The difference between PHYSICAL slavery and ECONOMIC slavery is that, In physical slavery, the slaves are housed and fed by the slave owners but in economic slavery, the slaves houses and feed themselves.
Nigeria is a classic case of a country that practices economic slavery.
The common man barely lives on a dollar per day.

JUST ONE BIG MAN AND GOD.

Good! It's said that You Can't Be Rich Serving Others...

In All, God Is The Giver Of GoodLIFE..

I enjoyed your writeup bro Taiwo, God bless you.
the issue presently affecting today's youth is that so many avenues of quick money making has surfaced leading to lose of interest in skill acquisitions. The rate at which betting is going, I wonder what will happen to the generation after us.

A FOOL SAYS THERE IS NO GOD. Could you be that fool?

A greater fool says there is a god, even though the evidence proves otherwise. Could you be that fool?

Good one bro! See! I'm a certified public administrator, but sometimes I do imagine how will I live upto my expectations in life, will I serve the government for 35yrs & earn a penny of 10 - 20 million Naira as pension, when my mate are buying house in banana island for 600million, travelling around the world & driving lattest cars. No! I can't be a paid slave.


Before my career education I enrolled my self in a skill acquisition, that will enable me live up to my expectations. Now I used my skill acquired to buy my self anything I want in life, though this is just a tip of an eyes Berg.



Skill is very good bro.

blood of chisome

So on point. . .what do you have (product & services) that others seek for, is what makes you RICH.

True story; While in Nigeria, I did not attend university and I did not even do a Hnd programme. I did what you would call a Higher Diploma programme. This means that after graduation you will not be allowed to serve in the NYSC programme. Now, this is the strange part of the story. I have worked in two multinational companies (BAT inclusive), two quality home based firms and also set up my own company. All in Nigeria at the time. Guess what a lot of my friends who went to universities were doing while i was changing jobs? they were searching for jobs. They used to ask me how I was doing it? I was changing jobs like someone does boxer shorts. I tried explaining to them my schooling started way back when I was like 3 years old. I had a degree in sesame street, comic bookology, cartoons, movies (not nollywood thank God, that shiit dulls your brain) etc. Basically my mentality was different from childhood. my first Nigerian boss wanted someone who could mix with big dogs and converse with expatriates and big wigs; ever had a conversation with an average Nigerian? believe me, it's very tasking and exasperating, as evidenced from posts on NL. My friends just couldn't understand that it takes more than book knowledge to be successful in life. The Nigerian youth needs to learn and understand this concept. Employers need adaptability and a refined thought process more than they need your book answers/knowledge.

I have talked about customer segmentation, profiling and modeling in my previous articles. I have also talked about various parameters that you can use to measure your customers as well . This include recency, frequency and monetary behavior of your customers. In this article, I want to talk about the role that technology plays in the modeling and profiling of your customers.



One thing you should know is that modeling works best in an automated business environment. That is an area where you have all your customers information in a centralized database from where data enhancement softwares can work on them and tell you what customer A and customer B have in common.



When we talk of technology in this regard, we are talking about automation of the Front Office. We are talking about deployment of softwares that makes it easy for customers to solve their issues on their own and help the front offices that is Marketing, Sales and customer service to develop interaction with customers.



When you automate the business environment, you will be able to see those hidden characteristics that your customers have in common and use that to predict their next move. When you are able to predict their next move, you will be able to prepare what they want before they even ask for it.



Now the advantages….

#1: PROFIT MAXIMIZATION

Automation that is deployment of technology will help you to maximize your profit. If you automate your front office, customers are not restrained to come to your office before they can have access to your products or services. You will be able to serve your customers across multiple channels and this will definitely increase your profit margin and boost customer loyalty.



#2: BOOSTING CUSTOMER LOYALTY

The introduction of technology into a customer-centric enterprise will also assist the organization in building a centralized database of their customers. When they have this, they will be able to know the pattern of behavior that is common to their customers through the help of data mining and data enhancement softwares. With this, they will be able to segment and profile their customers correctly and come up with products and services that meet customers’ needs. Once they are doing business from customers’ perspective, there is high tendency that customers will make repeat purchase and introduce new customers to the organization.

ok.....Walk into ala ogbaga in chokoneze mbaise and poo on the floor....come back in seven days time, type the same thing you typed and I'll believe u

Skill! Skill!! Skill!!! Nice try OP. However, left for me, I'd replace the message focus "skill" with "mastery of an art". Mastery of an art is broad. It can be gained through enhancement of inherent talent (skill) or acquisition of comprehensive and updated knowledge about a specific thing which may not be inherent. The common trait between enhancement of inherent talent (skill) and acquisition of comprehensive and updated knowledge about a specific thing is that they are both developed through informal system of academic setting (using Nigeria formal academic system as reference to how it should not be developed). More so, not all people are interested in learning through kinesthetic method or applying what they learned through kinesthetic (physical activities) in practice, instead some people are more comfortable learning or developing/applying their knowledge through visual or auditory methods.

