There is hardly any business that is 100% online. Money made on like comes from money moved online from offline like from banks and from goods and services. Internet entrepreneurship is a real and thriving business word wide. However, you must beware of scammers if you want to do business online. There are millions of them out there and they are making good money too

Search for business knowledge like the world is coming to an end then work like hell on a very good idea. Money follows from there. That is business

The best way to make money is to use your brain more than your muscles. The brain is such a wonderful piece of equipment we all have but unfortunately many people have not learned how to "think" properly

Blogging is fun but far from being as easy as many people claim. This is because it is almost an "everybody" thing. Google is more concerned with quality and originality than traffic. Of course you the publisher makes money from traffic. The competition is very high and very keen. It requires hard work and resilience. I speak from experience. If you are having fun like i am having, the hard work means nothing. I am not using conventional blogging sites. I run my own blog on my site and Google gave me adsense within two months of establishing my blog when i had under 10 visits per day to the site.

Starting a business even as a student is the smartest thing a student can do in these hard times. Apart from making a little money on the side, you learn practical and invaluable business lessons.

Here is my own experience which still helps me till today. I bought a dozen pack of St Micheal pants and came to school to sell them. My friends and room mates "rushed" them on credit to pay later. One week down the line none paid me. By the second week when they still didn't pay, my business went bust because i had no more capital to continue. Thanks but no thanks to my friends. Hard lesson which remains with me and now dictates how i do business with friends.

For the records, Paypal has blacklisted anything Nigeria. Log into their website to find that out. All these circuitous routes are typical Nigerian ingenuity and temporary. The day Paypal gets wise to these roundabout routes, the game will be over. Tread with caution pals.

Mark my words. The banks will certainly find a way to get back that charge by using some other bogus but fanciful name. Those rogues in denim suits are at times too smart for the CBN

There is plenty of room to make money online but Nigerian scams are almost ruining the whole thing. My advice is that people should be careful when dealing online but they can deal. Many of the businesses like the one we run on our site are legit and profitable. There are many more good ones out there. It is good to follow those who "know road" as Nigerians will say.

I am of the view that without a change in our attitude to work and business, a change in the administration of our laws, a drastic reduction in crimes and criminality, a new Visa policy on its own will not, repeat will not bring about any significant increase in FDI. Ambassador Ashiru should be told this in very clear terms before he raises our hopes in vain once again.

When did FRSC become a law maker? The legal driving age in Nigeria is 18 so what are they talking about? We have more problems with drunken drivers and drivers under the influence of other drugs than the age of drivers. That is what should engage the attention of FRSC.

There is hardly any of those writers who will not tell you his own personal story of rags-to-riches. Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy, Ken Hayashi and many others tell you their own personal stories. Keep reading books my friend. Your level of wealth and where you will be 5 years from now is directly dependent on the people you meet and the books you read. You can quote me on that.

LBanks: I dont believe in your idea. For me personally those motivational books are what shifted my mentality from an employee mentality to an entrepreneur's mentality

Shopping online is good, convenient and the in-thing now but everyone should beware. You can easily be scammed. Do your home work diligently by investigating the sellers very well. Reputation counts a great deal in the business.

A bank is a bank irrespective of whatever name called or whichever religion is in charge. Jaiz bank here we come. The more the merrier.

frosbel: Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “This is coming after over five years of raising fund for capitalization, stiff opposition from some Christian groups and media bigots amidst a myriad of other challenges,” Disu Kamor, spokesman of the Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC), told OnIslam.net.

Jaiz Bank Plc began Shari`ah-compliant financial operations in Nigeria in January.

Based in the capital Abuja, the ban has two branches in the core Muslim northern states of Kano and Kaduna.

It is expected to spread its tentacles to other regions in the coming years.

“The whole idea of this banking option is to bring more people into banking in Nigeria that provides banking without interest,” the bank chairman, Alhaji Umar Mutallab, told the bank’s inaugural Annual General Meeting.

“This kind of banking is for all religions because no religion wouldn’t want to help, especially in funding critical project without using interest elements.

“Whether it is Christianity or Judaism, every community wants to borrow money without being bugged down with multi-layer interest structure.

Islamic banking has been a hot issue in Nigeria since the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) unveiled plans to introduce Islamic banking services in the country.

Christian groups have strongly opposed the move, accusing the CBN governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of favoring one religion above another.

The umbrella Christian Association of Nigeria threatened a legal action unless the CBN withdraws its license to Jaiz to launch Islamic banking services.

But the CBN rejected the Christian accusations, saying the model was only optional and is meant to give Nigerians an alternative to the much-criticized conventional banking system. Sources at the Jaiz bank told OnIslam.net that the bank’s operations started on a low-key without any press briefing in order not further heat up the socio-political atmosphere in the country.

Nigeria, one of the world's most religiously committed nations, is divided between a Muslim north and a Christian south.

Muslims make up 55 percent of the population, Christians 40 percent and five percent atheists.
Nigeria’s Muslims and Christians generally live peacefully side by side, but regional and ethnic rivalries bubble under the surface.

Muslim Support

MPAC called on Nigerian Muslims to throw their weight behind the nascent Islamic banking industry.
“Alhamdulillah! The Islamic banking is here: our religion mandates it; we fought for it; and with the Mercies of Allah, now we’ve got it,” Kamor said.

“It is therefore incumbent on us to learn about its operations, support and sustain it.”
Prof Ishaq Lakin Akintola, executive director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), told OnIslam.net that it behooves on “all of us Muslims to rally round this initiative to ensure it succeeds”.

“Whether we will act now or lament later, the choice is ours. This is the time to be proactive so that we’ll not be forced to be reactionary later.

“Finally, Allah loathes riba (interest), Jaiz Bank affords us the chance to please Him, the merits of the banking system are conspicuous and the time to support it is now!”

Islam forbids Muslims from usury, receiving or paying interest on loans.

Transactions by Islamic banks must be backed by real assets, not shady repackaged subprime mortgages.

Shari`ah-compliant financing deals resemble lease-to-own arrangements, layaway plans, joint purchase and sale agreements, or partnerships.

The Islamic banking system has been already practiced in 50 countries worldwide, making it one of the fastest growing sectors in the global financial industry.

In a report last November, PricewaterhouseCoopers said the $1 trillion Islamic finance industry was expected to grow by between 15 to 20 percent per year going forward.

Dr. Abdul-Lateef Adegbite, scribe of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), said Islamic banking has come to stay.

“We thank Allah (SW) for His mercies for letting this dream come to a reality in our life time,” he told OnIslam.net.

“It is indeed a dream come true. Together we must support this initiative in order to shout down those who are always against Islam.”
