EKITI: APC and PDP Fight over Billboard

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti clashed on Monday in Ado-Ekiti over alleged failed plan to destroy an electronic bill board. The bill board, erected near the Ekiti State Government House in Fajuyi Memorial Park, was said to have been attacked by thugs loyal to the PDP’s governorship candidate, Mr. Ayo Fayose. A Hilux patrol vehicle belonging to the Peace Corps was vandalised by the thugs. Security men quickly arrived at the scene to bring the situation under control but not without resistance from some thugs loyal to the APC. An eyewitness said a man identified as a member of the PDP was abducted in the presence of the security men to an unknown location. The eyewitness said, “The man was on a motorcycle when he was ‘arrested’ by the thugs. He kept shouting that he was just returning to Ado-Ekiti to pay his child’s school fees but the thugs did not listen to him. He begged them to spare his life but that didn’t make them to change their mind. “The only reason they arrested him was because one of the APC boys said he sighted him at Spotless Hotel belonging to Ayo Fayose; they did not even care to verify the claim by the thug.” The fight came two days after supporters of Labour Party and the APC clashed in Ikere-Ekiti when the governorship candidate of the LP, Opeyemi Bamidele, and Ondo Governor, Olusegun Mimiko held a campaign rally. The Monday’s clash took place at the time the state’s chairman of the APC, Mr. Jide Awe, was addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti where he accused the police and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps of complicity in the wave of attacks fast spreading in Ekiti. He cited the attack on Commissioner of Tourism, Mrs. Ronke Okusanya, by PDP thugs at a police station in Efon-Alaye as an example of police complicity. Absolving the police of partisanship, the Ekiti Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi, described the statement by the APC as very unfortunate. “They are only trying to make the police the scapegoat and we will not tolerate that,” he said.

NEXT GENERATION BILLIONNAIRES

MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) otherwise known as Network Marketing has been recognised and recommended by many millionnaires as a way out to build a business easily with very little capital and effort. Some people are still skeptical. Therefore, it becomes something to be critically looked into when business gurus and billionaires like Robert Kiyosaki pays glowing tributes to MLM business. In his book, "Rich kid Smart Kid", Robert Kiyosaki writes, "In early 2000 I was asked by one of the leading network marketing companies to teach what they called "the next generation" about investing. Curious as to what next generation was, I was told that they were the kids whose parents were successful in network marketing business. When I asked why tgese "kids" needed to learn about I investing, the reply was "Because these young people will be inheriting million dollar, and in some cases billion dollar, businesses. We have been teaching them the business skills, and now we need you to teach them investing skills."... "I spent two days in a ski resort talking to seventy-five young people, ages running from fifteen to thirty-five, about the importance of investing. It was nice because there were no questions such as "Where do I get the money to invest?" As my rich dad sais, "There are only two kinds of money problems. One problem is not enough money, and the other problem is too much money." And these young people had the second problem. "on the second day of the course I could not help but notice how different these young people were. They were unlike many of the young people I had met previously. Even the teenagers could hold a conversation about money, business m and investing that was adult to adult, not teenager to adult. I was old enough to be their father, and I often felt as though I was talking to a peer across a boardroom table. I then realised that these young people had grown up in the business, and many of them were managing cash flows and investment portfolios much larger than mine. It was a humbling experience for me, yet as wealthy as these young people already were, there was not the jerky arrogance, cockiness, or aloofness that I occasionally find in some young people. "When I speak to people considering a home based business - anything from a network marketing business...I commdnt on the young people I met up on that mountain. A home based business can provide benefits far beyond the additional sources of income and tax breaks, and some of the benefits are immeasurable and priceless. For some people with children, a home based is their way of doing their homework..." Are you doing your home work?
