Free Data Tips: July 2016

Sunday 31 July 2016

This is a short journey of Fatoki who left a banking job to start selling Akara, fried plantain and Poff-poff.

A month at his banking job, he realised it was not his calling. He made the right choice by leaving the job and starts what he felt he enjoyed doing. What a good decision and cares what people say about him, for the fact that his friends talk ill of what he is doing. What is most important is to figure out what one has passion and love to do. It is the passion that propels one, no amount of obstacles or discouragements that come along the way because one sees beyond what others don't see. It is critical and very important to ask oneself, what would I do to have impact and as well be fulfilled. Fatoki, I love your courage and I must commend you for such decision of yours.

#SaveMayowa: Nigerians have been scammed!

Remember Mayowa Ahmed who broke the internet recently, who is down with Ovarian Cancer and needed #32million naira for surgery? The latest news is that, the plea for #32 million naira fund is a scam!
Linda Ikeji posted the news on her blog earlier today.

#SaveMayowa scam: Seun Egbegbe supports Toyin Aimakhu

Even though Seun Egbegbe and Toyin Aimakhu broke up and parted in a very messy way, Seun Egbegbe has come out to give his full support to Toyin Aimakhu concerning #SaveMayowa scam issue.

This inspired me!!!

Kenya is two hours ahead of Nigeria, India is four hours thirty minutes ahead of Nigeria, but it does not mean that Nigeria is slow, and it does not mean that Kenya and India is faster than Nigeria.
Both countries are working based on their own "Time Zones."

Mayowa Ahmed is very sick and needs our financial help to save her life.

Mayowa Ahmed, is a graduate of University of Lagos and an HB SS patient incidentally diagnosed with bilateral Ovarian Mass Carcinoma and needs our assistance to raise 100,000 US Dollars for treatment at Emory International Hospital Atlanta USA. Watch her plea for help below. According to those assisting her..

During the burial of a young man, another young man was crying out his heart. He wept uncontrollably that many people kept wondering what is wrong with him.

MARCHING INTO HEAVEN WITH BLOODY FEET by Abayomi Ahmed

May my eye not see evil as I stand on this miasma of prophethood
May my soul not be beleaguered by these troops of luciferous messiahs
The ambrosia is being consumed by mere mortals, the gods' food!
The altar is being robbed by these honey-tongued liars

Dead bodies ushering in the new converts into our Tabernacle of decadence
Let the unclad ladies with fiery wings bring in the unholy communion
Please may you step aside and let our defiled Priestess set the altar?
While the heavily-bearded man-monster recite a verse from the book of iniquitous glossary
Then we can listen to the lass in transparent veils supplicate with the jinxed rosary

Let us raise our voices in exultation to the Lord as we drop three coins into the preacher's hat
One for us, the second on behalf of the preacher, and the third on behalf of the hobo on our street, all in the preacher's hat
Let us ask the father for forgiveness, so we may sometime soon, sin against the son, without guilt
Let us slaughter all the souls in Tabernacle adjacent to ours
So that we may be blest with Seventy Virgins clothed in red robes of phantasm and black veils of illusion

Rejoice! O Ye adherents of futility garbed in spurious genuflection
A reincarnation is at hand! So let us hasten this sacred Holocaust
With your robes and headgears, let us march forward to the warfronts of this theistic genocide
Even God, cannot make us bury this ecclesiastical hatchet of imprudence
Even the Lord which we march forth to defend, cannot mitigate the war of our quarrel
When the streets have been drenched in blood
And the roofs decorated with limbs
And we dance around the inferno, feasting over our foolishness
Then we would saunter, nay, strut into our fools' paradise
With our heads down and feet up, and His Dominion still will reigneth forevermore, Amin.

MY ENCOMIUM TO A PLAGIARIST by Abayomi Ahmed

So there was this person that copied a post I have seen on Social Media trillion of times and copied it one his-her Facebook wall.

So I liked the post, because I do actually like the content. I also made a comment under the post. I wrote, "Highly Creative".
The person liked comment. Happy that I noticed her-his 'creativity' too.

