Would the sole reason you would be starting your own business be that you would want to make a lot of money? Do you think that if you had your own business that you'd have more time with your family? Or maybe that you wouldn't have to answer to anyone else? If so, you'd better think again. On the other hand, if you start your business for these reasons, you'll have a better chance at entrepreneurial success: You have a passion and love for what you'll be doing, and strongly believe -- based on educated study and investigation -- that your product or service would fulfill a real need in the marketplace.

 After the death of the Boko Haram Leader we hoped there would be a dramatic end to the killings in bombings in the Northern part of Nigeria, but from all indications it doesn't appear to be so. According to Vanguard news this morning, some suspected members of Boko Haram sect yesterday attacked Shaffa and Shindiffu villages of Hawul Local Government Area of Borno State, killing one Pastor Eliud Gwamna Mshelizza of the Living Faith Church, a teacher (names withheld) at Government Girls Secondary School, Shaffa, and 18 other persons who were mainly Christians.

 Most aspiring Ladokites are still under a lot of tension due to fact that they haven't been given Jamb admission although they passed both their Jamb exam and Post Utme. So the question now is "Will they still be given admission?" Well, Lautech hasn't said anything concerning this issue 'officially' yet, but from what we've gathered there are still chances of them being given admission. The first batch of admission was released on the Jamb portal sometime last month and only about 50% of the candidates were given admission, but to our greatest surprise as last Friday, 13th September,  some candidates who weren't given admission at first were finally given. Our inference from this is that there is the possibility of a third batch of admission to be given! We encourage all waiting candidates to be patient and keep praying while we hope for the best. *wink*... N.B: This post is based on logical observation and inference, not an official state...

Earlier this week Lil-keshi posted a pretty disturbing tweet about his hit song 'Shoki' being banned by the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission(NBC) for reasons which were and still are quite unclear.

Many people have been doubting Prophet TB Joshua’s video that a suspicious aircraft flew over the building in his church on four occasions, at close intervals and close range, before the building collapsed. But this photo has further thrown light to the development. It was captured by a member of the church.

The Rivers Commissioner for Health, Sampson Parker, on Wednesday said there were 340 Ebola Virus disease (EVD) cases under surveillance in the state. Parker made the remark in Port Harcourt during a sensitization workshop at Ogu, in Ogu/Bolo local government area. He said the state government was not in a hurry to reopen primary and secondary schools because of the situation. Parker stressed that government would announce a date for re-opening of public schools after assessing the situation in the next few weeks. The commissioner advised people of the area to imbibe a healthy life style to avert contracting the disease. Parker urged them to always wash their hands with soap and water. “We want schools to reopen as soon as possible, but we are still assessing the situation before we can do anything,’’ he added. He called on the people to always report cases of deaths and stop the habit of burying dead bodies in a hurry.

Yahoo - The Ebola virus is currently causing a devastating and unprecedented outbreak in West Africa, but could the virus create a doomsday scenario by turning airborne? Although one infectious-disease expert has voiced concern that the Ebola virus could gain the ability to spread through the air, others say this scenario is extremely unlikely. What's more, an "airborne Ebola" might actually be a less dangerous virus than the strain involved in the current outbreak, experts said. Last week, Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, published an op-ed in The New York Times in which he argued that the ability of Ebola to become airborne is a real risk that virologists don't like to talk about publicly. Currently, Ebola can be spread only through contact with bodily fluids, but each new human infection with Ebola gives the virus a chance to mutate, Osterholm said. "If certain mutati...

 We’ve seen this photo making the rounds on social media today, but we’re finding it so hard to believe it’s real!  Allegedly a half naked gospel singer by the name of Only 1 Harmony wore this to perform at a Riverside Church in New York. The text and photo were posted on Facebook by an outraged congregation member, claiming it’s not praise and worship, but “Perverted praise & whore-ship”. ***

A strong solar flare is BLASTING its way to Earth, but the worst of its power looks like it will barely skim above the planet and not cause many problems. It has been several years since Earth has had a solar storm of this size coming from sunspots smack in the middle of the sun, said Tom Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado. The flare on the sun barely hits the "extreme" on forecasters' scale, but with its worst effects missing Earth it is only looking "potentially strong" at most when it arrives at Earth as a solar storm, he said. New calculations from satellite data show that the worst of the energetic particles streaming from the sun likely will go north or above Earth this time, Berger said late Wednesday.

 There has been quite a rave about how insensitive President Good-luck Jonathan is because of the 2015 election campaign sign that was put up in Abuja. But there's more to this news. The president completely denied any knowledge of the signs and banner, he said they all done without his consent. Whether the denial is true or just a political stunt to save his ass is unknown to us, but whichever way, the sign posts and banners have been order down. See more info... Yahoo - Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the removal of signs and banners that mimic the social media campaign to release more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls, his spokesman said on Wednesday. Reuben Abati said the head of state shared the view that the #BringBackGoodluck2015 signs, apparently backing his re-election next year, were "offensive and repugnant".

The new Mercedes-AMG GT has been revealed and it's fitter than ever as it it goes head on with Porsche 911. In the world of German luxury cars, there are no prisoners taken among Mercedes-Benz, BMW and the newly combined Porsche-Volkswagen conglomerate. Yet in the half-century since Porsche launched the 911, Mercedes has never brought out a sports car that matched the 911 head-on. That changed today with this: the Mercedes-AMG GT — a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive, 463-hp tourer that takes dead aim at the 911 and others.

