Facts about Ebola

Facts about Ebola

by | Aug 17, 2014 | Health

I read somewhere recently that the fear of Ebola is the begining of wisdom, the fact that people now crack different jokes with the situation, stories that crops up daily and how fearful Nigerians have suddenly become is worrisome.
While we need to spread information about the virus, also we need to constantly remind ourself that fear kills three times as much as death! Many who fall from a high tower die before impact with the ground. Death kills fast, but fear has torment! While Ebola is dangerous and terminal, fear is lethal and boundless. While Ebola victims have a chance of survival, ignorance leaves fewer options. Don’t let the fear of Ebola kill you before Ebola. Get the facts right.

Here are the key facts you need.

1. What is Ebola? It’s a hemorrhagic fever – the victims bleed from all over and bleed to death. It is contagious; being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, saliva, semen or body discharges. It’s deadly, but there is a chance of survival. It kills 60-90% of those who contact it. Ebola victims can be treated for the symptoms and some can recover.
2. There are only 3 ways you can get Ebola – Contact with someone who is VISIBLY Infected, Contact with a Dead Body or Contact with an animal carrying the virus e.g. A bat or a monkey that is not very well cooked.
3. The symptoms are quite similar to Malaria or Flu. – Honestly, it’s difficult to tell the differences with many regular diseases. Sudden High temperature, Headache, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach ache, loss of appetite, weakness, joint or muscle ache, lack of appetite, sore throat, hiccups, cough, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing and bleeding. Honestly, this means not much is known yet, as these are regular things sick people generally experience. This is where you really need to ensure you don’t fall Ill, because even healers are saying there is no distance in the spirit, and you can be prayed for from a distance. Now, you really need to know God personally.
4. To protect yourself, do the following – Be Educated, Stay away from dead bodies, Ensure you have no open sores. Sleep with only your faithful spouse. Ebola is not airborne. It’s transferred by fluid transfers. Personally, I think all this sanitization and cleaning is generally good for cleanliness, and the excessive drive of it profit driven… and Salt water for bathing or drinking is not going to help you. Neither with John G Lake or Bitter Kola… you can Google the three of them.
5. If you see someone you suspect has Ebola call this number – It’s a national issue! 0800 32652 4357 – It’s a toll FREE number!

How to Never Be Without a Job Again [answer inside]

How to Never Be Without a Job Again [answer inside]

by | Aug 6, 2014 | How to

Your goal is to organize your life in such a way that you enjoy a good income, a high standard of living, and that you are the master of your economic destiny rather than a victim of changing economic times. Does this sound consistent with your goals?
Contribution Is the Key
Your job is an opportunity to contribute a value to your company in excess of your cost. In its simplest terms, your job is as secure as your ability to render value in excess of what it costs to keep you on the payroll. If you want to earn more money at your current job, you have to increase your value, your contribution to the enterprise.

Add Value Every Day
If you want to get a new job, you have to find a way to contribute value to that enterprise. If you want any kind of job security, you must continually work at maintaining and increasing your value in the competitive marketplace.
And here’s a key point. Your education, knowledge, skills and experience all are investments in your ability to contribute a value for which you can be paid. But they are like any other investments. They are highly speculative.
Once you have learned a subject or developed a skill, it is a sunk cost. It is time and money spent that you cannot get back. No employer in the marketplace has any obligation to pay you for it, unless he can use your skill to produce a product or service that people are ready to buy, today.
Prepare For Your Next Job
Whatever job you are doing, you should be preparing for your next job. And the key question is always: Where are the customers? Which businesses and industries are growing in this economy, and which ones are declining?
Where Is The Future?
I continually meet people who ask me how they can increase their income when their entire industry is shrinking. I tell them that there are jobs with futures and there are jobs without futures, and they need to get into a field that is expanding, not contracting.
Never Be Without A Job
There are three forms of unemployment in America: voluntary, involuntary, and frictional. Voluntary unemployment exists when a person decides not to work for a certain period of time, or not to accept a particular type of job, hoping that something better will come along. Involuntary unemployment exists when a person is willing and able to work but cannot find a job anywhere. Frictional unemployment is the natural level; this includes the approximately 4 or 5 percent of the working population who are between jobs at any given time.
Three Keys to Lifelong Employment
However, there are always jobs for the creative minority. You never have to be unemployed if you will do one of three things: change the work that you are offering to do, change the place where you are offering to work, or change the amount that you are asking for your services. You should consider one or more of these three strategies whenever you are dissatisfied with your current work situation.

Are you willing to cut your losses?

