1. Of course, there is a business plan
2. Please rephrase ur question, investment portfolio refers to something else in a different industry, but if u mean investment vehicles, we're considering just this method for now to reduce risks.
3. Apart from the option of investors keeping the products they invested in, the plans and infrastructure we have in place will ensure that our investors dont record losses and that products are sold quickly. A private conversation is needed in this respect

If you think you have a great business plan, then why not source for loan from the bank and keep it rolling.
not easy especially with the fact that most of what we can drop as collateral are either co-owned with other parties or under installmental payment

Romance / Re: How Lola Brought Charm From Ijebu To Nnewi !!! by Negro1: 7:35pm On Sep 02, 2014
donogaga: When Emeka broke the news to his parents that he planned to marry a Yoruba lady, they told him that he was a joker. That would never happen, they said flatly. Was there a scarcity of nubile damsels in Nnewi and its environs or in Anambra State and the entire Igboland that their son would travel across many rivers and many states to marry a Yoruba girl from Ijebu-Ode? Or, had the girl bewitched Emeka with “otumokpo” from Ijebu-Ode? She would not succeed, they concluded. Never!

Weeks after that, nothing was heard about the issue again. They assumed that the case had been closed. Emeka had come to his senses, they concluded. But had he?

Two months later, like a bad dream, Emeka brought up the issue of this Ijebu girl again! This time, his tone was firm. Despite the threats of the parents, he was not cowed. He was resolute to the point of obstinacy. Even the tears of his mother did not move him. His parents concluded their son was indeed under a spell.

When it became obvious, after many months of dialogue, pressure, threats, pleas, tears and quarrels that Emeka was hell-bent on marrying Lola, his parents grudgingly gave their consent, but the father warned that nobody should run to him if the marriage went awry. The father also refused to accompany him to Ijebu-Ode for the marriage rites, saying that as an elder, it was a taboo for him to travel far away from home. It did not matter that a few months before the marriage rites, he had travelled through Ijebu-Ode on his way to Lagos.

Not only his parents were against the marriage: Out of Emeka’s three brothers and two sisters, only his younger sister was on his side. But Emeka overlooked all that and went ahead with the marriage.

When Lola came into the family, it was obvious that she was not welcomed. She was just being tolerated. Matters were not helped by the fact that Emeka had recently relocated his architecture business from Lagos to Nnewi, to take advantage of the burgeoning building industry in the town. And even though he had built his own house, it was within the same compound where his parents lived. It was a large compound: All the four sons had their portions of land within the compound, even though two of them were not based at home.

Another handicap Lola had was language: Igbo was the language of the family, but Lola spoke only English and Yoruba. So, Lola began forcing herself to speak Igbo. Any time she uttered an Igbo word or sentence, people would laugh. But her determination and sense of humour impressed everyone. She also did something that nobody around her did: she curtsied or knelt down when greeting elders, especially her husband’s parents, no matter how hard they protested against such acts. That act and her accent marked her out as a Yoruba, which made people treat her like an egg and call her “Iyawo.”

Most mornings, Lola would go early to the quarters of her husband’s parents, greet them, tidy up their rooms and collect their clothes for washing. She would ensure that Papa and Mama had their meals. She asked her mother in-law to teach her how to cook all local meals. Mama was eager to teach her, and she learnt fast. Any time Papa or Mama complained of backache, rheumatism or fever, Lola ensured that they got medical treatment. Most evenings, she would spend some time with them, either alone or in the company of her husband, before retiring to bed. Her brother in-law’s wife sneered that she was shamelessly trying to buy love with her boot-licking tactics. But Lola was not bothered about that.

Less than a year after Lola came into the family, the music changed. Emeka’s parents, especially the father, never completed a sentence without mentioning “Iyawo.” He would tell anyone who cared to listen, including the wives of his other three sons, that if it was not for Iyawo, he would have long died.

