BusinessRe: Why Having A Good Business Plan Is Necessary To Raise Funding For Your Business. by MrPristine(op): 4:52pm On Jan 29, 2025
Maria had always dreamed of opening her own bakery. She spent years perfecting her recipes and saving up every penny she could. Finally, the day arrived when she was ready to turn her passion into a reality.

However, as Maria began to look for funding to launch her business, she quickly realized that she needed more than just a great idea and a passion for baking. Investors and lenders wanted to see a solid business plan that outlined her goals, strategies, financial projections, and risk management.

Maria was hesitant at first, thinking that a business plan was just a formal document that wouldn't add much value to her business. But after attending a few networking events and speaking with other entrepreneurs, she realized that a business plan was essential to securing funding.

With the help of a business advisor, Maria created a comprehensive business plan that outlined her vision, mission, and objectives. She defined her target market, outlined her marketing and sales strategies, and provided detailed financial projections.

Armed with her new business plan, Maria approached investors and lenders with confidence. She was able to clearly articulate her business model, demonstrate her understanding of the market, and showcase her potential for growth.

As a result, Maria was able to secure the funding she needed to launch her bakery. Her business flourished, and she was able to achieve her dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

Maria's story highlights the importance of having a solid business plan when seeking funding. It's not just about having a great idea; it's about demonstrating that you have a clear understanding of your business and a strategy for success.

PoliticsAtiku: The Cheated Naked Truth by MrPristine(op): 12:55pm On Jan 26, 2025
Atiku Abubakar: The Cheated Naked Truth

Once upon a time, a certain retired General told Nigerians a story of blackmail. The story went thus; “The Lie said to the Truth, 'Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice'. The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed".

"But suddenly, Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing Truth's clothes. Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back".

"But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger, indignation and contempt. Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared, hiding her shame (unclothedness). Since then, Lie has run around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy". The story from the ex-General fed Nigerians with lies, which many believed and have repeated several times.

Because Nigerians have no desire to know the naked Truth, we continue to praise those that have tormented and may still be tormenting our Nation. John 8:32, says: ”you shall know the truth and the Truth shall set you free”.

They were re invited to Paris to testify, but Atiku, the truth, who was vilified by one of those invited, is not among those invited. Say NO to blackmail. Interrogate stories before believing them line, hook, and sinker. Slowly but surely the truth will prevail, and H.E Atiku Abubakar shall be vindicated.

BusinessWhy Having A Good Business Plan Is Necessary To Raise Funding For Your Business. by MrPristine(op): 11:42am On Jan 23, 2025
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the rolling hills of entrepreneurship, there lived two ambitious adventurers, Alex and Ben. Both shared a passion for innovative ideas and a dream to turn their respective business ventures into successful realities.

Alex, a free-spirited entrepreneur, had a brilliant concept for a sustainable energy startup. With unwavering confidence, Alex approached potential investors, armed with nothing but a charismatic pitch and a rough outline of the business idea.

Meanwhile, Ben, a meticulous and strategic thinker, had also developed a groundbreaking concept for an e-learning platform. However, before approaching investors, Ben took the time to craft a comprehensive, well-written business plan. The plan outlined clear objectives, market analysis, financial projections, and a detailed roadmap for growth.

As fate would have it, both Alex and Ben presented their ideas to the same group of investors. Alex's passionate pitch generated initial excitement, but as questions arose, the lack of a clear plan became apparent. Investors grew skeptical, and Alex's proposal was ultimately rejected.

Ben, on the other hand, confidently presented his well-structured business plan, addressing every concern and question the investors had. The plan's clarity and thoroughness instilled confidence in the investors, who were impressed by Ben's preparation and vision.

The outcome was no surprise: Ben secured the funding needed to launch and grow his e-learning platform, while Alex was left to reconsider and refine his approach.

As the villagers would say, "A well-written business plan is the treasure map that leads investors to the hidden treasure of your business's potential." Ben's success served as a testament to the power of a clear, comprehensive plan in unlocking the doors to funding and growth.

