First of all, to all the people who are already millionaires out there through genuine hard work, I'm sending you a very big shout out. I celebrate you. It's not easy making money genuinely at all. I feel awesome about myself, I know it's not a big deal for many, but to me, it is. I want to appreciate God for the wisdom, for making me smart, intelligent, kind in business, not fraudulent and very active. I want to appreciate myself for not giving up on this vision. I have always been trying hard to break this limitation and make my first million naira, but it's been so difficult. For a very long time, since I graduated without any meaningful job, despite all my efforts to get a job, all to no avail. Is either one old man is promising you job, and inviting you to his hotel room to take advantage of you. or people telling you to borrow money and buy a job. In a country where the intelligent ones without connections and money are left to struggle and die in poverty with their potentials. I have always put pressure on myself to become successful. I have been trying to raise money for my business. Over time, I discovered, taking a loan is not easy, following men, is not an option either to my kind of person. I don't even consider that as an alternative, I always see myself as too dignified to trade my body for money. It's a personal decision though.
I'm not from a wealthy home, my dad is late and my mum has tried her best. as a young girl growing up, I've always desire to be extensively rich and I know I can achieve that.
I'm so excited last night, was the first time in my early thirties, I owned a million naira in my account and it's all mine, from my hard work. This money was gotten out of continuous saving ( little-little money). I didn't give up even when most times, I lose money, I have daily expenses, bills from every sides for my family and the rest challenges, I still made it. I'm into buying and selling and I have done well this time. Congratulations to me. I'm a supper young woman. I'm so proud of myself. Thank you Lord for helping me. I can say it anywhere that you have been my everything.
Share your experience, the first time you made your first million naira? Me, I was so excited, I sang worship songs throughout, I was even crying. What are you doing to make money legally? Share your experience with us too
vanitybutiwanti: wike is not Amaechi and Rochas, wike is still firmly on ground, you've never liked him and I don't expect you to come to terms with the truth. Whenever wike comes to town for weekend, people in the other camp tremble.
Yes, Wike cannot be like his master- Amaechi. Amaechi is the best Governor of Rivers state since the return of Democracy (4th Republic).
Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu professionally known as Burna Boy discloses why he doesn’t do giveaways online.
During an Instagram live session with his fans and followers, Burna Boy said that he sees engaging in giveaways online as clout chasing.
However, the singer, Burna Boy made this assertion while revealing his plans of flying back to Nigeria from Paris in his private jet accompanied by his family and crew members.
Unlike his colleagues, Davido, Don Jazzy and others who always engage in doing giveaways online, Burna Boy expressed his opposition to such practices.
According to him, engaging in giveaway online is not his thing because people on Instagram and social media are not the people that really matters. Speaking further, Burna Boy said people who deserve giveaways are not online, they don’t even know what is called Instagram

Ilekokonit: All Nigerian Women especially those living in the UK, Europe and America need to learn LOYALTY from Sowore's Wife.
Sowore last week finally joined his wife and 2 children in America after 5 years of enforced captivity by the Nigerian government.
