Today, I feel like sharing a true life story with you and i need your perspective really, so don't leave this page without leaving your thoughts, muah! I trust you
There is a very wealthy man in Nigeria, a multimillionaire, he has several companies and is making money big time, he is a christian, well-spoken off by all and sundry but in one of his companies, he has his nephews(sons of his brother) working in his factory, being a production comapny and the guys earn just #16,000 per month as other junior staffs.
such a short story it is, the controversy now is, why can't he help this close relatives of his more than this? A school of thought says he is supposed to set them up in a business or just give them a large chunk of money, that it's unethical to have his relatives do such jobs despite their lack of education. Another school of thought says it serves them right for he cannot make them managers or directors of the companies since they are uneducated. what do you think?
I hope you are not like them. I hear you say there are no jobs everywhere, you are right, for there are not jobs for everyone but there are jobs for the qualified. you know nothing about the course you studied cos you crammed throughout your days in school, you have a certificate you can not defend, worst still, since you have graduated, you have stopped reading, in this ICT age, you don't know how to shutdown a laptop, oh gosh! if you would be sincere, can you even hire yourself if you happen to be an employer? . you say your problem is lack of money to start or run a business yet you lack strategies and plans that can multiply money, hey! if you get a whooping sum of 5Million naira today, what would you do with it, there you are thinking it's money you first need to start a business? no! money does not always bring money, riches are not just result of hard work. competent brains, if effectively marketed, is what you need, not first of all money. Ideas can be transmuted into cash through the power of definite purpose, plus definite plans.
So dear, are you set for your opportunity? are u prepared? when your time and my time shall come, shall it meet us ready? as you go into this week, why not begin to invest in yourself? why not start reading that book on leadership, business, marriage? why not begin to learn that skill that may make you lose a job in the future? why not start work and stop talking?

well, as for me, I go with the second school of thought. There was a similar case of Joseph and his brothers in the bible, Joseph being the Prime minister of Egypt after relocating his family to Egypt, he wanted to make sure they could fend for themselves, so he talked with Pharaoh and Pharaoh asked him "what is their occupation?" which is similar to what is their qualification, Joseph told Pharaoh they are correct and certified herdsmen and fiaam! Pharaoh hired them and so by the influence of Joseph, they got employed but because they were qualified ( Genesis 47;1-6).
Friends, the truth about that story is that the time of those guys came, but it met them unprepared, opportunities come our way everyday but most of us are unprepared for them so they pass us by, in life, what you get is equal to the investment you have made in yourself, you can't expect something for nothing. your results currently is based on your self-investment, your job, your income, your house are all as a result of who you are, in fact, your spouse is somehow determined by the investment you have made in yourself, so my point is that you determine your own value, your self worth and you determine the price at which you sell yourself. Those guys have a wealthy uncle but they have a poor brain or unused brain, they have help in their reach but lack hands, they have a cap but no head on which to wear it, that's just their case.I hope you are not like them. I hear you say there are no jobs everywhere, you are right, for there are not jobs for everyone but there are jobs for the qualified. you know nothing about the course you studied cos you crammed throughout your days in school, you have a certificate you can not defend, worst still, since you have graduated, you have stopped reading, in this ICT age, you don't know how to shutdown a laptop, oh gosh! if you would be sincere, can you even hire yourself if you happen to be an employer? . you say your problem is lack of money to start or run a business yet you lack strategies and plans that can multiply money, hey! if you get a whooping sum of 5Million naira today, what would you do with it, there you are thinking it's money you first need to start a business? no! money does not always bring money, riches are not just result of hard work. competent brains, if effectively marketed, is what you need, not first of all money.
