ABOUT NICK

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:05:00 +0000

It was really a great session in GIS meeting. The message delivery session was Power-filled and wonderful delivered by Mr. Chris O Chris which caused undivided concentration. Chinedu anchored the program in his usual way- ribs cracking and there were a lot of exciting moment and presentations. The REFINERY Crew also did a presentation after which Mr. Christopher launched into the message delivery session

NICK VUJICIC
BY CHRIS O CHRIS

“If you were born like this, what would you have done with your life?”

COMPLAIN?

OR REJOICE?

Born on the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne ( Australia ) as the first born of a pastor, the whole church mourned at his birth and considered him a punishment to his parents.
There were doubts if he would be able to live a normal life and was not even allowed to be integrated into a main stream school by the law but his mother stood against the law and fought for the law to be changed, thereby paving way for him to become one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.
In his early years of school Nick encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference.

“There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter.”
“Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it would be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.”
“I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else”.
“Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying, self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything gets in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.”

“One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted. And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.”
“That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life. I turned my life to God and I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.”

“I am now twenty-one years old (2003) and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.”
“ I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.”
“I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues”

I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"
“Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, and No Worries!”

Nick at a glance
•He had the greatest disadvantage that is known to man
•He had to fight rejection and lack of acceptability
•He seemed to be different from everybody and no one understood his inner longings

No excuses
•No excuses should be enough to stop you from reaching your goals. Nick never allowed excuses determine his destiny
•Nick began to see the good in him and he continued to focus on them while paying no attention to those things that were his disadvantages
Values: what are they?
•Vision
•Abilities
•Longings
•Unveil
•Experiences
•Strength

Exercise
•What lessons can you learn from Nick’s life that can make you an hero in our land?

What can stop you?

If the witch within doesn’t kill, the one without can’t kill.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT........IJEH EGO

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:19:00 +0000

Inspirational by Nwanyiego Ijeh

Down but not out……….……

Slowly as he walked through the garden with a heavy heart and tears-filled eyes, life seems unfair and wicked. Ahead lies along journey without any sense of direction or signpost. Why, how ……oh God where are you, what did I do wrong was all he kept asking with no response or answer.
He pondered over the events of the past 4weeks and all he could do is sigh and wished there is someone to hold him and tell him that everything will be alright.
Does this sound familiar to you?
Is your heart so heavy and there seems to be no hope in sight?
Do you feel like ending it right now?
Are you so lonely, confused and dejected?

Joy and sadness, pain and pleasure, ups and downs, life and death, abundance and scarcity

You begin to see SELF
-Self doubt, suicidal tendencies
-Emotional instability/ low self esteem
-Lost of vision/ focus (blindness), lack of self confidence and self belief
-Frustration

Maybe you are asking these questions and much more what you are reading now may not even make any sense to you, do you know what? DON’T QUIT
The fact that you are going through these is an indication that there is a solution and it lies deep down inside of you.
Try and remember all the things you have accomplished, the little things to be grateful and thankful for – the air you breathe, the sunshine and rainfall, your hands and feet are still intact, the fact you can still think and even see and analyze your situation and realize that you need help…..and so much more.

Write out all your strength and weakness in a tabular form. You would be amazed to discover that there is so much potential and greatness inside of you because there is more to you that meets the ordinary eyes – you are EXTRA-ORDINARY
Celebrate your self, say nice things to yourself and please focus more on your capabilities/ strength.

Look for people you trust and believe in you talk to them and you will also do well to make new friends that share the same values, ideas and principles.
And always remember that you are a work in progress, a product who is not without a manufacturer so don’t be too hard on yourself. Your manufacturer has not given up on you so why quit?
There is still much ahead of you so much greatness, so go ahead and write that book, sing that song, act on that idea, don’t delay or have a second thought. ACT NOW
I believe in you and this generation applaud and celebrate you.
The fact that you are down doesn’t mean you are out. Remember when you are down you can’t go further down than down, and when you are down the only thing you can do is to look up and ahead. So look up and tell me what you see?
A new beginning, new opportunities, clear and bright skies, new dreams, visions and so on. Your down situation is what qualifies you for his lifting because He can only lift when you are down so reach out because it’s your time to believe and rise again.
You are down and not out so let Him lift you as we meet AT THE TOP.

