THE 5 THINGS I DID RIGHT IN MY IMPORTATION BUSINESS THAT HELPED ME SELL OUT AND MAKE OVER 2 MILLION NAIRA


THIS IS A 3 DAYS LIVE TRAINING THAT WILL BEGIN ON TUESDAY & END ON THURSDAY (Aug 17 - 19, 2021)

In 2018, when I began my e-commerce/importation business, I settled for a product targeted at women.

I priced it 3X (3 times) the costs I had used to get it from China to my location in Lagos and made over 2 million naira from that product alone.

No, I did not use any funky website or a complex system. I used Facebook, the same Facebook you are using right now.

And no, the product I sold was not so special, it does not even fit the category of what some might call winning products.

Yes, I ran adverts on Facebook to sell my products.

But the truth is, several others run adverts too and do not have the same results I had (and been having)

There is a height of joy you will reach when paying customers run down your phone battery with credit alerts several times in a day.
You need to experience it too!

I knew I had done something right; I knew the strategies I had applied worked and my days of learning has paid off.

Just so you know, importing your products successfully from China/UK/US/Dubai/Turkey has become far-less of a job than selling it.

What really matters is to get customers chasing after you with their money to buy your products.

Here are things I did right:

Before the actual importation of the products, I had burnt the midnight oil, invested time and resources studying a lot of successful people doing e-commerce (home and abroad). I had come up with a strategic list of compulsory, yet simple things to do to secure the bag in this business of e-commerce/importation.

My selling out and making millions from this business in less than 3 months of starting did not just happen - I implemented everything on my list and sales came in torrents!

I have this strategic list of compulsory things to-do that helped me make my first millions from e-commerce/mini-importation.

Simple, yet powerful things/steps to take that most importation 'gurus' are not focusing on.

I began Ecommerce Akademy in February 2021 when I saw that many people do not have access to valid, helpful, no-nonsense information that can help them start or grow their e-commerce business.

And from then till date, I have successfully trained over 847 individuals and business enthusiasts into profitability using these exact methods.

In just 3 days of exciting, no-fluff, straight-to-the-point teaching, I will reveal these strategy list to you with much clarity.

What will this training cost you?

What I am charging for this training is NOT the worth of the training. So, no, you are 'not paying for the training'

The ₦1500 you are paying is to prove to me that you will pay attention during the training and also show up on all the days of the training.

What I discover with most of my free trainings is that people do not actively participate nor pay attention during training; they just occupy slots in the training thereby denying those that really need to be a part of the training, access.

So, like I said, what you are paying for this training is ATTENTION and ₦1500 is the way to prove that.

WARNING: I rarely hold trainings like that and whenever I decide to, several people join in. Pay NOW and do not delay. There is a technology limit to the number of people I can allow to be a part of the training.

So, secure your slot for the training by jumping in now. Go ahead and make payment now.

1500 Naira is small enough to bet on me and my compulsory strategy list.

I love you. See you in class.

well structured write up

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has again said that
there is no hope of Nigeria continuing together as
one nation if the Federal Government fails to do the
needful.
According to the foremost playwright, Nigeria
cannot continue as one country unless it is
decentralised as a matter of urgency.
Asked during an interview with Arise TV if he thinks
that Nigeria can continue as one, Soyinka said, “Not
if it continues this way. Not if it fails to
decentralise. Some people use the word restructure,
some people use the word…whatever. Not if it fails
to decentralise.
“If Nigeria fails to decentralise and I mean,
decentralise as fast as possible, manifestly not
rhetoric, then Nigeria cannot stay together.
“Again this is not Wole Soyinka saying this.
Generals have said it. Everybody has said; ex-heads
of state have said it; analysts have said;
economists have said it and that’s what is
happening to the people on the streets; that’s why
they’re moving; that’s why they’re demonstrating;
that’s why they’re defying even threats from the
police; from the government ‘if you demonstrate,
you’re traitors, we’ll deal with you…we’ll speak to
you in language which you’ll understand’.
“It doesn’t work with anybody any longer. Because
the nation is on a suicide slide and the people feel
that they do not deserve that kind of suicidal plunge
and they have the right to say ‘sorry o, I’m getting
out of this

1948 UN convention says genocide is ‘act
committed with intent to destroy in whole or in
part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group’;
many massacres still not recognized.
PARIS — Germany recognized for the first time
Friday that it committed genocide during its
colonial occupation of Namibia more than a
century ago.
Derived from the Greek “genos” (people) and
Latin “cide” (to kill), genocide is defined under a
1948 UN convention as an “act committed with
intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national,
ethnic, racial or religious group.”
The Namibian massacres have been called the
first genocide of the 20th century by historians. It
was the first of many, some of which are still
struggling for recognition. Here is an overview:

