Instead of messing with kids on mathematical formulas why not teach them to convert the nasretdin tales into figures?
Presentation Cognitive Load Theory
The enforcement of Moral rules by one system over the other creates emotional problems in kids where an opposite experience becomes a problem for the other, to feel for another is an emotional shock for the other where those who are open minded ask questions than pose accusations in effect when one shuts down it is presumed that the opposing party has surrendered whereas in effect a varying amount of emotions are stored within hence to presume that a person had been subdued is a fleeting notion of power. This is the mistake that attacking nations are ignorant about
Exuberant expenses creates pressures on the earth hence all the greed that resonates with the us management style of the world where greed over life is promoted by the financial systems in return they also trap people through repayments while failing to create jobs by not supporting the knowledge base of institutions yet shutting down schools
Expanded Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Human Needs, Self Actualization, Humanistic Psychology
Marslow works for structuring the search within undeveloped environments for adequate distribution of strength by governments in resources the necessities for students is to find on what basic levels their chosen business projects belong in practice it isn't a must but helps when understanding sales and marketing tactics
The side of marslow helps in creating an estimated budget where knowing on what level a project needs to take itself, the errors in business plan making by the financial institution is because they aren't actively using what economists had identified, so tired of accountants posing as economists or worst politicians who claim they know what others need while they haven't outlined their own path. That's the leading problem in the bank brochure that I took for assessment on their stand
Let the English ask themselves why Americans revolted against them, after sending prisoners to work there they ripped almost all from them using their usual tactics in oppressing people hence they fought so hard to be independent from them, this is something that the supposed elite don't realise that respect sooner or later dwindles when people are neglected
Crisis Management PR
Those who are truly in PR are searchers for solutions in cases when it is affecting a large group or globally at large you war the hierarchy both the people and the leaders alike, in product management bit the good the bad are questioned while those that like to sit at the fence you hoot at them to flee it is a dangerous and costly affair
Guess what packaging and rationing style I found today by the packagers of wine products easy to manage stocks in bars and restaurants that way while a client can take the cups home a little well wishing design will enhance the feeling that comes with its expressions on the labels and tags
Interesting why are cereals not packaged for camps? Oats brand is winning while the coco pups are loosing my market share😎🤓🙄
Like I said chocolate not good for hot countries it is a soft product for those who like to snuggle by the fire place in winter chem glushit vodku, hot vodka any day or cold vodka loaded with fruits removed the effect it has on the kidneys and respectively cleanses the liver
Just passed through an ally and couldn't help it to dance through from someone who farted I'm passing that's a survivors strategy not to gag in the moment🤓🤗🙄🤔
What is more favourable in the market for camps dry or wet packaged foods?😎🤔🙄 when a guys cal stinks to high heavens look at who is feeding him, his mother with her nasty african attitude when a woman or a cook or a chef is in a bad mood it affects the flavours of a meal
Some people don't know what marinade does in pickled cucumber it helps lift the tonus when depressed ever know why Russians are always friendly and agile? Mess with me and you will have a fist full how about a courtship? Cuscus is lighter than rice and it's making comes with a variety of flavours of choice
Here see why hide your product if at the shopping mall business people are always passing by for assessment it's also a cheaper way for malls instead of spending on unnecessary interiors that sometimes clogs the imagination
All those greesy kitchens that like to pack cockroaches easy way to deal with them is to use the oven cleaners instead of insect killers how about a preventative method instead of having to irk with disgust later, dushu za hem Marat?
Nenaviju kalgotki iz za togo shto devushkam prohoditsya brit nogi, znaesh shto potom assobenno u tex u kogo mujkie gormoni prrabladaut pod starosti let kak garili, sama bryaus vishipivau iz za garmonov pizdetz
The enforcement of Moral rules by one system over the other creates emotional problems in kids where an opposite experience becomes a problem for the other, to feel for another is an emotional shock for the other where those who are open minded ask questions than pose accusations in effect when one shuts down it is presumed that the opposing party has surrendered whereas in effect a varying amount of emotions are stored within hence to presume that a person had been subdued is a fleeting notion of power. This is the mistake that attacking nations are ignorant about
As a rule men have a short attention span to life matters regardless of to whom or to what it was addressed to, girls are brought up to being emotional hence are capable of becoming devious, in my stance because of my deciplining myself I have learnt to turn my bad experiences into solutions for others.
Outward thinking people are often retaliatory there are those that presume that a person disclosing the bad acts of others in relation to self is revenge but in actual stance I employ it as a means to having them and others learn from it.