DEOLU & TOPE AKINYEMI AJEGUNLE STORM

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:02:00 +0000

DEOLU AND TOPE AKINYEMI IN AJ.

What a meeting it was on sunday as Deolu Akinyemi and his lovely wife arrived the jungle city to impart our people.
They arrived the meeting at about 6pm after Praise has mounted the podium and in his characteristic manner treated the house to a menu on STOLEN WATERS
Praise spent time challenging the thought pattern of the people by asking How can water that is readily available be stolen and how can water that is classified as tasteless becomes sweet. It is all a matter of perception.
Praise said if we are not careful what is readily available would be stolen and what is tasteless would become very sweet. He took us down memory lane to what we believed before now and how the media has exchanged our truth for a lie such that we now live lies as truths.
what is it in a lady's backside that gets guys crazy? PERCEPTION
what is in the breast that makes every guy long for it? PERCEPTION
He said we should learn to master our sexuality lest we fall prey to societal norms.

Deolu Akinyemi continued from where Praise stopped and said he was glad to be in Ajegunle. He went on to challenge the house about their self esteem using his life.......
How would have believed that the almighty deolu once sold bread and eggs?
Would you ever believe if you were told that deolu was once a barber?
He taught us dignity of labour; the fact that we all need to get busy. He said where we are is nothing compared to where we are going but we must become very busy and allow life throw us around.
He narrated a story of the king that wanted fresh fish but all the fish they brought to him were rejected becuase according to him they were not fresh
some for lack of activity because what makes a fresh fish is activity. The people eventually brought a fish that had been pursued by the shark all day and the king confirmed the freshness of the fish.
He challenged us not to stay idle because what we are doing now is a preparation for our future.

The house broke into two sessions afterwards where Mrs Tope had a great session with the ladies challenging them to padlock their vagina and make it ready for the king.
Deolu on the other hand shared from the life of Joseph using the 5Ps
Plain - a place where everybody is at the same level but also a place to catch a vision
Pit - a place that is lower than the plane where you are paid peanuts. It is a place where your self esteem is questioned and people look down on you. The pit is a place of rejection and dejection where your reality doesnt reflect what you saw
Portipher - A place where you work for someone else. YOu have to prove yourself so well here that your boss must see you as indispensable. But it is also a place where you would be tempted to compromise and sell your destiny for pleasure. This is where your sexuality is questioned
Prison - A place of loneliness where you are alone and weighed down by your problems but a place where you must learn to interprete other people's dreams and forget your own problems because in meeting their needs is where you get your own needs met
Palace - A place of celebration and corronation. This is the place where you are paid more than you deserve.

he ended the session by leading us through a journey on positive confession

it was an awesome time with Deolu and tope akinyemi
we love you in ajegunle and look forward to having you back very soon
we love you sir and ma.
God bless you
join deolu on http://www.deoluakinyemi.com/

Join us next week as National Association of crazy artiste takes over the house in a creative day of lafta.

YES I CAN.. cultivating a positive esteem

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:15:00 +0000

YES I CAN.. cultivating a positive esteem

What a day! and what a meeting! on a father's day.
It was anchored by Ego Ijeh and she took time out to celebrate our father in the house Praise Fowowe who in his response qualified men who are not taking responisbility as nothing but an ejaculation of nothingness after which he took the whole house through a session on self esteem here is an exerpt of the message

answer the following questions

-Do you feel bad when others around you succeed?
-Do you feel threatened when someone else gets what you desire?
-Do you feel inferior when you see others who seem to be better, smarter or better dressed than you?
-Do you look down on others when you are around popular figures or celebrities?
-Do you feel very lonely when you are alone?
-Do you ever get to say no to people you love/respect when you feel what they are doing is wrong or you give in?
-Are you scared of offending/losing someone you love that you become jealous of other people around the person?

-Do you become very aggressive when you hear people say something bad about you?
-Do you go out of your way to meet new people?
-Do you have a silent fear that you are not good enough?
-Do you always keep quiet in a group even when you know the right answer for fear of making a mistake?
-How often do you hear your fathers affirm you, say I love you or tell you how good you are?
-Do you rely on what you are doing presently to determine how you feel about yourself?

