3. Competition - it is competitive since it is free for all. There are abokis and many other waste managers aware of the opportunity and are active in the business so you develop your convenient strategies to outshine your competition. 4.

Guest feature - Dubamo Aginighan This is a pretty simple and straightforward idea. You simply gather these and send it back to the original manufacturers for recycling. 1. My Story While reading one day, it just occurred to me that waste cans could be recycled. So I called up some friends working at various beverage producing companies (Nigerian Bottling Company and Nigerian Breweries) asking how they handle the waste packaging (PET bottles and aluminium cans). I learnt from one of them that his company did not produce themselves but rather outsourced to a third party. I got the company info and made calls. It is an open market you are free to dive in whenever. The idea is to simply gather as much as you can, bale (compress the wastes so that more can be transported at minimal cost), quality control (ensure that no foreign substance is present), then supply/transport to the collecting facility for pay.

alexistaiwo:Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution provides 10 clear but tortuous steps on how a senator can be recalled from the Senate. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/10-steps-recall-senator-nigeria/ The steps are: 1 More than half of the registered voters in the Senator’s senatorial district write, sign and send a petition to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC alleging their loss of confidence in the senatorial 2 The petition must be signed, and arranged according to polling units, wards, Local Government Areas, and constituency. 3 INEC notifies the Senator sought to be recalled, stating that it has received a petition for his or her recall, if the petition is valid 4 INEC issues a public notice or announcement stating the date, time and location of the verification of signatures to the petition 5 INEC verifies the signatures to the petition at the designation. The signatories must be individuals who appear on the voters’ register. 6 INEC conducts a referendum if more than one half (50% + 1) of the signatories are verified 7 INEC writes to the petitioners stating that the minimum requirements for a referendum were not met, if the number verified is less than one half of the registered voters in that constituency. The petition will therefore be dismissed. 8 INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum are met. The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple majority of the votes of the persons registered to vote in that Senator’s constituency. 9 If majority of the voters in the constituency vote ‘yes’ the Chairman of the INEC will send a Certificate of Recall to the Senate President to effect the recall. 10 The Senate President will show affected senator the way out of the Senate.

Very good... More of that, hopefully in the South. All though the best thing to do is to recall non performing reps and senators. That might still take a while...but soon. Imagine since 1999 till now, none has been recalled home tho we know of many ineffective and useless reps and senators. Most times its only God (The universe, nature) that calls them home. If we deserve better, we should demand better... |

Photo Credit: Partycastlehire Well you could organize the scale of your event based on your available resources and leveraging power. Hand Tags can be purchased that can give the kids access to bits of everything you have setup. E.g Access to Bouncy castle, 3 Professional shots printed or emailed, 100-300 naira pop corn (100 naira worth X 3), Icecream, etc. Well this can be planned for the weekend of Childrens day, and could also be organized whenever and however intended. Idea Summary Find a suitable location Get in touch with small business operators Agree on your cut or their payment for slots Publicize your event (Kids fun day) Make it happen 2. The Business Value Proposition: Entertainment and recreation for Kids Customer Segment: Middle and low-income families looking for alternative affordable recreational/leisure entertainment for their kids. Distribution Channels: Word of mouth, Flyers and posters, email messaging Customer Relationship: Dedicated phone lines, Sales and customer service reps Key Activities: Buying, flipping (renovation), Renting Key Resources: Startup funds (rent of location/bouncy castle), Admin and overall events management competence Key Partners: Other Small-scale Business operators, Local government licensing and revenue team. Cost Structure: Publicity cost (flyers & posters), Rent cost, Security etc. Revenue Stream: Rentals or cuts from the other small business operators. 3. Risks If it rains on the days you are open, it could affect the smooth running of the Business and probably affect the turnout. Any business that would have a good number of kids would need to provide extra security for monitoring against, kidnaps or any kids straying out of supervision. Also first aid and other emergency services should be at standby. 4. Competition If you can do this, some other person(s) can do this also. But what will help as mentioned earlier is to be very sure of who your customers are and do all you can to serve them as best as you can. Summary Being very organized in general service delivery and ensuring all the business operators conduct their businesses and deliver quality customer services. Thanks for following this series. Till next week, stay inspired. For more information, comments questions or feedbacks, get in touch.

