And i met Him....

Last week was quite busy for me. I succeeded in getting a new Multilinks fone. At least, it means uninterrupted Internet supply. I am still having a feeling that i should buy an inverter to complement electricity but that is an issue for another day.



And so i met someone. I was at Premier Hotel last week when someone i have longed to meet come walking to the venue of a seminar that i was going to present at.

From his days doing drama (catch them young) to the likes of "great mistake", "story of my life", "strange religion", to the recent ones...., he has been my hero. Infact, he did was my childhood hero.



"Hello sir", i said as we got talking......It was Rev. Mike Bamiloye. While its no news meeting him, i felt more excited when i was opportuned to sit down with him for 8 hours spread over two days.

It was quite revealing and purposeful as we discuss forex and move on to some other things. Overall, i had a fulfilled day, having met someone i so much hold in high esteem.



I am making serious headway in forex. I am doing a research on managed account and i am yet to find a very reputable one that allows a low start-up. I heard damadsuite is quite a good one, but i am yet to speak to couple of investors on that. Northfinance allows a minimum of $10,000 for a managed account. I still beieve that the start up is quite on the high side....so i am looking for some other way out.



My eyes seem to be popping out from lack of sleep. I guess i need some rest before i collapse. Will be back during the week to post on my findings..

I doff my Hat

I love surfing online so much.I read forums, blogs, websites and other online journals. While i may not consider contributing to online communities, i stll visit to learn one or two things.
Recently, i have noticed that my scope of knowledge has increased especially in terms of financial intelligence. I also discover that reading some couple of blogs have helped me reach this goal and i intentionally dedicate this post to those blogs:

Deolu Akinyemi: Its the no.1 on my list. While i have never met deolu before, his impact has been felt in nearly every part of Nigeria. From his days at procter and gamble, to his starting "Generis Solutions", he has been outstanding in nearly every business respect. One idea i learnt from his many blog postings is the need to make as much Nigerians financially independent.

Funmi Iyanda: I am sure she does not need any introduction. "New dawn with Funmi" speaks for her. Not many people know until recently that the TV diva actually owns an online blog. her recent posting on an encounter with the police sure reveals the decay in our society.

NaijaCutie: She is truly the type of cutie i crave for.... Very business oriented, articulate, intelligent and consistent. I have on many occasion speak with this lady who hails from the eastern part of Nigeria but currently studies in one of the Uk universities. I guess she is a typical personality a young person should crave. For some crazy moments, i have a belief that she will take the whole Uk by storm.

Gbenga Sesan: He actually was one of the best young people nigeria ever had. He was the first IT youth ambassador in Nigeria, and he currently is a social enterpreneur . A friend of mine has once called me before to ask me if Gbenga knew me personally, and i asked why she asked. "He mentioned your name in an interview!" she said. I am not sure what Gbenga Sesan said about me, but being referenced is really thrilling.

Seun Osewa: i cannot but mention this IT freak who is the Lord and King of Nairaland.If you are an internet addict and you've never heard or visited Nairaland, then you must be surfing the countryside. Nairaland is a people packed website where over 100,000 Nigerians gather to discuss various issues. Seun is truly a great admin as its obvious from the sanity on the forum.

LondonChik: I love this diva. I love her every post, i crave to read every time. She's got stuffs, she's got something you really want to read. She is funny, ambitous, talented, brave.....and nice.
Londonchik simply brings out the other side of relationship that the geeky in me does not see. She is now an enterpreneur and that alone is a plus.

Chxta: I don't know why, but chxta can post and post and post. A die hard fan of Juventus, he blogs from the shores of the UK for now. He blogs on various issues that affects the normal human life. from politics to sports to educations, he romances with the blogworld by commanding a large audience.

There are many more of them.....For those up here, they've been of tremendous educational help, i doff my hat...and i'll keep doing.

No No No.......Long TIme no C...


And i abandoned this project for quite a while. I have been engrossed in sorting out some things online that i intentionally refused to update despite pleas from couple of people. Kunle, Tunde and Zeal......Apologies for the late post. I am glad at least that i won't be crucified since the saying goes that "a blog is meant to complement you".


I learn new things everyday. There is no doubt about that and i am seemingly enjoying it. The robot has reached it final stage and its out for sale. For those who bought it, they are already reaping the fruits of using the robot to work smart. For some time, i have had feeling that the Robot is going to be cheap, but considering the logistics and other factors, the price has been set to N20,000. I personally considered that very cheap compared to the work it will do.
There are so many perceptions about Forex. While some people consider it to be a money spinner, others think its an investment vehicle. I have romanced with this popular cutie for quite a while now and i consider it to be more of a profession. Last week, i was quite surprised when someone asked me if Forex is another company like PennyWise, Treasureline, Mustard seeds and the rest.....

I think we need to come to the realisation that Forex can be very risky, therefore requires month of practice. Until most Nigerians get to know that, so many people will fall prey to some fund managers due to their gullibility.
