You can make the money and won't be fulfilled or you can get fulfilled and still not make the money. The question is how then do I still make the money and get fulfillment in what I do?  That's a huge question you need to ask yourself and allow yourself to follow that process of answering it by finding purpose as an entrepreneur .\n.\nData is the sole purpose of business failures and successes either in Africa or the international world. .\n.\nWe cant be fooled by the mirage following the successful exhibition on social media and still leave the context of failures and tenacity and resilience and persistence that revolve the survival of business without wondering \"HOW\", \"WHY\" and the \"POSSIBILITIES\" without an explicit study therein, which is why \"Business or Market research \" can't be left outside the door of business survival. .\n.\nWe have a successful track in doing a qualitative and quantitative study for your business or company or idea to make a remarkable and realistic dream come through.

We see women who seeks for knowledge more knowledge as to why why they can't be equal to men anyway FEMINISM comes in, however in its own context without disrespecting or disregarding what the scriptures either the Bible or the Quran or what other believers use too. .\n.\nRespectfully, I think there should be equal grounds for both to strive without being marginalized or make to feel less important or better. .\n.\nNo matter how educated you are you are not too big to support your wife! Even the richest men or women on earth eat 3times a day for some anyway; while some maybe twice and they also sleep at one side of their mighty bed! So never fool yourself of being better. .\n.\nI have never seen or heard my Dad ever raise or raised his hands on my mom, guess if he did \"He would've seen that there are men in men\" lol.  It's laughable but the truth is it's only \"fools that beat women\" no matter what she did just walk away. .\n.\nTo you women or woman respect your self and respect your man and remember being submissive isn't \"slavery\" or \"stupidity\"....\n.\n.\n- Osondu C.

I didn’t think it was my fault but criticize others.\n\nMy father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life.\n\nOne day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles put the 2 bowls on the table. One bowl has one egg on top and the other bowl does not have any egg on top. He said ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want”. Eggs were hard to come by those days! Only get to eat eggs during festivals or New Year. Of Cos I chose the bowl with egg! As we started eating. I was congratulating myself on my wise choice/decision and wallop up the egg. Then to my surprise as my father ate his noodles, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodes! I regretted so much! And scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision. My father smiled and said to me, ”My child. You must remember what your eyes see may not be true. If u intent on taking advantage of people, u will end up losing!”\n\nThe next day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles: one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top. Again, he put the two bowls on the table and said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?” This time I am smarter. I chose the bowl without any egg on top. To my surprise, as I separated the noodles on top, there was not even a single egg at the bottom of the bowl! Again my father smiled and said to me, ”My child, you must not always rely on experiences cos sometimes, life can cheat u or play tricks on u. But u must not be too annoyed or sad, just treat this as learning a lesson .You cannot Learn this from textbooks.\n\nThe third day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles, again one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top. He put the 2 bowls on the table and again said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?”. This time, I told my father, ”Dad, u choose first. You are the head of the family and contributed the most to the family. ”My father did not decline and chose the bowl with one egg on top. As I eat my bowl of noodles, Sure in my heart that there is no egg inside the bowl. To my surprise! There were TWO eggs at the bottom of the bowl.\n\nMy father smiled at me with love in his eyes, ”My child, u must remember!When u think for the good of others, good things will always naturally happen to u!”\n\nI always remember these 3 sentences of my father and lived and do my business accordingly. True enough, my business was a roaring，success.",

      "body": "I had to take my time to read the complete Bill Gates speech. Addressed to Nigeria. It's shows our leaders ain't thinking \n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n Your  Excellency Muhamadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Senator Bukola Saraki, Senate President; Honorable Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House; Your Excellencies, executive governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Royal fathers; Distinguished ladies and gentlemen. And as you say in Nigeria, all other protocols observed. Thank you for welcoming me to Nigeria.\n\nI've been coming here regularly since 2006, and I've always felt welcome. Nigerians usually greet me warmly. The first time I met the Sultan of Sokoto, I was honored that he greeted me with the gift of a white horse.