I have been trying to look for a place to do my accounting training since I finished school. Training courses for accounting and finance, so I can get a bigger job.

I found www.alphapartnerstrainings.com so far so that's where I'm planning to start my courses.

If anyone has ideas for me, I would love to hear them

I got this from Facebook..!

Trumps cabinet is filled with the 1%.

Good luck to any Americans who think anyone other than the rich will benefit from this administration.

Biko... That isn't even near America's top 1%. Someone in that cabinet doesnt even have up to $50 million.

Growing up, I had what I considered was a pleasant life. I was a smart kid, and my parents were comfortable so I lacked nothing. I had an amazing family and amazing friends. Life was good.

I felt blessed but I wasn’t exactly happy. I wanted more, needed more. Everyday was just a cycle repeated over and over again and it was frustrating at some point, looking around me, what I saw was no different. From the next door neighbor to my family, they all lived that way, apathetic and uninspiring. I felt stuck, like my life was this movie plot replayed daily. Honestly, I was confused as to why my life seemed so ordinary to me and I wasn’t going to rest till I figured it out…

The barrister’s society of Nova Scotia is fighting the accreditation of law graduates from Trinity Western University (TWU) for its stance against LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Queer) community. The Nova Scotia court ruled in favour of TWU, upholding appeal to allow graduates of its university practice in its province, therefore dismissing petitions against its graduates. The court further ordered that the barrister’s society be fined $35,000 in legal costs.

Nigeria’s problem scales beyond corruption, economic crisis, unemployment, tribalism, amongst many others. These afore-mentioned problems are effects of one singular cause: Ignorance.

Ignorance is the reason we condemn without second thoughts. Ignorance is the reason we blame the government for the wrongdoing in our country. Ignorance is the reason for our disbelief in the our black skin. This ignorance deters growth and development of the economy.

Because of ignorance, we compare Nigeria’s 170 million people and the oil money to share with the United Arab Emirates’ 9 million people, and we say that Nigeria’s oil should feed Nigerians the way UAE’s oil feeds the Arabs. There are too many mouths in Nigeria for a natural resource like oil to feed.

The only way out of ignorance is the knowledge of technological advancement through industrial revolution.

Every developed country has scaled the technological hurdle. Countries that are developed today, like the United States and the United Kingdom, have passed through their industrial revolution.

Britain’s industrial revolution began in the late 1700s. By 1800, Britain was a major exporter of goods and services. USA’s industrial revolution began in the early 1800s. By World War 1 (early 1900s), the USA mobilized and prepared for war in a single year.

In the last decade, devices and phones have been synonymous with China. China’s technological advancement began in 1980. By 2002, China was producing more Ph.D. graduates than the entire UK combined. In 1981, 63% of China’s population lived under the poverty line. By 2004, this rate reduced to 10%. This means that in 23 years, 500 million people climbed out of poverty.

The economies of these developed countries are much higher than ours because they have scaled the technological hurdle.
Nigeria’s way forward out of this abject penury is technological advancement through industrial revolution. If Nigeria begins production with Nigerian factories and industries made by Nigerians for Nigeria, we will rise out of our economic crisis; we will rise out of unemployment; we will rise out of illiteracy.

If Nigerians mass produce goods and services that Nigerians need we would import less than half of what we import now. Goods and services will be cheaper for Nigerians because there are no shipping costs, and there is reduced buying of foreign currencies. The Naira will begin to appreciate. Nigerians will begin to sell goods and services on the global market with the Naira and the value of the Naira will therefore increase.

If Nigerians start building factories and industries with Nigerians, for Nigerians, there will suddenly be jobs to fill. When these industries and factories are built and commence work, there will be job positions to fill. When these products are made cheaply and commercialised easily, more Nigerians have jobs and can therefore afford these products.

If Nigerians start building industries and factories with Nigerians, for Nigerians, Nigerian children will grow up around products created by Nigerians. This will lead to creativity in these children. This will lead to a willingness to learn in these children. They will grow up fascinated by the technology around them, and system would be forced to sit up to cater to the minds of these children.

The future of a better Nigeria lies in technological advancement. If 500 million people can walk out of poverty in less than 25 years, why can’t Nigeria’s entire population (which is twice as less) come out of poverty.

Let individuals and government create and begin industries in our country that make products we need. Bringing in industries that are set up in other countries does not benefit us as much as we think it does. We need our industries. We need our factories. We need our economy to rise. We need to realise where the bar is, and we need to reach it, and raise it.

The militants of the Niger Delta are spoken of with one major word. Even in schools and universities today, the word 'militant' goes with 'amnesty'.

We all remember MEND, and how they came up with the kidnapping and all. The Nigerian Government offered each militant amnesty of approx. N60,000 a month to drop their weapons.

The Niger Delta Avengers, on the other hand, don't seem to want any kind of amnesty. They don't look like they want to talk with the government.

The MEND militants calmed down when government showed them money.

But these Avengers don't look like they care about money (They haven't shown signs of that so far). So, should we call them militants? And what exactly do they want from the government?
