In a conversation with an Indian entrepreneur-Aijay @Hejeoma Your country Nigeria is similar to ours in so many ways. The rich are so rich, while the poor only know abject poverty. The middle class are just very little. Your country has high level corruption just like my country. We have so many ethnic groups & religions, same as you do. Our country has a huge population problem (we are over 1bn), Nigeria has the biggest population in Africa. We have so many problems the same way your country Nigeria has many problems. Are you aware problems are good? I mean coming from a country with problems is a good thing. You want to know how/why I say it? With problems come solutions, be a problem solver. Think solutions & put your solution out there, people will pay for it. I am sure you have heard of the Indian caste system, the system is such that if you are born into the lower caste, there's only very little you can acheive. If your dad is a cobbler, the chances of you being more than a cobbler are slim. The child of doctor has a 95% success rate but it has started changing. In the past 8-10 years, we started having a new set of young millionaires between the ages of 25-35 who aren't from the upper caste system. One would wonder what changed; most of these young millionaires just had an opportunity to attend college/university & today have become very rich simply by becoming problem solvers. The world is evolving, the strong/rich countries were those with military might & oil but today might & wealth is now determined by those who control technology/Internet. A country of over 1bn people, imagine 3k people besieging a bank branch for transactions! It would be a mess! Then steps in the young generation of problem solvers; like Bipin who owns mobikwik or the owners of paytm etc. Millions of Indians run their day to day financial transactions without ever touching cash! Imagine close of work & our huge workforce enter the streets all at once to commute, the country will be on standstill due to gridlock! In comes young problem solvers like the dudes behind 'Ola' or the token/card system our metro services run on. So many young Indians run multiple jobs and do not have time to do simple things like go to a market or mall, young folks behind groffers & bigbasket have made it easy to order & have groceries/food stuffs delivered to your doorstep. I do not know where gas is refilled, I simply bring my phone out & at the push of a few buttons a full cylinder is delivered at my doorstep. I travel a lot for business, all my trips & hotel accommodation are booked on a single app. I get back home & my apartment is dirty, I go on another app & a house cleaner arrives within minutes. I want to change apartments? Easy! All I need do is go on another app and see house listing, pick one & book for inspection. I don't have to go to some high end shop/mall to buy a perfume that the price will be so expensive because of rent/taxes & cost of transportation. I simply go to another app & find same perfume at a cheaper rate. We are over 1bn people, housing should be a problem right? Easy! We now have cooperatives pooling funds to build what we call societies; some societies are high rise (as high as 20 floors) have as much as 1k apartments (some 3, 2 or 1 room). All These apartments are owned by different landlords. We all can't own land, build & occupy or rent as it would cause chaos so apartment buildings to the rescue. When my friends & I first started our business in 2011, we started with less than $200k in one city. Today our company is valued at over $800m and we are in over 18 cities. Our trick? Find a problem , create a solution & leverage on your huge numbers to market it. We service at least 1m people monthly. If we take just 20 rupees from a single client (we take more) how much do you, think we make yearly? Think! When other people see problems see an avenue to bring solutions; that's how the new set of millionaires are being born. |

obinnazy:Modern marriage is a living death for men. I loved my wife for a while and she adored me and we had three beautiful children and still it slowly descended into tedious, grinding, soul-crushing misery. Endless nagging, constant complaints, ungratefulness, squandering money, walking back promises about shared goals, cheating, selfishness, deranged behavior, everything every man tries to avoid. It finally imploded after 8 years when she commenced a legal battle that cost us over $50,000 in attorney fees. Our children are scarred for life. We despise each other with a red hot hatred that I never would have thought possible. The real kicker? I thought I had gotten lucky when I met her. Here’s the awful truth no one teaches young men: The voluntary, love-based, monogamous marriage is impossible for the vast majority of people. Evolution favors variety. Deep