Early this month, after a meeting with my Pastor (Rev Sam Adeyemi), I decided to buy 20 copies of the book – “The Tipping Point”, and make them available to all my colleagues. The meeting with him had been a really good one, I had briefed him about the New Nigeria Club, our passion, our vision, our motivation and methodologies. He was excited about what we were doing, and remarked that he believed that what we were doing had the potentials to “catch fire”. He also commented that it wasn’t an idea anymore, as we had started.

We are consistently on the look out now, for what we can do, to tip every project that we are working on.

We tipped last week Sunday with filled to capacity room, for Financial Empowerment Seminar Series and next week Sunday, we are even taking bolder steps. This week Sunday we’ll be having part 2 of the Financial Empowerment Series, and we’ll be delving into details about how to become financially empowered with the vehicles of the Stock Market and Real Estate, and how to do it with little or zero capital.