In law there are degrees of punishment first is considered misdemeanour on repeat is when sentencing takes place, in social situations there are those that refuse to change and there are those who can't change because they are in same conditions hence the society ought to take part blame for situations reoccurring. There are people that take a punishment to a degree because they feel they have the right in these cases is when violence happens within families in same respect to governing persons
I lived on a budget of 3000 Naira in for 2 people in Nigeria, never had the luxury of clothes from the age of 16 for daily expense hence had learnt to save in hard times, while you all are feeling sorry for me I am stating that I am a stronger person for that in my business, yes I grew up with nonchalant people who called themselves parents but were spoilt with care, I find it ironic that such people aren't able to manage themselves or others. Yes there is pressure that comes with it never the less it is a factor that only separates my person due to the faith goal I placed as a youth on myself and the religion I practiced to help the emotions stance I went through. I feel sorry for them for loosing a supposed daughter but that's their chosen path.
Religion is supposed to help others manage the pressures of experiences not a reason to take advantage of each other or others, that's the stance of capitalism, why be surprised if repercussion comes with it.
At the time in Nigeria there was no online banking so I simply created my budget expenses withdrew weakly, my boss Collerman once said if I can't save 10% of what I earned then I worked for nothing hence I placed a percentage aside that I was able to use when leaving Benin for lagos, how a youth survives on the streets with such a budget? You look for the cheapest food, but jeans no labels can care less who thinks about how I look, attitude works a great deal when it comes to surviving and saving
Instead of spending money on clothes chasing guys attention I sat at home reading and embroidering, when had flings they never lasted more than a forth night most guys don't have feelings anyway so why bother on looking good?🤓🤗🙄

See dull heads Instead of packaging Nigerian foods to sell as well as distribute for kids who are malnourished are thinking about themselves yet their brands can be promoted in similar fashion told a girl a strategy on how to start her clothing line she felt is was not what would generate her funds for moving to the next level in business the sort of daft egoistical projection most african girls have who themselves are pretty but wouldn't sow not create avenues for themselves, tomorrow they will be used as girlfriends for big boys yet wouldn't look at what to propose to them to deflect unnecessary attention from themselves as tools same type girls will be pointing finger at me assuming I am sleeping with the boss daft completely

What are polices based on? Isn't it the will of the people analysed through parties that they subject themselves to?! if someone says go there you will find people saying where even if a direction had been identified
The feuds and the roudentways of Nigerians is what drove the middle class predominantly made of civil Servants is what Nigerians called middle class who are pen blame pushers for lack of technical knowledge abandoned the basic industries that sustained the value of the Naira against the pound from 1979 while the universities stopped operating traded themselves for quick oil money
Why evaluate yourselves against perceivably weaker countries when looking up to nations that had built themselves even if on the backs of slaves, that's inferiority complex to pacify yourselves that's a pacifists way, feeling sorry for yourselves will lead to poverty of the mind even if there is paper thrown in the air
What is simplicity in dialogue? Nothing simple in working a craft that helps others, the issues with people misunderstanding laziness for simplicity, to cram what others give will have no continuum, this is the problem in EDO state soliloqui isn't brilliance
Heards men are vicious farmers put in management without practice using theoretical stance to achieve superiority, where they use force than acumen to lead
Trust a guy that used PR to gain a seat he will drive everyone into poverty
If people are hasty for solutions will they wait to rip the fruits thereof?
Captains lead they train by example
Oi seichas budu kushat, I feel sorry for the guy who misses my meals after serving his friends with a huge variety of meals his sister comes to ask if I was the one who made the meals after not sleeping the whole night preparing his birthday revenge is sweet couscous in vegitables sweet corn and veg with lamb or can be with beef stroganoff vodka in fruts with a cherry heart, my o my what a sunny day

Guess what Im doing now apart from spending time at my favourite caffe? Sitting and singing to myself in voice irritating the people with my scrappy voice feeling like rain is dripping through my body, horoshee oshushenie me tack bolno tolko kogda hochu delat to shto hochu, achu hachu men holodno
Saw lovely stone craft but want to send this as a gift, men in Nigeria don't know how to show appreciation for their women with little things most women like trinket pizdetz
Poverty is born in the mind and then it eats the heart! How? If u think u will avoid poverty by chopping alone, by ceasing knowledge or information from those who need it, sooner or later u will realise u are not an island and the same grey mainds that you prevented from seeing the light will come back after what you have built for urself! Start helping others to help urself!
