| Business › I Need Help With Info About Starting An E-company by TimothyNkenu(op): 8:31pm On Aug 03, 2015 |
Hi everyone. I live in East Africa and would love to start an online based publishing business. It's a 10-month plan and I want to know how I can register it with United States' revenue body for tax as well as get it legally recognized. As I said, it's a 10-month plan but the concept is ready and is the first of it's kind aimed at bridging the gap between indie book publishing and traditional publishing. So I would need time to get funding from investors and all. Sorry I deviated. Now back to my question, if anyone has any clue, I'll be most grateful. Regards. Cc : Seun (since you've done the e-biz for long, you can help) egbon Jarus (advice or mention anyone you know). Thanks. |

I changed his username and web passcode today (as he had asked me to) but then they wrote that he should "contact issuing bank". Please he can't go to the bank as it is far from where he stays. So what possible ways are there to stop whatever error it is? And what is the fastest means of sending money to another African country online? regards. |
| Literature › Please Support Poetry In Africa by TimothyNkenu(op): 5:58pm On Jun 29, 2015 |

The above picture is the cover image of "Letters From Africa: The Modern African Poetry Compilation". Now, it is very probable that you do not read poetry but I hope that at the end of this, you would have a reason to change your mind and purchase this particular compilation. To begin with, it is the FIRST EVER poetry compilation written by a group of Africans and more so, done with the sole intent of showing the continent's creativity to the world. Also, it is written in simple language with each poem having a distinct message; each easily understandable.(I shall post two of the poems below so that you have a clue of what what I'm saying). Here are the two poems I am posting. This first one is "We Regret" by Nkenu Timothy A lot of stories A lot of lies Fingers pointing No results We remember those times when They stood with hungry faces Clearly stricken by poverty So we pitied them They came to us with sweet words Saying they know our plight and Would fight for us Lies!!! All lies! With ink stains on our thumbs And joy in our hearts Smiles on our faces We put them in office Crocodile tears of gratitude Hungry eyes of theirs They looked at us and Praised us for "doing the right thing" Days, weeks and years gone by No sign of them close by I hear they live in mansions While we live in mud huts They only come when they need us They are nowhere close to us Nothing to show for our stains; Stains on our thumbs put on paper We regret the times we wasted Standing under the hot sun Shouting their praises, We regret. We regret the ink we allowed to touch us The papers we put in boxes Yes we regret We shall always regret And then this next one is titled "Bury Me" by Moshenyana Wa Taung A time would come when my life would cease When the time comes, I ask that you remember these things Bury my body but don’t bury my beliefs Bury my heart but don’t bury my love Bury my feet but not the path of life Bury my hands but don’t bury my diligent efforts Bury my shoulders but not the concerns I carried Bury my voice but not my message Bury my mind but don’t bury my dreams Bury me but don’t bury my life If you must bury something Let it be my faults and my weaknesses But let my life continue to live on Within you I hope you've had an insight into what to expect of the compilation made by these young African poets? Finally, the last but greatest reason why you should buy this compilation is that you'd be investing into literature in Africa as the funds gotten from this maiden edition would go into the production of the next and subsequently, be able to provide literary aid to the continent as the area of literature is one which is greatly lagging behind in the continent. If I've been able to convince you to purchase the compilation (which I strongly hope and believe that I've done), please find the purchase links below. The eBook version costs $2.99 on all platforms while the paperback costs $9.99. Asante sana (Thank you).

CHAPTER ONE ‘Hassan!’ Kunle thundered ‘Yes sir!’ Hassan replied as he came running ‘Why did you not polish the shoe I asked you to?’ ‘I’m sorry sir, I forgot sir’ ‘You can as well forget your meal for today’ ‘But sir…’ ‘Are you trying to argue with me? Or you want to forget your salary as well?’ ‘No sir’ ‘Good! Now get out of here’ Kunle thundered. [center]***[/center] Ever since Hassan came to the house as a house help, Kunle’s attitude towards him has always been aggressive. His wife couldn’t help but notice the unusual pattern with which he treated Hassan. The attitude was very unlike Kunle as he had treated the previous house helps with nothing short of kindness. ‘Why don’t you like that guy?’ Claire, Kunle’s wife asked him ‘There’s something about him, I don’t just know’ ‘Tell me what it is because ever since you employed him, you’ve not been kind to him’ ‘I’ll rather not talk about it’ ‘Okay!’ Claire angrily responded as she bolted the loudly bolted the door behind her She went to the part of the compound where Hassan slept and she saw him in tears ‘Hassan, why are you crying?’ she asked him ‘Is it because of my husband?’ ‘I don’t know why he does not like me’ He very much knew why Kunle never liked him.