Summary of my thought above in a layman's language: To succeed in real life, you must learn, master and practice what you were not taught in formal school.

Nice.

Networking is needed but you also have to sit down and thick of what you can do.

nice one bro,alway keep the ball rolling. God bless

Na true talk!! Ntworking is d most important among them. Some people hv d information but no ability to ntwork.

nice update buh youths of dis days dont wana work dia way up ..there is no shortcut 2 success..

Don't just generalized it,because you have no ideal how some youths are working hard to earn a moderate living.

This article is dedicated to students who are still in high school, and undergraduates in the higher institutions learning. For those who are privileged to have access to formal education, there is this long time belief that higher education would guarantee one financial security, fame and success in life. Hence the common advice parents give their children is “go to school, get good grades and a high paying job is guaranteed”. The reality is that this belief and strategy of surviving in the real world is now outdated. Graduates who see the acquisition of a degree as a means of surviving in the real world only get outside there to find out that they were not ready for life at all.

To survive in a 21st century world as a Nigerian graduate, you must equip yourself with the following five tools.

(1) SKILL: One thing you are going to need badly after school and for the rest of your life is money, that is why you still see men in their 40s, 50s even 60s still riding okada and driving taxi to earn money. The truth is that immediately you become a graduate your parents or those who were responsible for your training will stop supporting you financially. They will assume you now have all it takes to survive, so the collection of pocket money will stop, and you will have to start solving your financial problems with your own earning ability. What this implies is that you will have to look for job with your certificate, and most often you will likely be underemployed, meaning you will not be paid what you are worth. The consequence of this is that you will end up not having enough financial resources to actualize your goals. Solving your financial problem will become difficult, and definitely the need for money will rise, because you will start thinking of getting a place for yourself, so that you can be on your own, getting married, going for a master’s program and so on. As this happens, psychological problems such as frustration, depression, self-pity, low self-esteem will start setting in, and if you are not careful, you may get demoralized to the point giving up on life.

To survive or avoid this you need a skill. Skill is the ability to do something very well. In the real world, people don't pay you for your certificate, they pay you for what you can do, and that's is the only legal way of getting money in the society, if you do otherwise, you would be called a fraudster, a thief or an armed robber. For example if I know how to repair phones anyone who has any problem with his/her phone will always come to me , and by the time I help him/her to solve the problem, the individual will pay me for that service. Now the question is what can you do? How can you render direct service with your current course of study?

The point here is you must have a skill. If you have none yet, enroll in a training center and start learning something. There are so many things you can learn within three months, and that would earn you nothing less than 50,000 per month.

Never look down on any skill, just consider your interest and what you love doing, and then acquire a skill in that area. When you do this, you can easily become your own boss after school or even before you graduate. If you are a graduate already reading this article and don’t have a job yet I recommend same. With an extra skill, you can increase your income. Never put your hope on getting a job that is not certain. To be forewarned is to before armed.

(2) INFORMATION: There is a general believe that knowledge is power, and that is very true. The 21st century world is information driven, and you need to consistently update yourself with the latest information in the areas that are critical to your survival. Sometimes people suffer because of ignorance.

If you must meet up with the latest trend, you have to develop the habit if continuous learning, you must be an ardent reader and an unrelenting information seeker. Try as much as possible to know everything you need to know that will help you to maximize your potentials. Always remember that what you don't know is more powerful than you. Keep yourself informed so that you will not be deformed.

Besides the acquisition of information, one other critical thing is the application of the information you have obtained. Having information without using is meaningless. Strive as much as possible to know all that you need to know about moving to your next level and take action at the right time.

(3) GUT: According to oxford advance learner dictionary, gut is defined as the courage or ability to do something difficult or unpleasant. The truth is that life is not fair for anybody, and definitely you are going to have your own share of life's difficulty in your quest for success. If you must succeed in the real world, gut is a necessary factor, because without it you will lack the courage to take action when things are not favorable, and that will keep you long in the valley of mediocrity. You may be very intelligent while in school, but after graduation you will discover that so many of your classmates who were not as intelligent as you were back in your school days are getting ahead, the reason is simply because they have the gut to try their ideas and that's what is getting them going.

To develop this quality, all you have to do is to cure yourself of every known fear. Experts in the field of personal development have identified certain fears that contribute to people's failure in life. Such fears include, the fear of death, fear of loss love, fear of ill-health, fear of criticism, fear of physical pain, fear of old age and so on. I assure you that if you can master these basic fears, you are going to have enough gut to try anything. Action is what produces result. You will never succeed if you don't try and to try all you need is gut.