The Holocaust
The term genocide was used for the first time
within a legal framework by the victorious Allies
in 1945 to try Germany’s Nazi leaders at
Nuremburg for the murder of six million Jews
during World War II.
The accused were eventually convicted of crimes
against humanity.
It paved the way for the UN’s 1948 Genocide
Convention which for the first time codified the
crime of genocide.
The attempted extermination of Europe’s Jews by
Nazis began after the invasion of Poland in 1939
and was carried out on an industrial scale in its
death camps.
More than a third of the world’s Jewish
population died in what the Nazis called their
“Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”
As well as gas chambers, many were worked or
starved to death and mobile mobile death squads
called Einsatzgruppen mowed down one million
people in what is known as the “Holocaust by
bullets.” Some half a million people from ethnic groups
variously known as Roma, Sinti or gypsies were
also murdered, as the Nazis considered them, like
the Jews, to be “subhuman.”

Namibia
Germany ruled what was then called German
South West Africa as a colony from 1884 to 1915.
Colonial troops and settlers in 1904-1908 killed
tens of thousands of indigenous Herero and
Nama people.
Hundreds of Herero and Nama were beheaded
after their deaths and their skulls were handed to
German researchers in Berlin for since
discredited “scientific” experiments to prove the
racial superiority of whites over blacks.
Friday’s announcement comes after more than
five years of negotiations between Germany and
Namibia, with Berlin also pledging financial
support worth more than one billion euros for
projects.

Armenians
Armenia says Ottoman forces massacred up to
1.5 million Armenians during World War I
between 1915 and 1917.
Last month US President Joe Biden recognized the
killings as genocide in a watershed for
descendants of those who died.
Starting with Uruguay in 1965, nations including
France, Germany, Canada and Russia have
previously recognized the genocide.
But a clear US statement had proved elusive
under previous presidents worried about
damaging relations with Washington’s key NATO
ally Turkey.
The charge is vehemently rejected by Turkey —
inheritor of the trunk of the empire — which
admits nonetheless that vast numbers of
Armenians perished as the Ottomans battled
tsarist Russia.
But it claims as many Turks died and denies the
existence of a deliberate policy of genocide.

Rwanda
The Rwandan genocide began in April 1994
shortly after the ethnic Hutu president was killed
when his plane was shot down.
For 100 days militias and soldiers from the Hutu
majority butchered men, women and children
from the Tutsi minority.
The killing ended only when the Tutsi-led
Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) took over in July
1994, having defeated the Hutu extremists.
At least 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis and some
moderate Hutus, were killed, according to the UN.
The UN set up the International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda which issued the world’s
first genocide conviction in 1998.
The court tried several dozen people before it
wrapped up its work in 2015.
Trials of Rwandan genocide suspects have also
taken place in Belgium, Canada, Finland, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and
Switzerland.

Sudan
The International Criminal Court in 2010 added
three genocide counts to charges against Sudan’s
then president Omar al-Bashir over fighting that
erupted in Darfur in 2003 and which the UN
estimates has left 300,000 dead.
Bashir has repeatedly denied the charges. He was
the first sitting president of a country to be
wanted by the ICC, and the first person to be
charged with genocide.

Rohingya
Another 21st century crime is the massacres of
the Muslim Rohingya people who are widely seen
as illegal immigrants in Myanmar, denied
citizenship and stripped of rights.
Myanmar is facing a barrage of legal challenges
to hold it accountable over the alleged genocide
against its Rohingya population in 2017.
This includes a case launched by Gambia at the
International Court of Justice, the UN’s top court
in The Hague. The ICC also approved an
investigation into the military crackdown that
forced some 740,000 Rohingya to flee.
UN investigators in 2018 branded the bloody
expulsion a genocide, and called for the
prosecution of Myanmar’s top generals.