Yes, I noticed your high level of ingenuity you used in highlighting the text of the post carefully where you saw it.
I could sense the ingenuity you employed to click on copy or 'ctrl C'. And how you cleverly went on to paste or 'ctrl v' it in your own profile so that it can appear as if you composed it. Not forgetting your intentional forgetfulness to put 'copied' above or below it to show you are not the author.
The prolific way you added, 'looking for the meaning of life' is highly commendable. I bet it takes immense brilliance to achieve such a feat!

And, in your altruism, you then you tagged your fans so that they would gain from it though they did not contribute and can never understand how much pain, labor, energy, toil, stress, tension, erudition, years of research, effort and Effrontery you invested into this valorous and Spartan feat!

You are indeed a great person. You need to be celebrated. We need to make a feast and present you and award. The angels must take this news to the heavens. And the demons must 'slay' to celebrate you. The witches and wizards must 'dab' at this occasion. This accomplishment must not go unnoticed. It may even be a sin to be ungrateful to you.

On my own part, I dedicate this badly written encomium to eulogise you and make sure you and your feat are immortalised. Even if no one notices your good works, I do. This is my display of loyalty.

I am your only true fan. I am the Dino of your Saraki. I will even rape the Queen of England if she disrespects you!

Once upon a time......A true life story

Once upon a time, the Blackberry was like a Nigerian landlord with 360 brand endorsement deals across the globe.

FIVE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A GOOD STORY

As humans, at one time or the other in our lives, we have to relate a story. This may be about an happening or incident, a person or ourselves personally, or an institution or organisation. This may be professionally or for fun. It may be as a leader, entrepreneur, business owner, administrator, public speaker, preacher, parent, or just among our friends and colleagues. Telling a story is actually a thing we cannot do without. And when we want to do it, we have to do it excellently, so as to pass the desired message across.

As a passionate story-teller who wants to have a great effect on the audience or readers, there are some hacks which if utilised, you can keep readers fixated on the page and make the story have the effect desired and also leave a lasting memory on their minds.
Below are five ingredients which if infused into your story, you are on the path to a wide and loyal readeship:

The following are partly based on Robert Dickman and Richard Maxwell's advice in their book, 'The Elements of Persuasion'.

Passion: This should be the easy one, as a writer that loves what he or she does and has a goal to narrate for excellence. The more passionate the storyteller is, the more authentic they seem and the more compelling their story becomes. You have to be enthusiastic about what you are narrating, this makes the audience more convinced and builds their own passion too. It simply makes the story compelling and motivating.
The words of Deepak Chopra can serve as a lode-star on this:

"Yes, in all my research, the greatest leaders looked inward and were able to tell a good story with authenticity and passion.

2. A protagonist: There needs to be a hero or protagonist in your story; somebody who can be respected and related to. Someone who is inspiring and possesses desirable qualities which is worthy of emulation. This person, community or group engages as your audience as they want to see what happens to them and learn more about them. It keeps them suspended and longing for more. Note, human beings are naturally curious, we want to know what happens next.

3. An antagonist: If there is nothing at stake, there is no story. What or who is the hero up against? There doesn’t need to be some super villain; think poverty in the community or lack of education, corruption or terrorism, youthful exuberance or an unreasonable boss, an unrewarding job or bad political terrain and so on.
There has to be an 'enemy' against the aspirations or circumstance of the protagonist.

4. Awareness: What’s the “Aha!” moment in your story? A moment where people learn or realize something they otherwise wouldn’t have. Did the hero learn something? What was the meaning and rationale behind the story?
There must be a climax. An high point of understanding or sigh. This is a very integral part of a story which drives homes most of the points.

5. Transformation: What has changed throughout the length of the story? Think about the impact, what is different and what has changed as a result of the story you are telling. Again, you don’t need to thwart some mythical villain and restore order to the universe; a personal success or any little change can be very moving. A simple narration of how the challenge was overcome, for example, how you eventually founded your first company after quitting a job or how you made your first million. This also gives hope to the readers. It makes them feel inspired. And most importantly, they yearn for more from you, since they feel it is worth their time and more value has been added to their lives. They may also tell someone about your story or retell it. Reader loyalty is achieved. Wider readership is on the way.

Make sure these five ingredients are never lacking in your narration of a story and you are in for a fulfilling experience as a story-teller.
