I have been thinking seriously about having a second wife especially after God has blessed me with a successful marriage. I remember the words of a lady friend that dispel my cold feet towards my wedding; “A good wife is a life time asset”. Well, she was a trained accountant, so using such parlance to […]
Shock actually begets me when I reviewed the data from a Microfinance research on business outfits with the highest weekly turnover in my area (which I can regard as a suburb). I could see the relevant of this type of research to a Microfinance bank whose sole interest is in preventing bad loans but for […]
Ok, I decided to take a one-week break from all my business activities only to resume today to a hacked site. Wow! Humans can decide to be frigging wicked whenever they have the power to. Well, no need to dwell on the negative; I would just have to rebuild my site again. My week off […]
Three years! Wow, I cannot really believe it: This site has existed for three years and today marks the beginning of the journey of bringing educative, informative and thought-provoking contents to you. I am really not sure of how to contain the emotions I feel but looking back at the decision to float this site, […]
Do you rather I tell you some home truth or sugar-coat the realities on ground? I think I would choose the former; if you are reading this article, you have a maximum of a 100 years to live (well, I still have to sugarcoat it). Look at where you are today; do you think you […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bagging an MBA is one of the greatest investment moves for an executive; the executive is actually taking a step to corporate emancipation and mobility. An MBA actually certifies your ability to effectively manage your company’s resources and take your company to greater heights. This is why MBAs are earnestly sought after in most companies […]
Before the Second World War, the French sensed an attack from the Germans after their huge loss in the First War, so they constructed the Maginot line – a series of expensive super-forts along their eastern border with Germany. They reckoned the forts were so strong that they would prevent any future German army from […]
Bernie Madoff has pled guilty last week to the 11 count charges of fraud that was levied against him. For those who have been following the story in the media, this has been regarded as the largest fraud ever committed by a single person; about 65 billion USD of investors’ funds gone. You could literarily see […]
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 […]