\n\nAt some point during every visit, though, some brave person eventually asks me—very politely—\"Why are you actually here?\" It's an understandable question. Most American technology guys don't wander around Nigeria learning about its health system. But I think I have a good answer.\n\nWhen we started Microsoft 40 years ago, we wanted to build a successful business, but we also wanted to make people's lives better. We believed computers could revolutionize the way people lived and worked. But back then only big companies could afford them. We wanted to give everybody access.\n\nAs I got older, traveled more, and learned more about the world, I realized that billions of people had a problem that computers couldn't solve. They lacked the basics of a good life: food, shelter, health, education, and opportunity.\n\nAnd so I started my second career with my wife Melinda. With the money I'd been lucky enough to earn at Microsoft, we started working toward a different goal: a healthy and productive life for everyone.\n\nThat's why I come to Nigeria, and that's why Melinda and I will continue coming for as long as we are able. Our foundation's biggest office in Africa is here. We have committed over $1.6 billion in Nigeria so far, and we plan to increase our commitment. We have strong relationships with the federal government, state governments, businesses, NGOs, and civil society organizations. We are eager to support you as you work to make Nigeria a global economic powerhouse that provides opportunity for all its citizens—as you strive to fulfill this country's immense promise.\n\nI'm blown away by how much Nigeria has changed in the past decade.\n\nConsider the technology sector. That energy I talked about during the early days of Microsoft, our passion and our eagerness to take risks…. That's the same energy that powers technology hubs across Nigeria like Co-Creation and Enspire.\n\nThe novelist Chimamanda Adichie, who my wife especially admires, captured the country's spirit when she said her fellow Nigerians have \"big dreams and big ambitions.\"\n\nThis line graph of Nigeria's per capita GDP shows where those dreams and ambitions can lead. With the exception of the recent recession, the slope goes straight up. As a result of this growth, Nigeria is now the biggest economy on the continent. You are rapidly approaching upper middle income status, like Brazil, China, and Mexico.\n\nBut growth is not inevitable. Nigeria has unmatched economic potential, but what becomes of that potential depends on the choices you make as Nigeria's leaders.\n\nThe most important choice you can make is to maximize your greatest resource, the Nigerian people. Nigeria will thrive when every Nigerian is able to thrive.\n\nIf you invest in their health, education, and opportunities—the \"human capital\" we are talking about today—then they will lay the foundation for sustained prosperity. If you don't, however, then it is very important to recognize that there will be a sharp limit on how much the country can grow.\n\nYou see this risk in the data. From the point of view of the quality of life, much of Nigeria still looks like a low-income country.\n\nLet me give a few examples.\n\nIn upper middle income countries, the average life expectancy is 75 years. In lower middle income countries, it's 68. In low income countries, it's 62. In Nigeria, it is lower still: just 53 years.Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth, with the fourth worst maternal mortality rate in the world, ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, and Chad.One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnourished.\n\nI do not enjoy speaking to you this bluntly when you have been gracious enough to invite me here. But I am applying an important lesson I learned from Alhaji Aliko Dangote. Recently, Aliko and I were having a conversation with several governors about their states' official immunization rates. Aliko's way of stressing the importance of accurate data was to tell us, \"I didn't get rich by pretending to sell bags of cement I didn't have.\" I took from that that while it may be easier to be polite, it's more important to face facts so that you can make progress.\n\nOn immunization, you are already living that lesson: last year Nigeria revised its immunization coverage numbers downward to reflect more accurate sources, and I applaud you for those lower numbers. They may look worse, but they are more real, which is the first step toward saving and improving more lives.\n\nI urge you to apply this thinking to all your investments in your people. The Nigerian government's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies \"investing in our people\" as one of three \"strategic objectives.\" But the \"execution priorities\" don't fully reflect people's needs, prioritizing physical capital over human capital.\n\nTo anchor the economy over the long term, investments in infrastructure and competitiveness must go hand in hand with investments in people. People without roads, ports, and factories can't flourish. And roads, ports, and factories without skilled workers to build and manage them can't sustain an economy.\n\nIn preparation for my visit, I asked a research institute at the University of Washington to model Nigeria's economic growth under three scenarios related to health and education, the core of how economists define human capital.