EDUCATION DOES NOT DETERMINE SUCCESS - Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe.

In this article prophet Israel Oladele Emphasize more on why people condemn themselves because of Lack of Education..




"WHY DO YOU CONDEMN YOURSELF?? - 

I have observed and come to realise how that lots of people condemn themselves by reason of lack of education and blame their anti success life on their weak level of acquired academics.




 Don't get me wrong! Education is key and paves way for success; but it doesn't  guarantee one's elevation & success in life. 

Success on the other hand, is given to a prepared mind. You can be educated and not having a prepared mind to succeed, that's why so many scholars answer to the authority of their boss who is a non-scholar[a drop out

 You need to make up your mind to succeed irrespective of your educational background,  you have to be success hungry, think differently, cut off unfruitful friends.

 Start having thoughts of ''I CAN' and silence that voice of "I CANNOT". 

You have a lot of greatness inside of you that's awaiting manifestation. And finally, it doesn't matter whether you are educated or not, you just have to make-up your mind to succeed and plan your life towards attaining success; I assure by the grace of God, nothing is going stop you if only you start taking action step towards succeeding. 

Don't let nobody pull you down by discouraging you, instead, develop yourself and let your good instinct lead you.

 Remember, SUCCESS IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.

We hope you Enjoy reading this article and don't forget to comment...

President Muhammadu Buhari: grants printing monopoly to MINT







President Muhammadu Buhari: grants printing monopoly to MINT

President Muhammadu Buhari has granted the Nigerian Security Printing & Minting Company (NSPMC) the monopoly for the production and personalisation of all Nigerian E-passports and related documentation.

Buhari gave the directive today.

Popularly known as The Mint, the company was established in 1963 with the objective of producing the nation’s currency notes and coins for the Central Bank of Nigeria as well as security documents for Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government, banks and other blue chip companies.

With the new directive from the President, all existing memorandum of understanding and contracts on printing by other institutions/ companies will not be renewed.

The Mint is the largest banknote and security documents specialist printing company in West Africa. However, its performance was rapidly dwindling in terms of both currency production and security documents prior to 2014.

Under the chairmanship of the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, new targets were set, and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of The Mint, Mr Abbas Umar Masanawa recounts some of the achievements to include: zero importation of currency from 2014 to date, with attendant benefits of conservation of foreign reserve, revenue and employment generation, as well as safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty.



Mr Masanawa counts the blessings further: “The Mint has returned to profitability. From a moribund organisation with heavy losses, the company grew from a loss position of N14. 6 million in 2014 to a profit of N14. 3 billion in 2018. Turnover also grew from N17.8 billion in 2014 to N61. 4 billion in 2018.

“Other achievements include enhanced production capacity, revenue diversification, reduced cost of production, institutionalization of corporate governance, improved staff welfare and industrial harmony, among others.”

The Managing Direction pledged that The Mint would justify the renewed confidence reposed in it by the President, “as we are moving to the Next Level, and poised to boost national security and integrity, we will conserve scarce foreign exchange, improve revenue generation, create job opportunities, and boost acquisition/transfer of technology.”

Why Ifu Ennada said being an entrepreneur might delay marriage .



Beauty entrepreneur, award-winning actress, and ex-Big Brother Nigeria Housemate, Ifu Ennada, has said being an entrepreneur might not let her marry at a time she desires.

The actress disclosed the information to her followers on Instagram while narrating how coping with business activities and her struggle to get the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) registration for her products has taken so much of her time.

She said: “Being an entrepreneur might not let me marry when I want to. The past few weeks have been very crazy for me. From trying to get my NAFDAC registration finally done (I’ve been on it since last year), managing my staff and ongoing work at my new place to not sleeping till 5/6am because I have to communicate with Manufacturers in China of a new project I’m working on and inspect the work being done for me (China is 7hrs ahead). Add that to keeping up with being a celebrity, shooting contents, attending relevant events, interviews and reading scripts…my life is not fun sometimes. Most of what I do now is not what you assign to PAs.

“Yesterday I broke down. I was crying because after months of going back and forth and thousands of dollars spent on multiple samples my new project wasn’t close to what I want. So I was crying and desperately needed a hug. Some days I forget to eat because I’m so immersed in my work.

“This is why sometimes I feel like marriage isn’t for me until I’m absolutely ready. Sometimes I imagine adding my current To Do List to having a husband and children. I’ll probably run mad and that marriage might fail because marriage is a full-time job…but God is with me. To everyone who follows @5millionaday my page for entrepreneurs, I’ll get back to posting there today.


“To everyone who supports my business @beautifuennada, I don’t take your love for granted. The money I get from my business is what I’m investing in these other projects. I’m grateful for your faith in my brand.”
