INVEST YOUR MONEY AND WATCH IT GROW.

Get employed now on BIT4VALUE company

Research had it that the poorest groups of people in the world are Salary earners, next to beggars. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, managed on 30 days. Salary is continuously being awaited every month and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment.
Salary is a short term solution to a life time problem.
Salary alone cannot solve your money problems.
You need multiple Sources of  income to balance.
The tax return form contains about 11 income streams, of which salary is just one.
Don't live Life fishing with just one hook, there are many fishes in the ocean.

Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not to  CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty.
Most investors are not salary earners.


The difference between those beggars on the street and salary earners is one month salary. Truncate the flow of their salary for one month and you would realize that majority belong to the  lower class.  
If you divide your salary by the rate of exchange, you will discover that you are poorer,  relative to when you started work.
Or divide your salary per annum by 2,000 hours to know what your one hour is worth.
If you do not have 3 months salary in savings, you are already poor.
Being a salary earner is a mentality, break It!
Your worth is far more than your salary.
Salary is the value someone has put on your effort. How much do you valued yourself?
You can't increase in value, unless you value yourself differently.
Life is a trade off between time, effort and reward. To  be rewarded more, you have to become more valuable.
Most salary earners end up poor in the long and short term.
I therefore urge every one of us to be FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT, FINANCIALLY LITERATE and OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES IN PROBLEMS. Delve into entrepreneurship because salary is a lifetime disappointment.
Being a salary earner or investor is a décision. 
Life Will not change until you decide. Make the move!

Join us and earn between $500 to $1000 weekly.

Why corruption is increasing in Nigeria, by FG

Why corruption is increasing in Nigeria, by FG

From AIDOGHIE PAULINUS, Abuja

The Federal Government said yesterday that lack of values was responsible for high level corruption in the country.
This is even as it said that over-dependence on government for means of livelihood, is breeding corruption, noting that one of the reasons why there is corruption in Nigeria is because the economy revolves around government.
Minister of Information Labaran Maku, stated this yesterday in Abuja during a press conference which x-rayed government’s key achievements in 2013, saying for a long time, people are rated by how much money they have and not by their capacity to do things.
Maku referred to United States President Barack Obama, who generated more money from contributions from the masses during his campaign and won the election, saying in Nigeria today, most of the time, you find people saying, has he brought working material?
“When they say working material, they are talking about money. That is high level of corruption. The highest corruption is for you to sell your votes for money.
“When you are talking about leadership, you are not looking at quality.  You are looking at whether the person has money. That is the highest level of corruption and that is making it impossible for people who have knowledge, who have capacity, who are sincere, who are honest and they want to serve this country, they hardly ever get through because the voters put so much emphasis on money so that politics then becomes something for the highest bidder.
“So, I cannot deny that there is no corruption in Nigeria. I believe there is corruption in Nigeria because even sometimes, if you go to religious organizations, you go to Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs), there are problems of poor management of funds sometimes. We have poor management of funds.
“And sometimes, our public officers, if you look at the pressure on public officers here; I am going to London and I passed through Number 10, Downing Street, nobody is hanging there. You won’t find anybody there. So, our system needs a lot of reform,” Maku said.
Noting that laws alone cannot stop corruption in the country, Maku further noted that it was a matter of conscience.
“But even then, I believe that fighting corruption also involves making the system inhospitable to fraud.
“As we approach 2015, you will notice. Everyday, somebody would sit and say hey, they have stolen forty-something billion, one hundred billion. It is aimed at getting headlines to make the government look bad. When you ask them to bring the facts, they don’t have.
“I, who is talking to you, I read the headline that I have stolen one hundred billion in one of the national newspapers. So, the truth of the matter is this; abuses are still taking place in Nigeria. We need a lot of work,” Maku noted.
On the economy, Maku said Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP),is one of the fastest growing in the world, noting that the growth rate in 2013, was put at 7.2 percent by the  International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He also said there was stable exchange rate as the dollar exchange had remained stable in the last two years between N155 and N160.