Throughout Sowore's travails, his wife stood by him and below are some of the steps she took to ensure that her husband rejoined her in the US -
1. She complained bitterly to Senator Bob Menendez who used his office to pressure the Nigerian Government as shown in the first video below. 2. She also complained to a member of the US House of Reps Congressman Josh Gottheimer who also took up Sowore's case and was even part of Sowore's Homecoming celebration party in the US last week. Congressman Gottheimer even brought a gift for Sowore last week. 3. She complained to the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Centre that advocates for human rights issues and pursues strategic litigation to hold governments accountable at home and around the world. 4. She went on live TV programs on CNN and CBS News to talk about her fight to get her husband released from confinement to Abuja. 5. She led protesters to the United Nations Plaza in New York on September 24, 2019 to demand her husbands release. 6. Even when Sowore lost his American Green Card after 1 year of not visiting America, the wife did not give up on him or see it as a reason to declare herself as a single parent in the hope of collecting welfare support for her children and neither did she turn her childrens mind against their father in those 5 long years. 7. Instead she kept Sowore's case on the front burner by constantly reminding Senator Bob Menendez and Congressman Josh Gottheimer of Sowore's inability to leave Abuja talk less of coming back to America since his green card had expired after 1 year. 8. Because she was born in the US, she used that fact plus her UNRELENTING complaints to the 2 US lawmakers mentioned above to impress on the authorities and convince them to allow Sowore come back to re-unite with her and her 2 kids since they all were born in America. 9. Senator Bob Menendez pressured the Nigerian Government on Sowore's case as shown in the first video below and this is all thanks to Sowore's wife not giving up on her husband who was away for 5 years. 10. Sowore's wife ensured her husbands plight was ALWAYS kept on the front burner and this LOYALTY ensured that Sowore was able to reunite with her and their 2 kids last week in America. 11. Also important is that she did NOT turn Sowore's children into his enemies by lying to them, confusing them and brain washing them against THEIR FATHER in those 5 years of Sowore's absence like a LOT of Nigerian women in the UK, Europe and America are fond of doing (for single parent financial support from these foreign Governments) when the husband goes to Nigeria to try his hands at business for just a few months and these women lie to the children that THEIR FATHER has abandoned them. 12. His wife Opeyemi Sowore is the Vice President, Head of Consumer Engagement at Teladoc Health having previously led as executive at American Express, Citigroup and Delta Air Lines. She holds a BA from State University of New York at Binghamton in 1995 and an MBA from the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester in 1997. 13. She has a good job, her own money, was born in America and yet she did not abandon Sowore who was away for 5 years !!!!!!! 14. What a woman. And how lucky Sowore is to have accidentally found such a LOYAL and DUTIFUL wife who loved him genuinely and did NOT give up on him or abandon him when he was stuck in Nigeria for 5 years. 15. Sowore and his wife are now embarking on a second honeymoon with their 2 kids in tow.
TINTINABULATION: Congratulations on your Birthday. There is no greater gift that the gift of life.
You are sad because of two things: 1. You are comparing your life/journey to others. 2. You don't actually know who you are.
When Socrates was to be killed, he was asked to give what he considered to be the best advice in life. Socrates answered and said "Man Know Thyself"
Use this 34th birthday to "know yourself"
Without sounding religious or spiritual, everybody's journey in life is different. Know your God, imbibe the spirit of excellence, be hardworking, shun evil, be honest & be disciplined. There are no Critical Success Factors (CSF) than this.
Lastly i put in to you in the words of Chief Obafemi Awolowo " Blessed are thy sorrows, challenges and adversities that demand courage, blessed be these things, for in they and by they, commeth the making of a man.
gforce5: For those who are dead set on migrating out of the country, you may have to think outside the box in order to accomplish your goal of reaching your ideal destination. The ideal destinations for most Nigerians are the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and to some extent Ireland. This is understandable as those countries have the largest number of Nigerians outside Africa. However, migrating to those countries is a VERY expensive venture. Not only that, bar Canada, citizenship in those countries is a very long process.
The goal for any Nigerian who intends to Japa should be to attain citizenship which will give them freedom of movement and certain rights. No point spending so much money on student and work visas only for you to end up back in Nigeria.
There are many ways to go about this. For example, I know someone from my time in NYSC who acquired Finnish citizenship. He obtained his first degree in Nigeria before moving to Finland to further his education. At the time, tuition fees were free for international students. He also obtained his citizenship within 6-7 years. He then moved to the UK after his NYSC before Brexit. He did all this without paying N20 million on tuition fees and he has freedom of movement within the EU.
Now, you might say that Europe is now very difficult to migrate to which is true. That's why you need to look at EU countries that guarantee easy visas and use them as a step up to the big boys like Germany or France. South America is another option. Citizenship in Brazil is guaranteed within 3 years or so. With a Brazilian passport, you can travel to 173 countries visa free. Also Brazilian passport holders have freedom of movement live in Portugal. That's your entry to the EU right there. In Chile, citizenship is guaranteed in less than 5 years I believe and Chilean passport holders can work (for a certain time) in the States under a trade agreement.
Remember, the goal is to acquire citizenship and not spend more than your budget. Don't spend so much to JAPA only to cry that abroad is tough and you don't have their passport to show for it.
Metrix147: The General Overseer United Church of Christ (UCC) Fountain of Peace, Bishop Prof. Ezenna Amobi Egbo has urged Christians across the country to go beyond dancing and clapping in the church and develop a personal relationship with God.
