Hi,

I'm actually working towards getting my Agent's License in September 2008.

Drop me a PM and we can discuss further.

Cheers,

@ Disturbed;

This is quite an interesting topic, I'll advise you based on my personal experience.        

While I was in school, I dated a girl who in every sense of the word was "someone you can take home to Mama". 
She was very polite, humble and gentle. She was also very submissive and would hardly ever object to things I say or suggest.

I see some similarities between the relationship I had then and yours because in your post you said "she was polite, very humble, very gentle, very neat, very submissive. We have never had a single quarrel. we have never argued on a single issue. we have never disagreed on any issue. and now I'm getting scared. if i suggest anything, she quickly agrees. she never disagrees with me. this is really gettin on my nerves because it is making the whole relationship boring.
i even tried picking up fites with her deliberately but she would apologise for what she did not do and the intended quarrel would end."

Initially, I was enjoying the whole thing, but as time passed by, I began to see some flaws in her. I loved the fact that she wasn't giving me any stress, but I loathed the fact that she agreed to everything I said without raising an eyebrow.
I needed her to be a bit more objective, but rather she would subject her everything to my command.

In my opinion, that's not an encouraging behaviour. though I can't remember if I ever really spoke to her about it.

I knew her friends and family, and I had the opportunity to be in their midst so many times. She was a different person while with her siblings and her friends; but whenever she was with me, she had neither a voice nor an opinion.

Sadly, I ended the relationship after 18 months (September 2001 - March 2003); and the girl still dey beef me till today.

Now, I've been married for almost 4 years and my wife happens to be someone who is more vocal and more colourful, and that had added loads of colour to our relationship, and to my life.

Now here's the difference, if I said to the girl this is what we're doing, she'll gladly say "Yes Sir!"; if I say the same to my wife, she'll say "Honey, have you thought of doing it this way and adding this and that to it?". I may say NO to my wife initially, but if I sit down and have a re-think I'll see one or two things to add or even go entirely with my wife's suggestion.

Looking back over the years, I think my character and person was sort of overwhelming for her.
I think she was kind of insecure in the relationship because I was very popular in school, and I was sort of a bit out of her league.
Though I was very reassuring and I was determined to see the relationship grow, she wasn't helping matters.

Looking at my life now, I've got no regrets cos life is brighter for me and no longer Drab and Dull as it used to be.

Na my two pence be dis O!!!!! Please pick what you think is beneficial and apply it to your situation.

This type of investment is definitely safer than the HYIPs going on in Naija currently.

The thing I like about it is that your cash is paid directly into the broking company's account and not into an individual's account.
I just called the guy that placed this advert and I'm going to explore this opportunity.

Lastly, the broking firm he recommended is CashCraft http://www.cashcraft.com/, which I happen to know and they're currently managing the portfolios of some members of my family.

I'll let you guys know how it goes, fingers crossed.

While Project Management is very good, I believe you'll achieve more and feel more fulfilled if you're working in a field you love.
For example, I work in IT, if I decide to go into PM, I would feel more fulfilled if the projects I'm managing are IT-oriented.

Lately, I've done some work for some Non-Technical Project Managers, and I must say, it's a bit difficult cosc they're not technical people.

For example, lest say I've designed a network for a customer and decided that certain equipment would suit the customer best, based on their needs. Because the project manager is trying to work within given timelines and with a limited budget he may not agree.

So my advice would be don't just go into Project Management, build a career alongside so your can make relevant and informed decisions.

Also if you're based in Naija or the U.K, you should go for PRINCE2 rather than PMI. PMI is very good, but the U.K uses PRINCE2 Methodologies, and Naija seems to be following suit.

Have a Lovely Swearing-In Ceremony tomorrow Guys!!!!

I kind of have the same opinion.
Countries like the UK live solely on the task of the people, imagin paying 40% tax, na Govt u dey work for??

Hmmm, sounds really cool.

Waste is something that both the rich and the poor generate, so with proper planning I believe you can do something really great!.
Good luck to you guys!!!!

A Car is NOT an investment.
====================

2 weeks ago, a colleague of mine bought the latest Toyota Auris (lovely car), but the car was Auto and he didn't like the way it changed gears.
He went back to the dealers after 2 days, and they refused to take the car from him.
After so much hassle and stress, the took back the car, but he lost £1,300 pounds in just 2 days, (chei, if I see that kain moeny play with, na Wealth Solution and Penny Wise I go dump the money )

So bottomline, the moment you drive the car out of the showroom, it immediately starts losing value.

Contrary to what someone said on this thread and I quote:
"WHEREAS ABROAD A HOUSE BECOMES A LIABILITY COS OF THE FEES PAID ON IT IN NAIJA ERE,IT A BIG INVESTMENT AS RATES TO BE PAID ON IT IS INCONSEQUENTIAL."

Na lie O!!! Property na big investment anywhere in the world. In the U.K, it's a good investment o jare.

Have a good weekend Everyone