Most times I ask my Nija people what is the problem? I hear that we have the mentality of oppressiors! U see ur brother falling in the gutter and u say it isn't my business! U see ur friend strugling with a problem and u have the key instead of shaking hands u are offering it for outrageous cost because you want to make in one go what should be spread over years or a year? And we think someone will feel sorry for us as Africans? We must be kidding!
I had spent time doing mosaics while gathering seashells at the beach
After a day at the spa sitting and having my all time favourite light dinner, you defiantly get hungry after swimming and letting off steam, some centres don't know what service is where is the fruit bar? No competitiveness between bartenders to spread up the interest in using the facility? In fact some centres aren't making money because they are in a restricted confined space with loads of security clauses could be good
O boy they just got me my fav desert with cranberry juice who likes it sweet or sour? "Catch me" if you can restaurant, after going round places why wouldn't you know how to run yours?
This shouldn't come as a shock but a statement of fact on the effects behinds those families that have no truly loving men in the homes the girls don't like to take care of their husbands blasted Peter Odemwingie snr
First they complain about fuel scarcity now they are complaining that they can't reach the demand, how about having electricity Nigeria is running on generators it is making people sick from noise pollution, malaria increases with the omissions thrown look at delta statistics lagos mosquitoes are smarter than the people
Currency value should have dual evaluations to achieve a balance that should and exists within the banking analytics external exchange of labour practices and produce rates the value on international level while the dynamics internally projects internal capacity ie if a business sector is neglected within it starts a spy-roll of effects on an international level
Can't connect to this statement as religions are traditional statements of those who have issues with change
Superiority and inferiority complexes shouldn't be an attribute of the blacks it is a mental state that 70% of people all over the world have if it were not true then there will be more leaders those who do that talk to provoke aggression without deeds
Interesting to know what results to the gravity in cause an effect when plans are ignored when generations are paying the price for treachery
What gets me is that funds are quoted to be stolen and asked to be returned when there is no skilled labour to make amends with lost time
Total crap the lecturers themselves need to be reeducated rather than evaluating the iq of kids they never cared for, Nigeria is in a mess people are living basic lives while incapacitated to address their issues on an international level to be seen as on- investable it is a risk to invest anything now other than education and entertainment, construction and security, industrialisation needs to happen
Quite interesting to see how people think they know who you are when opposed they start revealing their inactive desires, once voiced becomes a burden when given responsibilities to prove themselves incapable of leading their own lives, to boast is publicity to lead takes an active mind
You only get to know who you truly are or what you are capable of when you give! Withholding from others is withholding from yourself! Can you give yourself a pat on the back or a handshake? When you find yourself you are happy with anything, even the devil walks by you curious but can't mess with you, he knows you will give him what he deserves!
Points can only be asserted in action to debate also takes an equal assertion in mind that remains in theory that's an ideology in human relations towards self
This stand is moral personalised to assert oneself above the mundane desires, it varies as people grow to assert themselves above the habits once subjected to and continually enforced till this day if only people knew what governing self demands they wouldn't even dare
Men make themselves equal through deeds while proposing ideas that leads others hopefully to their liberty interesting to see when the supposed leaders can remain at ease while having to see the results of their peoples inactive stance in their own lives
I myself will reject governing people knowing how easily they make matters of their own leaders, nations exalted leaders to assert themselves totally forgetting what it takes to hold those they elected to lead them strong look at what they had turned their own country into and you will know what they are up to at others, personally seeing what the economy of strengths has become where murder is justified yet no justice
Despotism eto kogda ti dumaesh tolko o cvoih a chujih ne zashishyaesh vo blago nichemu
Like I was ever interested in what it was economies are down yet they are quoting principles adopted from others unrefined to the living conditions for practicality in implementation for children to grow eti idioti mne nadoyeli nichego ne hotyat a sami proctat chobi delali rabotu za nih sami tebya je e obvenyat, those who want to keep their ignorance shouldn't be complaining tomorrow why they were left behind
To privatise something needs to be built ownership is in managing people's activities not shredding people apart for self gain blyadi to have relations with a woman for status is the hight of Ignorance

Get real with life: Interview with Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie, Founder of StartupSity.biz
This week we were in Johannesburg, in South Africa with Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie, founder of StartUpSity, a virtual startup accelerator dedicated to first time entrepreneurs who are looking for experienced and connected mentors and coaches to help them face their operational and strategic challenges. “we manufacture businesses” is the Slogan of StartUpSity.