The clergy who gave this advice in an interaction with ABN TV in Enugu on Friday said closeness with God has remained a challenge in the Christian fold, appealing that frantic efforts should be made for a personal communion with God.
While underlining that it is not easy these days because of economic hardship, he also cited societal events as some of the factors that draw Christians away from God.
Bishop Egbo however expressed hope that the grace of God remains sufficient, noting that God is able to adequately take care of every challenge.
He also expressed gratitude to God for blessing the Director of ABN TV, Mr. Ifeanyi Okali with a child after 11 years of marriage.
In 2007, at an event organized by the Ministry of Women Affairs, Akwa Ibom State, held at Ibom Hall, the anchor of the programme, the Late Margaret Eshiet narrated a story of how a woman gave testimony in church that Nigerian women are succeeding in prostitution in Italy, which she pronounced as "Itary." According to her, the woman said God has helped them to displace Italian prostitutes and now, they are majorly in charge in most cities in Italy; foreign prostitutes o!
Those who believe the prostitutes in Italy are mostly Italians are living in the past. Delegates and contingents from other countries had since overpopulated the profession in Italy.
It is wrong to refer to Akwa Ibom women as sex machines because not every girl you see in Akwa Ibom is from the State, and not every prostitute who speaks Akwa Ibom, like two girls who spoke with such level of fluency, is Akwa Ibom. It could be for advertisement purposes.
Those who do prostitution as a profession can go for their "work" in any part of the world. And the best way to attract customers and sell your products at lucrative prices is to attempt to speak the language of locals.
This stereotype of Akwa Ibom women as "lovers of sex, possessors of fine buttocks, headquarters of prostitution and holders of powerful libidos" is not true. This is stereotyping our women, and that is most condemnable.
During the administration of Senator Godswill Akpabio, the government through the relevant ministry and of course, the office of the the then first lady attempted to sanitize the State of harlots. It was to be discovered that these were professional "players" who only came to Akwa Ibom to be signed on. They came from all parts of the country, particularly, the East to do their career, earn a living and go their way.
The more developed and rich a city is, the more it attracts prostitutes. Why do all the good footballers go to England, Spain, France, Germany and now Saudi Arabia? Because the clubs there can pay. Okocha, Ronaldo, Maradona, Drogba, Messi and other talented footballers do not ply their trade in their homelands, they go to where they will flourish.
That is not to say there are no Gerrards, Rooneys, Terrys and other homegrown "players". But Akwa Ibom women are wrongly presented.
As an Akwa Ibom person, I feel so embarrassed by this kind of video by these two ambitious professionals projecting Akwa Ibom women in bad light.
And the girls who took advantage of their fluency in Akwa Ibom language to paint Akwa Ibom women in sexual colours are very unfair to our women. They are using our humility and kindness against us.
There are so many responsible women in Akwa Ibom State. Other tribes marry from Akwa Ibom State. Are we saying they came to marry sex maestros?
Why not project our women who have successful careers in sports, education, banking business and politics? I don't want to mention names but they are everywhere, across the country and the globe.
But for these two girls, who may be reaching retirement ages of prostitution soon, for them to say so about Akwa Ibom women means they are big signings in the prostitution career. Like they say, it takes a legend to spot a legend.
Of all the good women in Akwa Ibom State, why do they choose to make friends with only the lovers of sex, holders of high libidos and prostitutes? It also means they themselves are PhD holders of sexual activities, and they could have been running out of customers. Is the best way to announce their desire for sex to insult Akwa Ibom women?
Please, disregard their video. Prostitutes are everywhere; no society has the monopoly of harlotry. This is deliberately giving Akwa Ibom women and the State a bad name because something good is happening in Akwa Ibom State.
This is an insult on our collective stakes in Akwa Ibom women who are our women, our wives, our leaders, our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our aunties, our in-laws and our friends. What an insult from attention seekers! Do they want us to tell stories? Don't push us further!

MrCover: Famous Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev Fr Chinenye Oluoma, has urged women who have clocked 35 years and desire to marry not to wait for men to propose to them.
Oluoma suggested that women in that age bracket should break the law and convention by approaching men first, especially men have shown signs of liking to them, instead of waiting endlessly in vain.
The cleric’s advice was contained in a video he shared on his Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to him, those who are above 35 years and continue to wait for men to propose to them suggest they are not yet ready for marriage.
