Yeah, but then every problem creates an opportunity for great minds.

I remember one Indian guy who graduated from MIIT where he went to study mechanical engineering; automotive major.

This guy didn't stay back in United States after his graduation like many Nigerian youths would do, what did he do?

He left US back to his remote community in Southern India to do what you may ask?

In his village, they didn't have government electricity but they farm.

He used the waste materials produced by his local village farmers to design a steam engine plant that converts the waste to hot steam, and he used to steam to drive/propel a locally manufactured electricity generator with very large coil that ended up producing over 300kva electricity.

This guy designed 3 of this local steam plant in his community and started giving them constant electricity, and charged the villagers some money as electricity bill.

You need to see his local office, lol

He then hired more village boys as his staff, who helped him to maintain the plants, and also hired two ladies as bill collectors.

He didn't wait for his government, he gave his people rare solution to their problem and charged them.

This happened in 2002/03.

Later, when government wanted to electrify the community, they had no option than to partner with his existing electricity power company, and now he owns a big power generation company, expanding into other communities.

But if it were a Nigerian youth, he will never do that! It's degrading to his title: A GRADUATE!!! He will rather spend his entire life planning how to get job at Chevron, Mobil, Agip, Schlumberger, etc

I am sorry to say that we Nigerian youths aren't inventive enough...if we are, we won't need government in most things, but government will be forced to work and partner with us

CYRIL RAMAPHOSA, NEW PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA

1. He is the Chairman, MTN group
2. Owner, MacDonald's SA.
3. Chief negotiator of Nelson Mandela's presidency
4. Mandela's 'preferred' successor
5. Involved in the resolution of the insurgency in northern Ireland.
6. One of SA's richest men
7. Has 31 houses
8. Lives in a R30m mansion.
9. Has over 100 cattle

If you use or have used MTN, you have contributed to Cyril Ramaphosa's wealth!

Whatever will be will be. Cyril Ramaphosa was supposed to be Mandela's deputy, and to take over as President having led on the ground mass movement of the National Union of Miners and the United Democratic Front, and being by the side of Mandela at the negotiating table. He was unfortunately edged out by ANC godfathers.

He didn't have a godfather. He was not the son of Govan Mbeki, Mandela's contemporary in the South African struggle. The ANC godfathers preferred the son of Govan Mbeki, Thambo Mbeki, to be Deputy President, a good man and qualified man in his own right.

Cyril, frustrated, left the ANC and active politics and went into business and became very successful. Years later, he returned in measured steps to active politics after Thambo Mbeki, the man that edged him out, had himself been pushed out of power by his own deputy, Jacob Zuma.

Today, the decay of the ANC under Zuma has brought Ramaphosa to the Presidency that he mostly deserved about 15 years ago but from which he was edged out.

Life lessons:

1. Whatever is ordained to be will eventually be.
2. Have a mentality of abundance in the words of Steve Covey. Pursue other lofty and fulfilling dreams if current one seems unattainable.
3. Ramaphosa has become President at a time the LORD ordained for him. He is better today, more exposed, more mature and would do better than if he was President 12 years ago.

He was a union leader who transited to become a business leader. He knows the unions, the working class and also knows the interest of business.

He would be able to build a social compact of private and public sector needed to build a more inclusive South Africa, uniting the nation under one rainbow umbrella as Mandela did.

Best wishes to President Cyril Ramapahosa, the 4th President of the Republic of South Africa.

* I want to encourage you this day to hold on to your dreams. If you're not what or where you desire to be yet, DON'T GIVE UP! It may not be the best time yet and, surely, you will emerge soon in Jesus' name.

*Believe me, God is only packaging you to be fit for the miracle, better and bigger than your own plans.

Stay encouraged!

God bless you richly.

There is nothing progressive about it. The Ivy leagues were always relevant even in those days that they were christian.

Majority? Isn't that a dangerous mindset?

God bless you my guy
the reason they have time to argue all this stuffs is because they are all very rich and comfortable people. For me all this knowledge won't pay my rent or fill my rumbling stomach.

We've been trying to teach him. But we've not been successful. He has friends who delight in his ignorance.

I know MFM collects first fruit offering.


I swear, these pastors are worst than our politicians.


At least, we get to see more crumbs from politicians unlike pastors.

RCCG generates more money than Ogun state. But Ogun state has built far more roads, has by far many people on it's payroll...


Pastors are the major problem of this country. They serve as drainage to weatlh which could have been ploughed back for the development of this country.

Let's not talk about the manpower hours wasted in worship centres.

Imagine if all churches in this country were converted to industries, won't we be by far the greatest nation on earth

Commercialized religion is the greatest scam on earth.

It is because Africa is so religious that they have survived the brute force of European oppression for hundreds of years. If it was reversed and black were the oppressor of whites, the whites would kill themselves or end up in mental asylums.

The Germans are making contingency plans for the collapse of Europe and the breakup of the global order then, presumably, someone at the UK's Defence Academy in Shrivenham is doing the same. It would be better, though, if politicians started engaging the British electorate.

Vaxx makes very valid points about the futility of what I call fake science. Today Science is causing more serious harm to humanity than all the wars and crime combined.

Meaningful Progress can only be achieved when lofty religion works with inferior science.

vaxx:
i never said so, and my first reply to you indicate i support science... i only posit how science is damaging our nature and ruining we the inhabitant. failure to annex science with spirituality is the main cause.

i also correct you when you are trying to overlap greed effect with science effect....

i only posit how science is damaging our nature and ruining we the inhabitant

vaxx:
GREED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SCIENCE....you are overlapping....

when you go to the hospital, what they give is drug and not greed, and at the back of the drug a deadly labels reads '' stop use and ask a doctor if new symptoms occur,if redness or swelling is present ,if pain or fever worse, or if nervousness, dizziness , sleeplessness,nausea, or vomiting occur. keep out of reach of children, and taking more than the recommended dose can cause serious health problems,including serious liver damage.in case of overdose, get medical help or contact a poison control center right away.prompt medical attention is critical for adult as well as for children, even if you do not notice any signs of symptoms'' these is science implication not greed..

in case you have no idea what greed means .... contact dictionary, oxford advance learner i recommend
