It's now Buhari's fault that corrupt civil servants in the oil servants hurriedly went on strike because they fear the effects of the unbundling policy on their thievery.

Meanwhile, this Ben Murray Bruce has totally lost my respect. I mean, totally.

I've been wondering where the buhari e-warriors where or whether they they were still held up at the petrol station. I'm glad they finally got fuel to charge their phone. now let the war begin.

Mrjo:
*knoucks* madam give me galic.

hahahahahahaha ha ahhahahahaha

lol. that's how it is

how come the buhari e-warriors are quiet all of a sudden? oh i remember, they are still at the fuel station.

nansense! it's all GEJ's fault

Epatty:
My parents have always wanted us to marry our tribe and not like we are in our state that I can say to get them will be possible. I have met with several men but didn't go into a relationship with them because they are not my tribe. The ones that are my tribe are so annoying and wayward. Now, there is this guy I have known for 4yrs as a friend, he have been so good to me but a barber and also in his final year, he is my tribe but I have not paid attention to him all this while upon he loves me. Am now in love with him but he's a barber and am scared if loving him and going into a relationship with him is a nice idea or should I still wait a little more?

i have a babrber friend. he is good at what he does. he charges 300 per haircut. i can bet on my life he makes not less than 15k everyday considering the crowd always waiting patiently for their turn. that's about 450k in a month. u forgot to add he is the personal barber to the state governors sons and many prominent men.

now tell me how many civil servants or profesionals that rakes in much money?

Do you aspire to become an
entrepreneur; a business owner?
May be you are consistently in a
brainstorming session to discover
that proverbial great idea that will
take the world by surprise before
you launch your business.

Like gold, great idea is precious and
not readily available. The skill
required for Gold prospecting (the
act of searching for new gold
deposit) is active and not passive. A
lot of research, speculation and
technology (metal detector etc) goes
into the process. Yet most aspiring
entrepreneurs expect to discover
gold passively without first of all
going for the search.

It is common conception that you
need a great idea to start a business
that will become successful,
especially in the 21 century – the
information age. The belief holds
that those who launch highly
successful businesses usually begin
first and foremost with a brilliant
idea (technology, product, market
potential) and then ride the growth
curve of an attractive product life
circle.
Aspiring entrepreneurs rely on this
belief to idly await that moment of
epiphany when the light bulb turns
on, and the proverbial great idea
pops up, before they take the step
to get started. As compelling as it is,
this belief does not reflect in most
successful companies; and if relied
upon, often result in
procrastination, self limitation and
latency.
Procter and Gamble started as a
simple soap and candle maker,
Motorola started as a struggling road
side battery eliminator repair
business. Great idea is like gold; to
discover it you must get out there
and start digging.

Below are examples of
entrepreneurs and companies that
bent the concept of ‘Great idea’
being the essential tool to start a
successful business.
Note that this article is not meant to
dispute the importance of having a
good idea and a plan before starting
a business. The point here is that it
doesn’t have to be a reason for
inaction. As an aspiring
entrepreneur, you have to remove
every negative orientation and
ideology that is holding back from
taking action.





1. Bill Hewlett and Dave
Packard – HP
On August 23, 1937, two graduate
engineers in their early twenties
with no substantial business
experience met to discuss the
founding of a new company. They
had no clear idea what the company
would make. They only knew that
they wanted to start a company in a
broadly defined field of electronic
engineering .
They brainstormed a wide range of
initial products and market
possibilities, but had no compelling
‘Great idea’ that served as the
founding inspiration for the
fledgling company.
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard
decided to first start a company and
then figure out what they would
make. They started trying anything
that might get them out of the
garage and pay the light bills.
According to Bill Hewlett:
When I talk to business
schools occasionally,
the professor of
management is
devastated when I say
that we didn’t have any
plan when we started –
we were just
opportunistic. We did
anything that would
bring in a nickel…
The company struggled and
stumbled along for nearly a year
before it got its first big sale – 8
audio oscilloscopes. It was until
early 1940s Hewlett and Packard –
HP – got a boost from war contracts.





2. Masaru Ibuka – Sony
When Masaru Ibuka founded Sony
in August 1945, he had no specific
product idea. In fact, Ibuka and his
seven initial employees had a
brainstorming session – after
starting the company – to decide
what product to make. For weeks
they tried to figure out what kind of
business this new company could
enter to make money to operate.
They considered a wide range of
possibilities, from sweetening bean-
paste soup to miniature golf
equipment. Sony’s first product
attempt (a simple rice cooker) failed
to work properly and its first
significant product (a tape recorder)
failed in the marketplace.
The company kept itself alive in the
early days by stitching wires on
cloth to make crude but sellable
heating pads. With the Sony Pioneer
Spirit, Sony had grown to become a
global leader and manufacturer of
electronic products.





3. Sam Walton – Wal-Mart
Sam Walton also started without a
great idea. He went into business
with nothing other than the desire
to work for himself and a little bit
knowledge and a lot of passion
about retailing. He didn’t wake up
one day and say, “I have this great
idea around which I’m going to
start a company.”
He started in 1945 with a single Ben
Franklin franchise five-and-dime
store. Walton built incrementally,
step by step, from that single store
until the ‘great idea’ of rural
discount popped out as a natural
evolutionary step almost two
decades after he started his
company.
In his words:
“ Somehow over the
years folks have gotten
the impression that
Wal-Mart was
something that I
dreamed up out of the
blue as a middle aged
man, and that it was
just this great idea that
turned into an over-
night success. But our
first Wal-mart store
was totally an
outgrowth of everything
we’d been doing since
1945 – another
experiment. And like
most over-night
successes, it was about
20 years in the
making .”





