Examine True Friendship

Examine True Friendship In Life-Godday Odidi

Not everybody is your friend or enemy. Life has taught me to study people before getting close to them. You might be working with your enemy unknown to you.

Today, everybody sees me with my mentor, Dr.Michael Orobosa Ubogu, some say, Godday is lucky, I just laugh, it took my mentor and brother about 6years to study my behavior if I'm one of those who is after his money or fame. I knew him from his starting point and he knew how the journey of Mindset started too. Today, I'm not just his protege but a younger brother he counsels and listens to always.

Today, I m well-respected in the Maritime industry, he officially introduced me to his mentor and father, Comrade Adeyanju Adewale. We designed the e-voting website to be used for future MWUN elections. 

Friendship is all about trust, love, and due process. Playing outsmarting attitude towards your helpers or mentors could stop further helps in life.

My mentor taught me something, before you do business with people, do background verification but I have been victims of this. I'm so compassionate about people's problems and always ready to render quick assistance.

Sometimes, the people I pity, feel they are too much and now they can do without me. One opportunity can close by one bad attitude in life. Dr.Ubogu and Comrade Adeyanju have taught me to follow due process in life. One bad report about you can stop some people from helping you in life. 

Most problems we face today are not spiritual but physical, trying to run faster than our destinies. In Nigeria, the attitudinal character has eaten deep into our mindsets.

Anybody who connects you to your profession is your God but trying to dent his or her image before the helper might result in future battles.

A few years ago, I went to look for a job at a law firm at Surulere, Lagos, the young man that welcomed me into his MD's office was a worker. After the MD saw my CV, he wanted to employ me immediately that my CV convinced him that I could do better than the young man that welcomed me to his office. I just smiled and left his office. I was jobless but never allowed myself to be used as a prayer point.

If you must grow steadily, the guiding principle of life, you must follow them accordingly to examine a true friendship. Quality friendship brings positive results.

What Are You Focusing On

What Are You Focusing On

I was in a heated discussion with a respected fellow, he was complaining seriously about the economic situation of Nigeria. I reply by telling him, it depends on what you are focusing on.

He told me that since he was born, this is the worst time he has ever experienced. I replied by saying, this is the best of times I have ever lived to experience.

Challenges are bread for winners. The difference between a winner and a loser is their mentality. It is not the economic situation of Nigeria that determines our response, rather _it is our mentality_.

Have you not observed that many guys are building houses and buying properties here and there? Top-Notch Entrepreneurs are investing in our ventures, diversifying their portfolios. We must see beyond what is happening now.

I was teaching at a business seminar organized by a church last Sunday. *I told them that anytime there are economic crises like we are experiencing now, God is set to expand our businesses*.

" *What we focus on expanding".* There are a lot of opportunities all around us, it all depends on what we are focusing on.

That is why mentoring is very critical at this moment. Mentoring helps in forming a great mentality. Mentoring gives us perspectives.

ERECTION

GET FREE EBOOKS

Mr man, that early morning erection is not for sex, it only reminds you that you are a man and need to get up from bed and work to be a real man. Poverty is manufactured from the bed. If you follow all the dictates of your erections and urge for sleep, you will die in poverty.

 NOTE THE FOLLOWING

Erection is a state of arousal of sexual desires in a man in preparation for sexual exploitation.

Having an erection is natural but obeying the dictates of your erection is a choice. 

For every election, there's a responsibility. Wise men have control over their erection but foolish men obey their erections.

Any erection not properly controlled is capable of leading one to an early grave.

Many became useless fathers because they didn't control their erections.

Some are in prison because they followed the dictates of their stupid erection.

Others have lost great opportunities in life because their erection pushed them.

The stupidity of erection is that most times it isn't selective. 

Unchecked erection has led great kings to be at the bed of their slaves and maids. 

Erection has not left the clergy out of the drama as many have been found messing up with those they ought to be shepherd over. What a stupid erection!

A strong man is not measured by the level of his physical muscle or by the number of nations he has conquered but by his ability to control his erection.

No man in history could be said to be more powerful than Samson yet his erection made him the weakest in history, his erection made him fall on the laps of a woman.

David killed Goliath and conquered many great nations but he couldn't conquer his erection, he became weak at the sight of Bathsheba, the wife of his servant. 

Reuben ruined his future and generation after him because of his uncontrollable erection.

Don't let your erection destroy your destiny!

LEARN: 4 Top ICT skills that can make you a fortune in 2021

Your erection is a sign you are a real man but following it everywhere it leads you is a sign of weakness.

Any man who cannot control his erection can't control his life.

The only time your erection cannot mislead you is when you use it within the confines of your marriage.

Stop following your erection, follow your vision.

Unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, I commit each and every one

of us and pray that we shall all finish well and finish strong. Amen

THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE ON EARTH

THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE ON EARTH

- Idiots, 

- Tribesmen, and 

- Citizens.

1. Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, there are three types of people on earth, 

- the idiots, 

- the tribesmen, and 

- the citizens. 

 

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. 

The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots. 

2. When the Greeks used the word *"idiot"*, they did not use it as a curse word. 

Idiots are people who just don’t care. 

If they write exams, they will cheat.

If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a  trash bin. 

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens. 

3. The next set of people are tribesmen, these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. 

It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes.

They trust only their tribesmen. 

4. The last group is citizens. 

These are people that like to do things the right way. 

They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.

They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.

In government, they won’t steal.

They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing. 

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. 

The Greeks called this group the citizens. 

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots. 

Others have so many idiots. 

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.

And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law. 

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed. 

Where do you belong?

Are you an idiot, a tribesman, or a citizen?

Reflect on your life.

Reflect on
your country and Africa in general before you answer.

Food for thought.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Setting up a Private Limited Liability Company.

If you have any plans of taking OPM (Other People's Money) and these other people happen to be institutions, a Private Limited Liability Company is the type of business entity you need. 

Advantages of Setting Up a Private Limited Liability Company

The company has the ability to continue to exist beyond the death of its shareholders, unlike in a Business Name or a P
artnership (except the Partnership Agreement states otherwise). Companies like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Apple etc. are examples. 

It is also a separate entity distinct from its shareholders as such it is possible for a company to be liable for action whilst the shareholders are shielded from such liability.

The advantages notwithstanding, incorporating a company creates some degree of additional complexity and expenses as compared to opting for a business name. 

Disadvantages of Setting Up a Private Limited Liability Company

Setting up a company can be expensive 

Having a company also limits your privacy. 

There are numerous filing obligations (annual returns, resolutions, change of directors and/or shareholders etc.) As a company, you are statutorily obligated to file annual returns, which must be supported by the company's audited accounts. 

The often mentioned double taxation.

Double taxation, as the name implies, means being taxed twice, and this is absolutely legal. So how does this happen? When a Company declares profits, it pays tax at a corporate level, i.e. as a company to the Federal Government through the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). And then when it distributes profits (dividend) to its members, each member pays personal income tax on that dividend to the government of the state where they are resident. So if you live in Lagos, the Lagos Inland Revenue Service (LIRS) would be the agency you will be paying your taxes to.

If you are looking at types of business entities, you should consider setting up a Private Limited Liability Company.

Have You Had The Word IMPOSSIBLE Take It As A MOTIVATION

Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing. 

The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. Treat the word 'impossible' as nothing more than motivation.

Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. It always seems impossible until it's done.

Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by our own minds. 

We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware of this: absolutely anything in the world is possible. Nobody is better than another, not one. The only thing that differentiates us is God's grace. 

Have faith in God. Dare the impossible, and watch the unseen forces come to your aid. 

It's not over until I win. 

*"Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes" Mark 9:23*
