Am one of the few who opines that Clubbing need not be in the VIP, rather, you enjoy the fun more when in the open bar/club.
This notion has been imprinted in my mind in most of my adult years up until the 14th of March, 2015.
The whole perception changed and i feel so aloof as to what i might have missed all the while.
The Venue - Ecstasy Night Club, situate in a highbrow area of Wuse II, Abuja.
Little wonder, many men are ready to expend all they've got and possibly go borrowing just to "belong" or "fit-in" to the upscale Abuja circle.
My experience......the night began with a cruise to the Caribbean, an equally upscale tempo night club. My vehicle isn't the commonly seen around kinda type, so there is a high propensity to turn and have a second look at it, whenever i drive by in your neighborhood. In essence, the bouncers and guards gave us a warm entry into the parking lot, and my friend and i were feeling so cool with ourselves.
Upon entry, we noticed a serene environment, every within and we walked right to the Bar. Curiously, i noticed that even at the open bar, there were wine bottles (henceforth would be referred to as Ororo!) on every table, even though it was the general bar. Out of curiosity, i asked the Bar tender ....why is this the case? He answered snobbishly stating in clear terms that ..... its Saturday, and on this day, you can only buy beer at the bar!
I exclaimed; wtf? So i told my parley to let us leave and hissed.....what the heck, though this was in my mind.
Our next stop was the aforementioned - Ecstasy Club. Same reception was accorded us at the entry, cause i was looking so fly.....just saying. Confidently, my friend says we should peep at the VIP, wherein i was so reluctant to do so . Reason being, to do VIP clubbing, you must purchase at least a bottle of Ororo - Billing - 25 grand. In my head, all i could see was 12 and a half bags of Dangote Cement to push forth my building!. Yeah, miserly, i know.
Upon having a peep into the VIP at Ecstasy - my friend saw someone he knew, and this person was so friendly and shook and hug both of us. They were 2 at their table. We were invited to sit and spend time with them. Alas, the alerted Bouncers were lax and became friendly with courteous smiles and salutes at us. Trust me, they didn't mean shit to me at the time, belated they were.
The VIP Clubbing experience began.
The ladies and men from general club arena were literally stretching their necks and winking at my humble-self. The experience was so mind-blowing. Less i forget, i am a stepper, but the scenery was so off the hook, that i didnt get to dance for 5 minutes.
As expected with the VIP, there were no rowdy sessions, and everyone was so at peace and friendly. The perception is - if you could expend 25 grand on a bottle of Ororo, then we are at par.
A man within the VIP kept walking to our table, and requesting to light his cigarette. This was astonishing because i kept imagining why on earth, cant this dude get to purchase a lighter. Right on his table were 3 bottles of Ororo - implication is he must have expended 75 grand within an hour on Ororo. On one of the walks for another light, he suddenly ordered for a bottle of Ororo to our own table. I had never seen this man in my life, he doesnt know me and tore up 25 grand - just like that. I could swear, if i met him on the street, outside the VIP and request for such for a project, he is gonna think am insane.
Just saying, the VIP experience could be worth it!

ABUJA - NEWLY ARRIVED DESTINATION
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, capital to the most populous African Country. The chaos is in huge chunk, the corruption is unbelievable and the natural resources availed to this Country leaves the human mouth - ajar!
The FCT is the technical seat of power - popularly referred to as the Aso Rock. This connotes where the President lives and controls the Country.
Some of the Government Agencies, Ministries and Parastatals could be found through the link.
More links could be sourced here
http://www.nigeriaembassyusa.org/index.php?page=parastatals
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_agencies
Here is the summary : - we got everything, name it! Human capacity, raw talent, crude-unrefined resources, mineral resources, stones - gem stones, population (above 200 million and still counting), crude oil, liquified natural gas (Ouch, we still don't know how to curb gas flaring).
An Abuja-wannabe, or intending settler in search of greener pasture comes right in, believing its all a bed of roses! Extreme goof with such thoughts.
Predominantly, civil-servant oriented a city. With this comes a chain of contractors, stereotyped-minded individuals/people with low-income but stable earnings. Band of followers, dogmatic Nigerians. No zeal to explore unknown terrains, nor new fields.
In all, you must be able to think out-of-the-box! Meaning, out of your brain capacity/capability. All about the survival instinct in you. Look beyond your nose. Learn to fill a need or vacuum. Quite pertinent to note that after all said and done, the conquest is worth it.
Stay focused.

