"93 Days"

"93 Days"

Of the many things the holiday season affords us is some well-deserved rest, downtime and time-off to relax with family. Recently I have been on a movie binge! Not just regular movies but animated ones - yes cartoons (shout out to Pixel and the rest). I sincerely believe there is a link between cartoons and creativity or maybe that's just me giving an adult excuse to indulge myself - the kid in me! 2016 itself has been dramatic; everyday seems to be acting out a script from Nollywood. Speaking of Nollywood, I didn't have a challenge with picking my favourite movie of 2016.

Mavrodi's Mondial Moneybox - MMM

Mr. Mavro's Miracle

Tuesday 13th December 2016 will be a day most people won't forget in a hurry. MMM - a pyramid money scheme that offers juicy percentages in returns decided to "freeze" its operations.
For emphasis, this is not an i-told-you-so Op-Ed. It would be utterly irresponsible and most insensitive to poke at people battling with extreme emotions at this time. This is rather an attempt to take a cursory look at how we got here.

The Person Of The Year

"YUGE!"

No pun intended, Trump is having the 'time' of his life! Like other eccentric figures, it can be much of a task writing about Trump because the line between objectivity and subjectivity is greatly blurred.

Say Hello To The Man Of The Year!

"YUGE!" Donald J. Trump is TIME Magazine's Person of the Year for 2016! His selection didn't come as a surprise, an otherwise choice would have been. Hitherto we have known Trump for many things other things aside politics: a real estate mogul with properties littered all over the place, a best-selling author with classics like "The Art of the Deal", owner of the popular franchise "The Celebrity Apprentice", a highly successful business reality TV show and generally as a shrewd businessman. All that now is relegated to the background as he takes on a more prestigious title - the 45th President of the United States of America!

"Beg-Bug"

"Uncle give me small money"

The sight of them is ubiquitous, they are so visible it's almost impossible to miss them. They adorn the landscape of the street corners. Inadvertently, they have become skilled in the "Art of the Deal", possessing oratory and persuasive acumen that make people like me dazed. In an interesting sense I can relate with their situation - having to talk for a living.

The 2016 US Elections - UNPRECEDENTED!

Clinton or Trump?

This is it! This is by far the most anticipated elections of all time. I can boast of being there from the beginning. From the chatter of Clinton's candidacy after she dropped her book "Hard Choices". Not forgetting Mr. Trump who has always nursed the ambition, only this time he cashed in on it " bigly".

Google It!

Google: The World's Number One Search Engine

In a career class, I remember Jimi Tewe once said: "there are two factors that determine your success in the marketplace; God and Google!" Looking closely at that statement, it can be argued that he is not far from the truth. It is said that money answers all things. Well Google has an answer for everything!