1. The Idea Children’s day (may 27) is fast approaching and with it the buzzing opportunity to start a Business or generate some revenue. And this week’s Business startup Idea will seek to exploit this period and seize the opportunities that comes with offering value (entertainment & recreation) for Kids (their parents). It is not news that most Nigerian cities lack public parks where families can just go for fun, as some of the very crowded cities would use up any available space found for real estate development (Residential & Corporate). Some parks, where available, would require tickets to enter (of course not charity Business). Well this post is not about what those park operators are doing but what you could do to get a share of the market. Like in every business you need to be very clear who your customer segment is. There are lots of things some middle income and higher income families would want you to have in place before they could come patronize your Kids Fun Day business. This is important so you know key areas, and how to focus your resources effectively in attracting and satisfying your customers. Know your customer segment and focus on making them as happy and satisfied as you possibly can. You can do some research (work for the money you want) on where to buy or rent a Bouncy castle in your City, then use this to leverage with someone who has space (in a good accessible location) where you could get this setup. For more features, partner with someone people with Pop Corn Machines, Ice Cream Vans, Music DJs, Photographers and their mobile photobooth, etc. Then publicize your mini fun day (s). If you are can coordinate all these, you either get paid a cut from every business operating at your Fun day, or Businesses can pay a fix price to get a spot.

