NAIJA YOUTHS ARENA

2023 is here, it's another 365 days to do life. We must maximize it to get the best out of the new year or allow it pass us by.  Below are 5 areas you should focus on to make 2023 a great year in our own Life irrespective of what other people are saying and doing. This is the most important of all, it influences every other area of your life. If you are spiritually healthy and eating balanced spiritual meals, the chances that every area of your life will be healthy is over 50%.  It's not 100% because you still need to focus and do work on any area for you to see progress there. But the spiritual is no one area to pursue stability. It influences and increases your chances at Financial, Relational and Physical health among others without doubt. I know from experience that I am fine in all areas to the degree my spirit is doing well. Every area picks up, finances, career, relationships etc. You become scattered, battered and defeated once your spiritual Health is out ...

Dear Nigerian youth, there is a mindset that is robbing you of your relevance and delaying your big break. It is the idea that "I am still a student" Question : What do you do for money? What is your occupation Answer : I am a student. Me : Like seriously? The mindset of  "School vs Labour market" That after  finish school then you enter the labour market. As if the two are mutually exclusive. Whoever said you must put your life, your ideas, talents and passions on hold because you are in school didn't tell you the truth. Whoever says you should  "concentrate in school" at the expense of your big idea and discovered purpose didn't do you a lot of good. That mindset has delayed and killed so many good ideas, talents and passions. It has stifled the spirit of creativity and reduced maximum productivity among African youths. The labour market is not waiting for you to finish school. Your destiny should not be played w...

3 THINGS HOLDING YOU BACK (part 3) I promised to do a 3 part series on the things holding you back from launching your ideas, they include: >> Perfect timing >> Perfecting your skills >> Start up Capital Bonus >> Where exactly to start from The first two posts are somewhere on my timeline you can check them out today i will talk about the 3 thing holding you back, which is: 3). START UP CAPITAL. Many business and valid  ideas have died untimely deaths because the Owners couldn't get past the "funding stage". I usually think it is very unfortunate. Every business that survives must go through this stage, because essentially Capital is a very indispensable factor of production. Ultimately every Idea needs funding with money at one stage or another, if not for start-up then for necessary expansion.  The problem becomes when the idea doesn't kick off at all on the excuse of "start up capital." Because you see; any...

Considering that starting is the most important step in a journey of success and maximum impact. Today the lets take the next major reason for inactivity NO 2. PERFECTING YOUR SKILLS AND IDEAS Many creative people are incapacitated by the need for perfection in their skill or talent. And they use this as a perfect excuse not to start working on their Big ideas just yet They safely say that they need more skill, more knowledge, better experience, more research, more and more of something else. This is understandable considering you have not done what is intended before, as a matter of fact nobody may have ever done it before. That's why its a big idea right? Take a look at Facebook today. Can you imagine the difference between the sophisticated platform we have today compared to the first ev...

If you really want to be poor as I suspect, this post will greatly help you. If not anyways you can take it the other way round. To be poor: 1. Never wake up early. Keep stretching and turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing. If there are no bed bugs, why hurry to get up? 2. Never plan how to spend your money. Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it is finished, you try to count and recall how you spent it. 3. Don't think of saving until you have real big money. How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs. 4. Don't engage in activities usually reserved for the "uneducated". How can you, a graduate, engage in petty trade, network marketing or home-based production? That is for people who never went to school! 6. Complain about everything except your own attitude and laziness. Blame the system, the government and the banks that refused to lend you money. They ar...

One thing to do if you want to be rich is to copy the habits of the world’s richest people. Nobody gets rich by accident but by deliberàte act  There’s a reason why the top 1% of the world is richer than the other 99%. It’s because of their habits and routines. They do things other people don’t and that’s why they have things other people don’t have. There’s no guarantee that these habits will make you a billionaire, but they’ll definitely make your life better. Here are five habits of the world’s richest people to copy  1.

Exercise is good for your mind, body and soul, and apparently your pocket too. Richard Branson and Mark Zuckerberg say that...

      Martin Luther King Jnr famously said “no lie can live forever”. I assembled a team of MMM critics and together we spent days researching the dark secret behind MMM’s unbelievable 30% return on investment promise. Our recurring question was “how has MMM consistently delivered 30% profit for millions of people”? We sought to find out first from participants, majority of whom seem not to have a deep understanding of how the 30% is being generated. Our questionnaire was filled with answers like “I don’t know o but it is real. You better join us”. Other comments include the following; “it is God sent, it is a miracle in this recession. God sent mmm”, “I think it is a fraud but I want to make as much as possible before they run away”. The feedback from our questionnaire left us with more questions than answers. A few people tried to explain that MMM operates on banking principles. This got my team and I more confused. We decided to visit their website to re...

         In this season of unsuitable economic conditions, there is a need to track ones expenses, to know where money is going to and what it is being spent so that we can curtail unnecessary spending and wastage. We can use our money more meaningfully and it can last longer. The unreasonable unemployment level in our society calls for youths who are starting up I  life to do something proactive about their financial lives    Saving money and accumulating it to be used in some business venture or investment is a necessity for Nigerian youths. But one cannot save money if She does not have the skills of tracking expenses     For many Nigerian Youths and students, it is not that they do not have money passing through their hands. It it that they cannot account for all that money. Not armed with knowledge and discipline, even those who have rich parents or Guardians or who are under scholarships of one sort with reasona...
