Shocking 😳
In Saudi Arabia, a pilgrim tried to strangle his sick father inside the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, claiming that if he died there he would go straight to heaven.
7 Actions That Could Make You a Millionaire If You Do Them
Register a company, even if you don’t have something to do with it at the moment. Most corporate deals go to companies, not individuals.
Invest in learning how to write business plans, so you can get loans, because you don’t necessarily want to invest with your own money. Dangote did not build his refinery with his own money. He borrowed. Borrowing is the lifeblood of business. Understand how to carry out feasibility studies, dollar cost averaging, and other business related tasks.
When profit comes, convert it from money to assets. All monies, whether Dollars, Pounds, Naira, Cedi, or Shillings, are by their very nature designed to lose value over time. It is called inflation. That makes them liabilities. Invest in what rises in value over time. Invest in assets.
When putting your money in assets, have a mixed portfolio of conservative and risky investments. Never put all your profits in risky assets alone.
Banks exist to suck money from people who don’t have business ideas, and give it to those who do. When you don’t know what to do with money, you save it. When you know what to do with money, you borrow from banks to invest in a business. Instead of saving, learn how to invest your money yourself.
Money is never static. It is either growing or shrinking. When you don’t know what to do with your money, inflation will make the decision for you by making your money shrink. Only by investing can you protect your money from inflation. If not, kiss it goodbye,
If you do not know what to do with your money, invest it in the VOO and VFIAX. Both products are some of the safest yet most profitable investments on Earth.

Stop saying, respect women. I'm afraid I have to disagree with that, because it is sexist and possibly misandristic. Instead, say respect people. Respect should not be gender specific. Many women are worthy of equal or even higher respect than men. However, don't expect me to respect you just because you are a woman, when you are not worthy of respect. The same thing applies to both genders. We are giving many women a false basis for demanding respect just because they have bosoms and booties. It does not work that way. Respect is earned, not demanded, based on gender. Capisce?

Never tell anybody outside your family what is going on in your household. And if you must tell, tell it to God in prayer or a licensed therapist, who can be sued if they violate the patient/client confidentiality clause. Your husband shouts at you, and you tell your whole family and friends. Some of their own husbands beat them daily, and they don't tell you. Your children misbehave, and you rush to entertain everybody with their matter. These are people whose kids are into Yahoo Plus, but they would not tell you. Don't use your own mouth to rubbish the family that you are meant to refurbish. Don't turn your home into a reality show for your circle of friends to be amused by. You can forgive your family. But once you badmouth them outside, the stigma sticks to them like dandruff on a slay queen's natural hair! And if their value goes down, so does yours.

Seven Keys To Guaranteed Life Success
One: Nobody on Earth needs a new car. Absolutely nobody. What you need is a reliable car. Except it is an antique car, buying a new car is the worst investment you can make. The moment you drive it out of the dealership, 15% of its value is gone. Spend money better!
Two: Nobody but a fool buys designer clothes with money that they work for. They are called luxury goods for a reason. The reason is because you are not to spend your income on them. You are rather to spend only money from your assets on them! You should not be purchasing any luxuries when you have not finished buying your necessities,
Three: Your purchases either build wealth for you or create wealth for others. That’s why after spending on your necessities, you should spend the rest of your salary or income on investments like Shares, Crypto, Gold ETF, REITs, Mutual Funds, Growth Stocks, Blue Chip Stocks, Index Funds, etc. Build wealth for your good health!
Four: The owners of Gucci, Armani and Louis Vuitton are already billionaires. You are not a billionaire. You are not a millionaire. You are not even worth $100,000. They don’t need your money. You need your money more than them. Invest in your future, not their future!
Five: According to Ramsey Solutions, only 21% of millionaires inherited their money. 79% created their wealth. How did they do it? The world is divided broadly into producers and consumers. The more you are into production, the more millions will be into you! Read the biographies of self-made billionaires and shorten your learning curve.
Six: Don’t be too proud for side hustles, as long as they put money in your pocket. On your way to and from work, do @Uber. If you have spare rooms in your house, do @Airbnb. On your days off, do @YouTube. Invest in productive habits, not consumptive ones
Seven: The reason why it is called active income is because you have to ACT to make that income. It is not called faith income. So, you should not pray and sit down. Pray and act. Faith is a verb. Your faith only becomes functional when you work it! Go and work!