You make them rob you of the power and beauty of Jesus Christ's message. You allow your religion be defined by Clement and Augustine, rather than by Jesus. Romansis a beauty but Roman is the work of a passionate man of God trying to understand what Jesus was saying. The same way Jesus could reveal his will to Paul through His spirit is the same way He can reveal it today. He is same yesterday and today. Early church fathers were human. They allowed Culture swallow tradition, despiteJesus warning them in Mark 7:13 That cultural understanding of the Bible, and mistaking the spiritual for the political is trap a new generation of Christians must avoid. We must admit that whatever we know of God today is limited by our human frailty and stop insisting that all we know is all there is to know. Let's thank God for what His spirit reveals and we understand and pray for Hi, to reveal more to others as He has to us John 14:26 We must NOT insist that our moral codes today are same as God's living word. We must not limi the revelation others get to the ones we have. The same way we must not limit ourselves to the moral codes of the blessed, passionate human being who gave us the story of Babel. Never ask yourself: what did God tell the Isrealites in 700 BC or 500 AD. As yourself, what is God telling me today? Ask yourself: How ca the Bible be a guide (not a rule book) for me to rightly divide the word of truth of what God says for my life TODAY? And to answer that Jesus her said 'I will leave you a dead scroll', He said He would give you a living, breathing Holy Spirit. Oh what joy, wha bliss when you for, a deep, personal relationship with His Holy Spirit. He guides with love, with empathy, with passion. Read Hebrews 4:15. Let me re-introduce you to Jesus! He is not the unloving, forbidiing headmaster marking your sins that prejudiced men insist he is. He is a loving father, whose mercies are renewed every morning. He pays attention to your life today, and gives solutions to your issues today. Emancipate yourself from institution religions that limit you, and misrepresent God to you. Find him for yourself. Build a relationship with him for yourself. Learn about His love for yourself. His word belongs to YOU In John 16:33 and John 15:11 Jesus promised peace and joy. Any faith that doesn't deliver this is not the faith of a Jesus. Stop allowing other men and women lie to you with the Bible. Find God for yourself. Drop the world's prejudices and stereotypes behind. May God have mercy on all of us. |
Including the words the Holyspirit speaks to His children today. And will speak to them tomorrow, Of course before science, phenomena were explained by metaphysics. If something happened, they would retroactively credit to divine force. Because there was no other frame of reference. Random events attribute to God, Satan, spirits. Even when it contradicted itself. Of course the danger of the Satan/God dualism brings problems of its own. But let's leave that one till another day. So clearly, if something historical happened with Nimrod and Babel, someone trying to understand it forced a meaning on it. That meaning can no longer subsist in the light of what God has enabled man understnd through science. It need be discarded. The theology supporting that is one of progressive revelation. God constantly reveals himself to man in the light of man's limited knowledge. In each dispensation. The tragedy of revelation is that while God attempts to introduce us to the limitlessness of his reality. Humans insist on forcing him into the smallness of our cultures, language and superstitions. We cripple the power of his message. Whatever God was trying to reveal to those people, they limited by their simple morality and their insistence on same. Also, literal belief that languages came from babel is what some call is pseudoscientific. The provable history of language makes that clear. That narrative Reduces simplicity of linguistic evolution to simple morality tale that satisfies humans. More importantly, it cheapens God. Makes Him look small and threatened by man's wisdom. Afraid of man's creation. The same God that is unsearchable, according to same bible? If God was truly all-powerful, it would hardly matter whether people worked together or not. He wouldn't punish them for being innovative. Whatever man achieved, He would be pleased by man's dominion of the earth. He would engage that shared reality to reconcile man to Him. When Jesus left this world, He didn't leave the world with a bible. Do we think he was foolish not to? He knew what he was doing. He left the word with a simple message and simple faith, one of redemption and salvation. He spoke to those of His time in language. they could understnd, using symbols like Gehenna and Hades that they could relate with. The specific words He left them were specific to their context, to their culture, to the limits of their comprehension. If Jesus showed up today, his language, his references, his symbols would be different. And guess what? He Does! Via the Holy spirit, If you allow people who want to manipulate and control you force 1st century moral paradigms into a world that exists differently today. |
Then, according to the narrative, God came down to see what his creation was doing, and then theGod that created them oh, God threatened. "Indeed the people are one & have one language; this is what they begin to do; now nothing they propose to do will be So he decided to confuse their language, so they dont understand one another & then scattered them all over the earth, so the building stops. Hmm. Very troublesome at this point. Before I even go to why this story, and especially it's interpretation, is troublesome. First, is the fact that Genesis 10 already notes they humanity already had several languages, making Genesis 11 moot But I have learnt not to nitpick. Like John 10 and 11 re Mary/oil sometimes the Bible's stories are not chronological chapter to chapter. More important is to ask: REALLY? God was so threatened by human accomplishment that he decided to limit it by causing confusion? Think not. Since Rom 11:33 preaches: "the depth of the riches of the wisdom & knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, & untraceable His ways! Meaning: According to the same holy book, there was no way anything that man could fathom/create could reach the heights of the Bible's God Then there is the obvious logical fallacy: We know now, something the authors of those times didn't know. That the earth is just one planet. in a universe of all kinds of spaces and realities. By the time Nimrod and his innovators finished reaching the skies they would have found that God wasnt in the clouds, God wasn't in the sky, and human structures couldn't be sustained up beyond a point on the earth Science hadn't unveiled that at the time, 6,000 or so years ago. And. So the writers of that story didn't know that, But now we know that for a fact. And since God has always known everything, that means God knew this for a FACT. So, how to account for this essentially troubled (to use an euphemism) narrative of God's intent? It's either 1. The writer mistold history. 2. The writer misinterpreted God's intent. Or 3. Someone hijacked an original narrative. But in light of what we know for a simple, observable fact now. The morality of the story makes no sense. God is not in the sky. They didn't know we were just one planet in a vast universe. They thought the sky was all there was. What does that tell us about taking the Bible literally? Or even about focusing man made moral paradigms into the mouth of God? How do you know the moral paradigm was man made? I present to you one of the influential writers on bible/Jewish history, Flavius Josephus Josephus in his book, Antiquities of the Jews, makes it abundantly lay clear the agenda of those who gave us the story of Nimrod/Babel. According to him, Nimrod was a tyrant who tried to turn the people away from God. Nimrod excited them to "such an affront & contempt of God" Correction by the story, story is in Gen 11:1-9 "He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their courage." But ask yourself, why would God be so angry that human beings were building skyscrapers, and then punish them because of that? If that's the case, then where is the punishment for our skyscrapers of today, for our airplanes and our space ships? It makes no sense. Like plenty makes no sense if you try to force pre-science paradigms and morality takes into a 21st century world. The simplicism of those who claim biblical inerrancy is that they ascribe man's failures to divine intent. Men make errors. They also confuse literal inerrancy with symbolic inerrancy. Men wrote the Bible. Men are fallible. Men are limited. God is limitless. I for one don't confuse the term Word of God to mean just the Bible. The word of God is living and breathing, it encompasses pre and post bible revelation. |
To be honest, I am very sympathetic to atheism, and especially agnosticism. Always have been. The major holy books are complicated, often contradictory. The interpretations, even more so. And worst, ridden with prejudice and manipulation, over many years. It's actually a miracle that despite the hypocrisy and strife, that many of us manage to hang on tight - implausibly - to our faith. The more rational thing would be not to. Which of course is the point. Faith is fundamentally, for better or worse, irrational. Which is why science-based apologia for faith is ridiculous at its base. You are trying, unnecessarily, to reconcile two opposed ideas. Take one of the most vexing stories in the Bible for instance, on the 'Tower of Babel'. You'll find it in Gen 12:4-9. Interestingly, you'll find same story in the Qu'ran, but situated under Egypt/Moses in its own case. Historically, its point is to trace a biblical background to multiplicity of languages. But theologically, the story has a didactic intent. Not surprisingly, since the writers of many a scripture insisted on simple morality tales. A very human temptation. Men (and presumably women) came together to achieve something of worth: said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