\n\nHere you can see Nigeria's per capita GDP growth from 2000 until today. If current education and health trends continue—if you spend the same amount in these areas and get the same results—per capita GDP flatlines, with economic growth just barely keeping up with population growth.\n\nIf things get worse, it will decline. Unfortunately, this scenario is a very real possibility unless you intervene at both the federal and state levels. Because even in the worst-case scenario, your national income level is about to make you ineligible for certain kinds of development assistance and loans that you've been relying on to fund your health system and other priorities. Without more and better spent domestic money, investment in your people will decline by default as donor money shrinks—a lose-lose scenario for everyone.\n\nHowever, if you commit to getting better results in health and education—if you spend more and more effectively—per capita GDP will stay on its remarkable pre-recession trajectory.\n\nThis is the scenario we all want: Nigeria thrives because every Nigerian is able to thrive.\n\nAnd the data makes it clear that this scenario is entirely within your reach.\n\nWhat do I mean by investing in your people? I mean prioritizing health and education, the factors included in the model I just showed you. I also mean continuing to open up opportunities in the agriculture and microenterprise sectors, as the government has proposed in the ERGP. I mean creating the conditions where Nigerians can reach their goals while adding value to the economy—the win-win scenario.\n\nOur foundation doesn't invest directly in education here, but the World Bank World Development Report that just came out makes it clear that education leads to improvements in employment, productivity, and wages.\n\nToday, though, more than half of rural Nigerian children can't read and write.\n\nThe conclusion is inescapable: Nigeria's economy tomorrow depends on improving its schools today.\n\nThe same is true of health, our foundation's primary focus area.\n\nIn 1978, Dr. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, who later became the Nigerian minister of health, helped establish primary health care as the global standard. We now know that a strong primary care system takes care of 90 percent of people's health needs.\n\nTragically, 40 years after Dr. Ransome-Kuti helped other countries set a course for the future, the Nigerian primary health care system is broken.\n\nThe evidence for this can be found in the epidemic of chronic malnutrition, or stunting. As the name suggests, chronic malnutrition is not a disease children catch. It is a condition that develops over time because they are deprived of a diverse diet and the services a strong primary health care system provides.\n\nThe consequences of stunting are devastating. Though stunted children are defined as shorter than average, we're not particularly concerned about their height. What we're concerned about is their brains, or what Akin Adesina calls \"gray matter infrastructure.\"\n\nThis is a picture of the brain of a single normally developing infant. And next to it is a picture of the brain of a single chronically malnourished infant. Every brain and every child are different, but you can clearly see the difference in the number of neural connections in these two brains. And once this kind of damage is done, it's very hard to repair.\n\nIn Nigeria, one in three children is chronically malnourished and could therefore be at risk. This is a tragedy for each one of these children; it is also a huge blow to the economy. According to the World Bank, addressing the stunting crisis in Nigeria would add almost $30 billion to the GDP.\n\nSo what will it take to solve stunting? It will take a focus on agricultural development, nutrition, and primary health care.\n\nA functioning primary health system has six features.\n\nAdequate funding.Good facilities located in the right places.Skilled and dedicated health workers.Ample stocks of essential equipment and medicines.Patients who know about the system and want to use it.And a mechanism for collecting the data needed to improve quality.\n\nI believe the Nigerian primary health care system is not adequately funded. But it also doesn't get the most out of its current funding. I want to re-emphasize that last point about data. More transparency would lead to more accountability, which would strengthen governance, leadership, and management, which would improve quality across the board.\n\nI visited a health clinic in Bodinga LGA in Sokoto yesterday, and it reminded me why I do this work. I'd like to ask all of you to spend one hour at a health center in the next month. I think you'll see how the system can be improved—and how much good it will do when it is.\n\nI know Nigeria can build up its primary care system, because I've seen what you accomplish when you meet health challenges head on.\n\nAs many of you know, we've been very close partners in your fight against polio.\n\nAs you can see on this graph, the hard work of hundreds of thousands of local leaders and health workers since the turn of the millennium has paid off. Nigeria has not had a case of wild polio virus in more than a year.\n\nBut the graph also shows that you've reported zero cases before, only to learn that the disease was still circulating in tiny pockets hidden by insecurity. It would be catastrophic to let your guard down when you're on the verge of eliminating the disease once and for all.