| Politics › Let The Nigerian Legislators Be - Nkenu Timothy Woma by TimothyNkenu(op): 7:19pm On Jun 17, 2015 |
Let The Nigerian Legislators Be A lot of razzmatazz has been made about the whole billions that the Nigerian legislators would make as "wardrobe allowance" (they sure need new clothes). My own view is that the legislators should not be disturbed (let me explain). Now the question is why do I think these 'thieves' (as you label them, and maybe as they are) should be left alone. The logic is simple; 'Do me, I do you'. During campaigns (till the election day). you willingly accepted their gifts of rice, mobile phones, brooms, umbrellas, cash, T-Shirt etc. You never bothered to ask what charity organization they worked for. You just dey collect everything from their hand (God don catch una). The time for getting back what they gave to you has come and you're complaining? Why are you unfair to them? In the words of the wise woman, "There is God!!!" They are not the thieves, they are not the greedy ones, you are! All of you that accepted money instead of listening to their manifestos, asking them drilling questions and checking their background (service-wise). The greedy ones are all of you who voted them on the basis of their political parties rather than because they had displayed capabilities to perform. All of you who accepted their gifts are the thieves as for the legislators, they are barely recovering that which they lost (the next one fit be 'tissue allowance'). So relax, people,no need for noise as una never see anything. Nkenu writes from his blog: http://nkenu..com/2015/06/let-nigerian-legislators-be.html |

| Politics › I Laugh And I Weep: My Thoughts On Bukola Saraki - Nkenu Timothy Woma by TimothyNkenu(op): 4:08pm On Jun 15, 2015 |
[img]http://2.bp..com/-SgTxgj-r8Lw/VX7XZwnDHvI/AAAAAAAAAL8/iCCkX1aXF0o/s1600/pic1.jpg[/img] Right after the election for Senate presidency which made Bukola Saraki the Number 3 citizen of Nigeria till date, a lot of people have aired their views on Senator Saraki. The APC supporters have called him multitudes of names, 'traitor' being the topmost. Others have praised him for they feel that the election brought out the true reality of what democrazy (sorry, democracy) is about. Let me, using this platform, also air out my view on the man and what my thoughts are about him (thank God for Freedom of Speech). Just like on every other subject matter, I shall examine the Bukola Saraki matter from the positive angle as well as the negative perspective as regards to how this election would shape his future ambitions (if he has any, that is). From the positive angle, he is Senate President! An influential as well as coveted position both within and outside the Senate. Given the way democrazy (I mean, democracy) operates, the legislative arm is as useful as the executive as all laws that would affect the citizenry would have to come from there. On a personal note, my joy is that Bukola Saraki was able to beat all odds, even above party opinions and all, to contest and actually win (a round of applause for this political 'Schwarzenegger'). I have always hated the fact that party restrictions/policies have often times, prevented the at-times capable person from contesting for a position (I'm not saying that capability was the issue here, but that however, na gist for another day). Now the negative side, is that I pity him (really, I do). Even as much as I'm not a fan of the god-fatherism that is extremely present in Nigerian politics, you do not fight the powers that be or as the elders say, 'the fingers that fed you'. This pity of mine towards Bukola Saraki would not be present if the events that happened took place in another country where democrazy (okay, democracy) has really matured. Actually, if this happened in such a country, I would sing praises and maybe call him my hero (just for the election o! no be him personality. That sef, na gist for another day). If Bukola does not make peace with 'the powers that be' (una sabi them) then I really pity any (future) ambition(s) he might have within the Nigerian political spheres.
