Business Capital versus Business Plans.

Someone once said, "blacks are Blacks' problem". I disagreed and he explained how an uncle gave him a shirt and shoe worth $4500 when he had earlier requested capital for his business from the same uncle but explained a lack of funds. I smiled and said, your uncle is not your problem, Africans' definition of "capital" is the problem. When we hear the word 'capital' what comes to mind is huge sum. He looked at me and nodded affirmatively. His uncle said he didn't have "that kind of money". I know many people have received that kind of disappointing response from people. The question is what is "that kind of money" called "capital"? Start small, grow big. Many young entrepreneurs prepare business plans with a huge capital base because they want to hit the ground running (start big). I'd rather say, break your business plans into small phases and milestones. For instance, I had a 100 million studio idea, but I broke

I follow back

Each time I see that statement on twitter I ask, why not follow first. I discover it has become a norm for most Nigerians do not want to dare to be the first; first to take an action. Instead, they wait on others to take the first step for them to "follow back". This same mentality has been brought into social media. Observing events during the Biafra agitation and the Revolution Now campaign, I see many Nigerians yearn for leadership and direction. They waited in silence for years for the person to take the lead towards their agitation before coming out en-masse. But why do they die in silence and not take the lead? Fear? In classrooms, you will see children being afraid to say their minds even when they have an answer in mind. The assumption "what if I'm wrong," creates a fear that kills their confidence. What if you're wrong? There is no crime in being wrong, in fact, you learn from being corrected of a wrong. Grow your confidence by learning to take on i

Back up in case of a break up?

Do you know that your backup plan can lead to the break up of your existing relationship? (Especially in open relationships.) Marriage counselors will always advise building a relationship on 'trust' because many relationships break because of distrust chiefly caused by infidelity and insincerity. Does a backup plan amount to infidelity? Infidelity can be broadly defined as the breaking of a promise in a romantic relationship, whether such promise was a part of a marriage vow, a privately uttered agreement between the lovers, or an unspoken assumption. With this definition, it is quite clear that keeping a secret 'back up' relationship amounts to infidelity in a committed relationship. Heartbreak is a bitter experience many persons don't want to experience, hence their reasons for a backup plan. However, wouldn't it be foolish if you are the architect of your own heartbreak by keeping 'secret relationships' that eventually break your relations