PoliticsWhy Atiku Should Be Nigeria's Next President by MrPristine(op): 8:44pm On Dec 01, 2024
Why Atiku Abubakar Should Be Considered for Nigeria’s Presidency in 2027

1. Experience in Governance

Atiku Abubakar's political career spans decades, providing him with a deep understanding of Nigeria's socio-economic and political challenges. As Vice President of Nigeria (1999–2007), he played a pivotal role in implementing reforms under the Olusegun Obasanjo administration. His efforts were critical in revitalizing the economy through privatization initiatives, which aimed to reduce government inefficiency and encourage private sector growth.

2. Overseeing the Bureau of Public Enterprises, which facilitated the privatization of inefficient state-owned enterprises.
Pioneering reforms in the telecommunications sector, resulting in the liberalization of the industry and the establishment of GSM networks, a development that revolutionized communication in Nigeria.

3. Economic Vision and Policy Proposals

Atiku has consistently demonstrated a clear vision for economic transformation. His policy blueprint, “My Covenant with Nigerians,” presented during the 2023 elections, outlined comprehensive strategies to tackle Nigeria’s pressing challenges. His economic agenda focuses on:

4. Restructuring: Advocating for devolution of powers to states, enabling them to manage their resources and foster local economic development.

5. Job Creation: Proposing industrialization and support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to address unemployment.

6. Fiscal Prudence: Commitment to reducing Nigeria’s debt burden and increasing non-oil revenue through diversification.

7. ⁠Advocacy for National Unity

Atiku’s vision for Nigeria has always been centered on inclusivity and national cohesion. As a Northerner who enjoys widespread support across Nigeria’s diverse regions, Atiku represents a unifying figure capable of bridging ethnic and religious divides. He has consistently called for a restructuring of Nigeria’s political framework to ensure equitable resource distribution and foster unity.

8. Commitment to Education and Human Capital Development

Education is a cornerstone of Atiku’s vision. As a successful entrepreneur, he founded the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola, providing world-class education and empowering Nigerian youths. His initiatives emphasize the importance of investing in education to drive innovation, reduce poverty, and build a knowledge-driven economy.

9 Resilience and Dedication

Atiku's political journey reflects resilience and unwavering dedication to democratic principles. Despite challenges, he has remained steadfast in his pursuit of a better Nigeria. His ability to adapt, learn, and remain relevant in Nigeria's dynamic political landscape is a testament to his commitment to the country.

10. International Exposure and Network

Atiku’s extensive international exposure positions him as a leader with a global perspective. His network of relationships with international business and political leaders can attract foreign investments and foster partnerships to address Nigeria's development needs.

Atiku Abubakar’s extensive experience, clear policy vision, and commitment to Nigeria’s unity and prosperity make him a strong contender for the presidency in 2027.

His track record in governance, focus on economic restructuring, and dedication to human capital development align with the aspirations of many Nigerians for transformative leadership.

By prioritizing economic growth, national unity, and good governance, Atiku Abubakar has the potential to lead Nigeria toward a brighter and more inclusive future.

PoliticsRe: Tinubu A CIA Asset, Why Is He Still The President? by MrPristine: 8:59am On Nov 13, 2024
This is the reason why T-pain almost dragged Nigeria into war against Niger republic last year to protect foreign interests. Imagine how many Nigerian soldiers would have died and the cost to the economy just because we have a president that is working for the CIA against the interest of Nigerians.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria’s Debt Service Ratio Drops From 97% To 65% by MrPristine: 10:45am On Nov 06, 2024
Some very ignorant BATists have been peddling the so called decrease in the country's debt service ratio as an achievement of this failed T-pain administration.

In their desperate attempt to find anything to grab on to as achievement of the disastrous administration they failed to realize that the debt service ratio only improved as a result of the crash in value of the Naira which translated to an increase in Naira revenue for the government.

For instance, before the advent of T-pain, Naira was exchanging for N462 to the dollar compared to now that it's exchanging for N1,700 to the dollar. This means that government is earning four times more Naira for any dollar denominated revenue inclusive of revenue from crude oil and Customs duty which constitute a bulk of the Nigerian government revenue.

