1st Quarter Musing

2683076467_862ca24b75_mOkay, the first quarter of the year has ended and it is good to do a general appraisal of one’s activities and project for the next quarter. This first quarter has been very enlightening to me; the rise of dollars to the naira and the container blockage at the port hindered me from importation but I was able to dig within myself to engage in other forms of commercial activities. I have been teased many times for dipping my hands into so many businesses and I could understand how this perception may come about.

 

 

So, let me attempt to correct this mistake; I am a professional blogger, a social entrepreneur and a business consultant. These three sides of my professional life are themed into empowering Nigerians financially. As a professional blogger, I go into Joint Venture (JV) with so many guys that are interested in sinking their products; we go into various deals and I make sure the readers of this blog get a discount from the market value of whatever I offer. I make sure I spend time in validating the authenticity of the products before I offer them to my readers. This is a win-win situation.

 

 

The business model is just like a TV station that generates money through ads. This works quite well with me; all the people I enter JV with smile to the bank and my readers get a sizeable discount on goods sold. 286 plots of land have already been sold in the SET GARDEN estate and a sizeable amount was bought by readers on this blog. The Realtors of the land gave me a huge discount; land that was valued at 900K was given to me at 410K Naira. Those that knew the value rushed it at the price but the land has however increased to 510K after my initial deadline. The Realtors have given me till 3rd of April for the 510K offer because they plan to further increase the price after this date; if you are interested in getting it at 510K, click HERE.

 

 

As a social entrepreneur, I import social-conscious goods like tricycles, motorcycle parts, helmets, etc that empower below-average Nigerians financially. I enter partnership with some companies in India and China in order to make this work effectively. At the beginning of this year, I sold Helmets and I sold it all off; this blog played a huge part in getting it done. I was able to sell it at a lower percentage for my readers than other channels. 3 weeks ago, I got another consignment of helmets and it remains just 400 pieces; for the entrepreneurs (mostly out of Lagos) who want to make quick bucks from selling helmets, can contact me by clicking HERE.

 

 

As a business consultant, I do some marketing consulting for some up and coming companies in Nigeria; I hope to do more on this but more jobs are coming from out of Nigeria. This quarter, I also met with some of my readers personally and gave them information on “Importation from Vietnam”. I actually enjoyed this meeting very well and I sold e-books to those who could not attend; this e-book was written by the Vietnam Czar; it costs 6K – if you are interested, please, click HERE to download the NDA and send the scanned signed copy to dipotepede [at] poetsolvers.com.

 

 

2477864311_9b9a8d95a1_mI also launched my podcast this quarter, if you have not seen it, click HERE. I am not yet a pro at speaking to a mike without the presence of a crowd but I am sure I am able to pass across the message. I also did some speaking engagements this quarter which were quite memorable. I am also accepting bookings to speak; please, kindly click HERE to get an overview of the kinds of speaking engagements I accept.

 

 

This quarter, the dollar kept rising and rising but I was able to proffer two solutions to hedge this economic killer; earn money in dollars and convert your money to universally acceptable assets. To earn your money in dollars in a weekly basis, I introduced those who had $250 capital and were interested into this program. I am also going to introduce 10 guys who are very ambitious and smart the secret of trading in bullion gold in the London Open Market. I am very sorry; I may not be able to produce any e-book for those who miss this opportunity.

 

 

This quarter, I was able to interview only Marwa Rakha – the relationship expert. I hope to do more interview in the next quarter. In the next quarter, there would also be more mouth watering deals and I am also hinted of the possibility of some land deals in Agbara. I may also do some more roundtable seminars if I am still in the country. There would also be more “thought-provoking” articles and podcasts. Please, always remember to pop in.

 

 

93522083_63ab5d716b_mI want to use this opportunity to appreciate my readers who have been there with me all this while. I also would need your FEEDBACK on this site; just tell me what you think about the site – either good or bad OR both. The person with the most heartfelt critique or praise would receive a surprise present from me; you would truly appreciate this present. Please, kindly use the comment box to air your opinions. Thank you very much for reading through; may God grant you all you wish for in Jesus name; Amen!
