@BobriskyIdris She get breast at all?

[Lavern Spicer 🇺🇸 @lavern_spicer]

I was talking to a friend on the phone and she said she could never vote Republican because they want to take away abortion.”

I said “what’s so horrible about that?”

She said women should have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies.

ME: Did you feel that way when the government FORCED you to wear a mask and get the vaccine?

HER: That was different, that was saving lives.

ME: Not killing unborn babies is saving lives too.

SILENCE.

Then I said: Every time a black woman has an abortion she’s preventing a black child from being born. Is that a good thing?

SILENCE.

Then I said: Democrats want us to stay the minority in this country. That’s why they let drugs and guns come into our neighborhoods. And that’s why they encourage y’all not to reproduce.

She hung up on me.

I fly Value Jet Airlines for my local travel within Nigeria.

The only time I don't use them is if they are not going my way.

I like their aircraft; they are small, comfy, and compact, but the attraction was the air fare.

They used to charge around 40k when they came out, as they were the cheapest in the market and very affordable when you juxtapose the fare with the premium service they offer.

Their price has gone up of late because of the crazy dollar rate, but I still use them, and I just used them yesterday.

Any time I'm flying with them, I'm reminded of the power and possibilities of the mass market in Nigeria and how it can change your life as an entrepreneur.

Nothing illustrates this better than Kunle Sonami, the owner of the airline.

Before he founded Value Jet Airlines, Kunle had another business called Bet9ja.

He founded Bet9ja in 2013, and the gaming business has grown to be a monster, the biggest in the gaming industry in Nigeria.

To show you how big Bet9ja is,Bet9ja is the second-most visited website in Nigeria after Google.

It has more traffic than Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Only Google has more traffic In Nigeria than it.

In addition, Bet9ja makes an average of $400,000 every day, according to a recent KPMG study.

$10 million every month in revenue

In Lagos alone, which is their biggest market, Bet9ja turns over about $1 million monthly.

What Kunle is doing with Bet9ja is simple. Selling hope to a greater number of our people by encouraging them to part with their money daily in anticipation of winning life-changing money

This alone changed the life of Kunle, who is today a billionaire and one of the richest Nigerian men alive.

A detained former CBN governor, Emiefele, was astounded by the amount of money betting companies had in their bank accounts in 2021.

Idle funds in the bank that they are not using for anything.

Tired of keeping those idle funds in the bank, Baba Ijebu moved $420 ‘million abroad into his official offshore account, and that move attracted the wrath of Emiefele, who gave instructions that Baba Ijebu's corporate bank account should be frozen by placing a post-no-debit on it.

The reason why Baba Ijebu or Bet9ja are swimming with so much idle cash in the bank is consistent with what I have been preaching about the mass market and the power to change your life as an entrepreneur.

Think about it.

Bet9ja's business model is to target poor people and low-income earners by selling hope to them, just like Nigerian churches do.

They have scaled this hustle to the 36 states of the federation, including Abuja.

So let’s say that their lowest customer pays 100 naira for daily betting. Calculate this by the number of people they serve daily and see how much these guys make.

Insane blood money.

Your business does not need to be a luxury business to be rich.

No sir 

If your hustle does what Bet9ja is doing by targeting poor people who spend 100 naira to patronize them and then scaling it to reach more people who can afford to spend 100 naira daily, you will be so rich that the CBN governor will be wondering what is going on and how you make these monies.

It is the same business model that Baba Ijebu uses, and it has made them widely successful in the past 40 years.

The power of numbers

Tired of using the idle funds in the bank for fixed income purposes by either placing them on Treasury bills or fixing them with banks, Kunle 
Sonami decided to deploy them to create high-wage jobs for our people.

I remember vividly when they launched. After Air Peace, they were the second employer of labor in the airline industry for white pilots who sleep over at the Sheraton hotel when they are on break.

They also employed the greatest number of Nigerians in other capacities, like air hostesses and other management roles.

The airline business, as we know, has a low margin.

Bet9ja, with a 35% profit margin, is significantly more profitable than Value Jet Airlines.

He was very sick.

His friends took him to the hospital.

He was admitted and the doctor advised him to run series of tests including HIV to ascertain what the problem was.

Malaria and typhoid tests came back positive that same day.

While they were expecting the other test results, the doctor started treating malaria and typhoid.

As he was recovering very fast, the HIV test result came and it was also positive.

The doctor broke the news to him.

He was devastated and broken.

Within hours, all his body systems broke down.

He couldn't eat and he couldn't sleep.

Within one week, he emaciated seriously to the extent he couldn't walk by himself again.

Then something dramatic happened after two weeks.

The lab discovered that they made a mistake with the results.

They had swapped his sample with another person's own.

He is HIV - negative.

The doctor got the news and summon the courage to break the news to the patient.

Doctor: Sir, we are sorry

Patient: For what doctor?

Doctor: There was a mistake with your blood sample submitted for the HIV test.

Patient: What do you mean doctor?

Doctor: They discovered you are HIV - negative.

Patient: What! Are you serious, doctor?

Doctor: Yes sir! We are very sorry.

The guy that couldn't walk for days, jumped out of the bed and started running around the ward in excitement.

Everyone in the hospital was shocked at the scene.

What happened?

What changed?

Where did the strength come from?

The power of the mind.

We live and die first in our minds.

We are poor first in our minds.

We are rich first in our minds.

We are failures first in our minds.

We are successful first in our minds.

You can't become in life what you have not become in your mind.

Train your mind and heart to be positive and progressive-minded.

JUST A REMINDER

"Buy one - get one free"
It may be a marketing gimmick.
But it is true in real life in many sense and ways.

We buy anger and get high blood Pressure free.

We buy jealousy and get headache free.

We buy hatred and get ulcers free.

We buy stress and get heart diseases, liver diseases, stroke and diabetes free ( many options)…and so on.

Conversely

If we buy trust, we get friendship free.

If we buy exercise, we get health free.

If we buy peace, we get prosperity free.

If we buy honesty, we get a good sleep and many great virtues for free.

If we buy positivity, we get hope free.

It is for us to decide what we want to buy in life, as whatever we buy in life, the life automatically gives us something free with it.