Today, Lola speaks Igbo, or rather Nnewi, like a daughter of the soil. As far as Emeka’s parents are concerned, “Iyawo” can do no wrong. Even when Emeka complains about her before his parents, they will not let him finish before warning him never to do anything that will hurt that “peace-loving girl.”

Unknown to everyone, before Lola left her parents’ home, she fortified herself for any eventuality, having known that her husband’s family were not happy about the marriage. Her parents had also done all they could to dissuade her from marrying an Igbo man, but their words fell on her like water on the back of a duck. So she knew she had a major battle to face in her new home. Failure was not an option, for if the marriage failed or proved unhappy, her parents would give her the I-told-you treatment. Consequently, before leaving for Nnewi, she boiled herself in a pot of charm. Then, she etched the charm on her face, tongue and heart. The power in the charm was meant to automatically make anyone around her to like her. Anyone she smiled at or talked to was meant to be charmed by her.

What is the name of that charm and how much does it cost? The name of the charm is simple: Genuine love for others. It costs nothing to buy. No medicine-man is needed to prepare or administer it. It has no overdose. Everyone can prepare it. Everyone can administer it: At home, in the office, on the street, in the market. Its result on people is magical. Nobody can resist its effect, including “wicked mothers in-law” and “impossible bosses.” Fortunately, it is available in all parts of the world: In Ijebu-Ode or Nnewi, Zaria or Ikot-Ekpene, New York or Kabul.

Brides and brides-to-be must realise that even though in-laws may seem difficult to deal with, they are human beings with flesh and blood. Parents – especially mothers – want to cling to their sons as long as possible. Parents are naturally suspicious and even envious of “an outsider” – who did not participate in bearing, nurturing and raising of their child – coming to take that child away. To them, the wife is a stranger who may have a selfish agenda to destroy the peace, unity and love existing in that family.

It is the duty of the wife not to breeze into the family with an antagonistic stance. Rather, she should reassure her in-laws – through her words and actions – that she has not come to “take away” their son and brother or to destabilise the family, but that she has come in – like a new baby born into the family – to increase the family’s love, peace, unity and happiness.

Everybody wants to be loved, appreciated and respected. When love is shown (over a period of time) to even untamed animals like the bear, leopard, chimpanzee, hyena, etc, they respond with friendliness. Human beings have the capacity to even respond better than animals when shown love.

The rule in all human relations is that you get what you give. If you smile a lot at people, you receive smiles. If you are cold to people, you receive coldness and more. If you love to help others, you receive help and love. Therefore, those who go about demanding and expecting love, care, and respect from others may get disappointed, but those who first give love, care, and respect to others usually receive them manyfold. Showing genuine love to others is a potent charm that works like magic.

OP after all the likes and kudos, you couldn't even give the real author some credit. You must be capable of murder

Romance / Re: Help:i Think She Fled With My Baby by Negro1: 11:39pm On Sep 01, 2014
kekakuz: Long story short:
meet a lady in a car on my way back from my PPA.she cute,o lord she so cute.
I conversed with her and luckily she was heading to the same area I live.
i gave her my number and she called 2days later.i invited her over and long story short we started dating.
whenever she comes around,she cuts the long story short and straight to action.on one occasion,we ran out of condoms and I risked the 5th round skin to skin with the hope of pulling out at climax level guys I could not.the juiciness of her womanliness held on to me tight.i spewed my seed like a generous farmer.to cut the long story short that was the last time I saw her.
I called and called all to no avail.after some months she picked and ask why I was disturbing her.she told me to read the writing on the wall that its over.
to shorten the lengthy tale,I gave up on her. I turned a new live and moved on.few months later I started receiving calls from her and she asked why I forgot about her.i told her it was her fault.i arranged for several meetings but she never showed up.all I see on facebook is a picture of her and a baby..if I call her all I hear on the background is a crying baby and she swore she is not married.
to make brief the longevity of my narration,I belief she ran with my baby,everytime I see that picture on facebook,I remember the ecstatic feeling that surrounded the moment my seed traveled from its sack to her eternal canal.
guys I need your advice
on what to do.

