So, over the weekend, I received an email from this lady.


She was asking for just one thing. And this particular thing has been bordering her for sometime now.


I will tell you about it if you read this post to the end.


You know in Nigeria we come up with parties for everything.


Naming ceremony...Birthdays...House warming...Weddings...Homecoming.


Here, we party for ANY reason.


You see, we are Nigerians. And guess what…we love to party!


There was even a recently alleged claim (as reported in the news) that "Lagosians spend up to N36 Billion Naira annually" on parties.


Even at that, our parties are still THE BEST. No one anywhere in the world party like we do here.


The flamboyancy of the host. The aura of the venue. The “aso ebi” dressing. The foods. All of these even makes our parties more different.


So, this lady was seeking for my suggestion on how she can eat healthy, when she is at a party or on a dinner date with her spouse.


But, as a certified party lover myself; rather than reply her email alone, I decided to share some of my own helpful tips to her.


This tips are what you too can use to eat healthy whenever you go on a dinner date or at any party where delicious foods are staring at you.


Meanwhile, let me ask you...


Have you ever been to any party and you have foods there staring at your face?


If you are the type that attend parties regularly, you will agree with me that eating healthy can be very difficult, especially with the various assortments of foods on display.


But you know what...


I discovered this tips that has been helping me and many of my friends at the moment to eat healthy whenever we are at any Owambe party or dinner party.


And these tips are:


One; Don’t Go On An Empty Stomach


Before you leave home for the party, ensure you eat a healthy meal that fills your stomach.


Eat healthy meals that is rich in vegetables, Fruits and Protein e.g. Vegetable or Fruit Salad.


When you have a full stomach, you are less likely to binge on foods at parties because you will not feel all that hungry.


Two; Eat In Smaller Quantity


Let's say you are served a big plate of pounded yam and your choice Vegetable soup with assorted meat...


...divide the food on the plate into two, and eat only half of it.


When you are done with the half, leave the other half on your plate.


There is no reason to feel guilty for not finishing your meal. Your health is important here.


When you do this, you would have limit your body from over eating on fattening foods.


Three; Avoid Sugary Drinks/Alcohol


Alcohol, Packaged Juice, Soft drinks are usually served at parties. Ignore the drinks and go for water instead.


Water contains no calories at all, and not only that, it helps your body revitalize itself.


You can have fun without alcohol or sugary drinks.


And beside, processed juice usually contains added sugar. If you must take juice at all, you need natural fruits juice.


When you get home, use your juicer to make your own orange juice from natural fresh fruits.


Four; Be Picky About What You Eat


Eat more vegetables & chicken rather than lots of pounded yam.


Go for the “moin moin” instead of the entire bowl of fried rice.


Eat the fish stew & Eat more vegetable salad served as sides (as long as they did not anoint it with fatty salad dressing).


And finally…Relax and enjoy the party.


Felicitate with your host and ensure you appreciate them for hosting you.


I hope you’ve learn’t some tips you can use to eat healthy when next you attend your next Owambe party from this post.


I wish you good health in life.

I Will Rob Peter and Pay You, Paul - Everything You Want To Know About This Scam Called MMM
========================================

In 2001, I was a starry eyed University student, who was desirous of making it big in life and becoming rich.

I was looking for businesses opportunities that would make me a lot of money. I tried different things.

In 2003, November to be precise, I stumbled on internet marketing, through Success Digest magazine.

Over the next few years I would try almost everything published in the paper - affiliate marketing, information marketing, Google Adsense, you name it.

In 2006, one particular money-making scheme came up which attracted hordes of fans. That scheme was/is known as HYIP.

What's a HYIP? It's called a High Yield Investment Programme.

Basically how it works is this:

You put in some money, and then every day or week, or month, depending on the particular HYIP website you registered with, you would earn a percentage, maybe 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 50% and even 100% again depending on the HYIP site.

It looked so easy. Just put in money and wait for sometime and bam! You get a percentage.

It looked too good to be true but nothing tried, nothing gained, right? So I gathered my school feeding money and bought eGold (remember them?) worth $50 and "invested".

The following week, my money had "grown" to $100. My HYIP company paid 100% of your money every week. My oh my! I was totally sold!

Now to make more money, I needed to reinvest my money which was now $100 which I promptly did. The following week, I had $200.