Disgraced financier admitted to swindling
thousands of clients over decades, wiping out
their fortunes and ruining charities and
foundations, many of them in the Jewish world.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bernie Madoff, the financier
who pleaded guilty to orchestrating a massive
Ponzi scheme, died in a federal prison early
Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter
told The Associated Press.
Madoff died at the Federal Medical Center in
Butner, North Carolina, apparently from natural
causes, the person said. The person was not
authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP
on the condition of anonymity.
Last year, Madoff’s lawyers filed court papers to
try to get the 82-year-old released from prison in
the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he had suffered
from end-stage renal disease and other chronic
medical conditions. The request was denied.
Madoff admitted swindling thousands of clients
out of billions of dollars in investments over
decades.
A court-appointed trustee has recovered more
than $13 billion of an estimated $17.5 billion that
investors put into Madoff’s business. At the time
of Madoff’s arrest, fake account statements were
telling clients they had holdings worth $60
billion.
For decades, Madoff enjoyed an image as a self-
made financial guru whose Midas touch defied
market fluctuations. A former chairman of the
Nasdaq stock market, he attracted a devoted
legion of investment clients — from Florida
retirees to celebrities such as famed film director
Steven Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon, and Hall of
Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.
But his investment advisory business was
exposed in 2008 as a multibillion-dollar Ponzi
scheme that wiped out people’s fortunes and
ruined charities and foundations. He became so
hated he had to wear a bulletproof vest to court.
Madoff pleaded guilty in March 2009 to securities
fraud and other charges, saying he was “deeply
sorry and ashamed.”
After several months living under house arrest at
his $7 million Manhattan penthouse apartment,
he was led off to jail in handcuffs to scattered
applause from angry investors in the courtroom.
“He stole from the rich. He stole from the poor.
He stole from the in-between. He had no values,”
former investor Tom Fitzmaurice told the judge
at the sentencing. “He cheated his victims out of
their money so he and his wife … could live a life
of luxury beyond belief.”
US District Judge Denny Chin showed no mercy,
sentencing Madoff to the maximum 150 years in
prison.
“Here, the message must be sent that Mr.
Madoff’s crimes were extraordinarily evil and
that this kind of irresponsible manipulation of
the system is not merely a bloodless financial
crime that takes place just on paper, but it is
instead… one that takes a staggering human toll,”
Chin said.
The Madoffs also took a severe financial hit: A
judge issued a $171 billion forfeiture order in
June 2009 stripping Madoff of all his personal
property, including real estate, investments, and
$80 million in assets his wife, Ruth, had claimed
were hers. The order left her with $2.5 million.

The scandal also exacted a personal toll on the
family: One of his sons, Mark, killed himself on
the second anniversary of his father’s arrest in
2010. And Madoff’s brother, Peter, who helped
run the business, was sentenced to 10 years in
prison in 2012, despite claims he was in the dark
about his brother’s misdeeds.
Madoff’s other son, Andrew, died from cancer at
age 48. Ruth is still living.
Madoff was sent to do what amounted to a life
sentence at Butner Federal Correctional Complex,
about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh, North
Carolina. A federal prison website listed his
probable release date as November 11, 2139.
Madoff was born in 1938 in a lower-middle-class
Jewish neighborhood in Queens. In the financial
world, the story of his rise to prominence — how
he left for Wall Street with Peter in 1960 with a
few thousand dollars saved from working as a
lifeguard and installing sprinklers — became
legend.
“They were two struggling kids from Queens.
They worked hard,” said Thomas Morling, who
worked closely with the Madoff brothers in the
mid-1980s setting up and running computers that
made their firm a trusted leader in off-floor
trading.
“When Peter or Bernie said something that they
were going to do, their word was their bond,”
Morling said in a 2008 interview.
In the 1980s, Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities occupied three floors of a midtown
Manhattan high-rise. There, with his brother and
later two sons, he ran a legitimate business as
middlemen between the buyers and sellers of
stock.
Madoff raised his profile by using the expertise to
help launch Nasdaq, the first electronic stock
exchange, and became so respected that he
advised the Securities and Exchange Commission
on the system. But what the SEC never found out
was that behind the scenes, in a separate office
kept under lock and key, Madoff was secretly
spinning a web of phantom wealth by using cash
from new investors to pay returns to old ones.
Authorities say that over the years, at least $13
billion was invested with Madoff. An old IBM
computer cranked out monthly statements
showing steady double-digit returns, even during
market downturns. As of late 2008, the
statements claimed investor accounts totaled $65
billion.
The ugly truth: No securities were ever bought or
sold. Madoff’s chief financial officer, Frank
DiPascali, said in a guilty plea in 2009 that the
statements detailing trades were “all fake.”
His clients, many Jews like Madoff and Jewish
charities, said they didn’t know. Among them
was Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust
survivor Elie Wiesel, who recalled meeting
Madoff years earlier at a dinner where they
talked about history, education, and Jewish
philosophy — not money.
Madoff “made a very good impression,” Wiesel
said during a 2009 panel discussion on the
scandal. Wiesel admitted that he bought into “a
myth that he created around him that everything
was so special, so unique, that it had to be
secret.”
Like many of his clients, Madoff and his wife
enjoyed a lavish lifestyle. They had a $7 million
Manhattan apartment, an $11 million estate in
Palm Beach, Florida, and a $4 million home on
the tip of Long Island. There was yet another
home in the south of France, private jets and a
yacht.
It all came crashing down in the winter of 2008
with a dramatic confession at Madoff’s 12th-floor
apartment on the Upper East Side. In a meeting
with his sons, he confided that his business was
“all just one big lie.”
After the meeting, a lawyer for the family
contacted regulators, who alerted the federal
prosecutors and the FBI. Madoff was in a
bathrobe when two FBI agents arrived at his
door unannounced on a December morning. He
invited them in, then confessed after being asked
“if there’s an innocent explanation,” a criminal
complaint said.
Madoff responded: “There is no innocent
explanation.”
As he had from the start, Madoff insisted in his
plea that he acted alone — something the FBI
never believed. As agents scoured records for
evidence of a broader conspiracy and cultivated
DiPascali as a cooperator, the scandal turned
Madoff into a pariah, evaporated life fortunes,
wiped out charities, and apparently pushed some
investors to commit suicide.
A trustee was appointed to recover funds —
sometimes by suing hedge funds and other large
investors who came out ahead — and divvying
up those proceeds to victims. The search for
Madoff’s assets “has unearthed a labyrinth of
interrelated international funds, institutions, and
entities of almost unparalleled complexity and
breadth,” the trustee, Irving Picard, said in a
2009 report.
The report said the trustee has located assets and
businesses “of interest” in 11 places: Great
Britain, Ireland, France, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Spain, Gibraltar, Bermuda, the
British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the
Bahamas. More than 15,400 claims against
Madoff were filed.

