OUR MONEY HAS LOST ITS VALUE, SO SAVING MONEY IS BECOMING A BAD IDEA*

If you are not capable in handling money then you will become uncontrollable in spending the money

Divide your SALARY by 30 days and see what you get (i.e. the number of days in a month and see the funny thing about your salary plan). For example,
(1) An average level-12 worker in the state government civil service earns NGN 60,000. And this translates to NGN 60,000÷30= NGN 2,000 every day. This is LESS THAN the amount made daily by an AVERAGE HAWKER in the city.

(2) A fresh EMPLOYED GRADUATE BANKER in most NIGERIAN BANKS earns an average of NGN120,000 monthly. ***So everyday, you get NGN120,000÷30= NGN4,000 as the daily value for your work-life. By implication, this is LESS THAN the amount earned DAILY by an AVERAGE DRIVER in the city and in some villages…..

(3) If you are a FRESH GRADUATE EMPLOYEE in some big companies, you earn an average of NGN300,000 monthly. So in a day your WORK-VALUE is NGN300,000 ÷ 30= NGN10,000 **** This is LESS THAN the daily amount earned by an IRRIGATION FARMER supplying vegetables to Lagos MARKETS, a TIPPER CAR DRIVER supplying sand for three BLOCK INDUSTRIES and CONSTRUCTION SITES just 3 times a day and DRIVERS of DANGOTE TRUCKS who have bought off the trucks at scrap value and are using them to convey products between villages and the cities for just five business owners etc.

This is to tell you that you can never attain financial freedom when you work for someone else or even in an oil company. You can only get there when you build a successful business and become an investor.

The problem is not the size of the money or the value of the money but the way you are been taught on how to use the money. Money is not the answer, but the answer is keeping it or investing it wisely, that is why the popular saying big man big problem, that is not the issue.

To be rich is not enough but also how to guide it. If you are rich then learn how to guide your wealth and how to manage your resources. So if you have that money and your planning is poor, that money will soon vanish, the reason why your income is not stable is because your planning is unstable. Having money is not the answer, but having the right planning.

*Money at hand has no value, money in the bank is useless, but money invested brings more money. Your money can only be useful when it has been converted into tangible resources*. Many people might still be wondering what is tangible resources or intangibles resources. These two has a lot to do with achieving greatness in life. Your money will first come in form of intangible (ideas) which you alone will convert it to tangibles. It is the unseen that begets the seen, so if you can’t calculate it in your mind you can’t arrange it with your hands.

Your mind is the first place your wealth will occur and the major reason why people are not getting rich is because they are not yet in line with what they want.

Before you invest, clear every depth and then make savings and investing your highest financial priority. This may be the first time you are hearing this, never owe any depths and think of investment.

Our money lost its value since 1971 that is when our money stopped being money and became a currency when it ceased being hacked by gold. That was the year our money became absolute and that was what prompted to People not getting rich working and depending on monthly incomes.

People are complaining of low income and high demand on that low income, still yet they don’t want to know what they will do to get out from the issue. Ones your income is low it will be affecting the chancing of you not getting rich.

*In Nigeria the income for an average man and fifty percent of people under middle class is very low and this low income is the result why none of them is rich. I have seen a family man, that earns #80,000 per month and spends #15000 every month in maintaining and fueling his car, REV4 private jeep and after spent #15000 out of #80000 the money left is #65000. The money remaining will rather keep him in middle class or ends him up poor. Because after bills and children school fees and all that, he will be left with nothing*

The more things are getting bad the more he is thinking of what to do with his income so that it will be enough for him and the family, a time came that he packed the car and start entering commercial bus to maintain his salary still yet things keep getting worse. This is to tell you that most times money is not our problem but lack of no financial intelligence, since the money that is coming in keep making the matter worse what do you think he should do.

While I was written this book I had a brief conversation with my mother about monthly incomes and its solution to free people from the limitation of long term monthly income, she said monthly income can never make you rich but can only make you comfortable, reasons that most middle class people are saving money to solves problems so their money will always go into what they kept it for. I wasn’t surprise because she said that out of experience. If you closely look at what is happening around you, you will notice that people that are getting richer are the ones that don’t play with investment

The rich are getting richer because they know something the poor and middles class doesn’t know, not only that they hang out with their fellow rich people also.

Until you change the idea and language you have toward money, you can’t make adequate use of it. Money is a slave to the rich and master to the poor. To the rich they control it while the poor has no control over it. The poor thinks that money is only meant for the rich that they have no access to it.