Gaddem!

So I went round school preaching this stuff. I even preached it far more than the guy who introduced it to me. I got others to "invest" and with each investment they did, I was scheduled to be paid a 10% "commission bonus" for the referral.

I went looking for more money to borrow to invest because my thinking was, if I had gotten $200 with just $50 in two weeks, imagine how much I would get if I invested $500!

The guy who introduced me to it went to his Mum, borrowed her retirement gratuity and invested another =N=500,000, roughly about $5,000 then!

That week he had earned $13,000 including commissions!

Sheet!

I could see my riches coming. My dream cars, my beach house. I prayed to God morning and evening thanking him for remembering me.

It was like a blessing for everyone, and naturally people poured into this scheme.

One day, I got a call from Nonso, the guy who invited me. He sounded desperate, his voice shaky as he asked me if I had checked my HYIP account. I said no.

"What's the problem, I asked?"

"I can't see the money in my account anymore", he said. "My money is gone."

When he said that, I felt my heart sink, my stomach turned and I suddenly felt sick. If I remember correctly, I think I pissed a little hot urine on myself.

"Where are you?" I asked. He was at a cybercafe town, so I jumped into a bus and went to meet him.

As I was logging into my own acount, my mouth was dry but my account opened!

"Ah! Thank God" I said.

Anyways, Nonso had requested for the HYIP company to send him $7,000 out of his $13,000 which was perfectly okay to do. You were allowed to request a payout anytime you want, between Monday - Friday.

However, after he had placed the request, he logged in a few days later, and his balance was no longer there. It had been wiped out. In fact the page that showed your account was no longer opening.

"It must be something wrong with your account I said. Have you emailed them?" He had emailed, but got no reply. Called the numbers on the website, but they were not going through.

So I placed a payout request of $100, and suddenly, my own account balance was wiped out.

Sweat started forming on my brows. I refresh the page again and again, still the same thing. The account balance page was no longer opening.

We went back to school hoping that things would change. It didn't. It took me several days to come to terms with the fact that my $200 abi $50 was gone forever.

Someone in Iran, Russia, Ukraine, only God knows where had taken my money and it was gone.

Nonso's mother's gratuity was gone. All the monies by those I introduced? Gone! I and Nonso became almost like outcasts in the school. Nobody wanted to deal with us anymore as far as business was concerned. We were blamed for the con.

Why am I telling you this story?

Because lately, I have been receiving offers from people to promote a ponzi scheme called MMM.

They tell me it's a business. That it works. That people have been paid money, blah blah blah.

I want to use this piece to write an article and wash my hands off this matter once and for all.

MMM is a ponzi scheme. Simple and short. I have been in business long enough to smell a scam from a thousands miles away, and this one is a big scam.

It's the return of the HYIP days of 2006.

Ponzi scams reinvent themselves every few years, change their name, wear "new clothes" and come out as the newest best thing since sliced bread.

In 2008, they returned as wonder banks - Nospetco, Gradual Investments, etc. In 2010 it was Clickviral. In 2012 - 2013, it was "Oil and Gas Investment" companies. Today it's MMM.

MMM is a scam. It is not a real business.

A real business has A PRODUCT to SELL, a product that adds value to the person buying it. There's an EXCHANGE of value between both sides - the buyer and the seller.

MMM doesn't have that. Rather it "pays" you a "commission" to refer people. Where does it get the money to pay these commissions? For how long can this be sustained?

What product does MMM sell? Why does an "investor" take his money and "gift" it to some stranger, and then wait for someone else to choose him and also "gift" him too?

If you don't get someone to choose you, then you wait and your money "grows"? Grows? How so? With fertilizer? Where will MMM get the money to pay you this percentage from? Will they steal it?

The most alarming thing about this stuff is this mysterious program is based in Russia. Russia? Are you kidding me? Anyone who knows anything knows that Russia is a country full of murderous mobsters who run illegal gambling operations, money laundering and prostitution rings.

They have since forever created similar programs to mop money up, transfers their illegal funds and pay off people to kill their rivals.

Are you unknowingly helping support a Russia mafia boss and putting innocent people in danger while perpetrating money laundering, illegal gambling and prostitution?

I will not be surprised if the EFCC swoops on the people who run these and guess who they will come after? Yes you the big gun who is pushing this everywhere.