According to University of Texas

Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to assess ourselves accurately (know ourselves) and still be able to accept and to value ourselves unconditionally.
This means being able to realistically acknowledge our strengths and limitations (which is part of being human) and at the same time accepting ourselves as worthy and worthwhile without conditions or reservations

according to Praise there are a lot of factors responsible for the development of our self esteem and they are as follows

1.Upbringing – childhood experiences

-Acceptance Vs Rejection
-Respect Vs Comparison
-Love Vs Hatred
-Affirmation Vs Abuse
-Forgiveness Vs Accusation
-Virtue Vs Vices
-Wealth Vs Poverty
-Believe Vs Fear

2. Past experiences –
-Successes Vs Failures
Academics
Relationships – Abuse
Finances

How many times have you heard the words:
-Impossible
-You will fall
-You can’t have it
-Do you want to die?

3. Peer influence

-Bully
-Friendships
-Segmentation – beauty/ugly, tall, short, legs etc

4. Religious orientation

5. Societal/media influence

how do we define success, beauty, love, wealth etc

Praise challenge the whole house to get out of themselves and realize that 'You are a house under construction and no one has a right to judge a house under construction'

taking a cue from Barrack Obama praise ended his presentation with shouts of Yes! you can

even if the world doesnt believe in you...... show them you can

no matter the pastor or witch that has told you you can't .... tell them you can

irrespective of how many times you have failed.....yes you can

no matter the voice telling you its not possible....yes you can

yes you can , you can and you can.

UNMASKING THE MONSTER

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:23:00 +0000

Leaders are made and destroyed in the secret place?

LEADERSHIP AND SCANDAL

Early this month the Lord began to speak to Praise Fowowe about what this month would look like as it concerns our sexuality and you may want to read about it on www.praisefowowe.org/blog

It was a great time at the meeting with NACA setting the tone of what to expect with theur wonderful piece. Mc Gani(old soldier) anchored the meeting and it was another full house as usual

Mr Praise Fowowe took us by storm by delving into Sex related issues and how we must be very careful of the lives we live today as it affects our tommoro

here is the exerpts

Bill Clinton + Hillary Clinton = Leadership

Bill Clinton + Monica Lewinsky = Impeachment

Bill Clinton -Monica = Extra-ordinary role model

Eliot Spitzer = Future President of America

Eliot Spitzer + Kristen = Disgrace

Ronaldinho = Most skillful footballer

Ronaldinho + Call girls = Outcast

R.Kelly(currently facing trial for child pronography and could be jailed for 15years if found guilty), Mike Tyson, Ibeabuchi(touted to be the best boxer after tyson)and Godwin Opara(who was expected to become the greatest footballer by Pele) all have something in common. Sex cut their career short

WHO IS THE NEXT CASUALITY?

WHO WILL BE USED TO BRING YOU DOWN?

CAN YOUR PAST OR PRESENT DESTROY YOUR FUTURE?

HOW WEAK ARE YOU AT THE MOMENT?

Leadership without moral character is like a beautiful car with a faulty engine; it may travel some miles but it can’t travel too long before the engine stops and where the engine stops is where the car stops.

Vocal authority can’t be effective unless it is backed by moral authority

Praise Fowowe

…that I may not do anything that will make me ashamed of myself whether I live or I die
Paul of Tarsus

What do you see when you meet a woman?

-A friend
-A sister
-A mother
-A neighbour’s queen
-A hole
-A thing

What is Sex?
Sex is a covenant exchange of life, love and pleasure between the man and the woman in the marriage environment for the purpose of unity, procreation and the expression of marital love

What is Breast

Milk manufacturing factory of the woman with a specialised consumer – infant and acts as a secondary sex organ for sexual pleasure.

VAGINA

… The sealed parcel of land of the woman that is exclusively preserved for the king’s cultivation in the marriage environment.

SEMEN
…the male’s choice seed that guarantees the preservation of the future

Which is more beautiful: The babe/guy or your destiny?

…O my son, whom I have dedicated to the Lord, do not spend your strength on women-the royal pathway to destruction
Mama Lemuel

REMEMBER?