After this I will tell you why the educated ones still serve and work for the rich , people didn’t went to school. For you to know that money will only have value when you invest that money in something that will double that money. To me the poor know nothing about dreaming big, the poor has a small dream and that is why they are small and will remain small. The people who dream small, think small, and work small still do the hardest part of the work and are paid least amount of money. If you do not dream big you will appear small.

Money at hand has no value, money in the bank is useless
Until it is converted into tangible assets

Dilemma   conveys the story of a naïve girl who is surrounded by all
sorts of stories about her sexuality and physiology in relation to sex. She was made to believe that she will never have that curvy shape that every woman desires until she permits a man to dissert her legs and deposit some ‘ice cream.’ Ironically, she discovers that Mercy is wild yet thin and Amarachi preserved and chaste yet robust, weighty
and and has very scintillating curves.

Her confusion is reinforced when she visits the hospital and her breasts are caressed by the doctor during examination. However, education remains the tool which equips the female child against long held superstitions.

These story is written based on feminist background, which seeks to enlighten the
woman on the subject of her subjugation in the society.

It also cover those cultural and patriarchal attitudes that trammel women’s desires,and aspirations. Here, the writer has tried to raise the consciousness of women to the reality of their living conditions.

The woman should be encouraged to view into her world without using the binoculars of patriarchy. It is therefore the aim of the writer to reveal some of the features not necessarily caused by patriarchal system, as found in other feministic works; but to introduce the concept of self exposition as against self inflicted naivety.

The writer at this point advocates that, the woman should be acquainted
with the fact that her body is different from the man’s body: that there is something essential about her body which if used, will enable her overcome patriarchal repression and regain control of her personality.

Thus,the woman should be enlightened on the value of her own body first,and when writing, she should start with herself. It is also through writing that her voice can be heard and she can be able to challenge the phallocentric tradition that previously, imprisoned
her in her own silence.

Statement by His Excellency Edward Turay at the Black History Month Event organised by TONY FERNANDEZ At the British House of Commons – London 26th October 2016

Good Evening;

I. OPENINIG

It is indeed a great pleasure and an honour for me to be here today to celebrate Black History Month with all of you.

While living in forced political exile in the United States of America, I was fortunate to become acutely aware of the importance of celebrating Black History Month. Thus I wholeheartedly commend my good friend, Tony, for promoting today’s initiative.

2

I am gratified to see that through the celebration of Black History Month, the contributions made by peoples of African descent throughout the world, continue to be remembered and honoured.

When discussing the importance of Black History Month, inevitably the legacy of slavery still holds a haunting place in our collective memory. For Africans residing in the Diaspora, especially those in the United Kingdom and America, it is an opportunity to understand the impact of slavery on the lives of those of African descent, and how this experience has impacted their perceptions about the continent of Africa and its peoples.

II. TRANS ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE AND Sa. LEONE.

I will now limit me to brief commentary on the nexus of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Sierra Leone.

A). Sierra Leone slave experience

Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, that is bordered by Guinea to the north and east, Liberia to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west and southwest. It covers a total area of approximately 72, 000 km 2 (28,000 sq mi) [ and has a population of 6.5 million ]

4

European contacts within Sierra Leone were among the first in West Africa. In 1462, Portuguese explorer Pedro da Cintra mapped the hills surrounding what is now Freetown Harbour, naming shaped formation Serra de Leão (Portuguese for Lion Mountains). The Italian rendering of this geographic formation is Sierra Leone, which became the country's name.

Soon after Portuguese traders arrived they were joined by the Dutch and French; all of them using Sierra Leone as a trading point for slaves. In 1562, the English joined the trade in human beings when Sir John Hawkins shipped 300 enslaved people, acquired 'by the sword and partly by other means', to the new colonies in America.

Between about 1750 and 1800, Bance Island in Sierra Leone was one of the major slave trading operations on the Rice Coast of West Africa. Bance Island (now Bunce) is located in

5

the Sierra Leone River about twenty miles above modern Freetown. It is a small island, only one-third of a mile long and uninhabited today, but in the days of the Atlantic slave trade it was an economically strategic point. Because Bance Island was at the limit of navigability for ocean-going vessels, it was the natural meeting place for European slave traders arriving in large sailing ships and African traders following the rivers down

from the interior.

As early as 1672 the Royal African Company of England established a commercial fort on Bance Island, also concentrated heavily on supplying slaves to one particular market—Charlestown, South Carolina where local rice planters were eager to purchase slaves from Sierra Leone and the neighboring areas.

It should be noted that In 1787 the British helped 400 freed slaves from the United States, Nova Scotia, and Great Britain return to Sierra Leone to settle in what they called the "Province of Freedom. This settlement was joined by other groups of freed slaves and soon became known as Freetown.

In 1792, Freetown became one of Britain's first colonies in West Africa. Thousands of slaves were returned to or liberated in Freetown.