Alsu, started her company 15 years ago, at age 18, after her family was back to Nigeria from Russia, where she held a diploma in IT.
The moment you gaze at Alsu, you instantly know you have a force of nature in front of you. She is sharp, direct, engaging and compassionate. She gives away more than she takes, and her generosity makes her the perfect partner to seek out when you need someone to listen to you and lend a helping hand.
In this interview, Alsu shared her passion for life, business, and Africa with us. We need more people like Alsu in Africa.
Silicon Africa (SA): Good Morning, Alsu! You are the founder of StartUpSity. If someone asked you to tell them about your startup in about three sentences, what would you say?
Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie (Alsu): I’ll say:
– a practice ground for starting entrepreneurs,
– a business work practice for students,
– a virtual startup business test incubator.
– a business work practice for students,
– a virtual startup business test incubator.
StartUpSity was born out of necessity for African Students, and Starting Entrepreneurs to harness opportunities for revenue, and job creation for Africa.
Silicon Africa (SA): How did the idea come to you? and How long you have been working on it?
Alsu: I have been working on this since I was 18, i am soon turning 33, marking almost 15 years on this journey. there are a lot of factors that influenced my choice of career and its process of development.
Primarily starting from the experience my family went through, as well as all professionals experienced at the time my family was in Russia, which is similar to what we are now going through in the global economy, collapsing and leaving all dreams exposed to the unpredictable future.
From the breakup of the USSR, lot of professionals became dispensable due to the change of the Communist regime. I started understanding what systems were. I saw how the respected professionals fell through the gap of systems change. Entrepreneurial IQ suddenly became of more importance both personally, socially, and business wise to survive.
I questioned myself and the common sayings like how really important is it to get a formal education, and I wondered why one should study a profession that prepares you not for change? Where is the transition gap? How does a doctor who has been programmed to think about pro-life, now has to think first about his own survival vs the needy patient?
I come from a family of high end professionals. My Grandma was an electric engineer. My Granddad was a communications engineer heading a huge telecoms company held by the government, all their sisters and brothers were professors of Medicine, and engineering professions, and all in one day crashed taking with them their lives savings in devaluation.
Many didn’t survive the change. I told myself I wouldn’t let any system get so into me as to not notice when the clock of change strikes. I got a basic diploma in IT and told myself “go explore”, with the support of my parents as well.
On coming to Nigeria, I realized it wasn’t just Russia but also here in Nigeria, people were vulnerable to the same issue, I couldn’t get a job in IT, because most employers had no need for computers to operate on.
Back to 1998, in Africa, very few people knew what a computer was, let alone any software development. So I decided to “get real with life” and went in the streets in pursuit of my happiness.
I started looking into business projects to start, as I went along while working for 3 main organizations in Automobile, Construction, and Software development, at 23 I decided to drop working while expecting my first child and set on my dream in creating jobs for students, employees who were thinking of getting alternative income and startups that needed R&D.
Silicon Africa (SA): Why should I use StartUpSity, instead of joining a startup incubator or accelerator? How are you different?
Alsu: We are currently collaborating with SolveArea an Irish virtual Incubator on a campaign to save Ideas dying off before they even get out of the garage, and looking into collaboration with more incubators that offer services that complement us and we them. We strongly believe in collaboration.
How are we different from other incubators?
For starters, we all have different focus areas as competitors. We focus on practical skills acquisition for students needing work experience and startups needing test grounds and roll out strategies.
For starters, we all have different focus areas as competitors. We focus on practical skills acquisition for students needing work experience and startups needing test grounds and roll out strategies.
We don’t reveal our trade secrets, but I would say we follow a development process. We first virtualize ideas and concepts, then test in practice before we roll out the individuals and their incubated entities.
We have specific designed process on a personal level for our clients, and on a social level for the businesses in the environment they will be operating in. Because we deal mainly in Africa, our strategy and tools have been tailored to meet Africa’s needs in employment creation as well as a gradual growth for our incubates.
We don’t do magic but we Ignite dreams. We focus on the very start on the core of a business. The individual has to be prepared for entrepreneurship before he is ready to do business. Then we design the businesses and bring all the works together. Many in Africa presume trading is business, but that isn’t so.
Silicon Africa (SA): Is there any acceptance for your concept? Can you give us some incidents to illustrate that?
