowingly while I was walking past him. I quickly apologized and was sincere in my demeanor when he said (yea you guessed right!!): “If to say you no talk sorry ehn, I for land you better punch”. Whilst he uttered this statement, he was actually trying to catch up with my brisk pace. I then remembered my Ikorodu episode and went Ben Johnson on him...

Then it dawned on me..there is a pattern! It’s a working modus operandi. They accuse you of brushing them, and whether you apologize or not, they try to confront you physically and empty your pocket.

In the second scenario, maybe if I had given the 'beggar' guy some money, the thief would have hinged on the fact that I just returned my wallet to my pocket, and as such, might be briefly distracted from there (after all, I had just put it back). I don't know what would've happened, but I'm glad I didn't wait to find out.

But before these recent encounters, earlier in the year, I boarded a Shuttle from Festac to Second Rainbow and when the shuttle discharged some passengers at Apple Junction, one weird looking plus-sized guy boarded and sat close to me. I was with a friend who sat close to the window and we were engrossed in our convo when this new passenger started sneezing at a rate of 20SPM (Sneezes per minute) or Once in 3 seconds. The distance between Apple Junction and Second Rainbow isn’t up to a minute on a good day and this guy sneezed all through. When we got to Second Rainbow, this guy paid, collected his balance and alighted, then a woman from the back seat wanted to alight so I allowed her (them shuttles only have two seat rows behind the driver). Immediately she stepped out, she bent and picked a phone from the floor (just by the front right tyre) and was like, “who get this phone?”. You can imagine how I felt when I realized that the phone that she held in her hands was mine. It was in my right pocket the last time I checked and I could only think of two explanations as to how it could’ve left my pocket.
1. The phone had a mind of its own and decided to leave my pocket in search of greener pastures...clandestinely.
2. The ‘sneezer’ distracted me with his sneezing bout and picked my pocket successfully, but he was unable to effectively hide it without drawing my attention so he was careless with it and it fell off while he tried to alight.

I might be wrong and completely paranoid, especially in the CMS scenario, but I think these pick-pockets have gone Nollywood on us all! They are street-trained psychologists/mentalists and have mastered the art of misdirection à la Apollo Robbins. You just need to have a default mindset that any stranger, that gets too close either knowingly or not, and whether s/he is acting un/necessarily friendly or not is a pick-pocket. That's how to be safe from their subtle overriding of your brain's mechanism of alert.

All these happened this year and after the third NTE case (I call it the Near-Theft-Experience), I began to think about appeasing the god of pick-pockets. I must’ve done something wrong at one point in my life and the Adjustment Bureau grin had selected 2015 as my year. I’ve survived all three attempts made at my pockets so far and I feel I owe my duty to everybody out there that commutes the streets of Lagos (or any metropolis). Learn from my gullibility o (I know ALL that I did wrong by in retrospect)! Bois are not smiling!!!

People, why not share your experiences be it NTE or not? Let's learn o!

I had an experience when I was much younger. I think in 2003 or thereabout. I had just gotten that Nokia 8310 that small one with white light and radio. A friend of mine had visited me in Festac and I was seeing her off. On my way back, one miscreant walked up to me and the following conversation ensued:

Miscreant: Shey you know Gbenga wey dey play ball for 322
Me: Sorry I don't and I kept walking
Miscreant: Walks up in front of me " shey oh mo Gbenga to gba ball ni" by this time he was too close and touched my body, I quickly shoved him off...

I was sure I could beat the hell out of that boy and as I was about brush him, someone else walked past and said " leave am oh him head no correct"

Because of my very sensitive moment, at this point, I put my hand in my pocket and discovered the phone was not there. So I said " my phone" and they guy said which phone? But I wasn't sure if I left the house with the phone and also I had 1k in that same pocket which was still there.

I just stood there confused while he walked away. I quickly rushed home and it dawned on me that mehn... Them don obtain my phone.

I kept calling the phone and he kept rejecting it until he finally switched it off. I walked the 4 corners of Festac that day hoping that I will eventually see the guy but unfortunately... I didn't have the same luck that I had when they jazzed me and collected 4 pairs of plain trousers from the boutique where I managed.

This one happened in 2012... I was preparing for Jamb and was managing a boutique. So this guy walked into the shop and requested for plain trousers which we sold for N5,000 then. I packed the stuffs into our custom polybag and he told me he didn't have cash with him that I had to come to his office to pick up the money ( which we usually did).

