Family / Re: What A Man Can Do, A Woman Can Do Better. by Nnamnsoowo(m): 1:01pm On Mar 06, 2015
The man remains in charge of the home and the head of the family.
There are certain things the woman can do better the man who is in charge.
It is the truth. Some women managed the home more than the man who is the head.

NYSC / You Don't Need Government Job by Nnamnsoowo(m): 11:55am On Mar 06, 2015
In this interview with NIKE POPOOLA, Director/Co-Founder, Cruise Events Limited, Oreoluwa Adeleke, 30, speaks on her passion for event management
What is your educational background?
I have a degree in international law and diplomacy from Babcock University. After graduating, I decided to follow my passion for event management by taking up some event management courses in Oxford and Las Vegas. Thereafter I decided to start my event management company in 2008.
Why did you decide to start an event management business instead of going for paid employment?
It is natural with me to plan things properly and that is exactly what led to the business. Back in the days, I would plan birthdays for friends regardless of their budget. Whenever they complain of budget, I would plan with as little money as we could raise and at the end of the day, it would seem we spent so much.
When the same friends were getting married, I planned the events for free. Because I love to organise and it comes naturally, I do it effortlessly and it does not even seem like a task to me. Due to the outcome of the events, I started getting recommendations from friends. Then I decided to go for training and in 2008, I set up Cruise Events Limited.
How has the business been faring?
The business is fairing very well; event management is a result driven business. You plann an event well; someone at the event is impressed and gives you another job or recommends you to someone else.
This is due to the fact that we have not relented on the core values of the business which is to always ensure the new assignment is better than the old one. We must always create something new about every event we plan. And because this is about passion, we always deliver beyond the client’s expectation.
What major achievements have you recorded since you started this business?
Our key achievements have been the ability to attract A list of events and to have delivered to the client’s satisfaction. We have worked for and still work for high net worth individuals, multinationals, oil and gas companies, government agencies and state governments. By the virtue of our creativity, we have been able to handle events that have ranked us among the leading events management companies in Nigeria.
What challenges do you encounter in this business?
The major challenges we had at the beginning had to do with people management as regards supplies. We found it quite hectic managing disappointments from suppliers who had promised heavens and earth and were unable to deliver.
You can imagine what would happen to you as an event manager who has commissioned projects for different suppliers only for some of the key suppliers to create excuse out of nowhere and fail to deliver.
It was a serious challenge but we have overcome that now. Now we know the capability of every vendors we deal with which makes it easier for us to eliminate such disappointments.
What is your vision for your firm?
We have the vision to rank among the top five events management companies in Africa. We want to be renowned for excellence in our service delivery. And to achieve this, we know we have to continually evolve, going the extra mile to deliver, and using cutting edge events planning experience to satisfy clients beyond expectations.
What counsel do you have for young intending entrepreneurs?
I advise them to remain focused and committed to their dreams. I advise them to allow their passion to be the driving force and to always improve themselves on whatever they do. They should start now even if it means they will offer their services for free to some people.
If I didn’t plan weddings for free for my friends, the opportunities I got through them and the events may never have come.
They also must be up to date in their service delivery and must be enduring. It may be somehow tough to get ahead in business sometimes but if they increase their capacities, they will attract opportunities in no time.
What do you think is the solution to the problem of youth unemployment in Nigeria?
The way forward is for us to make our passion a money making venture. God has blessed every one of us with one talent or the other, that if refined will generate huge income. It is high time an average Nigerian youth looked inward and identified what he or she has been endowed with, develop it and turn it into business.
The mentality of getting a good job after school should be wiped off our thinking; it kills creativity and frustrates personal development.
If every student in higher institutions is thinking of what to do after school rather than where to work, the scenario would have been different. The students would have been more dedicated in school because they know that what they take away from school will shape their business ideas and the challenges we have with unemployment may not have been this scary.
How can Nigerian youths become more useful to themselves and the country?
Nigerian youths must take it upon themselves to solve problems. It is by solving problems that their own dreams are realised and opportunities are attracted. It should no longer be fashionable for young people to rely on government to provide jobs for them. Government may never provide enough but we must take our destinies in our hands. Some people have done it and they are successful. This implies that every youth can also succeed in whatever they choose to do if they are determined.
What is the relevance of event management to parties?
Event planning is relevant to make your party a huge success and memorable one. When you have an event planner, it takes a lot of responsibilities associated with planning your party from you because you are placing it in the hands of professionals. Events are relevant for different parties such as marriages, birthday, funeral, weddings and other corporate parties among others. You need event planners for anniversaries, fashion shows, product launches, and conferences. You need to have experience in organizing and managing events. There are career courses that would boost your skills. People from different educational backgrounds also pursue career in event planning. Event managers are responsible for planning, coordinating and evaluating a wide range of events all year round. You have to always remember that first impressions last, so the services rendered must be good. When managing any event, you need to take the correct approach and use the right techniques to ensure that your event is successful.