\n\nI believe—because I have seen your work in the field as recently as yesterday—that you will do what it takes to end polio in Nigeria. We will be here, working side by side with you, until you do.\n\nThough health is our foundation's primary area of expertise, it's not the only thing we do, and it's not the only thing I mean when I say Nigeria should invest in its people. Healthy people need opportunities to thrive.\n\nOne of the most important of these opportunities is agriculture, the sector that nourishes most Nigerians and supports half the population, especially the poorest.\n\nThe agricultural sector is a pillar of the Nigerian economy. It accounts for a large proportion of your GDP, and during the oil price collapse and recession, it helped cushion the economy. But it still has a lot of potential to grow.\n\nThe majority of Nigerian smallholder farmers lack access to the seeds, fertilizer, and training they need to be more productive, and they lack access to the markets they need to profit from their labor.\n\nThe government has taken important steps to fill these gaps, with both more investment and a series of smart policies to encourage private sector investment.\n\nThese reforms lay the foundation for a booming agricultural sector that feeds the country, helps end chronic malnutrition, and lifts up tens of millions of smallholder farmers. I urge you to build on this good work.\n\nOne of the barriers that continues to prevent smallholders from thriving is their lack of access to finance. Like good roads, finance connects farmers to opportunity, yet only 4 percent of Nigerian farmers currently have a loan to grow their business.\n\nIn a country where three quarters of people have mobile phones, digital financial services provide a solution to this problem. In fact, digital finance offers the potential to boost the economy from top to bottom.\n\nRight now, more than 50 million Nigerian adults are at the whim of chance and the informal economy. With access to digital financial tools, they can cope better with disasters that threaten to wipe them out, build assets and a credit history, and gradually lift themselves out of poverty.\n\nConsider the impact this would have on businesses. Of the 37 million micro, small, and medium enterprises in Nigeria, more than 99 percent are micro. Their lack of access to finance is a leading reason why these businesses can't grow. With digital payments, savings, and credit, they will finally have the resources to plan for the future.\n\nAccording to the best estimates, digital financial services will create a 12.4 percent increase in Nigeria's GDP by 2025. Meanwhile, oil accounts for about 10 percent of Nigeria's GDP. Imagine adding another oil sector and then some to the economy, but one whose benefits spread far and wide and reach almost every single Nigerian.\n\nThere is another benefit to digital financial services that will make everything I'm urging you to do much easier: it will vastly improve the government's ability to tax and spend efficiently.\n\nLet me pause for a moment to say, I am confident that one thing you've been thinking as I've been talking is that, while you would like to spend more on health and nutrition and education and agriculture, you don't have the money to do everything. I appreciate the fact that what you can spend is a function of what you raise.\n\nNigeria's government revenue as a percentage of its GDP is by far the lowest in the world, at 6 percent. That makes investing in your people difficult. The next lowest country, Bangladesh, collects 10 percent of its GDP. If you got yourself up to second-to-last in the world, you would have an extra $18 billion to budget. Obviously, you're aiming higher than that, but it gives you some idea about the scale we're talking about.\n\nWe want to support you in your work to mobilize more resources to invest in your country. That's why our foundation is working with the Nigeria Governors' Forum to help states track internally generated revenue.\n\nUltimately, raising revenue to invest in growth will require delivering on the government's commitments to the Nigerian people, and convincing them that they will get a return on their taxes.\n\nRight now, Nigeria's fiscal situation is at what you might call a low equilibrium. In return for low levels of service, people pay low levels of tax. We hope to help you reach a higher equilibrium rooted in effective and transparent investments in people. This equilibrium would trigger a virtuous cycle.\n\nMore government revenue would lead to more money to spend on health and education. Better health and education, and investment in sectors like agriculture, would lead to more productive farms and factories. More productive farms would lead to more prosperous farmers who could expand their farms or invest in other businesses, especially if they had access to credit and other financial tools. These thriving farms, factories, and new businesses would lead to more government revenue. And the cycle would start again.\n\nTriggering that cycle will require bolder action—action you have the power to take as leaders, governors, and ministers focused on Nigeria's future.\n\nCONCLUSION\n\nNigerians are known around the world for their big dreams and big ambitions.\n\nTogether with the Dangote Foundation, we will be here to help you achieve your dreams and ambitions. You have the support of the international community. The Nigerian private sector will continue to invest. We are eager to help, but we know we can't lead. You must lead.\n\nI believe in the grand vision of Nigeria's future. I believe in it because I've seen it. It's represented by this line—the line that depends on healthy, educated people and the surge of economic activity they will unleash.\n\nAnd that means that the future depends on all of you—and your leadership in the years to come.\n\nThank you.![FB_IMG_1522060421502.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb8W8kbzzhdLu7p2dvkucwRrPogvgafg6kKiw7sMLEocR/FB_IMG_1522060421502.jpg)",