4. Igvar Kamprad – IKEA
Ingvar Kamprad started buying and
selling matches and pencils at an
early age. At age 17, with a cash
reward from his father, for doing
well in school, he founded IKEA. He
continued to expand his business to
a variety of goods, including wallets,
watches, jewelery and stockings. In
1947, Kamprad introduced furniture
into the IKEA product line. He later
focused his business on furniture
making.
One day one of his employees, Gillis
Lundgren was having difficulty
fitting a table for transport. After
several unsuccessful trials, out of
frustration he shouted: “Oh God!
Let’s pull off the legs and put them
underneath!” That incident gave
Kamprad the ‘great idea’ that
birthed to a low cost product line…
furniture designed to be sold
unassembled. This established IKEA
as a cost leader in furniture
business worldwide for its
innovative and stylish designs..






5. Mrs Ogunwale – Baker
Bitters
The list will not be complete
without an example from home.
Mrs. Ogunwale, maker of Baker
Water and Baker Bitters told her
story, on how she discovered a
business opportunity and quickly
shifted focus from her initial
passion-oriented business. Mrs.
Ogunwale was passionate about
catering. She won a deep freezer
after a vocational training program,
and started her catering business,
somewhere close to Lagos toll-gate.
She also sells cold ‘sachet-water’
with her freezer.
One hot afternoon, a young boy, one
of the hawkers along the
expressway, approached her to help
him freeze his bag of sachet water,
which has gone hot from the
scotching sun. She reluctantly
agreed on the terms that he’ll pay
ten naira for the bag. By the end of
the day, she made sixty naira doing
business with the little boy – more
than what she makes from her
catering business. She went from
selling single sachet to selling
chilled bags of sachet water with
extra profit.
More and more customers
patronised her new business until
she had more customers than she
could handle. She quickly
abandoned catering to focus on
sachet water business. She bought
new freezers (up to 7) and rented a
bigger space. Much later, she went
ahead to start her own sachet water
company. Today her company
produces bottle water, Baker bitters
and other products.
Several such examples abound
locally and internationally of
businesses that started with no clear
idea of what product or service the
company will offer. They had the
passion to do business, even when
they were not sure what business
that would be.
Some even began with outright
failure. But the important thing is
that they got started, and took
advantage of the opportunities that
crossed their path.
These businesses and several others
like them demystifies the widely
help myth of a far-seeing
entrepreneur who envisions a great
idea and founds his company to
capitalize on a visionary product
idea or market insight.
Lesson for aspiring entrepreneurs:
If you desire to start and build a
business but have not yet taken the
dive because you don’t have a ‘great
idea’, be encouraged to lift from
your shoulders the burden of the
great-idea myth.
Don’t wait for the perfect time. Most
often, the great idea will only pop
out when you are in the journey,
tinkering and stumbling along in
the field. Take that first step, get
started and learn what you need on
the ‘go’.

surprised she didn't use the 'i lost a game with him and the penalty is uploading his pix or writing stuffs about him ' format.

babes and even guys been using this format since nineteen kpiligidi.

mankind so unkind

my guy no time for all that. I'm crazy about making more money and living a decent Christian life. its has been proven since 13BC that girls are crazy about rich born again guys.

the president's statement is uncalled for because it will be foolish of him to expect 100% loyalty from everybody. even Jesus had a traitor amongst his disciples.

he should shut up and get working.... no time

it's all GEJ's fault.

I'm beginning to wonder if our power sector has any mekwatalism. i don't ask me what is mekwatalism

"41, And Jesus sat over against the treasury,
and beheld how the people cast money into
the treasury: and many that were rich cast
in much. 42, And there came a certain poor
widow, and she threw in two mites, which
make a farthing. 43, And he called unto him
his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I
say unto you, That this poor widow hath
cast more in, than all they which have cast
into the treasury: 44, For all they did cast in
of their abundance; but she of her want did
cast in all that she had, even all her living". (mark 12:41-44)

this shouldn't be a topic for debates. it is not about how much you give but the heart with which you give. You can give millions just to show off like the Pharisees, or give just a penny like the poor widow but with a pure heart. most importantly, the prayers and offerings of a sinner is an abomination before God. so are you even qualified to give?

bros what happened to the 200k your uncle gave you on the 2nd of this month na?

....and the lunatics have gone international.

Temysteve:
And u all got it wrong man! Don't generalize this kind of issue, the content of ur upbringing does'nt mean u shld turn urself to a knob, their ar so many ladies out their who came up 4rm d ghetto nd still manage to live a holistic life...

quote me correctly man. i said beauty without brains. i never mentioned village or ghetto. and by brains i mean you mustn't be educated to have one

one thing is certain though: when a girl, lady, woman has beauty without brains, the private part always suffer the most. *yawns....shuts down system and goes for a lunch break *

Terry Crews, known for his funny roles in movies
like “White Chicks” and hit comedy show
“Everybody Hates Chris” has come out about his
lifelong addiction to pornography. Crews, who
continued his NFL turned acting career by
landing a role as the Old Spice guy, took to
Facebook in a series of videos to discuss how
this “dirty little secret” took over his life and even
led him to check into rehab. He said the
addiction comprised his relationship with his
wife with whom he shares five children with. “It
changes the way you think about people, people
become objects people become body parts,” he
said in the first of a few videos. He said his
addiction of porn was because of anxiety,
loneliness and depression. He advises women to
not let men in their life consume porn and in
another video suggested that porn be eliminated.
It’s been six or seven years since he’s been over
the addiction, according to Crews. His video got
thousands of views on Facebook and sweeping
support. Crews, now 47, is over the addiction
which he started getting into at age 12. The
videos go into full detail of his addiction and
how it affected him and his life.