PDP reacts to calls for Jonathan impeachment

Abuja - The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) issued a stern warning to the All People Congress (APC) over calls for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“We have noted with utter disdain, the reckless and irresponsible call by the APC on Sunday for the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan.

"Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s latest vituperations in the service of his paymasters with a response, but we thought it necessary to warn that the Federal Government will not standby idly and let the nation be plunged into unnecessary crises and political instability because of the desperation and apparent readiness of the APC spokesman and his gang of power-seeking desperadoes to sacrifice the well-being of the country on the altar of their selfish personal ambitions,” the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Reuben Abati, stated from Abuja.

He said the presidency totally condemned the decision by Mohammed and his party to “move further beyond the bounds of honourable and acceptable political conduct with the senseless call for the impeachment of a president who continues to sincerely devote himself to the discharge of the sacred mandate freely given to him by Nigerians.”
“The APC, which remains a minority party with doubtful credentials in the National Assembly, knows fully well that its attempt to hector and blackmail a parliament dominated by loyal members of the president’s party, the PDP, into an impeachment process, will come to nothing.

"But it has cavalierly embarked on this outrageous gambit, with scant regard for peace, order, security and political stability in the country, in furtherance of its dastardly and heinous strategy of over-heating the polity and working to cause public disaffection against the Jonathan Presidency with lies, false accusations and unjustifiable indictments ahead of the 2015 general elections.”

The APC’s calls come amid accusations of the Jonathan’s administration’s criticized stance on corruption and allegations PDP was training snipers to quash dissent.

“We urge Nigerians to take special note of this boastful indication of an intention to resort to lawlessness. The presidency warns that the APC and any persons who make themselves its willing tools for the breach of public order and safety will be made to face the full sanctions of the law.

"Those who are threatening fire and brimstone should be ready for consequences of treasonable action. The APC's false copy-cat allegation that 1 000 snipers are being trained by the Jonathan Administration clearly shows that they are now in cahoots with some other elements who are bent on discrediting this administration and inciting the public against it.

"President Jonathan is running a people's government. He does not need any snipers. His legitimacy comes from the people. Those who are alleging the existence of snipers should step forward and provide the evidence or shut up forever and go down in history as spineless cowards, driven by sheer greed and indecency,” Abati stated.

He described APC’s call for the President’s impeachment as opportunistic, partisan and ill-motivated.

“We dismiss the APC’s call for the President’s impeachment as opportunistic, partisan and ill-motivated. We call on patriots to make the necessary distinction between such reckless violations of civic duty and the urgent need to protect the integrity of the Nigerian nation against those who for selfish reasons have declared their readiness to stop at nothing.”

WHAT TO KNOW TO HELP YOU STAY FIT THIS SEASON.

10 tips to stay slim over Christmas

 The sooner you try out these tips, the more prepared you will be for the holiday foods.

1.    Activity compensates for extra calories
Give yourself the gift of 30 minutes of exercise a day. In addition to burning calories, exercise also helps to relieve tension – so you are less likely to eat to control holiday stress.

2.    H20, H20, H20
A little water goes a long way – small sips throughout the day are a smart way to keep well hydrated. It acts as a shock absorber and joint lubricant, helps to transport nutrients and eliminate waste, and works in regulating body temperature. Even better, water has no fat, no calories and no cholesterol.

3.    Be a food snob
Don’t waste precious calories on everyday chips or biscuits. Be selective and choose only the foods you really love, or that you associate with the season.

4.    Bundle flavours
Variety might be the spice of life, but it is also a recipe for overeating. Bundle together similar flavours. For instance, put only salty (or meaty) foods on your plate at once. You will grow tired of that specific flavour more quickly and end up feeling satisfied on fewer calories.

5.    Pare down those portions
Try to keep your portions small and make only one visit to the table. Choose the smallest plate possible. Pile greens and other tasty veggies on your plate first, leaving just a little room for those high-calorie treats like sweets and cheeses. Eat small, lower-calorie meals during the day so you can enjoy a special treat later – just make sure you do not starve yourself for the party and overeat later.