(4) HARD WORK: In all of human history, hard work has been a critical tool of success, nothing can replace it. For you to survive and excel in the real world, you need an unwavering ability to take action, and persevere until you succeed. Most persons fail in life due to idleness. If you want to be poor all you need to do is be idle, and before you know it poverty will overtake you. A wise man once said that “where talent is lazy, hard work overtakes it”. No matter how knowledgeable, gifted and talented you are, if you refused to be hard-working, you will definitely be a failure. Always have it in mind that hard work is the only way. Never forget to always blend your hard work with strategic planning and persistence. Hard work combined in this manner will produce success.

(5) NETWORKING: Networking has to do with your ability to connect with people that will help you in getting to your next level. Niyi Adesanya, a personal development expert based in Nigeria once define individual competitiveness (in my own word, your capacity for success) as ‘’what you know + how you express it × by who you know and who knows you’’. I completely agree with his definition. The caliber of people you know and people who know you has a way of facilitating your success in life. As the world is today, the people we know to be the best in certain field are not actually the best. There are so many people who would have out-shined them if they are brought out of obscurity, but because they are not known by those who can position them to receive the honour they are worthy of, they remain irrelevant in their cocoon. If we must fully maximize our potential and remain relevant, our ability to network and connect with people who can help us get to our next level is critical.

Never look down on any skill, just consider your interest and what you love doing, and then acquire a skill in that area. When you do this, you can easily become your own boss after school or even before you graduate. If you are a graduate already reading this article and don’t have a job yet I recommend same. With an extra skill, you can increase your income. Never put your hope on getting a job that is not certain. To be forewarned is to before armed.

(2) INFORMATION: There is a general believe that knowledge is power, and that is very true. The 21st century world is information driven, and you need to consistently update yourself with the latest information in the areas that are critical to your survival. Sometimes people suffer because of ignorance.

If you must meet up with the latest trend, you have to develop the habit if continuous learning, you must be an ardent reader and an unrelenting information seeker. Try as much as possible to know everything you need to know that will help you to maximize your potentials. Always remember that what you don't know is more powerful than you. Keep yourself informed so that you will not be deformed.

Besides the acquisition of information, one other critical thing is the application of the information you have obtained. Having information without using is meaningless. Strive as much as possible to know all that you need to know about moving to your next level and take action at the right time.

(3) GUT: According to oxford advance learner dictionary, gut is defined as the courage or ability to do something difficult or unpleasant. The truth is that life is not fair for anybody, and definitely you are going to have your own share of life's difficulty in your quest for success. If you must succeed in the real world, gut is a necessary factor, because without it you will lack the courage to take action when things are not favorable, and that will keep you long in the valley of mediocrity. You may be very intelligent while in school, but after graduation you will discover that so many of your classmates who were not as intelligent as you were back in your school days are getting ahead, the reason is simply because they have the gut to try their ideas and that's what is getting them going.

To develop this quality, all you have to do is to cure yourself of every known fear. Experts in the field of personal development have identified certain fears that contribute to people's failure in life. Such fears include, the fear of death, fear of loss love, fear of ill-health, fear of criticism, fear of physical pain, fear of old age and so on. I assure you that if you can master these basic fears, you are going to have enough gut to try anything. Action is what produces result. You will never succeed if you don't try and to try all you need is gut.

(4) HARD WORK: In all of human history, hard work has been a critical tool of success, nothing can replace it. For you to survive and excel in the real world, you need an unwavering ability to take action, and persevere until you succeed. Most persons fail in life due to idleness. If you want to be poor all you need to do is be idle, and before you know it poverty will overtake you. A wise man once said that “where talent is lazy, hard work overtakes it”. No matter how knowledgeable, gifted and talented you are, if you refused to be hard-working, you will definitely be a failure. Always have it in mind that hard work is the only way. Never forget to always blend your hard work with strategic planning and persistence. Hard work combined in this manner will produce success.

(5) NETWORKING: Networking has to do with your ability to connect with people that will help you in getting to your next level. Niyi Adesanya, a personal development expert based in Nigeria once define individual competitiveness (in my own word, your capacity for success) as ‘’what you know + how you express it × by who you know and who knows you’’. I completely agree with his definition. The caliber of people you know and people who know you has a way of facilitating your success in life. As the world is today, the people we know to be the best in certain field are not actually the best. There are so many people who would have out-shined them if they are brought out of obscurity, but because they are not known by those who can position them to receive the honour they are worthy of, they remain irrelevant in their cocoon. If we must fully maximize our potential and remain relevant, our ability to network and connect with people who can help us get to our next level is critical.