And no, you cannot blame Buhari for your misfortune when it happens.

Frankly, it amazes me that people who should be knowledgeable are pimping this MMM stuff.

It's a scam. And it will collapse like all ponzis do. It's just a matter of time. If you really care about your audience and want their good, not just money that will enter your pocket by doing a seminar, then you will NEVER promote that shit.

It speaks volumes about the mentality of the general masses that they always gravitate towards a business "opportunity" that requires, "no work" and no "effort".

NEWSFLASH: The only way to make money is to actually provide something of value to another person in exchange for cash, not to give someone money and then wait for another person to give you.

What nonsense is that?

This is my last say about this MMM and similar cash gifting programs. I do not want any part of it. I do not wish to receive any further enquiry about it from anybody.

And please, next time before you come into my inbox with some frivolous questions about a program, do me and you a favour, fire up Google and do some research about it FIRST.

Thank you.

P.S. Please permission is granted to share this post if you want to.

Blessings.

Although there are so many reasons why you should not get romantically involved with a co-worker but office hook ups are laughably inevitable. For Chinedu who spent at least 8-hours at work everyday with people begets very close relationships. At times confusing admiration for a crush is equally unavoidable. Chinedu’s company had guidelines against office romance but following the rules seems impossible not only to him but to some of his colleagues too.

He was a very young man, very smart and energetic. He wasn’t too ugly and hamson. But always very confident in performing his duties at the office. He was also in his late twenties, full of knowledge, strategies and concepts which he usually applies to get good results in the line of his job. Though he was hard working, he hardly had time for any other things than that of his job and work place.

He had no or little time to socializing and making new friends outside workplace. He literally lived at work. He leaves for work as early as 5:00AM in the morning and comes back very late at night. He spends one third of his time performing office business related activities.

He was a single man seriously in need of a relationship but the nature of his job becomed a hindrance. After reading about a study report of “Career Builder of 2011”, where it was stated that about 30% of all workplace romances lead to marriages. Since his job doesn’t give him chance to look outward, so he resorted inwardly in search of his missing rib.

He clicked a relationship with Ada his company’s secretary, whom he had been admiring since she was employed to work with them in the company. They started dating in disguise. They promised themselves to keep their love affairs off the office premises so as to avoid suspicions from the company’s management and co-workers. They tried as they could to hid their romantic affairs but it didn’t worked as they had planned. It later became an open secret in the office amongst their colleagues.

Chinedu’s problem in the office started when Cynthia, a female staff who had a crush on him, whom he never acknowledged for once, started encroaching and harassing him on a daily basis, persuading him to have sex with her. She used every slightest opportunity she had working in the office with Chinedu to make him succumb to her antics, but he remained resolute and unresiciprocal to her advances. She kept on molesting and threatening to inform the management about his affairs with the company’s secretary. While all this were happening, Chinedu did not bothered telling Ada about his ordeals with Cynthia.

Cynthia didn’t stopped and Chinedu too never accepted. So one day in the office, Ada decided to go say ‘hi’ to Chinedu in his office, she barged in and before her eyes was Cynthia, who was forcing herself with an unbuttoned blouse, exposed cleavage, as she tries sitting on Chinedu’s laps while he shoves her off. The incident added another problem to the ones he already had.

Ada became so dumbfounded and irritated that she immediately broked into tears and left angrily. She didn’t gave Chinedu a chance to explain and rushed into conclusions. She drewed a thin line. The bitterness from Ada over what she called betrayal on the part of Chinedu, created a lot of vacuum in her duties. She hardly concentrates in her work and always lost in thought. Pains and worries could only be traced all over her. Her character, attitude and manners of approach changed automatically in the office. She had a fire of anger raging in her to the extent that she hardly walk passes Chinedu in the office without letting him know how bittered she was through her actions.

Having seen the kind of situation he had brought upon himself orchestrated by Cynthia, Chinedu started brainstorming on what next to do concerning his job as all of his efforts and that of his friends to calm Ada’s nerves down didn’t produce good results. To him, he knew that the highest thing that would happen is that, it’s either he resigned or he gets fired by the management. So he started sneaking out of the company with excuses to distribute his CV. For weeks, he was never invited by any company for interview. It then dawned on him that “There Was No Job in The Country”.