Bill Clinton was on his way to becoming the best ever US president until Lewinsky was introduced into his life and he ended his destiny

Spitzer was going to become the future president of US until the Kristen came calling and he was not only disgraced out of office but also bid farewell to future presidency.
- David never survived his one day madness
- Samson never survived Delilah
- Solomon never survived strange his women
- Reuben never survived Bilhah
What makes you think you will survive?
CAN YOUR PAST OR PRESENT DESTROY YOUR FUTURE?

Now is the time to start afresh
- Open up
- Aplologize
- Forsake
- Make it a testimony

Now is the time to make a fresh commitment
I pledge to my God and gender
To keep my body from pre-marital sex
To treat every lady as my mother, sister, daughter and my neighbour’s queen
To defend their virginity
And uphold their chastity and purity
So help me God

COMMON COURTESY III

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Thu, 22 May 2008 10:31:00 +0000

Another beautiful moment in Gold in the Slum as Gani moderate the first and second session of the meeting.There were so many presentations after which Mr Praise Fowowe walked to the stage for the continuation of the previous sunday message(common courtesy)

COMMON COURTEST

(31) From orderly queues (standing in lines) and wait patiently for your turn e.g. boarding a bus
(32) When yawning or coughing always cover your mouth with your hand
(33) Offer a firm handshake lasting 3-5 seconds. Upon greeting and leaving maintain good eye contact during your handshake. If you are meeting several people at once, maintain eye contact with the person you are shaking hands with, until you are moving on the next person.
(34) If you accidentally bump into someone say ‘sorry’
(35) Men and women both hold open the door for each other. It depends on who goes through the door first.
(36) Avoid talking loudly in public
(37) It is impolite to stare at anyone in public.
(38) Do not ask a lady her age.
(39) Do not pick your nose in the public. If your nostrils need bugging, use a handkerchief.
(40) Do not spit. Spitting in the street is considered to be very bad mannered.
(41) If you sense a sneeze or cough coming on, cover your nose and mouth with your left hand thus, leaving your right hand clean for shaking hands.
(42) A gentleman at a social dinner party holds the chair and seats the female on his right.
(43) When sitting woman should cross her legs at the ankles. For one thing by crossing one’s legs at the knees, one is cutting off circulation and can end up with spider veins. It is not considered lady-like to cross one’s legs at the knees especially if one is wearing a short skirt.
(44) Introductions include one’s title if appropriate or Mr., miss, Mrs. and the full name.
(45) Use a pedestrian bridge where available and avoid across the road.

THE BIRTH OF GIS SECOND SESSION
The second session commenced immediately after the first session at about 6:00 pm.
The facilitation of the program was done by Gani. Mr.Tene was interviewed about his past, present and the future after which Uncommon Papa was invited to the stage for rib cracking presentation. The session witnessed over 100 participants. Mr. Praise shared with them on a topic titled 1400 AD

The different between Nigeria and the develop world is ……CHANGE
Change that happen to us
Change that happen around us
Change that we make happen

Three types of people

People that resist change
People that React to change
People that Reject change

-Plan and prepare for change
He who rejects change is the architect of decay
The only human institution that rejects progress is cemetery
Types of people
(1) Makes things happen
(2) Watch things happen
(3) Wonder how things happen
-Where you are now is nothing compared to where you are going
-What you have now is nothing compared to what you can have
Your background has no right to put your back on the ground.
Mr. Praise gave a brief history of Thierry Henry popularly known as Igwe in Nigeria.
- What you say about yourself is important.
- Don’t settle for less
He asked his audience some questions from the story of Thierry Henry. This goes thus
- How many people pay you money for shoe you put on
- Where are you now?
- Where did you want to be?
Remember:
You can make it
You must make it

Mr. Praise started by narrating the football battle between Chelsea and Liverpool after which he reviewed to his audience what God said to him through meditation on Monday, which goes thus.
He said God asked him
-who own Chelsea football club
-How old he his
He replied by saying;
-The owner is Abraham Ovic

He talked about the three kinds of people we have
(1) people that make things happen
(2) people that watch things happen

COURTESY

COMMON COURTESY
-Manners are of more importance than laws.
-Manners are what Vex or Soothe, Corrupt or Purify, Exalt or Debase, Barbarize or Refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible, operation, like that of the air we breath in.-Our manners, then, are the clothes we wear; it reveals what type of person we are.

