The Black Wall Street Journal

Delving into the historical background of the underlying fundamentals that first made up The Black Wall Street would invariably reveal and give great insight about the concept of our well organised and galvanised movement to rescue Africa from the shackles of economic woes. Reminiscent on past events, The Black Wall Street had its origin from a community called Tulsa which was later named Greenwood after a town in Mississippi by one of the founding Fathers, Ottawa W. Gurley in Oklahoma USA. They were formally organised in 1906 when a group of African-Americans converged together to develop Tulsa, Greenwood community in order to ensure freedom from social segregation, racial bigotry, flippant oppression, relentless barbarism, manhunt and picnic. Someone might be tempted to ask why picnic. Unknown to many, the word "picnic" was actually coined from the word "pick a nigger to lynch", which literally means pick a black guy to kill, this happened in the predominantly wh

Branding "N" Advertising

The branding and advertising industry in Nigeria dates back years when its pioneers had the sole aim of accomplishing marketing functions of their respective companies. Then, leading companies established special arms to take care of these objectives. During this period, many practitioners controlling the industry were foreigners. With independence coming in 1960 and a federal government decree some years later, the door was opened to indigenous practitioners to engage in the business of advertising, brand management and activation, out-of-home media, PR and reputation management. Noisemaker Limited, a customer focused integrated marketing communication agency with world class competency in the delivery of quality services that position brands for success, made a grand entry on the scene and clearly hit the ground running by deftly claiming its spot in the industry. The company, run by young, intellectually sound and analytical Jubril Dixon boasts of a rich client base that include t

WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD? #27 BILLION.

WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD NIGERIA? I will begin this piece with a heavy burden in my heart. Somebody might want to ask, why this expression? I do not seem to fathom whom or a group of people that can or will rescue this great nation called Nigeria from the fangs of the evil yet powerful geniuses who disguise by every means possible, including being subtle as a dove to cling to a political office and afterwards, they turn themselves to demi-gods and become a lion in his full strength and agility during his prime to feast on a prey. The question I always ask myself and I believe many others are asking now is that " What is the way forward Nigeria"? One of the most recent deliberations which have refused to leave the airspace in the country right now is the appropriation of #27 billion for the renovation of the National Assembly complex. Somebody said what, are you kidding me? Please, if I may ask, how much does it cost to start an entirely new building from scratch, even t

THE CERTIFICATE SAGA

Going by the recent development in the Nigerian polity, referring to the certificate saga of the president of Nigeria, in person of President Mohammodu Buhari, it is so disheartening that this is happening at this time. I don't want to go into the melodramatic nature that characterized the previous arguments, objections , counter arguments and what have you. For the sake of clarity you can follow up the story especially from the year 2015 when the President became prominent. All said, I do not want to discredit or entangle myself in a claustrophobic mindset, my take is just that anything that we do today would always leave traces for posterity will to judge. In a nutshell, we should always strive to do things right. Don't want to mention names, because that is not the ultimate motive for writing this piece. I just want to emphasize that the dirty game of politics should be separated from the pillars of a Nation such as education, religion , culture etcetera. What do I mean by

Save Our Soul

Air pollution has always accompanied civilizations. Pollution started from prehistoric times , when man created the first fires. According to a 1983 article in the journal Science, " soot " found on ceilings of prehistoric caves provides ample evidence of the high levels of pollution that was associated with inadequate ventilation of open fires." [4] Metal forging appears to be a key turning point in the creation of significant air pollution levels outside the home. Core samples of glaciers in Greenland indicate increases in pollution associated with Greek, Roman, and Chinese metal production. [5] Urban pollution Air pollution in the US, 1973 The burning of coal and wood, and the presence of many horses in concentrated areas made the cities the primary sources of pollution. The Industrial Revolution brought an infusion of untreated chemicals and wastes into local streams that served as the water supply. King Edward I of England banned the burn

Get rich quick syndrome Is a very popular phrase among the populace in the world. As the name implies,everybody,both young and old, especially the younger generation wants the short cut to riches, without having to go through the sacrificial and rigorous way to make money. However, no matter how simple a plan or an idea may look like, it takes considerable factors, like time, dedication, handwork, brainstorming and most importantly a start up capital. But, very minimal number of people ,about 15% of people are willing to go through the rigorous steps to achieve success, therefore,about 85% of the mostly youth populace are deceived into embracing quicker means of making money like armed robbery,.............................