Are you willing to cut your losses?

by | Jun 29, 2014 | Living, Motivation

Did you know that highly creative people tend to have fluid, flexible, adaptive minds? Here are three statements that creative people can make easily and which you learn by regular practice.

Admit It When You Are Wrong

The first is simply, “I was wrong.” Many people are so concerned with being right that all their mental energy is consumed by stonewalling, bluffing, blaming and denying. If you’re wrong, admit it and get on to the solution or the next step.
Face Up to Mistakes
Second, non-creative people think that it is a sign of weakness to say, “I made a mistake.” On the contrary, it is actually a sign of mental maturity, personal strength and individual character. Remember, everybody makes mistakes every single day.
Be Flexible With New Information
The third statement that creative people use easily is, “I changed my mind.” It is amazing how many uncomfortable situations people get into and stay in because they are unwilling or afraid to admit that they’ve changed their minds.
Be Willing to Cut Your Losses
If you get new information or if you find that you feel differently about a previous decision, accept that you have changed your mind and don’t let anyone or anything back you into a corner. If a decision does not serve your best interests as you see them now, have the ego-strength and the courage to “cut your losses,” to change your mind and then get on to better things.

PayPal expands payment services to Nigeria, 9 other markets

PayPal expands payment services to Nigeria, 9 other markets

by | Jun 20, 2014 | Digital Marketing, Website development

PayPal is entering 10 new countries this week, including Nigeria, providing online payment alternatives for consumers via mobile phones or PCs in markets often blighted by financial fraud.

Rupert Keeley, the executive in charge of the EMEA region of PayPal, the payments unit of eBay Inc, said in an interview on Monday the expansion would bring the number of countries it serves to 203.
Starting on Tuesday, consumers in Nigeria, which has 60 million users and has Africa’s largest population, along with nine other markets in sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America will be able to make payments through PayPal.

“PayPal has been going through a period of reinvention, refreshing many of its services to make them easier to use on mobile (phones), allowing us to expand into fast-developing markets,” Keeley said.

Once the services go live, customers in the 10 countries with access to the Web and a bank card authorized for Internet transactions will be able to register for a PayPal account and make payments to millions of sites worldwide.

Initially, PayPal is only offering “send money” services for consumers to pay for goods and services at PayPal-enabled merchant sites while safeguarding their financial details. This is free to consumers and covered by fees it charges merchants.

“We think we can give our sellers selling into this market a great deal of reassurance,” said Keeley, a former regional banking executive with Standard Chartered Plc and senior executive with payment card company Visa Inc.

PayPal does not yet cover peer-to-peer transactions, which allow consumers to send money to other consumers. It has not yet enabled local merchants in the new markets to receive payments, nor is it offering other forms of banking services, he said.

A 2013 survey of 200 UK ecommerce sites by Visa’s CyberSource unit estimated that 1.26 percent of online orders are fraudulent and that 85 percent of merchants expected fraud to increase or remain static last year.

CyberSource also estimated that suspicion of fraudulent transactions result in 8.2 percent of online orders in Latin America being rejected by merchants, compared with 5.5 percent in Europe and 2.7 percent in the United States and Canada.

Such fraud can include ID theft, social engineering, phishing and automated harvesting of customer financial data via botnets, or networks of computers controlled by hackers.

A total of 80 million Internet users stand to gain access to PayPal global services this week, including those in five European markets – Belarus, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco and Montenegro, four in the African nations of Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, and Zimbabwe, as well as Paraguay. Internet usage figures are based on research by Euromonitor International.

PayPal counts 148 million active accounts worldwide. Last week, MasterCard Inc, the world’s second-largest debit and credit card company, and a PayPal rival in payment processing, said it was working with the Nigerian government on a pilot to overlay payment technology on a new national identity card.

PayPal has operated in 190 markets since 2007 and added three countries – Egypt, Georgia and Serbia last year. Roughly a quarter of the $52 billion in payment volumes PayPal reported in the first quarter of 2014 were for cross-border transactions. PayPal reported $1.8 billion in revenue during the period.

Mandela’s Message to Nigerian leaders

Mandela’s Message to Nigerian leaders

by | Dec 11, 2013 | Living

All I wish after reading the message below is that we all can take responsibility of things that happen within and around us, It is time for us to stop pointing fingers at our leaders, I think we deserve the type of leaders we have and the change can only start from me and you. We need to start asking questions, not from the President “first” but from our Local Government Council to State Executive Council then to National Executive Council. 

We have a lot to learn from this great man, Nelson Mandela, his message below except:

“YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.
“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid.
“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.
“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.
Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy…give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.”
(Excerpts taken from a 2007 interview with Mandela conducted by Dr  Hakeem Baba-Ahmed).