in our unconscious brains we are programmed by evolution to repel each other. Marriage, at its core, was never about love. It was about survival and social stability and gender-based division of labor in a pre-modem era when the lives of everyone in the family unit, especially children, depended on that bond. Men are polygamous, women are hypergamous. We come from an alpha male/harem of females evolutionary dynamic, as do the vast majority of social mammals. Geneticists have proven we have several times more female ancestors than male ancestors. Such societies are inherently unstable however. Marriage was the solution to this problem that allowed us to create civilization. Now marriage is irrelevant. Modern technology and the police and welfare states have solved all the problems marriage was designed to solve in the first place. Now it’s unnecessary. The practical origins of marriage are utterly lost on modern women (and a lot of men to be honest). We have replaced it with an unworkable, fantastical, imbecilic model based on voluntary commitment and romantic love WHICH DOES NOT WORK. Marriage’s days were numbered with the onset of the industrial revolution. In the 1960s and 1970s the religious and legal and social constraints that held most marriages together were dismantled. Worse still, we now have an antiquated family court system that punishes men but rewards women. Add in birth control and abortion on demand and smart phones and social media and dating apps and failure is practically guaranteed. Women are never satisfied. It’s in their DNA. Briffault’s Law is real. Marriage must be externally enforced (law, church, etc) for it to survive in the VAST majority of cases. Women are, by nature, materialistic and erratic and solipsistic and duplicitous and malcontented and emotionally disregulated and irrational. When it comes to men, a woman’s “love”is both opportunistic and extractive. No matter how much attention or money you give her it will never be enough. Just ask Will Smith or BIll Gates or Jeff Bezos or Brad Pitt (ETA: or Sylvester Stallone or Tom Brady). I don’t think it is biology possible for a women to be content in a relationship. It makes perfect sense from an evolutionary perspective. Lasting love (which is different from romantic love) cannot exist without trust. Men simply cannot trust ANY women given the current family court system and modern women’s ridiculous expectations and women’s underlying nature. When divorce became an option for every woman, at any time, for any reason, marriage became risk prohibitive for every man. No sane man would sign a modern marriage contract if he really knew what he was getting into. Hell is a wife. Marriage ruins men’s lives. It will destroy your dreams. A wife will eat your soul. Being legally and financially at the mercy of a woman’s emotions is an exhausting, grinding, slow-motion horror I can’t even begin to describe. Marriage is nothing but a loaded gun pointed at a man’s head and the woman gets cash and prizes for pulling the trigger. I’ve had cancer and I’ve been married to a woman who loved me and cancer was preferable. At least I didn’t have to pretend to love the cancer as it was slowly killing me. At least cancer went about it in silence. At least cancer’s behavior was comprehensible. Until the laws change and society reverts back to a rational model for marriage that is enforceable, NEVER, EVER, GET F-ING MARRIED IF YOU’RE A MAN!! Copied |

7 Income streams that you can have with your Job, freelancing, or as a self-employed Today due to increasing expenses and inflation, multiple income streams are becoming a necessity for life. Here are these 7 income streams you can tackle with uncertainties 📌 Salary or Wages: This is the most common form of income for people who work in traditional employment. You receive a regular paycheck for the work you do. 📌Side Hustles: These are small businesses or part-time jobs that you do in addition to your regular job. Examples include selling items online, driving Ola, or Uber, and freelancing. 📌Freelancing: Freelancing involves offering your services to clients on a project-by-project basis. Common freelance jobs include writing, web design, graphic design, and social media management. 📌Investing: Investing can be a great way to earn passive income. Examples include investing in stocks, commodities, and real estate. 📌Affiliate Marketing: This involves promoting other people's products and earning a commission for each sale. This can be done through a blog, YouTube channel, or social media. 📌Rental Income: If you own a property, you can earn rental income by renting it out to tenants. This can be a great source of passive income. 📌Creating and selling digital products: This includes creating and selling eBooks, online courses, or digital downloads such as music or graphics.