www
Hello Folks,
How are you guys today? I got something to share - the oracle in the world wide web. The web is anything and everything. Regardless of what you might be looking for - its embedded in the web!
So lets categorically move further:-
1. Resumes/Curriculum Vitaes : Templates and free resume builders are out there in the clouds/skies in abundance;
2. Engineering or Mechanical problems : Regardless of the source, the anatomy and illustrative representation is out there. The engine design for every vehicle regardless of the manufacturer;
3. Illnesses/Pregnancy : An ABc on every thing from babyfriendly websites to characteristic behaviours in the toddlers right all through puberty;
4. Money Making Schemes: Equivalent of this is called the Google Adsense. Its so so cool cause this is where the proverbial addage ....."Content is King" is applied. Check this out - for merely posting stuff that could be educative and entertaining or informative, and surfers come to the site and simply move mouse across (Mouse Impressions) or click on articles or stories on your page (MOuse clicks), it all accrues towards earning you income. This kinda income is called a Residual Income.
5. All television and radio stations worthy of note all have an online presence.
There is a software for almost everything, making life seamless and enhancing business processes.

Life is short.

BUSINESS PLAN ON KEKE NAPEP
A main stay of commuting in the Federal Capital Territory.
Its presence is felt in the largest estate in West Africa - Gwarimpa Estate in Abuja.
The average price is N340,000 per piece and they come in varying colours and sizes. There are several ways you could Pimp-Your-Napep (PYN). Below are some of the ways:-
1. For wedding and events for the low-income earners
2. To have side doors, preventive during the raining season in a bid not to deter your clients
3.Also lightning for free and safe movements even at night.
The Napep projected profit earnings:
Cost Price : N340,000
Daily Delivery Price : N2,000 daily
Weekly Delivery price : N12,000 weekly
It is assumed that sundays are general maintenance and routine check days.
Fuel, Servicing and battery issues are so minimal and even when they occur they are at little costs.
Advantage of adding doors and lightning to your Napep are the non-restrictions it avails itself.
Back to the Maths:
N12,000 weekly, N48,000 monthly, hence, in 8 months : N384,000.00
I think its a pretty fair deal.
My case study was for the gwarimpa environment in the Federal Capital.
Its amazing how many people just hop-in and its become a way of life.
Just try.
Peace out.

embarking on this business. I would advice the Chinese trucks or a Man. diesel make. Financial breakdown
beneath: 2 Belgium trucks - 8,000,000 plus clearing at the Ports in Lagos into the mainland. Registration with a Quarry - 2,000,000 Extra tyres and took box per truck - 400,000 Total investment cost - 10, 400,000 And now start carting profit on the business laid down. Materials loadable: Stone dust Sharp Sand ( teething) Granites quarter inch Granites half inch Granites three - quarter inch Tonnage of trucks We do management and construction of buckets of tippers
to fit and gauge standardization in sizing/tonnage. 15 to 40 tonnes Profit projection in 6 months: A truck delivers 10,000 daily. A week amounts to 60,000; Sundays are rest days for the
truck and possible servicing. 240,000 monthly. For 2 trucks monthly - 480,000. In 6 months - you would earn each truck (240,000 x 6 months = 1,440,000) For 2 trucks in 6 months - (2 x 1,440,000) = 2,880,000. Salaries, servicing and fueling of the trucks are on the

My Mindset Right Now
Hello guys, its 7:57 a.m. in Abuja, Nigeria and i have been thinking of ways of creating a sustainable business venture without recourse to needing my presence.
i feel this is pertinent because it truly defines the term "Financial Stability" or "Financial Independence".
Unfortunately - Nigeria with her chunk of hiccups and anomalies, but nonetheless an authro equally said - in every hardship or loophole - learn to see beyond your nose-bridge and find that niche.
Yes - alas thats my inspiration this morning, finding my niche.
i am a Protocol Officer with the Government, but my take-home pay cannot take me home so i need to revert to something else that would bring extra cash earnings. so possibly, i need to share what i have in my head and learn how to convert that to some decent cash. In addition to this - daughter is resuming creche come September - 2014, clock is ticking and i aint got much time.
Still brainstorming and cracking my head.
A workshop/seminar/human capacity development would have been my quick-win.
Requirements:
Hall Space -
Courseware (Paper & CD)
Advert placements and publicity
Resource persons (2 people and my humbleself to spice faces on the podium)
Renting of a projector for content placement
Breakfast (Samosa and Coffee)
Decent Lunch (Good meal)
Certificate of Attendance
Group photograph (WHich ought to be uploaded on my site for further referrals)
Now - at least i have put this on paper, so would work @ it!
See you guys soon.......