(1) Whenever someone threats you kindly, show your appreciation, express your gratitude and offer your thanks.

(2) Scatter the dark clouds of gloom and spread sunshine with your smile. Remember a smile is a curved line that can straighten many problems.

(3) Recognize the achievements of others, not with shallow flattery, but with sincere and warm praise.

(4) Respect the opinions and decisions of others, even if you disagree with them.

(5) Treat others with respect. Treating royalty, political leaders or movie stars with respect, is a common occurrence, but treating beggars, the homeless with respect is the mark of greatness.

(6) Act kindly towards others without expecting anything in return. To act in the expectation of a reward cancel
(7) Don’t open a closed door until you have knocked and waited for permission to enter.-He said guys should open the door and wait for the lady to enter first.

(8) Don’t go into anyone else’s bureau, desk, box, or papers at home or anywhere else without his permission.

(9) Don’t read anyone’s mail or anything he has written (e.g. a diary) unless he ask you to.

(11) Never reach for any food that is not right in front of you. Ask someone to pass it. And if you are passing something, don’t help yourself along the way.-If you want to take pure water pour it inside a glass cup.- When you act like your future; your future has no right than to accept you.

NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING NEW
Felix Ekpa

Hello Viewers,

Today event was another exciting, beautiful and informative moment in Gold in The Slum. The facilitation of the program was being done by our own gifted MC/Comedian Chinedu Ude a.k.a Too Much who in his creative and humorous pattern anchored the activity in a very impressive manner. There were presentations by different people and NACA (National Association of Crazy Artist) after which Mr. Praise Fowowe called on all the eight groups’ leaders for their next task. The task was to get Mr. Adeolu Akinyemi (CEO, Generis Solutions) autograph. After the group task Mr. Praise invited the speaker of the day, Mr. Felix Ekpa to the podium.

THE COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO MAKING MONEY IN 2008

Mr Felix Ekpa started the session by narrating the use of skills,using an illustration of Lion and Gazzile.

The Gazzile always pray that God should make his feet to run fast while Lion also Pray that God should grant his feet to run fast to catch his prey.

which among the two prays will God answer?

-Don’t invest
investment might be risky
-Don’t eat fish
you may swallow a bone and die
-Don’t travel
you may have an accident
-Don’t visit the hospital
the doctor might make a mistake and you die
-Don’t ask a lady out
-Don’t go for that job interview
-Don’t dream
-Blessed are the hopeless
-Blessed are those who Pass Over Opportunities Repeatedly because they shall be called POOR
-Blessed are those who are ignorant today

Advised Strategies
Never be afraid to do something new. Remember Amateurs built the Ark; Professional built the titanic.
(1) Have a balanced Portfolio closely related to your age.

(2) Learn as you go (B.I.T) Billionaires In Training. Training that will awaken the financial genius in you, it was designed by Robert Kiyo Saki, and it’s very fun way of learning how to become more aware of opportunities that exist around your everyday life and how to tap into them. In one night you will learn how to keep balance sheet of your total income and expenses and how to get your passive income to exceed your total expenses and this simple formula is how to get out of the rat race.
During the message He asked a question: does it take money to make money?
Felix said it takes information to make money in which he gave an example of Lateef who make 80,000 a day by selling Undressing sex DVD.

He makes emphasis on
-Investment club
-Real Estate
-Foreign Investment
-Foreign Exchange

(3) Be a part of a social Network. Because in the near future your network will determine your net worth.

(4) Learn how to use virtual capital to make money.

(5) Do not put all your eggs in one basket unless you are ready to guard it with your life. Use all the investment vehicles available to balance your portfolio, this is also referred to as risk management.
He concluded by saying you have no excuses to be poor.

