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.

MEET AYOTUNDE SOFELA, THE FEMALE MECHANIC WHOSE HEART BEATS FOR PROPER MAINTENANCE OF CARS

By
Goldfishes have no hiding place, so I guess this is why Ayo could not find a hiding place either. My first contact with her was on Twitter when I was looking out for women in male-dominated industries. I had an open mind while I was on the lookout but my thought had not given me the clue that I 'd stumble a sweet female Mechanic.  Ayotunde Sofela is a 25-year-old Mechanic from Abeokuta in Ogun state. Born and bred in the boisterous city of  Lagos and a 400 level computer science student at the National Open University (NOUN). She is the dedicated hands behind Ayomatics Garage, a young startup focused on delivering efficient, reliable, and trustworthy automobile repair, maintenance and consultation. "I didn’t always have this passion from childhood. Like most children, I wanted to grow up to be a doctor. I think that was influenced by the fact that I spent my childhood days in the midst of medical practitioners. When I got into a secondary school, that idea chang...

WE SHOULD ALL BE MINERS

By
This is a new year and I am in a good mood to give you diamond, gold, silver or even platinum. Just mention your preferred choice! If you took the words you read now to heart. That makes you a bigger joker than I am.  The honest truth is that the most satisfying gift you could ever have is one given to you by YOU. Whatsoever, you desire is waiting for you to take action to make it happen? What are you willing to do to make it a reality? How bad do you want it? How long do you want to sit and watch like a lonely puppy and hoping a bright light will shine through? I have got news for you. There is no bright light coming to you. That bright is YOU Confucius is quoted to have whispered, "A ll good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.”  He was not far from the truth. Those fine metals hanging on your neck, sitting comfortably on your earlobe, caressing your ring or perhaps your middle finger didn't just find its way to the jewelry sh...

TOP SKILLS AMAKA'S YOUNG STARTUP NEEDS TO AVOID 'DISAPPOINTMENT'

By
Amaka is one of the smartest people I have met. Come to think of it, she was raised in Onitsha, Anambra State and the ever bustling city of Lagos. You can say business sense comes easy to her, having lived in these two cities.  When the year began, she planned to increase her clientele to at least hundred for the year. Lately, she got a  ink that also enables her get quality supply of super stylish clothes.  However, the goal of the year has been dwindling. She has been on an emotional roller coaster on why her business has not  been going as planned. We all know business has it's good days and it's bad days.  But these... has been bad daaaaaaays. Before we attribute anything to fate and the circumstance. One thing is evident, she has not been making efficient use of her resources that will help her nail her goal for the year.  What in Christ heaven's is she going to do? There is a very thick line between wanting and needing a thing. With the ...