The international anti-corruption czar who used his legacy while on earth to combat the corrupt practices of the past leadership of Nigeria. This anti corruption crusade however met with a lot of severe consequences that affected his life and musical career. \n\nSuch audacious and dogged citizen of great reputation made an indelible impact in preaching ideal democracy, hence historians, intellectuals, sages and everyone including you and I will continue to reference him as a man ahead of his time even at death. If you have not listened to \"WATER NO GET ENERMY\" by FELA, go run a search on Google to download. \n\n\nNow, let's talk about today. Every 22, March is about focusing attention on the numerous importance of water. Today is World Water Day, and the theme for this year is - \"Nature for Water\" as declared by the United Nation's  (UN)\nThis year’s theme – Nature for Water – explores how we can use nature to overcome the water challenges of the 21st century.\nAccording to research, water is the most common substance found on earth, and it regulates Earth's temperature. Last year's theme was \"Why waste water?\" But today, let's place our focus on the nature for water?\". \n\nI pen this piece down because I'm a lover of nature who cherishes the unmerited blessings of God to man. I look around and to my right all I see is chickens caged in their beds making sounds, feeding and drinking water to stay alive, laying eggs, and continue to grow. Then to my left  are ponds filled with fishes swimming happily under water; what a beautiful environment I find myself today. Now, just behind me are green vegetables planted like flowers in the garden of Eden. I can say at best that I'm stomach-filled with the smell of nature. The banana and plantain plantations are a beautiful sight to behold. Indeed the land is green, can't you see? Just like TYBello said in her song - #GreenLand years ago.\n\n\nAfter such agricultural field trip, I was served a bottle of chilled water sourced from bore hole, and I said - \"He that has water in him will live\". Then we moved some meters away from where we were to the building site, and I watched in amazement how the modern building blocks are been fabricated. The quantity of water used in moulding just a hundred pieces of blocks were in gallons. You'd agree with me that regardless of the source, it's impossible to mould without water.\n\n\nWe can then say that water is an essential building block of life. It is more than just essential to quench thirst or protect health; water is vital for creating jobs and supporting economic, social, and human development. Without water, the chickens in the poultry will all die, the fishes in the ponds too will stay lifeless, all the green plants won't even germinate in the first place.  \nEven as the importance of water is being emphasised to the nature and mankind, it's alarming that over 780 million people lack access to an improved water source as 33% of what the world spends on bottled water in one year could pay for projects providing water to everyone in need, even as archive has it that unsafe water kills 200 children every hour across the world. Alas, 80% of all illnesses in the developing world are water -related.\nIn view of the above, it's advisable for all African leaders to do more in the area of providing portable water for their citizens. Our children are dying in numbers, so also is our livestock. In Nigeria today, majority of fellow students on campuses are forced to bathe with either sachet water or water gotten from irritating sources. I implore government and the concerned agencies to come to the aid of those who cannot afford to provide good source of water for themselves, and let's all unite to fight cholera and other related diseases caused by water. Let's all appreciate and use water rightly for the benefit of mankind.\n\n*Nwokwu Stanley Obinna*\n*Creative Director, CliqEarl Media*![IMG-20180322-WA0010.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX9bY77pz81CN9XtXRY1iPiVUcRZF9Lnc6VbMCcj3NmBK/IMG-20180322-WA0010.jpg)",

Here’s the story behind the quote:\n-\nEinstein was once given a copy of a questionnaire Thomas Edison created to screen job applicants. A journalist wanted to see whether Einstein could answer the questions on the questionnaire.\n-\nAs soon as he read the question: “What is the speed of sound?” he said: “I don’t know. I don’t burden my memory with such facts that I can easily find in any textbook.”\n-\nHe went on to say: “It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.”\n-\nWe can't keep saying we come from a poor background and continue to leave that life of poverty. I have seen some who also lived and was also born in abject poverty yet they rule their own.  Being poor isn't lack of ideas but lack of execution.  Being poor is a state of mind .\n-\n\nOsondu C.
