LandLords Forever?

Seriously, whenever I see a landlord, I see a smart investor especially in a country like Nigeria where there is neither price regulation nor downward review of commodities. Landlords have covered all the aces of investment – capital gain and leasing. Think of it, every investment follows these two patterns of investment. Where do I […]

IRAQI Dinar

Obama’s 100 days in office was quite instructive to me on a personal level; the freedom of the campaign trail contrasts sharply with the constraints of reality. When all have been argued, the bottom line is that there has really been no policy change from the Bush administration. However, there has been shift in global […]

A New EYE

The MBA seminar got me more tired than I projected with questions flying from various quarters: I suddenly realized that everyone desires to increase their productivity but almost everyone goes through it the wrong way. Is it an expansion in business? Is it a promotion at the workplace? Do you want to improve your work […]

Rising DOLLAR…

The US dollar is rising against the naira at an alarming rate; at the moment, the black market rate is about 188 naira to a dollar. This is getting a bit worrisome for an importer like me who depends on buying dollars to make procurements, ship and also clear consignments. Would this trend ever reverse […]

Dollar Rain in VIETNAM

There is United State Dollars literarily falling in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City (the commercial point of Vietnam) and only those that can SEE will grab it with both hands. Whenever I recognize that someone is financially wealthier than I am, I know that there is something this person knows that I don’t. […]
