ITS TIME TO RISE






Youths are one of the greatest assets that any nation can have and therefore, need to be developed and empowered. According to the National Bureau of Statistics in its 2012 national youth survey report; youths of working age, in the age bracket of 15 to 35 years are nearly 70 million persons in a population of 166 million Nigerians; of these youths 54% are unemployed.

Unemployment has become a major problem in Nigeria and millions of graduates and school leavers are busy roaming the streets in search of elusive jobs.

Without highly educated, financially literate, highly skilled, intellectually brilliant and self-confident youth, a nation is toying with its future, and undermining its existential capacity.

Following the recent UPRISINGs and economic downturn in Nigeria, which has made it quite difficult for most state government to pay salaries and employ labor. It is time for youths to RISE UP and to force their way to relevance.
It is time to take responsibility for the future because the future will not be inherited- it will be earned.

On this blog we march to replace the "Uprisings" with an Up-Rise.

Start here if you want better relationships: do-this-if-you-want-better-relationships Here’s something else I want you to think about when it comes to making the best use of the time that you have. There are 4 rules of time:     Time is perishable - It cannot be saved, only spent. So the only thing you can do with it is spend it differently. Allocate some of that time to your loved ones.     Time is indispensable - Everything you decide to do, even looking out the window or sleeping in a few e...

Financial Success 3

MONEY: WHAT I WISH I KNEW 15 YEARS AGO I've wanted to do this for a while. Following the recent economic upheavals in our nation, many have desperately searched for ways to hammer. Some have been unfortunate victims of get-rich-quick schemes. I wish someone had told me fifteen years ago what I'm going to tell you now about money: 1. Money is seasonal. It comes and goes. This is not my first recession. I've worked for over fifteen years, so I've seen at least two major "recessions" in Nigeria; times when my clients tightened their belts, prices of basic goods & food skyrocketed and my standard of living plummeted. But the interesting thing is this - before the times of lack came, there was a period when money just seemed to flow. New jobs came, new ideas came and with them, a steady stream of income. It is what I did in those times of plenty (whether I invested or not) that determined how much I suffered during the bleak times. Pay attention to yo...
