TIITHES, GOD AND YOU (A MUST READ)

Leadership of the church rants and raves about their right to keep the general mass ignorant? Can the mass simply say that it’s our duty to give and not to ask, or God forbid, influence what is done by our contributions? Granted, on a micro level, every individual is responsible for their personal decision in regards to giving; but in the communal aspect of giving, the mass population is threatened into tithing with fear of being punished by a curse as decreed by God!  

 My dear believers, God will not withdraw his blessings simply because you did not pay your tight.

ITS NOTHING UNTILL WE CALL IT NOTHING

In the late 1800s, an Italian sociologist and engineer, Vilfredo Pareto, became known for his controversial theory that alleged the superiority of the "elite" class. That unfortunate (and now discredited) theory was used to shore up the ideology of fascism which brought misery to millions.

But he was also known for applying mathematical principles in the realms of sociology and economics, and while his now-refuted "law" of the "trivial many" and the "significant few" holds no meaning for us in terms of the value of human beings, at least one of Pareto's ideas does still hold water in other areas.

OSAZEE AND DAYO HIS SON

There on upon a time, there was a farmer by the name of Osazee who relied heavily on his sons to help with planting, cultivation, and especially to bring in the harvest. But Osazee had only one son named Dayo, strong, strapping fellow, of whom his father was very proud.

One day, as father and son were walking to the fields to begin the harvest, they were so caught up in their conversation that Dayo didn't notice where he was stepping, and in a flash he had fallen and broken his leg.

"Oh, no!" his father cried, "This is terrible!" And, in truth, in those days a broken leg WAS a grievous injury, one that could even result in death if left untreated. But soon the doctor came and set the leg and assured both men that it would heal just fine.

BUSINESS AND THE FINIANCIAL CHOLESTOROL

Quick! What's the very first thing that springs into your mind when you read or hear the M-word?  (M-o-n-e-y.)  For many people that first thing isn't necessarily pleasant. And for others there's a fleeting flicker of delight as they imagine having plenty of it, winning the lottery or the like, which just as quickly fades into a more familiar "not enough" feeling instead.

It's not surprising. After all, most of us have been carefully trained, taught, even indoctrinated our whole lives to believe that money is scarce, that it's hard to come by, that only people who have any ever get more, that it's the cause of all the world's troubles ... and on and on and on. Loads of heavy baggage packed with negativity on the simple subject of something we really cannot do without. So since we already KNOW that we attract/create our own experience through our thinking, how about we just Unpack some of that mental baggage and ditch some of the seriousness so we can stop creating and attracting more stuff like THAT?

CHAMABERS OF COMMERCE REPORT (NIGERIA)

 The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has said that no fewer than 800 companies in Nigeria closed shop between 2009 and 2011 due to harsh operating business environment.

Dr Herbert Ajayi, President of NACCIMA, gave the figure on Tuesday in Asaba in a paper he presented at a zonal workshop on economic diversification organized by the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

Ajayi said that more than half of the “surviving” firms had been classified as “ailing’’, a situation, he said, posed a great threat to the survival of the manufacturing industry.
He added that capacity utilisation in industries hovered around 30 per cent and 45 per cent on the average, with 100 per cent overhead costs.

He blamed the continued decline in the manufacturing sectors on “political and economic factors’’, citing poor infrastructure and epileptic power supply as key impediments to the industry.
“The manufacturing industry as a whole operates on more than 70 per cent of energy it generates; using generators and operating these generators greatly increases the cost of manufacturing goods,’’ he said.
The industrialist gave other reasons for the woes in the sector as incessant increase in the price of petroleum products used by industries, multiple taxation, unabated smuggling and inadequate access to finance, both local and abroad.
According to him, widespread insecurity and the inability of government agencies in the ports to meet its 24-hour target for cargo clearance have contributed to the dwindling fortunes in the manufacturing sector.
The NACCIMA president, whose speech was delivered by Mrs Mary Iyasere, Vice President of the association, described current government policies to revive the manufacturing industry as inadequate.

MILLIONAIRS WORD

I don’t know about you, but during my growing up days, becoming a Millionaire was seen as an extreme and far off achievement. When the Mercedes Benz drove past, we looked at the driver with complete awe and amazement. Those who became Millionaires were regarded as almost living in another world.
 
A few decades ago, that might have been an understandable way to view Millionaire status. I would like to suggest to you that it’s a very dangerous way of viewing it in 2012.
