Peace!


Advertorial: I currently in UK for BIllionaires in Training (BIT) and NNC Launch. If you are interested in hooking up with me, my number is 07939114327. We’ll be meeting at “2nd Floor, Kingsway House, 103 Kingsway, Holborn, WC2B 6QX”. We’ll be meeting there from 10am to 5pm. We’ll also be discussing great opportunities to invest back in Nigeria and make cool returns. I’ll be back in Nigeria in a matter of days, so if we must see, this meeting is a good place to make it happen. We’ll also be having a follow up meeting for 1-2hrs on Sunday as well.

To the average young man, the concept of peace connotes a boring stillness that is only desirable by the old. Young people don’t really desire peace, they desire thrills! I’m a young person too, and even though I knew theoretically that peace is the ultimate virtue humanity seeks, I still battled with the definition of it. Is peace a stillness? Is it the absence of trouble, tempest or storm? Is peace the period between two wars? Is it a child in the peace of a manger while the sea troubles the waters? I discovered lately, a definition of peace that rocked my soul, and showed me what real peace was. It also made peace desirable to both the young and the old.

Peace is not the still, the calm or the trouble free. Peace is the character that results in those qualifications. Peace, I discovered, is the possession of adequate resources! Peace is a state of mind that you manifest, when you are confident that there is sufficient to take care of whatever is coming. I’m sure this sounds like blasphemy already, how can peace be hinged on possession? Before you perish the thought, let’s look together at a few thoughts that I learnt last week. Continue reading →

NSE- Update. STOP!


Some wonders are currently being performed on the Nigerian Stock Market, so the blood flow might be halted for a while, please read this before you take action! So you know the right time to exit. Particularly for speculators.

MARKET UPDATE- EMERGENCY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION TO BOLSTER THE STOCK MARKET

At the meeting which the Federal Government, the CBN, SEC, NSE and bankers organized in order to restore investor confidence in the nation’s capital market, the following new proposals were agreed namely:

1. Share Price Limits: Daily price fall limited to 1%; Maximum price rise still 5%

Implication: Prices will fall at a slower rate now than before when stock prices could fall by a maximum of 5% in a day. Thus, a stock would have to fall by 5% over a week to have the same effect as before when a stock could fall by as much as 5% in a single trading day. In other words, a stock will have to fall by as much as 1% per day over 5 trading days before it can have the same effect as the previous rule whereby stocks could fall by as much as 5% in a single trading day. Hence, this new rule will bolster the value of share prices on the NSE, prevent severe share price and market declines. Continue reading →

Blood on the Dance Floor



Michael Jackson Lyrics
Blood On The Dancefloor Lyrics

Do you know any better way to describe the current events on the Nigerian Stock Exchange? I don’t. I don’t know of any more graphical way to paint the picture of what is going on in the Nigerian Stock Market right now! I think Michael Jackson got the phrase right, “there is blood on the dance floor”. Reading the lyrics of that song in detail, it even amazes me that the girl that spilled the blood was a one night stand :) Now parallel that with being a speculator rather than a long term investor in today’s market. If you look at it that critically, you might see Michael as a prophet :) . You come to the dance floor to enjoy, to let you hairs down, to celebrate… and you are about getting into the groove, and you see a splash of blood, you are shocked and everybody panics, is this a drink, ketchup or someone’s blood? You look around to see the source, and then the whole club spots it all at once, there is blood on the dance floor, and the blood, is yours!

It wouldn’t amaze any avid stock market investor now, that people have started committing suicide. People have lost millions, some billions in this “market correction”, and if it was only money that was lost, one might not be so bothered. The average person has already lost about 50% of his capital in this craziness, and the end is yet to come. Many who have a normal penchant for taking higher risks, by using the bank’s margin facilities in this market, are crying – sorry, weeping! Week after week, I have studied different opinions on what was causing the land slide of share prices and where hope lies, and honestly it got to the point where I figured it all out. I not only figured it out I figured out what to do. I’m sure you are wondering what exactly that is?…Read on. Continue reading →

Gratitude and Giving


I’m currently in Ilorin, for my younger sister’s wedding, and ultimately for an NNC Launch in Ilorin. It’s been a busy week as always, a little bit busier, but there have been plenty to give God thanks for.

