Ioannes:well said. Lagos is a no man's land just like America is a no man's country. 80% of all d investments in lagos are by igbos, beliv it or not; Alaba and trade fair can testify to dat. Laziness has entered u people's bone marrow to d extent dat u rent house in ur own land. U've virtually sold all ur lands and houses to igbos, what will u do if not to go about collecting "omo onile". 1 Like |

There are 5 distinct habits that kill
financially which you might indulge in
knowingly or unknowingly. As a friend
advised, no time for epistle, let’s look at
them quickly.
1. Excessive Debt
Yes debt. Yoruba call it “gbese” and indeed it
is gbese. It sucks one financially, if you
continue taking debt excessively, you would
soon be helping others to earn while you
become their slave. The key to winning the
money game is the answer to the question:
“who is indebted to whom?” If you are
indebted to me, you become my ‘slave’ till
the day you finish the debt. However, there
are good and bad debt (talk for another
day). Just know that you need to reduce
your debt.
2. Having Only One Source of income
A single source of income is like a one-
legged chair which you cannot sit on.
Having 2 income sources is like having a
two-legged chair, it can’t be sat on too, the
same goes for 3 income sources. Financial
advisors recommend having at least 4
income sources or you could be
overwhelmed by the size of your expenses
unless you are the CEO of Chevron or some
other multinational company. Create
multiple income streams to mitigate the
risk of going broke as expenses swallow
your meager income.
3. Impulsive Buying
Some people have bagged first and second
degree in this and have already purchased
the Doctorate form in impulsive buying.
Just as Robert Kiyosaki puts it, “the rich
invest first and spend what is left but the
poor spend first and have nothing left to
invest”. Beware of impulsive buying.
4. Spending without Earning
An average Nigerian saves money in the
bank and without adding to it, spends it
little by little on non-income-generating
doodads. What causes this mostly is the
aphorism, “counting your eggs before they
hatch”. Why not allow your egg to hatch
and then go for the spending spree?
5. Lack of Financial Goals
This point is supposed to come first but I
am mentioning it last for a purpose. 10 is
more than 1, yet it comes behind. A
Financial goal is a goal you must have aside
your life goal else you may end-up
languishing in poverty. You cannot have it if
you do not dream it and if you have it
without dreaming of it, you might lose it
quicker than got it. This is why it is advisable
to have a financial goal that you work
towards achieving in a dedicated manner. It
is your guide to achieving financial
freedom.

Education as well known is the bedrock of any country. Take a look at developed countries in the world, those of which without them, the world would still be stinking in dark ages. Germany, USA, italy, japan to mention but a few are at the level they are for the fact they don't joke with their Education system. Nigeria our country are falling apart is solely because our Education system are neglected and not taken care of. Good leaders are not manufactured, Education groom them. It's quite a pity on the kind of graduates our country produces, those who cannot make simple sentences. How did they come about to get the certificate? Lecturers are forced to collect bribe in return for marks simply because they are overlooked by our govt. See this picture below and state which driver controls the wheel of this country

Facebook founder, Mark
Zuckerberg, has taken a swipe at United
States President, Mr Donald Trump’s
recent immigration order, describing it as
“a harsh executive order against
immigrants.”
In a lengthy note on the matter, posted on
his personal profile page, Zuckerberg
expressed concern over the long-term
implications that the Trump’s new
Executive Orders will have on the United
States.
He reminded Trump that he and his wife
are the products of immigrants.
He said: “Like many of you, I’m concerned
about the impact of the recent executive
orders signed by President Trump. We
need to keep this country safe, but we
should do that by focusing on people who
actually pose a threat. Expanding the
focus of law enforcement beyond people
who are real threats would make all
Americans less safe by diverting resources,
while millions of undocumented folks who
don’t pose a threat will live in fear of
deportation.
zukerberg
“We should also keep our doors open to
refugees and those who need help. That’s
who we are. Had we turned away refugees
a few decades ago, Priscilla’s family
wouldn’t be here today.
“We are a nation of immigrants and we all
benefit when the best and brightest from
around the world can live, work and
contribute here. I hope we find the
courage and compassion to bring people
together and make this world a better
place for everyone.” he added
Tech coys panic
Meanwhile, the immigration order has
jolted major players in the US ICT sector,
who are now doing hasty adjustments to
their offerings after lashing out on the
policy.
Last weekend, Google CEO Sundar Pichai
sent a heartfelt email to Google
employees, crying out that up to 187
Google employees may be affected by the
aforementioned travel ban. Pichai added
that the search giant will do any and
everything in its power to help them.
“We’re upset about the impact of this
order and any proposal that could impose
restrictions on Googlers and their families
or that could create barriers to bringing
great talent to the US. It’s painful to see
the personal cost of this Executive Order
on our colleagues,” he added.
Also, Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed
similar concern regarding Trump’s
immigration policies, saying that it’s worth
noting that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs
was himself the son of a Syrian immigrant.
In his letter to his team, Cook said: “In my
conversations with officials here in
Washington this week, I’ve made it clear
that Apple believes deeply in the
importance of immigration both to our
company and to our nation’s future.”
Apple would not exist without
immigration, let alone thrive and innovate
the way we do.
“I’ve heard from many of you who are
deeply concerned about the Executive
Order restricting immigration from seven
Muslim-majority countries. I share your
concerns. It is not a policy we support.
“There are employees at Apple who are
directly affected by the immigration order.
Our HR, Legal and Security teams are in
contact with them and Apple will do
everything we can to support them. We’re
providing resources on AppleWeb for
anyone with questions or concerns about
immigration policies. And we have
reached out to the White House to explain
the negative effect on our co-workers and
our company.”
The implication of the order is that Apple,
for instance is allegedly removing apps
made by developers and start-ups based in
Iran from the App Store.
Apple previously opened up the App Store,
Dihikala to Iranians in September last year
but unconfirmed reports now indicate that
the app was removed from the App Store a
few days back.
The App store was one of the biggest e-
commerce services in Iran with millions of
users.
Meanwhile, other tech companies taking a
stand, Lyft has promised to donate $1
million to the ACLU to help them fight on
behalf of refugees.
“Banning people of a particular faith or
creed, race or identity, sexuality or
ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is
antithetical to both Lyft’s and our nation’s
core values.
“We stand firmly against these actions and
will not be silent on issues that threaten
the values of our community,” Lyft said.
In a similar vein, Netflix CEO Reed
Hastings in its Facebook reaction
characterized Trump’s immigration plan as
patently un-American.
“Trump’s actions are hurting Netflix
employees around the world and are so
un-American it pains us all. Worse, these
actions will make America less safe rather
than safer.
“It’s a very sad week and more to come,
with the lives of over 600,000 dreamers
here in America under imminent threat. It
is time to link arms together to protect
American values of freedom and
opportunity,” it added. Source-Vanguard |
