Proverbs 23:13-14 (King James Version)

13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

I belive in voodoo and dont think that "it" is evil at all . "Evil" or "Good" comes fromt he person that practices , this goes for anything , merely being alive could be considered evil. voodoo is an ancient religion (older than christianity) and i do see it as the religion of the african people, since it started in West Africa and only got to Haiti by the slave trade. the only reason that christianity is considered "better" than voodoo is because of the slave trade. Honestly, i think that africa could have been saved the abuse and torment and lived on happily practicing it's own faith , rather than having christianity shoved down it's throat. The only reason that i remain a catholic is that it is (for the most part) peaceful, but i still do beilive that voodoo is a great source of healing and guidance .

My pastor just said obj will die this year.I am waiting for the prayer to turn into reality.

As some posters have advised, I think it's better for you to split the money.

For real estate, 3- 4 million would get a plot of land with good title in a middle-income neighbourhood. You may wish to link up with @lawyer at the Properties section of Nairaland for assistance in this regard. Your rent payment indicates that you still have over a year to decide on your housing plans.

For the business, the balance of 4.5 - 5.5 million would kickstart your business operations even in your desired printing business. It might not be on the scale you initially envisioned, however, you may need minimal additional financial support from :

a.   A commercial bank
b.   An angel investor
c.   A venture capital or reputable financial institution

If you require a business advisory service for further consultancy, you can send a mail to blenheimresources@yahoo.com

All the best

also good advice in my opinion, 2nd best so far

EVERWIN:

First take a holiday, maybe abroad (europe). See everything from an other perspective.
Think, meditate and rethink.
Maybe you see something good to import to Naija. (I have some things)
Buy a sample of it and go back to naija.

Go to your village and buy farmland (use half million), employ there farmers (catfish, cassava,plantain)
Ask you're family and future wife inlaws what kind of small biz (hairdress, taxibus,market) they like, invest for maybe 8 people each N180000, for sure half of them going to fail you, but when even one succeed good, you're in biz. Stay on you're budget and don't let emotions carry you to give them more.
So you have land and food available and small source of income as backup.

Same time: Go to a good bank, don't say how much you have.
Open a Ltd. Start Import. Do everything officially, so you're going to qualify for many loans.

The things you buy abroad, you sell it double to customer in Naija.
Yourself put extra money on top like you sell it triple in the eyes of the bank, to get loan.
After doing this 3 à 6 months, ,naija bank freak out and offer you a loan or/and creditline (I know the do, so).

Employ you're father/mother/brother/sister that you trust on payroll and let them ask for loan or stand garanty for you.
You get loan for buying land at 2% and start building on credit.
Take the max. loans allowed and go inside more biz with it.
Like me, I like to borrow and borrow even when I have money, more money more biz possibilities and more profit.

Meantime your savings are used to generate many turnovers in your Ltd. Work together with real white europeans, not the fake libias or chinese.
Or work together inside a group with heavy famous bizpersons in naija.
And then stay alive in naija, becos friend/family/all the people want you're money and biz. Everyone want you then dead or alive and first like to scam you.

Let you're money roll in profitable investments again and again that you monitor personally, don't let it sleep in the bank, always ask the bank more loan to get more biz.

I also do not buy into the argument that Yorubas are cowards. They are not cowards. Cunning maybe! Not entirely bad, if it's one's way of achieving a result especially in a basket case like Nigeria. Survival strategy you can call it.
I just think that Yorubas are not risk takers. They are overly cautious. While on the other side of the coin, Igbo people are big time risk takers, hence their success in business. I have seen my father while growing up, put everything we got to the last penny into a project that has 5% of success and still comes out smiling, with everyone biting their nails in suspense. That is a typical Igbo man way of life.
So it becomes an impossible, any marriage between the Yoruba/Igbo in any sort of union or country. It is not going to work.
They both have their ways of doing things and those two ways are too wide apart from each other.

Eziachi:

. "You can't go all the way to the lands of the spirits to light your candle, only to extinguish on your return to the lands of the living".

aloy-emeka:


There is a wide gap between the southern and Northern psyche. Had Lord Lugard did his home work well, He should have known that Niger republic, Chad and Northerners together would have been a more prosperous trouble free nation while Southern Nigeria, Cameroun, Ghana and Benin Republic would have faired better. The marriage of Northh and South is akin to the marriage of Arabs and Jews in one nation.

[/quote]There is no honor in killing. The igbos in the South East can as well kill your people out of the blues, but they chose not to so that because they are not barbaric like the Northerners.