What we need to realize is that in real terms when discounted to dollars, the Nigerian government revenue hasn't increased but it just appears to have increased because the Naira has been devalued and Nigerians are being made to bear the cost of the devaluation while the government is benefiting from it.

So apologists of this clueless administration claiming that they have been able to reduce the debt service ratio are only telling you half of the story because it was only possible due to the crash of the Naira that is now causing hyperinflation in the country and not through any deliberate effort or sound economic policies of the current administration.

PoliticsHow Nigeria's GDP Per Capita Compares With Other Countries by MrPristine(op): 7:09pm On Oct 24, 2024
When the PDP administration of Jonathan handed over power to the Buhari led APC in 2015, Nigeria's GDP per capita was over $3,000. After nine years of extremely corrupt and incompetent leadership by both Buhari and Tinubu, Nigeria's GDP per capita is down to $877.

The sad reality is that if Nigeria had been able to maintain the average of 7% GDP growth rate which was averaged during the PDP years, our GDP per capita would have been over $5,500. APC has been nothing short of a curse to Nigeria and Nigerians.

PoliticsAliko Dangote: A Man Many Nigerians Love To Hate by MrPristine(op): 12:50pm On Oct 18, 2024
Aliko Dangote is one man that many people love to hate because of his immense wealth but they can't admit that they hate him because of his wealth so they have to conjure up other reasons why they dislike him.

Some have said it's because he is a capitalist (as if we are not all capitalists 🙄) while some accuse him of being a monopolist and point to his cement business to justify their false claims. In reality, Dangote is just one of at least seven major cement manufacturers in the country so it's impossible for him to be a monopolist in the sector even if he is the biggest player in the industry.

Of recent some people decided to hold him responsible for the fuel scarcity and increasing petrol prices in the country just because his refinery has commenced operations while conveniently forgetting that Nigeria has a fifty years history of fuel scarcity and petrol price increases.

For me as someone who has a deep understanding of how the economy works, I see Dangote as a national hero that should be celebrated. His investment in the cement industry saves Nigeria $3 billion in forex that would have been used to import cement every year while also creating over a hundred thousand jobs in the cement industry value chain.

His refinery and Petrochemical company will not only save Nigeria $10 billion in forex used to import petroleum products annually, it will also generate an additional $9 billion annually in exports of petroleum products, fertilizers and petrochemicals thereby positively shifting Nigeria's balance of trade by at least 30% which will lead to an appreciation in the value of the Naira. The refinery will also create over 400,000 jobs in it's value chain.

Where others sees problems, Dangote sees solutions and he has made his wealth by solving some of Nigeria's biggest problems and this is exactly what he did with his refinery to help solve Nigeria's fuel supply problems.

In response to the completion and the successful beginning of operations of the Dangote refinery, Forbes reviewed his networth and now estimates Dangote to be worth a whopping $28 billion. While this seems very impressive, the estimate is quite conservative as it could easily double when the refinery ramps up production and after a year or two of smooth operations. Listing the refinery on the stock exchange would also result in a significant increase in it's value.

No individual dead or alive has had this much positive impact on the Nigerian economy and Dangote definitely deserves to be celebrated for this laudable feat. For adding so much value to the economy, he certainly deserves all the wealth he has acquired. Congratulations to him as he zooms up to Forbes billionaires list.

PoliticsHow APC Took Nigeria From Top To Bottom by MrPristine(op): 3:56pm On Oct 14, 2024
When Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999, our GDP was a paltry $58 billion while our GDP growth rate was less than 0.6% and per capita income was less than $500.

Within one year, the PDP administration of Obasanjo/Atiku was able to increase the GDP growth rate to 5% and by 2002 were able to achieve an economic growth rate of 15.8% which remains the highest economic growth rate in the history of the country.

During the PDP years, the country was able to average 7% economic growth rate in the sixteen years that the party was at the helm of affairs of the country and this culminated in Nigeria becoming the biggest economy in Africa with a GDP of $568 billion and per capita income rising to $3000 by the time they ceded power in 2015.

Sadly since 2015, the country's economy has been on a downward spiral and from an all time GDP size of $568 billion then, the GDP has reduced by over 50% to $252 billion in 2024 while Nigerians have been subjected to unprecedented economic hardship in the same period as a result of two successive and completely clueless APC administrations that have tragically reversed the unprecedented growth the country enjoyed during the PDP years.