What you have is what you once dreamt of and it’s what many others are still dreaming of.Appreciate your accomplishments because it’s still reversible.
A Blue Whale is pregnant for 12 months. In that period, a rabbit will have 12 pregnancies. But a Blue Whale lives for 90 years, and a rabbit won't live up to 9 years. Your success only takes longer because God wants it to last longer than the average. Moses did not marry until after 40, yet he never had issues with having children. Abraham married well before 40, yet he had challenges with having children. Don’t compare your timing to others. Mango and guava have their different times and seasons!

•Spending without a budget
•Buying luxuries before necessities
•Mistaking laziness for faith
•Nursing grudges instead of ideas

•Unnecessarily upgrading your phone when the old one works perfectly
•Feeding your ego
Replace them with the better financial habits. Study money religiously so you can earn it regularly and invest it wisely. Never borrow money unless it is for your business, education or health. Money is just like any other friend you have. The more you learn about your friend, the more you benefit from the friendship.

Destroying Age Old Myths About The Nigerian Civil War
Myth Four: Awolowo starved Biafran children to death
Radio Biafra and IPOB have also accused Chief Awolowo of using starvation as a means of war. Others have written on my Twitter timeline that Chief Awolowo sent poisonous food to Biafra to kill Igbos. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Why would Chief Awolowo poison the food he sent to Biafra to feed civilians? First and foremost, he had no duty to send food. It was a humanitarian gesture because Chief Awolowo had personal principles. The gesture brought him into conflict with General Gowon and Murtala Muhammed.
You have to understand that Chief Awolowo was a very committed ascetic Christian, as well as an esoteric mystic (I choose not to say more about this), and he could not live with himself as Biafran civilians were dying. The food itself was sent in conjunction with the Red Cross, the World Council of Churches, as well as The Catholic Church through Caritas. Are you telling me the Red Cross and these other bodies would allow Chief Awolowo poison food relief?
That particular propaganda was imitated and spread by a man called Okokon Ndem, a presenter on Radio Biafra. The purpose was to make the civilians, for whom Chief Awolowo intended the food, reject it so that it could be given to Biafran soldiers.
Do you see what the Igbos call okporoko (stockfish)? It was a prominent aspect of the relief materials. That is why and how okporoko became popular in Biafra and Igboland till today. They have Chief Awolowo and the nation of Norway to thank for Okporoko. Before the war, they did not know anything like Okporoko.
Even in Europe, when the Germans surrounded the Russian city of Leningrad for 900 days during the Siege of Leningrad, they did not send in any food. When the Allies surrounded Germany, they also did not send in any food.
During the American Civil War, the Union forces blockaded the Confederate rebels and starved them.
But Chief Awolowo sent food relief to Biafran civilians (which Colonel Ojukwu diverted to Biafran soldiers), and today, rather than gratitude, the children of those he tried to save harbour so much venom against him while spending money with Murtala Muhammed's image. If only they knew what Murtala did to them.
Below is a paragraph of the resignation letter written by Robert S. Goldstein, An American, to Ojukwu. He was Biafra's paid publicist during the Biafran War. Please note what he said about starvation in Biafra.
"I cannot in all conscience serve you any longer. Nor can I be a party to suppressing the fact that your starving thousands have the food, medicine and milk available to them. It can and is ready to be delivered through international organizations to you. Only your constant refusal has stopped its delivery."-Published in various newspapers on August 17, 1968.
Also, see attached news headline.
Every family in former Biafra owes a debt of gratitude to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Sadly, many parents who should have taught their children this documented history have instead filled them with hatred by regaling them with wartime propaganda.