3. Risks When you estimate the cost of any job, experts advise that you add 20% to the final estimate. Why? It’s always going to cost more than you think it will, say the experts. Always. Remember the warning ‘Beware of 419’ You can be very profitable from this, and you could also lose money too. Do all due diligence as regards all the documentations, and checks. Take professionals along with you and work with their expert advice.

Legal Agreements It is very important to have a clear understanding and an agreed revenue sharing formula. You could approach the owners, refurbish the house, and put it up for rent. Then you would collect a percentage of the rent until your initial funds invested are recovered and a profit too, after which your contract agreement with the house owner can end. It all depends on what terms you all agree on. You think this might be too expensive?? Well, 100 people can pool 30,000 naira each, or 50 people can pool 60,000 naira each to raise 3 million naira, to be managed by a very competent and reliable real estate agent or building contractor. This can be effectively utilised to love-vendor, flip a deteriorated or abandoned house in a good location. More valuable features could be added such as, washing machine, Wifi, TV etc, all in a bid to increase the overall asking price. So what should you look for in a potential house flip? source: Moneycrashers.com 1. Location. Expert house flippers can’t stress this enough. Find a home in a desirable neighborhood, or in a city where people want to live. In a down market, like the one that exists today, finding a superior location can be a challenge. Start by researching local cities and neighborhoods. Look for areas with rising real estate sales, employment growth, and other indications that the town will rebound from the recession. 2. Sound Condition. You don’t want to tear the house down, and start rebuilding it from scratch. Look for structurally sound homes. You may not have the opportunity to have a home inspected, especially if you buy the home at a real estate auction. You need to learn what to look for, or bring someone knowledgeable about building, electric, and plumbing with you to look at the home, to determine if the home is structurally sound. 3. Good Schools and Leisure centres. Homes in a good school district sell more quickly. 4. The Right Fixes. A home with old carpet and wallpaper featuring pink poodles may be easy, and cheap, to update. Other home repairs to tackle might include installing outdoor motion sensor lights, replacing old kitchen linoleum, and replacing hollow doors with six-panel doors throughout the home. 5. Close to You. You will work on this house daily in the weeks and months to come. Do you really want to work all day, and then drive an hour to get home? Don’t invest in a house too far away from where you live; you will spend more money on gas, and it will take longer to fix up the house. 6. Analyze the Kitchen. The kitchen is the most important room in the house. Pay close attention to this area when you buy a house. Most experts recommend you focus on remodeling the kitchen, and then look into bathroom redesign ideas. Analyze how much you will have to spend on the kitchen in order to make it appealing for future buyers. 7. Value. Make sure the price of the home is below its value in the local market. Otherwise, you will not make money. Try to buy the worst house in a great neighborhood, versus the best house in a lousy neighborhood. The worst house in a great neighborhood has nowhere to go but up in value, due to the value of the other homes in the area. Idea Summary • Find a bad looking house in a great location • Agree with the owners either to buy it, or renovate/flip it • Get your money + Profit back from rents 2. The Business Value Proposition: Real estate renting Customer Segment: House owners, Landlords, real estate agents Distribution Channels: Offline and online real estate agents Customer Relationship: Direct Key Activities: Buying, flipping (renovation), Renting Key Resources: Startup funds, Technical knowhow Key Partners: Landlords & Home owners, House agents etc. Cost Structure: Flipping cost (depending on the needed repairs), marketing Revenue Stream: Percentage cuts from rents from tenant as agreed with the house owner |
What Is House Flipping? House flipping is when real estate investors buy homes, usually at auction, and then resell them at a profit months down the road. Can you make money doing this? Yes. Can you make a lot of money doing this? Yes. But you can also lose everything you own if you make a bad decision. This is a Business that has been around for a while in the US and even has TV shows about it. For Nigeria, one can look for below average or abandoned houses (deteriorated) in good locations. These houses can be renovated or essential parts of it remodelled and then put back in the market for sale or rent. One would need to be careful about meeting the right owners or people authorised to do dealings as it relates to that property.