told The Associated Press.
Madoff died at the Federal Medical Center in
Butner, North Carolina, apparently from natural
causes, the person said. The person was not
authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP
on the condition of anonymity.
Last year, Madoff’s lawyers filed court papers to
try to get the 82-year-old released from prison in
the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he had suffered
from end-stage renal disease and other chronic
medical conditions. The request was denied.
Madoff admitted swindling thousands of clients
out of billions of dollars in investments over
decades.
A court-appointed trustee has recovered more
than $13 billion of an estimated $17.5 billion that
investors put into Madoff’s business. At the time
of Madoff’s arrest, fake account statements were
telling clients they had holdings worth $60
billion.
For decades, Madoff enjoyed an image as a self-
made financial guru whose Midas touch defied
market fluctuations. A former chairman of the
Nasdaq stock market, he attracted a devoted
legion of investment clients — from Florida
retirees to celebrities such as famed film director
Steven Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon, and Hall of
Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.
But his investment advisory business was
exposed in 2008 as a multibillion-dollar Ponzi
scheme that wiped out people’s fortunes and
ruined charities and foundations. He became so
hated he had to wear a bulletproof vest to court.
Madoff pleaded guilty in March 2009 to securities
fraud and other charges, saying he was “deeply
sorry and ashamed.”
After several months living under house arrest at
his $7 million Manhattan penthouse apartment,
he was led off to jail in handcuffs to scattered
applause from angry investors in the courtroom.
“He stole from the rich. He stole from the poor.
He stole from the in-between. He had no values,”
former investor Tom Fitzmaurice told the judge
at the sentencing. “He cheated his victims out of
their money so he and his wife … could live a life
of luxury beyond belief.”
US District Judge Denny Chin showed no mercy,
sentencing Madoff to the maximum 150 years in
prison.
“Here, the message must be sent that Mr.
Madoff’s crimes were extraordinarily evil and
that this kind of irresponsible manipulation of
the system is not merely a bloodless financial
crime that takes place just on paper, but it is
instead… one that takes a staggering human toll,”
Chin said.
The Madoffs also took a severe financial hit: A
judge issued a $171 billion forfeiture order in
June 2009 stripping Madoff of all his personal
property, including real estate, investments, and
$80 million in assets his wife, Ruth, had claimed
were hers. The order left her with $2.5 million.

