I get am before

Yoruba Amaka!!

Wow.. Interesting

It’s obvious we now know the REGION that has destroyed this country.

The REGION that destroyed this country is simply the region that has always dragged us back.
Same REGION gives other TRIBES the highest number of WRONG NUMBER CALLS ever recorded on earth.
NIGERIA will never get better, because the TRIBE that is responsible for decision making and socioeconomic decisions in Nigeria, was never shortlisted above.

They always relegate themselves academically.
They always avoid public fora or debates
They always rely on numbers to achieve their aims, so they keep populating the nation.
If only the TRIBES listed above can come together and harness the potentials in this country, leaving those who always want to drag us back.


I guess u now know this TRIBE,
Work the ANSWER yourself.

First professors in Nigeria from certain region, others � up dia....

Wow

It's obvious the western part of this country cherished education when everything was working in their favour.

Will comment when this gets to front page

How legit is this, how possible could there be no northerner?

An average Western and southern parents would push there kids to school at all cost even with beatings at times compared to their northern counterparts who rely on government to buy them motorcycles and bicycles before they attend school but that hasn't helped in anyway right now has it with the likes of our so called scholars chanting and worshiping a cattle rearer who can barely make a complete sentence and has no idea about any meaningful thing around him....

No single Northern

OP forget to put Professor Muhammadu Buhari

First Nigeria Professor of Hardship and Suffering (Daura, Katsina State)

This was in the era of no quota system

Get RID Of being UNPRODUCTIVE once and for all This Year.
==========================



Stop.



what you're doing right now and READ this IF you want to be more PRODUCTIVE this year.




What i want to drop here is NOT
surface knowledge...




But... Secrets that can help you get INSANE results like never before




...Irrespective of WHAT YOU DO.




This should be my first post here..




Come closer...




...and Listen closely to what I'm about to say...




Secret #1: Your TALENT can be your CURSE or LIMITATION if you DON'T know HOW to put it to good PROFITABLE use.




Most people THINK that what LIMITS them...





Is because they don't have X or Y.




They ARE WRONG!




What LIMITS you is WHAT YOU HAVE but know NOT HOW to use.




Ronaldo has a talent in running and dribbling for instance,




he puts it to good PROFITABLE use THROUGH football.





This now leads me to the next secret...




Secret #2: Talent without a PLATFORM or CHANNEL can't generate PROFIT.





Woah... That's strong right?




Stay with me...




There are people around you who ARE TALENTED if not MULTI-TALENTED





but yet... make NOTHING off it.





It's plain simple: They've got NO platform.




Picture these folks for a min:



Messi = Football
Mark Z = Communication App (Facebook)
Usain B = Race Tracks
Robert Kiyosaki = Real Estate
Genevieve Nnaji = Acting
J.K Rowling =Writing
Zara = Fashion Designing
Sylvester Stallion = Acting




They've all got a PLATFORM or CHANNEL to use their GIFTS/TALENT




Think about it




By the way, did you know J.K Rowling was the first writer to reach the $Million mark through her "Harrypotter" series?




Okay...




back to what I'm saying....




You NEED a platform to start generating PROFIT.




Bottom line: Find yours.




Secret #3: WEALTH can't be achieved but CREATED.




What!?




I'm not going to go deep in this.





Having had opportunity to sit down, research and studied some "wealthy" people...




something was very SIMILAR




which differentiates them from not just the poor but also the rich...




They've all got SYSTEM(S) in place.



Listen to me...




WEALTH is an accumulation of RICHES.




You can attain, earn or even achieve RICHES but not WEALTH.




Well, that's just okay for now.




There are other mystical secrets...




But these ones should keep you thinking and help you be productive.




Before we part ways...




It's IMPORTANT for you to know that...




whether it's trying to put your talent to good profitable use or choosing a platform...




You NEED to BRAND yourself in order to STAND OUT from the rest.



You can shoot me a message: 08182834190



let's check some things out if you're a right fit... then we work together and BOOST your productivity this Year



Have a great year ahead.
