Lagos Island : The Chronicles- Part 1

"Kookoorookoo!",crowed the hungry yet visibly rugged ,full-grown rooster . "Allahu Akba",cried the prayer conductor calling devout muslim faithfuls to prayer. "Fakeyi! Oguntunyise! Sangoseyeye!",yelled iya alalubosa of 4,Ewenje street,Lagos Island. "Wa! Ki lon se iyalalaya e. Ogun fe pa e ni",bellowed Apata aka the Rock,a hemp dealer who got angry at one of his 'soldiers' who had delayed in attending to his -Apata's- esteemed patron. Interesting,right? "Huph! huph! eleyi kan ju'yen lo", said a religious smoker of the kwe (hemp) to another patron and his friends. The dragged weed must have struck a chord like ding!

Soon afterward,"Yaba,Palmgroove ,Onipanu,Maryland! Oshodi! Oshodi! Ikeja, Iyana Oworo, Toll gate! Wole pelu shenji e o!", rented the air at a random yet consistent frequency. How else would the conductors call out on passengers? Send emails? Lol. I guess not.The passage of time from the early hours,interestingly characterised by various activities, gradually ushers in the Sun.

The bros get round,White face and round body. He no dey smile or laugh at all.If e smile small,na vitamin D e go give you. Once it gets angry,Jesu! It dehydrates the ocean outta yah. Thank goodness! Cold 'pure' water can do little wonder-helps refresh you. Like a flash appeared the 'pure' water vendor who yelled,"pure water tutu ree!". She continued,"buy your 'cool' pure water". Ahahahaha! I laugh each time i hear,"buy your 'cool' pure water".

Then comes the orisirisi phrases that fill the air from diverse customers at a popular Amala joint. You'd hear, "e joo e bu Amala sinu abo nla yen. E fi ponmo kan saki kan eja kika kan ati bokotoo meji si",said a gentleman with a protruding tummy that can best be described as Ikun Aleluyah. Still at the joint,you'd find customers of varying purchasing and eating capacities.Whereas some buy just one wrap of the black Amala decorated with eran orisirisi,others buy just one wrap with just a piece of meat or no meat at all.Worthy of mention is the fact that they -over 95%- eat with their bare hands. You need to see the way the abule abokis in Lagos Island eat the Amala with Okra. They literally rinse the engaged hand in the soup in the course of eating. The sight of that can be disgusting,but can you stop them from enjoy their meals? If i hear. Is it your money? Biko free them, jor! Lol.
Lagos Island... a place with a plethora of occurrences.
Stay tuned for the subsequent parts. Adios!

For every destination there are routes, pathways that lead there .Each Route has its unique Potholes, sharp bends, speed brakes, bus stops , commuters, and other individuals embarking on the same destination as you are. Don’t initiate a sharp bend on speed; do so carefully cos there might be a broken- down truck at the blind side. Do not overspeed so you don’t go past a necessary terminal. Slow down as you approach a speed brake. Engage other commuters in a conversation. Don’t keep to yourself to a fault. Those (speed sharp curves, bus stops etc ) are important because each route comes with it empowering lessons, experiences. In all of those, the most important thing is that for whatever path or route you choose to follow, Make Sure it is the one that leads to the Destination having taught you the required lessons you need to Thrive at the destination.

How to Make Your Wealth Grow without Fertiliser: 8 Gradual ,Easy Steps

It is common to see people get motivated by the financial status of wealthy individuals like Warren Buffet, Carlos Slim,Bill Gates , Mark Zuckerberg to mention a few,but few actually know how to grow their wealth. In any case, below are a few -maybe crude -yet effective ways to grow your income and become genuinely, financially independent :

1. Stick to a productive plan but edit it as necessary occasion demands : this helps you direct your energy through the right channel and to the right activities the right time ; Few or no wasted efforts come up.Not having one is like a man with his vision intact yet groping during the day ;

2. Have , at least, a second stream of income : This helps remove strain from a single income, making your wealth grow easier giving it nine lives ;

3. Pay your tithe regularly : This prevents your wealth from being spent on unnecessary gbese (debt),protecting your hard-earned cash from what the yorubas call agbanaa ;

4. Give and do so sacrificially : Doing so activates the release of wealth that normal savings or business transactions don't . The Creator blesses your business and wealth hugely when you do so ;

5. Let your past be your teacher,your present be a ship you captain , and the future be your offspring :Recalling your blunders from the past helps to navigate smartly now . Being the captain means you take charge. You don't just let the tide of a harsh economy sweep you to poverty ; you use the Word to decree what you want and follow up with coordinated,concrete, purposeful actions. As for the offspring , I meant the type of outcome you want with the kind of action you show "now". If you want beautiful , healthy-omo alalubarika- offspring (outcome) ,invest, give, save,spend wisely now ;

6. Save but only just to have cash readily available : The risk involved here is that inflation can set in thus dropping the value or purchasing power of the saved money. Rather than save you should INVEST on profitable ventures. If you have to save ,let it be towards a pressing thing you need do e.g renting a new house ;

7. Cultivate the habit of investing : This is one of the quickest ways to multiply your cash although the size of the profit you get is dependent on the amount invested. Besides, don't be scared to go all out/daring in the way you invest. Don't be too careful or over-daring in your investing. Invariably, take calculated risks ;

8. Spend only on items that are necessary using a pre-planned budget : If you exceed your budget, let it be for a venture that will generate further revenue, or you outrightly double the hustle. Better yet , activate another stream of income to help plug the gaps created by the exceeded budget .

In conclusion, this is just an ordinary article until the prescriptions here are put to real use or practised daily. Why not try them.

Good Luck!