Gold in the Slum 20/04/08
What a beautiful and a unique Sunday as the Gold in the Slum meeting experienced a huge number of participants. It was really one of the most successful meetings which the network experienced over 30 new timers and a great turn out from the old members as well. Ijeh Ego facilitated the program in her very appreciative way and there were also presentations from the audience. There were presentations by each group about the group’s name, vision, mission and their manifestos. Mr. Praise took over the group’s presentation and election after which he launched into the coaching (message delivery) segment.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION
-People like this have no plan for their lives and end up with nothing

-Poor people spend their money on liability.

Lucky Luciano said….
If I come back to this world again, I will do a lot of things differently. It took me so long to discover that it takes the same level of hard work to make an honest million dollars as it takes to make a dishonest million dollars.

-While the rich buy the future; the poor eat the future
-While the rich are willing to pay the price; the poor leverage on what is available
-While the rich buy based on need; the poor buy based on want
-The rich are driven by their goals while the poor are driven by their appetite for vogue
-While the rich seek to outdo themselves, the poor seek to outdo others

Golden Question
What will happen if I don’t buy it now?
What will happen if I don’t have it now?
What do you buy?

Which of the following do you posses at the moment?
(1) Blame
(2) Argument
(3) Greed
(4) Instant gratification
(5) Over concert
(6) Irresponsibility

Keynote
That everyone is doing it doesn’t make it right
That you are the only one doing it doesn’t make it wrong.
Remember that, both the rich and the poor are asking the same questions but for different purpose.

HAMMER TO HUMMER 2-PRAISE FOWOWE

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:20:00 +0000

HAMMER TO HUMMER 2-PRAISE FOWOWE

We began to see the effect of the tipping point today at the meeting as we had a full house today.

Ego Ijeh was the anchor for today's meeting and true to her nature she took the house to a level that the audience kept asking for more.

It was the birthday of our executive director Mr. Chris Olukoju so the whole house took out time to celebrate our Big, Strong, reliable Christopher Olukoju.

There were so many different presentations and one was targetted at celebrating our president and father Praise Fowowe

At exatcly 5pm he came on stage to finish what he started last week on the art of selling and the exerpts of the message is as follows:

HAMMER TO HUMMER 2-PRAISE FOWOWE

Critical Sales factors
-The person
-The product
-The prospect
-The presentation
-The pricing
-The payment
-The post relationship

most of us wouldnt sell or market anything because we have given our lifes over to excuses

what is your excuse? here are 2 of the leading excuses young people have allowed to limit them;

- I am a student

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Following are some very interesting aspects of his life

1.He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
Things were very cheap that time Encourage your children to invest
2.He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
One could have bought many things with little savings
Encourage your children to start some kind of business

3.He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
Don't buy more than what you "really need" and encourage your children to do and think the same

4.He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
You are what you are
5.He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
Always think how you can accomplish things economically

6.His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
Assign the right people to the right jobs

7.He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
Set goals and make sure people focus on them

8.He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing
9.Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

9.Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

His advice to young people:
"Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and Remember:
A.Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B.Live your life as simple as you are.
C.Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.

D.Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E.Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F.After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life."

2. I am handicaped

But there is a Nick who has risen beyong his physical situation to become a better person

Sales factors – The price

-How much is the solution worth?
-How much are you helping the customer save in the nearest future?
-Is it an investment or an expense?
-How much will you be willing to pay for the same product if you were in the prospect’s position?

Sales factors – The payment

-How easy is it to make payments?
Always avoid products that will make you lose your prospects – products that require looking for change.
- Leverage on technology.

Sales factors – The post relationship

-Go beyond making a sale to starting a relationship.
-Maintain a functional e-mail and keep in touch with your customers.
-Keep a database of your customers.
-Start an e-newsletter that can improve their lives.
-Note their special days and be the first to greet them on such days.