Alsu: We have been rolling out systematically testing our market . Currently in Nigeria we have an information line that hosts about 50,000 hits on an average monthly via sms in collaboration with Starfish and Airtel.
Our communication channels via Facebook has produced over 250,000 hits, currently having an open mentorship for 203 individuals subscribing to mentorship via BBM (BlackBerry Messenger). We use every possible communications systems available to reach out to the market.
We are soon rolling out our virtual incubator which is currently hosted on www.startupsity.biz. We are not perfect and we do not strive for absolutes, just as we let our clients be as they are and grow steady. Africa is very vulnerable, education wise and infrastructural, to expect unreasonable returns. We grow as our market develops.
We have managed tasks for many companies in Nigeria, like Adeniyi Coker Consultants Limited, British Airways, Corporate Kids Academy, MIS-Management Information Systems, Nigerian Cleaning Service Ltd, The Roding Medical Centre Ltd, and more.
In South Africa we are also growing, we came in last year. We spent real good time exploring the opportunities and we have succeeded, we have good projects going on here and about to roll out a project hosting 2000 jobs called “Flirt and Romance” a gifts and events company.
Silicon Africa (SA): Where do you see your startup five to ten years from now?
Alsu: We aim to develop intercontinental business sites for easy deployment of skills. Our head office will be located in South Africa. We are establishing locations in Nigeria starting with EDO state where I come from. We project to be in North Africa or the middle east, and East Africa, but for now we are establishing in Nigeria and South Africa to start with.
Our vision is to lay through Youth and Community revitalization programs and solutions, integrating 400,000 individuals and inserting 3000 business projects in areas needing jobs.
Silicon Africa (SA): What is your revenue model? Can you throw some light on how did you fund your project? Are you looking for investors?
Alsu: I have made it a principle to lay the foundation on income generated through the services we provided and provide, as well as support from family. Currently the holding is solemnly between I and my Brother Osaze Odemwingie. Our plan is to take it public in reasonable time and that would require talking to companies or individuals interested in investing in efforts and finance.
We have made a service exchange gestures between our clients and us to save the day as we don’t believe everything is based on cash.
We do currently have prospects we are talking to, and sure are inviting more. We are not discriminative as our vision is to rise Africa off its knees socially and economically. So individuals small companies with value added services are welcome.
Silicon Africa (SA): As an entrepreneur, what are your joys? What are the challenges?
Alsu: My joy is that I never give up regardless of the pressures that the business world places on me personally and progress wise. I do know I am in Africa and that means I have to endure certain setbacks but the spirit of the entrepreneur is only ignited when you see hurdles, if it was smooth sailing then I would be more afraid. If you don’t bump on individuals and issues then you are not alive.
Silicon Africa (SA): How big is your team? Give us some info on team composition. Number of people, their backgrounds. Are you looking at hiring?
Alsu: In Nigeria we are currently 2 management staff, and 10 Accounts managers, in South Africa we are 2 management and 5 accounts management staff.
5 development Mentors connected between Emirates, Congo, and Nigeria. We will be hiring individuals with the following backgrounds and this also applies to our consultants:

Thanks Alsu
Here are some of the Best quotes from Alsu
“It’s often the last prince that gets the bride!”
“Those who keep others ignorant fall victims of it. you can’t fly higher than the sky you’ve built.”
“Money doesn’t solve management issues! More often it kills collaboration “creativity”!”
“Never be afraid to be called crazy “a man was called nuts for wanting to fly like a bird, today you are on a plane” don’t lose reality when implementing, but keep the dream that leads you to reality!”
“Courage is curbed at the early stage of development of a child! So he or she is unable to project themselves socially! When a parent in the bid to protect the kid don’t do it
properly they end up isolating the kid! Now if you multiply it by millions of kids what do u think happens economically! Where a nation of cowards and acts of cowardliness is implemented!”“Demand loyalty when you are prepared to give it.”
“knowledge doesn’t often guarantee understanding. the depth of the oceans are not as strong as the energy flow of rivers. old things are gone the new has come. take a breath longer than the average man, and you will swim out alive.”
“Sometimes by stroke of luck we meet Diamonds for people, but our fears shadow them over as just stones! If only one wipes the dust of their eyes we would see the glittering crystalFor those who have been hurt by those who have been hurt, do not carry their hurt! Wipe off that dust and shine again in the light that u truly are!”
“Africa the cradle of life
yet believes it is a slave!
your children are spread all over the world
yet you do not feel like a mother!
be happy that your kids are better than you.