6.    Step away from the table
 If you don’t put your choices on a plate, you have no idea how much you are really eating. The worst thing you can do at a party is stand around the table dipping into the bowl.

7.    Drink slimmer
Alcohol is a double whammy during the holidays.  It tends to weaken your resistance when it comes to eating, and the calories in drinks add up quickly. Sip on a glass of water between cocktails.

8.    “I paid for it, so I’m going to eat it”
Don’t feel as if you need to clean your plate just because you paid for it. Put part of your meal right away into a take-home container. Portion sizes in restaurants can be two to three times the amount you need. Instead of the usual starch and vegetable sides, skip the starch and double the veggies instead. Stop eating as soon as you begin to feel full.

9.    Zen Yourself
Holidays can be stressful. Keep expectations for the holiday season manageable. Organise your time and make a list and prioritise the important activities. Be realistic about what you can and cannot do. And don’t forget to schedule some down time to relax.

10.    Slip, don’t slide
If you eat three helpings of mashed potatoes and half a pie, all is not lost.  Rather than polishing off the rest, learn from your slip-up. Next time, eat a salad first, start a conversation, and park yourself far from the danger zone. The next time starts today.

David Livingstone

HISTORY MAKER

"A Privilege Not A Sacrifice"

Livingstone is best known for his accomplishments as an explorer as he was the first man to map Africa and the first European to discover many areas of Africa. What is less known of Livingstone is the immense suffering he endured in order to reach Africa with the gospel of Christ.
By Kevin Thiemann
Besides living in Scotland, David Livingstone was a man on track to successfully accomplish the "American dream",only something went horribly wrong. Born in 1813 and raised in a humble Scottish home, Livingstone set his heart on achieving success by becoming a medical doctor. He supported himself through college and was accepted to medical school in London. Livingstone graduated with honors but not before his life goals would be rearranged by the words of one Dr. Robert Moffat.
While a student in London, Livingstone had the opportunity to hear a message presented by a missionary doctor from Africa named Moffat. Moffat reported,
"I have sometimes seen, in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages, where no missionary has ever been."
These words burned in Livingstone's heart ultimately compelling him to give up his small ambitions in order to join Dr. Moffat as a missionary in Africa. David Livingstone lived the next 30 years of his life as a missionary and explorer in Africa. He traveled over 29,000 miles preaching the gospel, providing medical services, building churches, and mapping the vast African continent.
Livingstone is best known for his accomplishments as an explorer as he was the first man to map Africa and the first European to discover many areas of Africa. What is less known of Livingstone is the immense suffering he endured in order to reach Africa with the gospel of Christ. He was once attacked by a lion on the mission field crushing his shoulder to the point that its mobility would be hindered for the rest of his life. Livingstone married and deeply loved Mary Moffat (the daughter of Dr. Moffat), but because of the difficulty of travel and various sicknesses he would spend more than half of his 18 years of marriage separate from his wife. The couple lost a child to sickness on the mission field, and later Livingstone also lost his beloved wife to sickness on the mission field as well. During his time in Africa Livingstone once went 3 years with no correspondence from his family because the letters were unable to get to him.
After all of this here is what Livingston had to say about the price he paid to live as a missionary in Africa.
"People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much time in Africa. Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paying back a small part of a great debt owing to our God which we can never repay? Away with the word in such a view and with such a thought. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege." (written in David's journal late in life)
David Livingston lost his wife, a child, his health, and gave up a comfortable future living out what we know as the "American dream." Instead he eeked out an existence in the bush of Africa for 30 years. After all that suffering Livingstone says it was a privilege, not a sacrifice. Why? By the grace of God David Livingstone bought into a dream far bigger than himself and a comfortable life. Livingstone lived to participate with God in the greatest of possible adventures. He gave his life for the glory of God among the people of Africa.
