‘TIS HARD TO BE A NIGERIAN BLOGGER WHEN THERE IS NO CREDIT ALERT IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AT THE END OF THE MONTH

Thanks to ijoshnetwork
When I started blogging about 5 months ago, I was averaging 50 articles per month because as a medical youth corp member serving the Federal government and also working with a Local government, I received at least two credit alerts in my bank account at the end of every month.

Now since I finished service, I struggle to average 4 articles per week, not because I have lost my passion or focus or there are no more articles to write, or any such thing, but simply because since I left Kano for Lagos, life has suddenly become harder.

I am yet to get a good job befitting my status as a medical doctor. I am therefore distracted as I have bills to pay and a lot of responsibilities- yet no more credit alerts. I can’t plan my finances the way I should, especially as a personal finance blogger. My company will be registered with 1 million shares, and I have a lot of running around to do. The only thing that has kept me going is the occasional private practice I do here and there. (But what if I wasn’t a medical doctor?)

More so, I have had to buy/add a 3rd internet network to my list of browsing networks (increasing the cost of running this blog) due to the erratic Glo and Spectranet networks I presently use (-meaning I now spend upward of N10,500 monthly for internet subscription). It has become increasingly difficult for me to Skype with my business partners abroad without interruption. I have not even mentioned the ‘NEPA’ issue too oh, and how much it takes to fuel my generator per week.

[The MTN plan I am adding is cool: it is similar to the former 4.5gb NIGHT plan, the only difference now is that you get to use the 1.5gb day plan strictly during the day, and the 3gb night plan strictly from 9pm at night disconnecting at 6am automatically. CODE is dial *120#, OR TEXT 120 to 131.]

If you have been following me on Facebook, you will notice how angry I am at the FG of Nigeria because they don’t do enough to support young, passionate and intelligent Nigerians, many of whom have ideas and dreams and do not want to steal or do yahoo, yet there is no encouragement from anywhere. The politicians claim to be doing a lot, I agree, but for who exactly?! -for themselves, I believe.  All they know is to steal billions of our money up there, and then come back during elections period to ask that we vote for them because of religious or ethnic reasons.

I remember while watching Nat Geo Wild on DSTV in the Doctors’ Lounge, when I was an intern in UCH, Ibadan, and some senior colleagues were abusing a full grown man chasing animals about in the bush as having no job. I told them to leave the man alone oh- at least he is following his passion and entertaining us thereby. If he does not do anything at all- just sitting at home all day- his government will still give him unemployment benefits. I told them to think of the many able-bodied Nigerian youths who have certificates, don’t want to chase monkeys or rats, but have no good jobs- what do we then say about those ones?


Leaving that aside, let me share with you some of the things my company, will do ‘cause I have a lot of plans for credicoinsnetwork.com. We will be organising thrice weekly free seminars for members of the savers network, on financial empowerment and ways of making money offline and online in Nigeria (most of which I have already covered on this blog, and others I am yet to cover) including the Savemecredit/Paymehourly idea.

I will be interviewing or having guest speakers for most of the seminars, and they will be experts in the different ways of making money, offline and online. In blogging, I look forward to interviewing other prominent bloggers like Linda Ikeji, Michael Olafusi, Ogunsanya Jide (of ogbongeblog.com- he was my junior in Ijebu Ode Grammar school) and many others. You will hopefully meet Aroma, Olatokun Lowo, and many others who have won millions on WWTBAM. You will also meet other young Nigerian entrepreneurs, including Gbenga ‘artsmith’ Dada, the owners of popular Nigerian sites such as Nairaland, Yomiblog, Bellanaija, Jobberman, etc. You will also have free financial tips and books and resources to move you to the next level.

The company will teach youths Forex Trading, and I will show them how to set up a seamless stream of income without them even knowing how to trade at all, using robots- so that they can avoid the mistakes I have made trading Forex from about 8 years ago since I learnt. (In case you don’t know how to do that, please read my article 'How to trade forex profitably II').

Don’t forget, if you have read my ABOUT ME, that my passion is to see you become very successful.
Yes, I look forward to motivating young Nigerians to take charge of their financial destinies, and become financially free and independent, without resorting to fraudulent or morally bankrupt means such as yahoo-yahoo, drug-peddling, and other such vices.

For those of you online, it will be presented as live webinars so you can follow us regardless of where you are in the world. They will also be recorded live and put on our youtube channel- now you know I have great plans for that site.

On the site, you will log in and make money from the word go, in any area you choose (from our 40 different ways of making money online). In fact, just logging into the site will pay you one credicoin. Lol.

We will also start a network marketing savings scheme which I designed myself (I told you about that in the article 'Making money online as a network marketer') that will empower savers who are also willing to make some extra money encouraging others to save. We hope to make mobile money become a household thing in Nigeria just as M-pesa has done in Kenya, and Ecocash in Zimbabwe. More so, this has been an idea of mine since 2009, so to eventually get it out there will be a dream come true.

[Talking about mobile money, what the present companies offering it in Nigeria don’t know is that for a new product idea to be accepted and used widely (especially one that has already existing alternatives), there has to be incentives. Anyway, let me not say too much on that now. I will let you know once our program kicks off, or cover it in an article here.]


N.B: The book Money Master The Game; 7 simple steps to financial freedom, by Tony Robbins is powerful and life transforming. Not that I don’t already know most of what is written therein, but to read everything all over again in one book, especially now that those same principles are coming from the ‘horses’ mouths’, is what makes it all the more exciting. Please get your copy. But I will try to get the e-copy available to any reader of this blog who ask for it.
Some of the unalloted shares of my company are for sale now for a token of $1000, to any private investor who is interested- please contact me. Please note that when you invest in my company, you are investing in a global idea, and not just a Nigerian or an African thing. I will tell you more when you contact me.

By the time we go public, you might have to pay through your nose to get one share by then if you let this golden opportunity pass you by. Even at that, offers are limited.
KK, that’s all on my mind for now. See you soon.

Oh! I forgot to thank Ijoshnetwork for doing that logo for me for free. Please visit their site and patronise them. Thanks.
