Avoid Ponzi scheme when investing

 Any investment that pressures you with "Put money NOW-NOW and cash out. If you don’t put money NOW-NOW, you will lose out." is almost always a Ponzi scheme or scam. Run from it.

In investing, urgency is a scam tactic.

Scammers use what we call the 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) to rush unsuspecting people into putting money without thinking or asking questions.

Now, this is the truth: Legitimate investments don’t expire overnight. Real investments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, treasury bills, real estate, etc. are never “invest now or lose out.” No! You can invest in them ANYTIME you are ready. They are always there, today, tomorrow, next month or next year. You can invest in them whenever you are done with your due diligence.

So, beware of anything that looks like "Invest NOW-NOW and cash out"

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

AVOID BUSINESS LOAN

 To be fair to Nigerian banks, loan credibility has always been a major challenge. Many Nigerians take loans from banks and fail to pay back, and in any economy, once credibility is weak, bank lending rates automatically rise.

As of today, the Nigerian Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) is 27.50%. This means digital and commercial bank lending rates should be around 15%–40%. However, some banks offer lower rates, depending on the borrower’s risk profile, collateral, type of loan, business relationship with the bank, and internal policies.

There are also some government intervention loans with interest rates as low as 5%.

The bottom line is this: Smart business owners don’t just borrow; they count the cost. So, don’t take a loan with an outrageous interest rate unless you’re certain you can manage it.

Men dislike their ex glowing

 Men don’t like it when they break up with a woman and the woman starts shining brighter than them. They expect her to cry, suffer, and run back to them so their ego can feel important. But the moment she raises her head up, moves on, and begins to do better, some of them become bitter and start obsessing.

The sad truth is, some of these men never move on. Instead of focusing on their own life, they sit down watching the woman’s progress like a movie, boiling with anger inside. This man here k!lled his ex-girlfriend two years after they broke up, simply because she was doing fine without him. Imagine that level of wickedness! For two good years he carried bitterness in his heart, instead of carrying his life forward.

Ladies, please shine your eyes 👀. Stay far away from this type of men — men whose love turns to hatred once you refuse to be broken. A man that cannot be happy for your success is dangerous to your peace of mind and even your life.

A good man will clap for you when you’re winning, even if he is no longer with you. But a bitter man will see your growth as a personal insult. Abeg, don’t wait to find out which one you are with. Protect your peace, protect your joy, and most importantly, protect your life.

Angel Reese wanted her signature shoes to cost $1000

 

🚨Reebok reportedly "laughed" at Angel Reese's proposal to price her new shoe brand at a whopping $1,000 per pair, arguing that her brand justifies the premium cost.

Reebok suggested $40 per pair, but after negotiations and strategising to promote her brand, they settled on $150 but felt concerned about the price tag.

"I have a massive following that would pay a lot to be in my shoes; I know my brand and my worth."
