Charism:
Entrepreneurship seems to be the order of the day today, the press glorifies it, government officials put lots of emphasis on it as the only way out of poverty, its even a compulsory course for all university students. NYSC is all about it, from your afternoon lectures in camp, to your SAEED. But is it really worth it? Are they telling us the truth, or is it mere propaganda by politicians to give excuses for their failure?
Daily we are bombarded by happy ending stories of people who made it by starting up their business, we are told to emulate the likes of Dangote, Otedola, mike Adenuga. But the bitter truth is that not everyone will make it like Dangote. As a matter of fact the chances of Success is Very rare.
People who make it are the lucky ones, lucky in the sense that the have opportunities that others never had or will never have which they harnessed to their advantage.
Opportunities like capital, good location, skills, business climate, experience e.t.c. These variable are not things you have control over. Take for example Dangote started his business with just #500,000 (a huge amount of money during the 70's) given to him by his uncle Dantata (one of the richest men in nigeria at that time) who also groomed him in the tricks of business management. There are many people who have beautiful business plans out there, but no capital to fund them. Even when the capital is available, you don't any experience about the business climate of the business you are venturing into, its like a blind man crossing the highway unaided.
The truth of the matter is that not everyone is meant to be entreperneurs, if you believe in the determination, nothing-can-stop-me mantra, you might probably end up with a small food-stuff shop/kiosk business, or like the road side akara seller whose income would not be enough for you to start a family. If it were that easy, then our proffesors of business administration in our universitys, would have been top business moguls by now.
Truth be told, our politicians need to sit up! And make economic policies to would encourage investment and growth. If the economy is favourable, both entrepreneurs and employees, would be better-off.

Thank you all for the numerous advices and suggestions. Unfortunately, my GF is not helping matters at all. Even tho I respect her privacy and person, I had to violate that due to this situation by secretly going thru her phone whatsapp messages and text messages. I read to everything and I even discovered more scary tales. The moment she noticed I was with her phone, she told me she needed to make a call and I gave it back to her only for her to delete all messages, made her call and dropped her phone back to the table. I picked it up and checked again and Viola!!! All messages abracadabra. I'm just smiling now and feeling like a Don acting like I don't know nothing... . Thanks yall... I think I can handle it all from here. Since she has decided to be a player, I'll coach her some more before silently walking away. Don't ask me how.
BTW...
Thanks all. I love all yall...

Don't tell me you are not aware of the new CBN's policy.
For every credit alert you get, #50 is being deducted.
Pls google it to get more info . . . it's cheating I tell you

dason4life:
It's too early for this kind of a trash to hit the FRONT PAGE!
What concerns me with the kind of teeth he wears?
How will that prevent CBN from deducting #50 from my account
just because somebody sent me #1000?

Good evening fellas...

I love my Girlfriend so much. She happened to be my sisters friend back in the University. Well they were staying in same hostel back then. I didn't meet her thru my sister, we met during an occasional event way back 2014. My sister has been silent about everything right from the on set she saw her pic on my phone, little did I know my lil sister was waiting for the right time to strike. Well, I finally built the courage to introduce my GF to my mom since I have decided to step our relationship up. The moment I gisted my sister about my plans... She went on whatsapp and warned my GF to leave me and go back to her ex. I still didn't know any of this was going on until my GF sent a text to my sister saying "If you don't want me to marry you brother, I will leave your brother for you and marry someone else".
The moment my sister got that message, she started telling me her story back in school and how she cheated on her 'then bf' when they had a little misunderstanding and she dated someone else pending the time she settled with her BF. She keeps telling me she is not a type of girl to be trusted and all these blah blah blah girls talk. She even had to call a guy who has dated her before and put it on speaker but I didn't mind cuz I felt it's just a girl to girl things...
My GF broke into tears while telling me all these on phone and actually confessed to every allegations laid on her. Went to check my sister's phone to re-read all their chats and I didn't like what I saw actually but I'm still playing matured.
Now this whole issue has blown up to their alumni whatsapp group where all her mates were accusing her of leaving her ex BF just because she found a greener grass.. All those type of talk.

My question now is that... Should I overlook her past and all these drama and proceed with my plans? Can I trust her with her

Please I need advise from matured minds only .

This blame blame govt has finally seen the opportunity to blame again. I'm pretty sure these refineries were not working before the pipeline vandalism by the militants.

On a second thought, they could have blown the pipelines themselves to justify why the refineries aren't working. #YeyeDeySmell

She's 27. Among all the rich men asking to marry her she loves non of them but her Aba boyfriend that is a shoe maker. She loves this guy die, so she will do anything to makw him successful. Let them be pls...

Was she charmed or what??

This issue is really drilling the heart of my parents and i.

MOD'S please we need urgent responses

Truth be told, all students have heard this 1001 times....

But there's no encouragement in the society, when you see Martin Elechi of 85 years still contesting for political power where do you now want the students to occupy when they are done with school?

Even if they resort to entrepreneurship the society is still a barrier, no stable power supply neither is there security.

It all bothers on the government and their policies. A government that gives youths 1million naira immediately after graduation to start up a business will encourage many other youths to become entrepreneurs.

Topestbilly:
Ok...

Something similar happened to me n marriage scares me now even tho am not rich yet talkless of u dat will feel like, I don't wanna fall into d hands of gold diggers.

My advice.

1. Do u best to forget anything about ur past relationship issues.

2. Don't see ladies like bird of the same feathers

3. Try making new female friends (don't show interest in relationship immediately)

4. Try not to reveal your status in any ways.

Lastly and very important.

5. Don't bow down to pressure, take ur time n use it wisely.

Csami:
Do whatever that makes you happy. Don't let the actions of four ladies and Vivian dictate the your life and the lives of other responsible women out there. If I were you, I be very happy I caught the LovePeddler before we got married. If you can handle been a single parent, why not go for it? Mama would understand with time.

VampireeM:
then what it means my dear is you ve not met the right lady.... There will always be this lady out there who will change your mind and your heart.. Just believe, its inevitable and nothing is impossible in love

VampireeM:
@bold, you ve not tried yet. Its all about mindset. Lets assume you ve not met the right lady YET cause when you do, you will even be the one head over heels for her.

I was at a Church today and I almost wept for the black race. Is it that people don't read their Bibles or they just choose to be gullible and stupid?

The Pastor or Prophet as he claimed he was always said that he isn't a beggar and he doesn't need anybody's money, but his actions were quite different. He acted like a beggar to me.

He was even so bold to request for so much money from his members and they saw nothing wrong at all. Okay, let me list all the money he collected so you can see for yourselves.

1) Who wants to give God the biggest note he/ she has in his/ her pocket?

2) Brown envelope.

3) White envelope.

4) Offering

5) Who wants to give money to the visiting Prophet? Tell the prophet thank you, Sow a seed now.

6) If you have 5000, 10,000 or any big amount of money you want to give to God.

Women came out mostly and I must say the church made almost N200, 000 or even more in just a day and this happens every Tuesday and other days they fellowship.

Things I noticed about the church...

1) The Pastor is an owner of a big car, while the members were mostly poor women and few men.

2) The Pastors dressed far better than the members. In fact, the members looked like people with lots of financial problems.

3) The only things the members get from these Pastors are prayers and a promise that God will reward them in 2016. I remember that I went to this same church some years back and the members still looked the same with no much of a change.

When will Nigerians get back to their senses to realize that these Pastors are using their beliefs, emotions and gullibility to steal all the money they have?

Only when we begin to think and come to a reasonable conclusion that God doesn't need money, but humans do, that is when we will begin to think right.

I wish I could take a video of what went on.