Business / Little Secret Of Financial Freedom by Nnamnsoowo(m): 11:26am On Mar 06, 2015
One Little Secret for Becoming Successful
There is one little secret you need to know if you want to improve you want quality of life on planet earth.
It’s a secret that everyone knows, an open secret, but is just so hard to grasp for some reasons.
The secret is you must live below your means. Far below your means.
That does not mean you need to live in filth like an animal, it means you need to pay as little money as humanly possible for you to live. If you can live for free, so much better.
Typically, when someone gets a job, a “good job”, their life expenses increase as well. They will usually rent a nicer apartment or “buy” a nicer house (with a mortgage) and they will typically purchase or lease a new automobile. These are big expenses and they come with many hidden expenses like higher insurance premiums.
As the income goes up their spending goes up to match it. Bills, bills, debt and more bills. More money, more stress as they say.
With so many bills there is no way a normal person can just quit their job and focus on an entrepreneurial endeavor.
You need money to live. There is no way around that but if you spend the majority of the money on your home and auto you have a tiny, tiny chance of ever breaking free and making money as an entrepreneur.
Buy what you need and only what you need and don’t buy luxury. The right time to buy luxury is when luxury seems cheap to you.
You don’t want to spend all your time and energy just working to try and pay rent. Your time and energy should be spent on other things, like building your business.
Spend your time making more money and buying freedom. The answer isn’t to slave away for your boss man, making him rich so you can barely get your mortgage paid.
A lot of people can’t get by without buying all the new toys and digging themselves deeper into debt. Fine for them. Live below your means. Live Spartan. Make the money, put in the work. When the new luxury home seems cheap to you that is the right time to buy.

NYSC / The Dangers Of One Stream Of Income by Nnamnsoowo(m): 4:50pm On Feb 26, 2015
One thing i have seen and learned in my few years on earth is that you never can depend on one source of income. No matter how safe something seems there’s always the chance that you could lose that income and be stuck with nothing. I think people tend to get way too dependent on their main source of income and that can really hurt them when things start going downhill.
No matter how lucrative and well paid your current job may offer, you must remember that companies and organisations (private or public) are always looking out for themselves first. If bad times arise, they’re going to do what’s best for the company and not the employee. In this case you won’t have any control about your future but sometimes you do.
It is high time you start to think outside of the box and come up with some unique ways to make money.
How Do I Diversify My Income?
As a young man working in one of the government agencies in Nigeria, my salary barely sustains me throughout the month. I have lofty dreams for my life, family members and others that God has ordained, that, it is through me they will be blessed
This desire to improve my financial status pushed me to discover several ways I can earn additional income monthly without quitting your first job or renting a shop. Today, beside my monthly salary, I earn extra income from additional 4 streams and I am still researching on more additional ways. You can discover some of the ways in link.
Be wise.
