Understanding the key to entrepreneurship

 The Richest 

Man in China said: 

If you put Bananas and 

Money in front of 

Monkeys, Monkeys will 

choose Bananas 

because monkeys do 

not know that_

 Money 

can buy a lot of 

Bananas

IN REALITY, 

if you offer JOB and 

BUSINESS to people, 

they would choose JOB 

because most people 

do not know that 

BUSINESS can bring 

more MONEY than 

Wages. 

Similarly, 

Robert Kiyosaki, 

author of the best 

selling book "RICH DAD, 

POOR DAD" and also a 

business partner of 

Donald Trump said: 

_"One of the reasons 

poor are poor, is 

because they are NOT 

TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE 

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 

OPPORTUNITIES.

They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR 

WAGES instead of 

MONEY WORKING FOR 

THEM. 

Profit is better than 

Wages, for Wages can 

make you a living but 

Profits can bring you a 

Fortune."

THINK INVESTMENT 

and stop fighting over 

increments of salaries, 

it still won't be enough 

Hear this from a 

Professor to freshmen 

and women during their 

orientation:

 (Actually 

he is an Acting DVC 

Academic at a small/ 

new university in 

Kenya) 

"Academic excellence is 

overrated! 

Being top of your class does not necessarily 

guarantee that you will be at the top of life. 

You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than 

everybody else. 

The best graduating 

Law student does not necessarily become the 

best lawyer. 

The fact is, life requires more than the ability to 

understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. 

School rewards people for their memory. 

Life rewards people for their imagination.

School rewards caution, life rewards daring. 

School hails those who live by the rules.

 Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. 

So do I mean people 

shouldn't study hard in school? 

Oh, no, you 

should.

 But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. 

Don't limit yourself to the classroom. 

Do something practical. 

Take a leadership 

position. 

Start a business and 

fail. 

That's a better 

Entrepreneurship 101. 

Attend seminars. 

Read books outside the scope of your 

course. 

Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards... 

Do something you 

believe in! 

Think less of becoming an excellent student 

but think more of 

becoming an excellent person. 

Don't make the 

classroom to be your world but Make the world your classroom. 

Step forward, try 

politics, try farming, try businesses, try  and extra things . 

."Entrepreneurship is the salt of life" diversify ur income.

Do more off Investment that will yield you good results

Remember to water your seed so it can grow bigger..

Don't eat it when it's small

Don't be comfortable on little things, have big dreams and aim at achieving it

Set goals and work towards surpassing the set goals

Finally: Leave your comfort zone and be hungry for success like a lion

BREAKING: Impeachment looms as Kano Assembly begins probe on Ganduje bribe videos

The Kano House of Assembly has opened probe on the bribe-taking videos of the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, published by DAILY NIGERIAN.

Raising a matter of urgent public importance on Monday, a member representing Warawa Constituency, Labaran Madari, said the assembly should investigate the authenticity of the video and take measures.

Mr Madari said the videos had brought the institution of governance in the state to disrepute, and therefore the need for the legislators to take urgent action.

The matter was seconded by Baffa Dan’Agundi, a member representing Kano Municipal.

Responding, the speaker, Alhassan Rurum, constituted a seven-man committee to investigate the matter and report back to the assembly.

Members of the committee include Baffa Dan’Agundi (Kano Municipal) as chairman; Labaran Madari (Warawa) member; Garba Gafasa (Ajingi), member; and Zubairu Masu, (Sumaila) member.

Others are Ayuba Labaran (Kabo) member; Abubakar Galadima (Bebeji), member; Garba Yau Gwarmai (Kunchi/Tsanyawa), member and; Mujtafa Amin, secretary.

Inside sources confirms that the assembly is planning to serve the governor impeachment notice as soon as the committee submits its report.

“This is a serious matter that should not be swept under the carpet. We did preliminary investigation and found out the videos are genuine. The committee is just mere formality,” said a member who preferred anonymity.

“The governor confessed to some of us that it was real but he is now trying to stop us from exercising our constitutional duty.”

Mr Ganduje has appeared in a trove of video clips receiving bribe, amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.

Multiple contractors who spoke with DAILY NIGERIAN on the condition of anonymity said the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.

The sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two years ago when one of the contractors agreed with DAILY NIGERIAN request to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.

During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face. About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor during the sting operation.

One of the contractors who preferred not to be named said the reason he collaborated with DAILY NIGERIAN was to expose corruption and bring sanity to the country.

