Resultant Effect of OPEC Meeting

Earlier on,  30 November 2016, members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC meet to agree on oil production cuts so as to beef up the lowly priced commodity. The OPEC members agreed to a production of 1.2 million barrels per day in January 2017; this will reduce the overall production to 32.5 million barrels per day.

Be Thankful, Be Content, Be Rich

"A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety." ~ Aesop

In just 13 words, Aesop captures within this quote the power of contentment and so much more than that. But who will hear the message through all of the seasonal noise?

As we Americans take pause to observe Thanksgiving, the hustle and bustle of the annual holiday often has us swallowing the feast of contentment without even tasting it. Rather than slowing down and peacefully enjoying the crust of simplicity, we feel it necessary to anxiously partake in a banquet of complexity.

Challeneges of Electricity Industry in Nigeria - Metering and Estimated Billing

Electricity Metering

An electricity meter or energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered machine. Electric utility companies use electric meters installed at customers' premises to measure electric energy delivered to their customers for billing purposes. It is calibrated in billing units, the most common one being the kilowatt hour [kWh].

Of Three Foolish Men: Arajamasanwo, Afipagbaowo and Aworanku.

Of three foolish men: Arajamasanwo, Afipagbaowo and Aworanku.

Arajamasanwo - The man who buys stuffs and would not pay.
Afipagbaowo - The man who collects his money by force.
Aworanku - The man who ensures to see the end of every story.

It happens that Arajamasanwo bought some wares from Afipagbaowo; based on his habitual tendencies, he refused to pay. Afipagbaowo, a man well known for collecting his money at all cost engaged Arajamasanwo in a fight to collect his money. In the ensuing fracas Afipagbaowo dealt a fatal blow on Arajamasanwo, and Arajamasanwo died.
Afipagbaowo was devastated on the thought that the money owed is forever lost; consequently, he vowed to collect his money at all cost even if it has to be in the spirit world. He picked up a knife and killed himself.

All along Aworanku who has been watching the event as it unfolds was saddened. He couldn’t bear the possibility of him not knowing the final outcome of the fight. He was hell bent on ensuring that he is up-to-date with events between between Arajamasanwo and Afipagbaowo in the spirit world; this, Aworanku quickly picked up a knife and killed himself.

Welcome to Nigeria where ....

1. Political thieves are becoming Arajamasanwo.

2. PMB's government are becoming Afipagbaowo.

3. The citizens are becoming Aworanku.

Bad Effects of Gambling & Why It is a Sin.

Wow!
It is being a long time I published an article here. I have got a special article written by mhisbliss on Nairaland.com

The Bachelor

Hello Dreamers, I saw a poem on facebook this I decided to share with you all. 

The Bachelor
If the pepper seller catches him wandering in the market,
she calls out to him,
‘My pepper is ripe, Uncle, and fresh, too’,
he smiles and buys.

A Gentleman

The vegetable seller not one to miss out, says,
‘You would need vegetables,
farm fresh, to make delicious stew, sir’.
The fruit seller calls, so does the fish seller, and his head becomes a chorus of womanly voices demanding attention
for what they can get from him.
He walks on and becomes the subject of their banters-
‘miserable man, greedy devil, he comes to the market by himself’.
On weekends, he would climb the lookout and he was sure to get a flash of teeth from the waitress at the eatery.
On nights, when the pots are clean and dry, there is the woman at the junction
whose fried yam, beancake, potato or fish would do just right.
The bread seller has her own nights- and on days when loneliness, that boring partner, squeezes her face too much, he runs to the lights, noise and spectacle at the shop of the beerparlour woman or stick with whatever the face of the foolish box amuses him with or keep his hand at work and his ears on the alert listening to the talkative radio.
But on cold nights that the body asks for
the warmth and salt of flesh while the affianced stands at morality gate denying a sleepover, he picks his phone to know if the equation of an ex would accommodate his why or steps into the streets where a night nurse is ready to give him medications for the tenants in his wallet.

The Differences Between Entrepreneurship And Self-Employment

I got intrigued by this powerful article 'Difference between Entrepreneurship and Self-employment; by Adeyemi Olumide. Enjoy!

The differences between ENTREPRENEURSHIP and SELF-EMPLOYMENT

A lot of times we do hear or read about the benefits of being self employed/entrepreneur. In fact, this seems to be the best concept to wealth. But not for once have I ever knew that there is a difference between self-employment and entrepreneurship not until I started reading business articles and books, listening to great business consultants - the likes of Fela Durotoye, Kunle Soriyan, Brain Tracey (these are my most favorites and role model) and so on. Then I sat down thinking every night, am I an entrepreneur or self-employed?

The Leicester City story: From relegation to champions

THE story of Leicester from April 2015 to present day is nothing short of phenomenal.

Sitting dead last in the Premier League and staring an immediate return to the Championship square in the face on April 18, 2015 not a single person could have predicted this...

The then Nigel Pearson-led Foxes won an incredible SEVEN of their last nine games in the 2014-15 season to evade the clutches of the dreaded drop zone.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