Business / Re: Proof That $20b Or More May Be Missing (A Revisit To The NNPC Barefaced Robbery) by Negro1: 9:04am On Aug 30, 2014
drshrewd: [b]At first when the ousted CBN governor com emir Sanusi Limido Sanusi alerted the president and the general public that $49b was missing I said to myself that this guy must be high on concentrated “ogogoro”( a local alcoholic drink popular among the Niger Delta people). He even collaborated my suspicion when he vacillated around this figure to $10b and further to $20b. As a rational mind I played down this seemingly outrageous claim as I felt it was not worth my deep analytic evaluation. For an amount of money that can transform a ten square miles of Sambissa forest to a mini New York city awashed with sky scrapers, an amount that is about 4% of our rebased GDP (economists should be in better position to appreciate the implication of this) , an amount that can electrify the whole of west Africa sub region with modern state of the art power evacuating equipment, an amount that can fixed all the bad federal roads in the country with modern state of the art drainage and pedestrian walk ways embellished side by side with beautiful trees and flowers, an amount that is three fourth of the federal government’s yearly budget. I said to myself that this bogus claims of missing $20b is as unthinkable as unthinkable itself and realistically unrealistic! And if such amount should be missing then the federal government would be fiscally ruined as well as financially distressed and perhaps America ‘will’ know! I hastily concluded that the CBN governor should refrain from making spurious claim that defies logic and verges on insubordination.

However, after some few months I started reflecting on the poor state of our dear country. The epileptic to zero power supply, the noisome to critically dilapidated state of our federal roads, the unprecedented striking tumult sweeping across critical government organization due to paucity funding and wanton neglect , the poor budgeting (less than 30% capital I bet no serious developing country can make any head way with that) and it very poor implementation, the insecurity plague despite huge amount of money being sunk in that sector and the growing institutionalization of corruption and it attendant impunity. All I can only surmise was that the once crawling giant of Africa has finally fallen deep in slumber. Further reflection on the state of affairs of our dear country literally plunged my mere pessimism into full blown despondency as I review our budget for the past few years.

The FG under GEJ has over the years in his budget proposals pegged the bench mark of petroleum product at around $70 and over these years the product has consistently been sold for around $100 leaving us with an excess of $30. This excess ought to be in the excess crude account (ECA). Let get our hands a little bit dirty with figures and statistics. Nigeria having been producing an excess of 2m barrels of crude oil per day over the years implies that 2mx30 or $60m (conservative estimate) ought to be made a day from the excess crude sales. In a year this amount to 365x60=$21,900m or $21.9b (could this be the missing money?) but again, FG has 60% stake of the joint venture with the multinationals therefore, FG ultimately gets 60% of $21.9b = $13.140b. for two years FG gets 2x$13.14b= $26.28b. wao!! A figure not far from the purported missing $20b not being remitted in the federation account and not in the excess crude account either within the alleged fiscal financial years. In fact the ECA was seen depleting during this period and beyond. The states statutory allocation equally went down to the chagrin of the state governors. The question is where are our monies( the money may even be beyond the said missing money if you do your maths very well).what is even the state of our ECA currently? Some years ago, NOI (okonjeconomics) said that they want to maintain a minimum of $50b in the ECA for economic sustainability and stability. So where is the said minimum amount? The last time I checked ECA is as good as empty.

After my analysis, I decided to disabuse myself of the incredibility that $20b or more is impossible to have got missing. In fact, I strongly believe that far more than that may be missing. I also vindicated Sanusi for erroneously indicting him earlier on. Finally, I wept for my dear country led by a government whose body language strongly consents corruption. A government that has left the anti corruption agencies embarrassingly toothless and inert. A government that is too myopic to know that fight against corruption ought to be her first priority because if corruption is tackled head on then Nigeria should certainly be on a course of being 90% fixed. A government whose head recently appeared on a national TV to proclaim to the world that stealing is not corruption. What a show of shame!