The federal government is reportedly considering banning the sale and consumption of “kpomo” (animal hides and skins), and guess what! It's not even because of Ebola Virus. According to the minister of Agriculture, Nigerians are consuming way too much kpomo which is actually meant to be used in the making of leather and exchanged for high dollar return. Akinwunmi Adesina, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, reportedly indicated that the ban may be implemented as a means of “curtailing the widespread consumption of hides and skins as Kpomo which ought to be tanned into leather for a very high dollar return to the farmer and Tanneries,”  Adesina made the announcement during the 3rd joint anniversary of Animal Science Association of Nigeria (ASAN) and Nigeria Institute of Animal Science held at the University of Ibadan. But Kpomo/Ponmo is considered to be a delicacy for many Nigerians and an attempt to ban it's consumption might actually be catastrophic! W...

 Cameroon said its soldiers had killed "more than 100" Boko Haram fighters during an attempted incursion by the Nigeria-based Islamist insurgents, while across the border thousands continued to flee the group's advances. The Cameroonian army dealt "a severe setback" to Boko Haram during clashes in the north of the country on Saturday, government spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary said in a statement read out on state radio. The statement, which could not be immediately verified, said Boko Haram militants fired two shells on the town of Fotokol in Cameroon's northern tip, on the border with Nigeria. "There were no casualties reported on the Cameroonian side," the statement said. "Our defence forces responded vigorously with mortar fire aimed at the positions held by units of the Boko Haram terrorist group. The Cameroonian response resulted in over 100 deaths among the aggressors." The Boko Haram militants were pushed back towards...

Yahoo News: Lagos (AFP) - Nigeria's aviation authorities on Wednesday said there was no evidence for the US claim that one of its air marshals was attacked as he tried to board a flight in Lagos. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday that the marshal, who was on duty, was attacked with a syringe on Sunday and was undergoing treatment in Houston, Texas. A spokesman for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Yakubu Dati, said in a statement that officials were aware of the reports and had been in contact with US diplomats. A security team from the US mission in Nigeria had reviewed security camera footage from the Lagos airport of the air marshal, he said.

On Tuesday afternoon, Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced the biggest iPhone in the device’s seven-year history. And then, five seconds later, he announced an even larger one. Yes, Apple unveiled two new iPhones on Tuesday — the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus — both of them with the biggest displays of any smartphone in Apple history. The iPhone 6 features a screen measuring 4.7 inches diagonally, while the iPhone 6 Plus is even larger, at 5.5 inches. Both devices feature rounded edges and are slightly slimmer than the iPhone 5s.

The new iPhones contain an NFC chip, which allows for so-called contactless payments. Apple’s Passbook app can now store your credit cards securely, and you can choose which card you want to use at...

 Ok, this might seem funny and all but it's definitely true. If you're honest enough with yourself you may even find yourself guilty of one of these very obvious money wasters. (i'm totally guilty of a couple of them, hehehe). 1. Unnecessary Parties It is estimated that Lagosian's spend close to 40 billion naira annually on parties alone . Most analyst have argued that most of these parties are completely unnecessary and most times do not add value to either the host or the guests. 2. Insisting on Designers, Labels, and Brands From groceries to clothing to prescription drugs, you can save money by choosing an off-brand over a fancy label. And in many cases, you won't sacrifice much in quality. Clever advertising and fancy packaging don't make brand-name products better than lesser-known brands. For example, generic drugs can cost as much as 80% less than their brand-name alternatives.  3. Shopping at the wrong store If you are Parti...

Baby Jonah is making headlines in the UK! The Daily Mirror published a story with the headline “Black mum gives birth to WHITE baby in 1,000,000-1 odds that baffled midwives“ Catherine who is of Nigerian parentage and her husband Richard who is white, expected their baby son to look “mixed” but when he was born, he was so white that she was convinced the midwives had brought her the wrong baby. Doctors have said the baby is not an albino. Financial analyst Catherine said: “Some children get darker after a few weeks when the skin colour they will have for life starts to become obvious. But you can see from the colour at the tips of their ears what that will be. We saw straight away that Jonah was fully white.”

Well that's what you get for practicing animal cruelty *angry*. A man, his two children, and two others died in Odareko-Uchenyim village in Cross River State on Friday after eating the cooked flesh of a dog that had been poisoned. The dog had reportedly been a nuisance to villagers, as it frequently ate the eggs laid by a native chicken in the village, according to Vanguard. One of the villagers decided to get rid of the dog by poisoning it. The individual is said to have laced the eggs laid by the chicken with Gamalin 20 insecticide. When the dog ate the eggs, it fell ill, and when it was almost dead, its owner killed and cooked it as a delicacy.

There is none like Patrick Obahiagbon! The former legislator who currently works as part of the Edo State Government, represented the Governor of the State Adams Oshiomhole at the 2014 United Nations International Youths Day which was organized by Rise Networks at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). The topic of Patrick’s speech was “Job Creation for Youth in Nigeria”. Patrick delivered the speech with lots of passion and his usual infusion of interesting words. The students listened intently and also cheered him on whenever he dropped his “word bombs” while some consulted their online dictionaries and took notes. Watch the Speech below.

One of Africa’s richest women and chairman of Famfa Oil, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija yesterday August 27th revealed that she never went to a university, saying one does not need a university education to make it in life. Mrs Folorunsho Alakija said this while speaking with students of the University of Lagos during the 2014 UN International Youths Day in Lagos. “I come from Ikorodu, Lagos state. I am married to a dashing young lawyer of 70 years of age and we have four grown up gentlemen and grandchildren. It has not been a rag to riches fairytale. It has not been an overnight phenomenon like some cases which you find here and there all over the world. For as long as I can remember, I had always wanted my own business. Hard work…am trying to tell you how I got to where I am if you want those billions. Hard work, diligence, persistence…days where you nearly gave up but I chose not to give up.”