Most chose to remain in Sierra Leone. These returned Africans- or Krio as they came to be called– were from all areas of Africa. Cut off from their homes and traditions by the experience of slavery, they assimilated some aspects of British styles of life and built a flourishing trade on the West African coast.

A). Effects and Legacy of Sierra Leone slave experience

Sierra Leone was not immune to the dastardly effects of the slave trade. The effects included:

Loss of population:

7

 Millions of Africans were lost. The strong, fit, young individuals were mostly desired.

Society was disrupted:

 Tribal wars were frequent

 Laws were changed, making crimes punishable by slavery

 People felt insecure

 Little development or modernization took place

Cities were destroyed:

 Population in cities decreased as people fled the cities to avoid being captured

 Without cities civilization suffers It was dangerous to live in large groups

Africans were looked upon as inferior:

 Africa was seen as a source of cheap labour

 Blacks were thought of as being less intelligent

Overall Impact:

8

Slavery destroyed our civilization, which is a root cause of the underdevelopment of the continent of Africa today. No society can afford losing its youth for four hundred years without paying an enormous price.

During a ceremony to commemorate the 220 th anniversary of Britain’s banning of the trade in slaves from Africa, Ghana’s former President John Kufor noted that: “ . . .through this dark era of human history, the…human spirit…could not be broken," he said. He added: "Man should never descend to such low depths of inhumanity to man as the slave trade ever again."

At the same ceremony South Africa’s jazz legend Hugh Masakela blamed the slave trade for Africa’s current economic and social woes:

9

"We have seen the manipulation, the impoverishment of Africa…That is [proof of] the effects of slavery… There is no price, no price for what has been done,"

British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent a recorded message expressing "deep sorrow and regret" for Britain's role in the slave trade.

III. CONCLUSION

In concluding, I again commend TONY for promoting today’s initiative and thereby providing us an opportunity to remember and honour the memory of our people, as we often say in Sierra Leone, “If you do not know where you came from, you  sure won’t know where you are going.

Thank you for your attention.

She is the youngest person to be called to the bar in 600 years and at just 18, Gabrielle Turnquest has already become used to questions about her age. By 12 she was ahead of her classmates. She started her first degree at the age of 14, graduating two years later on the day she also graduated from high school. “I guess it feels really good to have a law degree,” she says, “rather than the age part of it.”

Not many people knew how young Turnquest was at the University of Law, where she was studying with her 22-year-old sister. Most of the other students were in their mid-20s, although there were much older people too.

“I think once people figured it out, there was shock,” she says, “I think that we had assumed that I was the youngest but there hadn’t been any confirmation. Then it was all over with and we got back to studying.”

Turnquest is the third of six children. Are they all high achievers? “We try to be,” she says with a laugh. Their mother can take much of the credit for their academic success. A lawyer from Nassau in the Bahamas, she moved the family there from Florida when Turnquest was a child. Deciding the school system wasn’t challenging enough for her bright kids, she spent several months researching curriculums from around the world, looking at which countries were doing best in which subjects and why.

Then she turned all that into her own educational plan, rented space in her office building, hired teachers and enrolled her children on to a programme she named Excelsior Academy. She even made a school uniform for them.

Turnquest insists there wasn’t any pressure to excel. In fact, she says, because she wasn’t comparing herself to her peers, she didn’t really know what was expected of her. She just soaked up as much information as she could take, regardless of what age range it was aimed at. “My mother never gave us the impression that we were expected to complete everything,” she says.

When Turnquest was 12, the family moved back to the US and the children went back to schools. By this time she was far ahead of her classmates.

When she got to high school the following year, she was able to take more advanced courses and she started a degree in psychology when she was 14. Turnquest’s university classmates knew she was still a high-school student, though most assumed she was a senior (around 17).

When a mentor suggested she might not be taken seriously as a counsellor at such a young age, Turnquest thought about what to do next. Her sister had applied to study law in London and she thought this would be a good next step. “I guess the same could be said [about her age] for law, but it seemed as though there would be more opportunities to do behind-the-scenes work and the age thing would never come up.”

Although she could have stayed in the UK and become a barrister, she now plans to work as a lawyer in the fashion industry – she starts an apparel industry management course in the autumn, while studying for the multistate bar exams.

So, does she ever feel that she has missed out on anything, that she has moved too fast? “I guess I missed out on going to university with the people I knew before, but I’ve met a great group of people going to university the way I did. I now have this time to figure out what I’m going to do next and I already have a degree, so I have more opportunities open to me. I honestly don’t think I’ve missed out. I don’t think there was anything I could have done at 15 or 16 that I can’t do now – just with a law degree.”