The real irony is that these charlatans in APC labeled the PDP years as "years of waste" despite the phenomenal and unprecedented growth that the country enjoyed during the PDP years. I just wonder how they will describe the APC years now that they have succeeded in bringing the country down from top to bottom.

The origin of the Lekki refinery

I have heard talk that the government wanted to build a seaport in the Lekki area since the 1980s. I also heard talk that the government wanted to build an airport in the Lekki area since the early 1990s (at that time some people were debating about whether the noise from planes would disturb people that lived in Lekki Phase 1. They didn't realise how big Lekki was).

However, all this talk was just that, talk. Nothing concrete was done about these ideas, in fact, the government did not even make public announcements about them, they were more like rumours among people that were close to government.

Nothing concrete was done until Bola Tinubu became governor of Lagos in 1999.

The Tinubu Administration proposed a free trade zone in the Lekki area. It would have a deep sea port, an airport, a refinery, a metro rail line, new residential estates, its own power plant, etc. Governor Tinubu travelled to China to attract investors to the project and most of the companies that were involved in building and running most of the industries and facilities at the free trade zone were from China.




https://allafrica.com/stories/200605120070.html
Arrant nonsense, the idea of Free trade zone was a policy of the Obasanjo administration and the Lagos state government merely tapped into it being the commercial nerve center of the country and also being a port city. Any other governor in Lagos state would have done the same so stop trying to give a charlatan like Bulaba credit for the initiative of others just because he tapped into an obviously good policy. The Obasanjo administration licensed a total of 22 free trade zones including the lekki free trade zone and it wasn't even the first choice for the Dangote refinery which was originally meant to be sited in Olokonla free trade zone before governor Amosun frustrated Dangote in siting the refinery there.

Atiku should go and rest, he should stop seeking political relevance, when he and obasanjo were in power what efforts did they do to solve the problem in the oil sector.
They privatized the refineries for greater efficiency, sadly Yar'adua was deceived into reversing the sale and those refineries have remained moribund since then and being used to siphon billions of dollars of public funds under the guise of maintaining them.

That said, it was because they sold the refineries to Dangote before the sale was reversed that got Dangote interested in building his refinery so in reality, Dangote's refinery was a seed sown by the Obasanjo/Atiku administration which is now blossoming today.

Omonigeriarere:
Reference was actually made to it by Jesus Himself but with no emphasis. He didn't condem it but emphasize was put on righteousness which means that one can still be a good tither without witnessing the kingdom of God.
Jesus was addressing pharisees who were under the law in the passage you are referring to so it was still binding on them to tithe at the time. However, the law was brought to an end with the death and resurrection of Christ and the bible makes it clear that Christians are not meant to observe the mosaic laws.
Christianity EtcRe: Why A Private Jet Is Necessary For General Overseers by MrPristine: 9:05am On Sep 01, 2024

Speaking on the issue of pastors owing private jets; Olu Johnson said that it was of necessity for some pastors to own such, as it was not to showoff but rather to propagate the gospel of the kingdom.

“Sincerely, I do not blame pastors that have private jet in our time and season. Pastor Adeboye is busier than the president of Nigeria – the president of Nigeria oversees only this nation, I don’t know if we can know how many nations Pastor Adeboye is overseeing from Redemption Camp.

“The man is overseeing 197 nations: I have missed some of our very important meetings where I am the host for flight schedules; if I had the means, maybe I would have hired a flight and wouldn’t have missed those programmes. Some institutions and individuals in this nation have their private jets; if the work of a pastor has become enormous like the work of Pastor Adeboye or Oyedepo, I sincerely subscribe that if they can afford it or the church can afford it; it is necessary.” – Rev. Olu Johnson
Arrant nonsense, is any of their churches bigger than the catholic church globally? They don't even have 1% of the wealth of the catholic church yet the Pope doesn't use a private jet. The so called G.Os don't have to be every where to run their church empires, there is something called delegation amongst other administrative practices for running large organizations.
