MONEY MATTERS: SMALL STEPS TO 'SECURING THE BAG'

Image
By


"I am chilling on the throne, I am an old man in a young body," were the lyrics a popular Nigerian musician lent to our approving nods and dancing feet a couple of years ago.

 Little did I know that I 'd have to make reference to him at a point in time.  If you are a young person and you are at a loss on how to get your 'money game' rolling in this era then you are a young man in an old body.

 'Man' here does not literally refer to the male gender. It points out to both genders.

 Technology came with communication, social media, a spin around our not-so-great photography game but it came with Fintech too which is an innovative use of technology in the design and delivery of financial services and products. The application of fintech cuts across multiple business segments, including lending, advice, investment management and payments.   

 Fintech is actually fast being chased by her brother TechFin. What are all these jargons that I am even talking about?

 I will break it down like broken chinaware plates. With the aid of this innovation, you can create free invoices (for the entrepreneurs), get loans (if you are willing to pay back), make investments and receive payments. So why go about like you don't have resources when they are an inch away from your nose. Let me do a proper introduction!

 Meet your financial partners;

 PiggyBank helps you stop excessive spending by allowing you to save and invest money you would normally be tempted to spend. Another cool aspect of it is that you get to earn over 10% interests on your savings. 

 Invoice.ng and Waveapps help you create invoices for your proposed clients and the best part is that Waveapps meets the accounting needs of your small business. 

 Paylater  is a rainy day friend. It's a one-stop spot for your instant loans, payments and investment. This 'guy' requires no guarantors, no collateral. You get to apply 24/7 and receive funds in your account in as little as 5 minutes. You unlock higher loan amounts and lower interest rates by repaying on time.

 Don't allow your projects lie cold like frozen beans because you have failed to make a move. 

 Why did I share this? Well, I know how important it is for you to secure the bag😉😉. 

 Don't zoom past like a ghost. Leave a trace, say 'hello' in the comment section below.

WHY I WON'T BE BUYING ANYTHING AGAIN FOR A LIFETIME

By
Heads up, people!  Walking into a shop to purchase an item does not look appealing to me anymore. This is one of my decisions for the new year being that if something is not worth it then there is no point buying it especially trying to impress another fellow.  I have chosen to stick to buying experiences rather 'things.' One of my observation is that experiences cannot be stolen or compromised. They stick like your gum sap sticks to a tree.  So maybe before you buy that expensive Emporio Armani wristwatch or Jimmy Choo shoes, it might be imperative to checkmate if there are experiences that same amout can buy you. Don't get me wrong, it is as clear as crystal that you need to shop for clothings, food, phones or luxury from time to time but bear in mind that your happiness can't be tied to any item. That vibe you get is nothing but a fleeting one .  “One of the enemies of   happiness  is adaptation,”  Thomas  Gilovich reveals. “We buy ...

WHY YOU MIGHT SPOT ME AT A GAME HOUSE

By
Chukwuebuka had been my friend for a long time.  I had come visiting and he had just bought a new Play Station 4 set way back then. We sat and discussed about  the Nigerian school system to politics, to social trends and ofcourse literature.  He had been waiting for 'the boys' so he could 'trash them' in a game.  "I would like to play," he gave me the 'girls-don't-play-games kind of smile but I insisted.  Five minutes into the game, he had a knowing smile on his face as he stared at me to the gamepads and back to the screen. One thing was certain, it was not the first time I 'd touch a gamepad. Growing up with my male cousins groomed me for that.  Life itself is a game and realising this in good time will help you pull through it with ease. Life is designed just like games just like your favourite Candy Crush to Grand Theft Auto , Super Mario or even Temple Run . It teaches you to scale hurdles and unlock higher realms of operation.

A letter from John

By
My bucket hat donned my head. It served the scorching sun right, my scalp was not one to be burnt for no offense. I relaxed my tired body against the board of the trawler. James yelled at me, "Don't just sit there and watch I and father. We will still catch some fishes, you can't just lose hope",he seemed to say. I peered at him through the corner of my eyes and closed them again. I felt cold water being sprinkled on me and I jerked up. It was father, I had no choice but stand up and join James.. I was not a man who wanted too many things. All I wanted was to catch some fishes yet the little things kept hiding and refusing to walk into the loving embrace of my fishing net. I may not desire many things but I sure desired to be loved not the kind of erotic love some of those Samaritan women would profess to men who lust after whore mongering. I sought for a love that was pure and chaste. A type that I couldn't even explain. I sought to be loved deeply by G...