I had waited for our sales girl but they came in late so I had to lockup to shop just to get the goods to the " A**hole"... I took a bike heading to his office and I saw him walking so I had to alight from the bike. We got to his office where they sold babies stuff and all that he told me to wait outside and then he went inside.

He later came outside and told me I had to chill that his madam was around and he didn't want to raise any suspicion because she was looking for a way not to settle him. We walked further a bit and this guy just collected the polybag with the trousers from me and in a commanding tone he said " go back to that shop and tell Ik to give you the money" and like a mugu I turned back and headed straight to the shop without thinking.

As soon as I got into the shop and asked after Ik, they asked me if I wanted IKB cream or something; that was when my eyes became clear and I dashed out of the shop and the stupid idiot had gone. I took a deep breathe and evoked my analytical skill. There's only 4 ways to get out of Festac from that point and the closest was through 1st gate or new bridge.

So I took a bike to told him to head towards first gate. As we got to first gate, lo and behold I spotted the idiot crossing the road. Luckily for me the traffic warder had stopped the cars so he was just strolling a drinking pure water. I ran after him and gave him a deck at the back of his neck and with my smallish voice I shouted " You Dey Mad" Thief God don catch you today, I quickly grabbed the nylon and mehn the guy just took off.

The okada man was shouting hold am hold am but mehn my own concern was to get the plain trousers. What would I have told my Chairman who believed my smartness? I headed straight to the shop oh and as soon as I dropped the stuffs, I went home to sleep since the sales girls was around.

Lagos na real wah my brother!

One year no chic?like no Doking? how you take do am? i would have said you are doing the right thing, but i mean your stuff gets up in the morning right?How can you not want a woman in ONE YEAR?

Even Catholic Priests that are CELIBATES, usually get busted doing it with their parish boys once or twice in a Year. The Truth of the matter is that you should check your GAY-O-METER because no normal man don't want a female everyday, let alone ONE YEAR sex Vacation.

Maybe you just do a lot of SOAPY, but that too is not normal. BROS get a woman, as being in a relationship does not distract you from making headway in your business.

It's shallow for you to think in that way. People like you will never understand. And who says a man cannot stay a year without sex or using soap?

I've seen love, I've felt it. Its cool, touching. It connects hearts and minds and strikes with coordinated rhythm. It makes you care for that person so much that the thought of the love brings tears of joy.

The kind of love that makes your heart leap at your partner's sight. All you feel is excitement. It makes you a poet. It is a height of understanding.

A love where both of you are united towards a cause - purposeful. A relationship where both of you have so many similarities that you'd almost think God specially united you...

Such kind of love is not founded on money, not wealth. Its not hard to get. You meet after a few days and it feels you've known each other forever.

Now that's the love I want, not the crazy love out there. cheesy

have you really been in love?

" Love not found on money, not wealth".... Please can you tell me where to find it?

I have loved, done everything even the most " mumuish" things just to please a girl. I was faithful and all but what did I get in return when things went bad? Heart break!

So I tried to date one or twice again and it happens that they all like money! Who doesn't like money? Even your male friends like money! They will be around you when there is money to spend. But when there is no money.... Everybody turn their way!

There's no better love than the love of a Mother smiley

People are just so annoying when it comes to their dirty thoughts. A real man thats what you're if really does reasons you mentioned are genuine and you are not gay. Now is not the time to flirt with women get on your feet again so you can satisfy the lustful desires of ladies (they all seem to be the same) and shut your ears to what people are saying. Anytime someone comes up to you to tell you that same trash give then a well structured insultive answer.

Thanks bro... I am very straight. I don't want to imagine the stress of a relationship now.

i knew someone that always visit a friend of his in my place. The friend is a chronic womanizer but he (first guy) doesnt do dating at all. Through with his nysc but still jobless, he told us he wasnt ready that he need to fix his life to make his future a better one.

But people eavesdrop saying he was dickless, impotent some assumed he was a pro in psaedophiles because he plays with children very well, bought things like biscuits, sweets, books and dash it out randomly to both male and female children in the streets without a hidden agenda.

My brother dont mind them, do things that will make you happy, try and focus on making yourself a better person. If it is as a result of having little money, use it to better urself or business or to transport urself to that interview venue.


Money go woman go....money come woman come.

Thanks a lot bro