The scandal also exacted a personal toll on the
family: One of his sons, Mark, killed himself on
the second anniversary of his father’s arrest in
2010. And Madoff’s brother, Peter, who helped
run the business, was sentenced to 10 years in
prison in 2012, despite claims he was in the dark
about his brother’s misdeeds.
Madoff’s other son, Andrew, died from cancer at
age 48. Ruth is still living.
Madoff was sent to do what amounted to a life
sentence at Butner Federal Correctional Complex,
about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh, North
Carolina. A federal prison website listed his
probable release date as November 11, 2139.
Madoff was born in 1938 in a lower-middle-class
Jewish neighborhood in Queens. In the financial
world, the story of his rise to prominence — how
he left for Wall Street with Peter in 1960 with a
few thousand dollars saved from working as a
lifeguard and installing sprinklers — became
legend.
“They were two struggling kids from Queens.
They worked hard,” said Thomas Morling, who
worked closely with the Madoff brothers in the
mid-1980s setting up and running computers that
made their firm a trusted leader in off-floor
trading.
“When Peter or Bernie said something that they
were going to do, their word was their bond,”
Morling said in a 2008 interview.
In the 1980s, Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities occupied three floors of a midtown
Manhattan high-rise. There, with his brother and
later two sons, he ran a legitimate business as
middlemen between the buyers and sellers of
stock.
Madoff raised his profile by using the expertise to
help launch Nasdaq, the first electronic stock
exchange, and became so respected that he
advised the Securities and Exchange Commission
on the system. But what the SEC never found out
was that behind the scenes, in a separate office
kept under lock and key, Madoff was secretly
spinning a web of phantom wealth by using cash
from new investors to pay returns to old ones.
Authorities say that over the years, at least $13
billion was invested with Madoff. An old IBM
computer cranked out monthly statements
showing steady double-digit returns, even during
market downturns. As of late 2008, the
statements claimed investor accounts totaled $65
billion.
The ugly truth: No securities were ever bought or
sold. Madoff’s chief financial officer, Frank
DiPascali, said in a guilty plea in 2009 that the
statements detailing trades were “all fake.”
His clients, many Jews like Madoff and Jewish
charities, said they didn’t know. Among them
was Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust
survivor Elie Wiesel, who recalled meeting
Madoff years earlier at a dinner where they
talked about history, education, and Jewish
philosophy — not money.
Madoff “made a very good impression,” Wiesel
said during a 2009 panel discussion on the
scandal. Wiesel admitted that he bought into “a
myth that he created around him that everything
was so special, so unique, that it had to be
secret.”
Like many of his clients, Madoff and his wife
enjoyed a lavish lifestyle. They had a $7 million
Manhattan apartment, an $11 million estate in
Palm Beach, Florida, and a $4 million home on
the tip of Long Island. There was yet another
home in the south of France, private jets and a
yacht.
It all came crashing down in the winter of 2008
with a dramatic confession at Madoff’s 12th-floor
apartment on the Upper East Side. In a meeting
with his sons, he confided that his business was
“all just one big lie.”
After the meeting, a lawyer for the family
contacted regulators, who alerted the federal
prosecutors and the FBI. Madoff was in a
bathrobe when two FBI agents arrived at his
door unannounced on a December morning. He
invited them in, then confessed after being asked
“if there’s an innocent explanation,” a criminal
complaint said.
Madoff responded: “There is no innocent
explanation.”
As he had from the start, Madoff insisted in his
plea that he acted alone — something the FBI
never believed. As agents scoured records for
evidence of a broader conspiracy and cultivated
DiPascali as a cooperator, the scandal turned
Madoff into a pariah, evaporated life fortunes,
wiped out charities, and apparently pushed some
investors to commit suicide.
A trustee was appointed to recover funds —
sometimes by suing hedge funds and other large
investors who came out ahead — and divvying
up those proceeds to victims. The search for
Madoff’s assets “has unearthed a labyrinth of
interrelated international funds, institutions, and
entities of almost unparalleled complexity and
breadth,” the trustee, Irving Picard, said in a
2009 report.
The report said the trustee has located assets and
businesses “of interest” in 11 places: Great
Britain, Ireland, France, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Spain, Gibraltar, Bermuda, the
British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the
Bahamas. More than 15,400 claims against
Madoff were filed.

Biafra Nations League, BNL, has asked oil
companies operating in Bakassi Peninsula to start
paying taxes to its (BNL)leadership or face the
impending doom that will befall the region.
The secessionist group said that the oil companies
would be spared if they start paying tax to its
leadership.
Deputy National Leader of BNL, and Head of
Operations BBS Media, Ebuta Akor Takon, in a
statement to DAILY POST, warned that the group
will not take it lightly with any company that failed
to yield to their demand.
The group, which had earlier issued a quit notice to
oil companies in the region, warned of impending
doom that will soon befall companies if they fail to
leave, threatening to “take them unawares and they
will run.”
BNL further threatened to pull down billboards
bearing ‘Republic of Cameroon’ in Cameroon
controlled towns of Bakassi Peninsula.
According to them, this is a way of sanctioning
President Paul Biya for allegedly killing their
supporters in the region.
“We won’t disclose the date. We have kept our
date secret. it will happen like a film trick, we are
only making it known so that when it happens, no
need to say it is unknown gunmen or unknown
group or bandits, it is BNL,” the group boasted.