INEC bars Buhari, Atiku, others from campaigning till Nov. 18

By: Our Reporter
October 9, 2018


There should be no public campaigning by presidential candidates until November 18, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said yesterday.

This is in line with the timelines given by the agency and the provisions of the Electoral Act, INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said.

He advised parties and their candidates to adhere to the electoral timetable during a workshop for election professionals from the Commonwealth Africa Region.

Yakubu reminded political parties and candidates that the end of primaries did not mean the immediate commencement of campaigns.

“Section 99(1) prohibits campaigns by political parties earlier than 90 days before polling day.

“Therefore, going by the provisions of the Electoral Act and the Timetable and Schedule of Activities issued by the Commission, campaign for Presidential and National Assembly elections will commence on Nov. 18.


“Campaign for Governorship and State Assembly elections begins on Dec. 1.

“I call upon political parties and candidates to strictly adhere to these dates,’’ he said.

Yakubu said that with the conclusion of primaries by political parties yesterday, the next activity was the nomination of candidates to the commission.

He reminded political parties that the dates for the submission of lists of candidates (Form CFOO2) and their personal particulars (Forms C1001) for presidential and National Assembly elections are from Oct 10 to Oct.18.

The date for the governorship and State Assembly elections is Oct. 22 and Nov. 2.

“The commission will receive the submission from political parties at Aso Hall of the International Conference Centre, Abuja, from 9.a.m to 4.p.m. daily.

“Although we have communicated these dates to all political parties, let me reiterate that there will be no extension of time.

“Similarly, in making submissions to the commission, the covering letters as well as the list of candidates must be duly signed by the National Chairmen and National Secretaries of political patties in line with the commission’s guidelines.’’

Yakubu described the workshop and its theme, “Strengthening Electoral Democracy in the Commonwealth African Region” as topical and relevant.

He said that all the countries of the Commonwealth, Africa region, needed to further consolidate on election process so that elections were not merely periodic but also peaceful and credible.

“Bringing election managers together to share experiences and build capacities is a critical step to the consolidation of electoral democracy,” Yakubu said.

Yakubu said that participants would be taken through five interrelated sub-themes, ranging from the promotion of sustainable electoral democracy, strategic planning, gender and elections, electoral technology to elections and new media.

FG MUST CANCEL POLICE RECRUITMENT TEST AND FIX A NEW ONE WITHIN 72 HOURS- CAN...

The federal government has been chided by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for allegedly making Arabic language compulsory in the aptitude test conducted last week for all applicants shortlisted for recruitment into Nigeria Police Force, Vanguard reports.
The organization made its position on the matter public, in a statement released by its national president, Rev Samson Ayokunle, on Thursday May 31,2018.
NAIJ.com notes that CAN called for the cancellation of the aptitude test which was organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), in 156 centres nationwide.
According to the association, it is a violation of the Constitution and the secular nature of the country, to mandate both Christians and Muslims to answer questions in Arabic language.
It stated: “The just concluded Nigeria Police entrance examination using JAMB Computer based test (CBT) where Arabic language (the official Islamic language) was made compulsory for Muslims and Christians alike is another dirty slap on the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
“To many Christian youths who sat for that examination, the display of the Arabic language questions came as a rude shock. Many could not recover from the setback until JAMB logged them out of the CBT platform; obviously achieving the aim of the Islamic extremists who are hell bent on fostering their religion and culture on the Nigeria Police Force.
“While it is true that in some Police examination centers, some officiating officers advised the candidates to ignore the Arabic language questions; but that again ran contrary to the examination instructions wherein a candidate was required to answer 180 questions viz-
1. Use of English 60,
2. Arabic language 40,
3. Fine Arts 40, and
4. Agriculture 40
hence summing up the 180 questions each
candidate is required to answer.
“This deliberate attempt to undermine Christians in Nigeria leaves so many questions as to the unity of the nation. The most appropriate action is to cancel the exams and conduct a fresh one devoid of controversies.
“It will be wrong for the president of Nigeria (who swore to defend both the Christians and Muslims alike) to turn around to allow his appointees seek to divide the nation through their actions.
“If the president can allow this affront now and he is still seeking the vote of Christians for a second term we do not trust he will keep us alive if he ascends that throne for another four years.
“CAN demands evidence of cancellation of the examination and fixing of date for a retake within 72 hours of this notice. Else, the Christian community in Nigeria will have no choice than embark on other measures to seek redress of this national insult.
“We also demand evidence of the withdrawal of Arabic language as a compulsory elective for management science studies in tertiary institutions from National Universities Commission, NUC.”
I STAND WITH CAN ON THIS....