One of the greatest lesssons I have been learning in the last few months is about gratitude. I thought I knew enough about gratitude, just as many of you also think you do, but in the last few months, I have discovered that I know only a little sketch of the power, purpose and priviledge in being able to show gratitude. I don’t know what kind of life you are living today, are you happy? Are you complaining? Are you getting frustrated about something? Are you afraid or scared? Are you confused? Are you losing patience? Are you in trouble? If you are any of these things, you might have gotten into them for many reasons, but there is one sure way out, and understanding the power of gratitude and unleashing that power is one sure way out.

I’ll like to lay a fundamental premise first. That there are two reals of existence, there is one realm that is seen, and there is another realm that is unseen. The Christian or Muslim will tell you that there is a spiritual world and a physical world. The scientist also alludes to this a bit, by acknowledging the possibility of a 4th dimension. The scientist knows by experimentation and research however, that the basic building block of every organism, dead or alive is energy, and this energy is unseen. In other words, either we go via the channels of religion or via the channels of scientific thinking, one thing is sure, there is a seen world (frame of existence) and there is an unseen world.

Numbering-002


Advertisement: An NNC Financial Empowerment and Opportunities Seminar will be holding in Ilorin in Kingstone Grand Suites Hotel on Sunday the 17th of August at 3pm. Please invite your friends that live in Ilorin to be a part of this life changing event. For more details about this event call Kunle on 07030597130.

Also, NNC UK is coming live on the 30th of August, 2008 with Billionaires in Training. If you are in UK or it’s environs, I urge you to meet up with the organizers and help to make it grand. For more details you can mail Peter on ukinfo@newnigeriaclub.net

Last week we started on a very interesting topic – Numbering our days. We established that it requires wisdom – application of knowledge to calculate the numbers of our days and to chose the appropriate steps to take. Since this is a continuation article, I advice that you read the Numbering 001 before you continue so you can get a full picture of the entire article.

If you have ever read the stories of how God instructed Noah to build the Ark, or Moses to build the Ark and Temple or Solomon to rebuild the Temple, you will see that God is very precise, and has unique reasons and purposes for everything that he specifies. I have covered numbers 1-6, so Now I will start from Number 7 Continue reading →

Thank You All!


I have written this post once before now, and somehow the internet misbehaved when I wanted to post it, and I had no back up. Well, the Yoruba’s say that the house of a king that gets burnt only beautifies it. I guess the fact that I have to thank you again, will only make my thanks sound better.

I want to use this opportunity to appreciate everybody that has added value to my life in one way or the other. I want to thank everybody that wished me well in this new phase of my life. For all the text messages, the emails, the facebook walls, gifts, presence, prayer and goodwill e.t.c. I sincerely express my heartfelt gratitude. Thank You.

A wise man once said, that anybody that pauses to understand life will observe that the highest life lived is that spent in the service of others. The best use of money is to use it in blessing another. The best use of talent, of skill or value is in service. Thank you for being so ever supportive. Thanks for making my days and making my years. I appreciate and celebrate you for the years gone buy, and I welcome you with me into the years ahead. Thank you! Continue reading →

Barack Obama and I


On Monday the 4th of August, 2008. Barack Hussein Obama and I will be celebrating our birthdays :) . He is older by 16yrs.

While I have had it in mind to post an article titled Barack Obama and I for a while, I have not given much thought to what the content of the article will be. Haven thought about it now though, I believe there is a lot I can learn from Obama, with 16yrs ahead of me, and  an enviable present, there is a lot that I can learn from him, and there is a lot you can learn too.