The law of the goodwill plus
Satisfied customers will come back to the old place with new customers

What drives customers away

-Neglect
-Poor service quality
-Complacency & Inefficiency
-Inconveniences
-Technical deficiency
-Manipulation
-Deceit

-Poor listening skills
-Technical jargon
-Impersonal relationships

Every customer you lose as a result of poor relationship skills will ultimately tell a minimum of 11 other potential customers

REMEMBER
You are not in business until a sale is made; and until a sale is made you are only day dreaming thinking you are in business

As long as you can tolerate your kobolessness you won’t change the situation

God is committed to blessing the works of your hands; so if there is nothing in your hand God is not committed to blessing you

It is your time to be prosperous; it is your time to sell right and sell well and hammer so well in order to hummer

You will succeed

Today's meeting in Ajegunle took a new dimension as we decided to practicalize the tipping point and the result was so shocking. It was an explosion of some sort. To God be the glory

Davieson Ojo anchored the meeting taking the people through all sorts of brain tasking quiz

The main menu today was still on marketing and sales and Praise Fowowe took us through what it would take for an average Ajegunle man to hammer in other to hammer(make enough money to buy a hummer)

the exerpt is as follows

How much of Money do you want?

How much of Money do you have?

Do you really want to hammer? Because most people who say they want money don't really desire it. and this you know by their daily actions.

The truth is; You are not in business until a sale is made; and until a sale is made you are only day dreaming thinking you are in business and the goal of a sale is to assist your prospect to make an informed decision about a solution that would be beneficial to him/her.

Critical Sales factors

-The person - Packaging, poise and passion
-The product - What problem is it solving, is it a vital need and what other benefits does it have?
-The prospect - Is he a link, prospect or a customer
-The presentation -The 7 areas you can connect with any customer at all
-The pricing - How much is the solution worth?

That was where Praise stopped for the day and he delved a little bit into the essence of easter.

at the end of the meeting we had about 7 persons rededicate their lives to Christ to make it a worthy easter.

he promised to continue from here next sunday as he looks into the last two Ps
-The payment
-The post relationship

This is wishing all our followers a fantastic easter with love from Ajegunle

God bless you

TESTIMONY NITE

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:09:00 +0000

KENNY WEDS TENE

Today was another fantastic meeting at the Gold in the slum as the Uncommon Man Network celebrates two of their own Kenny and Tene.

The meeting as facilitated by our delectible actress anc compere Florence Udu. Also present at the meeting in a long while was the first lady of the house Mrs Oluwatosin Praise-Fowowe.

There were so many presentations after which the couple took their seat with Praise Fowowe sharing how they met and their desire for their marriage.

It was a fantastic opportunity for Tene to share how they have been able to sustain their relationship for 8years without sex.

According to Tene who once desired to marry a black American until he met Praise 'It takes responsibility not to have sex during courtship and a sense of destiny' he went on 'We have been taught at the Uncommon man Network not to have sex before marriage and we couldn't have gone against that value'

Kenny on her own part said 'Tene is a highly responsible man who would go to any extent to improve himself; I knew he was the guy i desired and it wasn't difficult making up my mind'

Tene is a graduate of industrial mathematics and Kenny is presently leading her department in LASU Isolo campus.

The two of them took to the dancing floor after the interview and some members of the network joined them including Mrs Praise Fowowe and Chris Olukoju.

The couple afterwards officially invited the house to their wedding coming up on the 15th of March 2008 in Akute, Lagos state.

Praise Fowowe closed the meeting by encouraging the people present especially the men to develop themselves and become the best they can ever be before venturing into marriage.

Praise using the word Bride groom to challenge the people. He said the word means the groomer of the bride and a man that has not been groomed is not fit enough to marry or groom another woman.

He talked about the need for men to be humble enough to assist their women and it must start from where we are.

How well do we treat the opposite sex around us right now?

We congratulate Kenny and Tene and we are all proud of them. They are a testimony to the fact that God sent us to carry out this assignment and the fact that sexual purity is possible.

Congratulations

Kenny presently heads our SFC in Isolo campus while Tene was the pioneering head of the protocol team and what he did with protocol is still here with us up till now. He presently heads our investment club and wealth creation network.

PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

noreply@blogger.com (SEXPURECENTRIC GENERATION) — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:56:00 +0000

PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

How would you feel if your father calls you on a valentine's day and says to you as a daughter 'Play safe today'? That was one of the shocking revelation at the gold in the slum meeting today as we had to look at family reconciliation.

the meeting moderated by Florence udu had UKC at his musical best again before NACA was brought in to set the house on fire.

Praise came up stage to ask if the young people in the house had issues they were currently contending with their parents?

A couple of the young people had issues ranging from inability of their parents to understand them to lack of love on the part of the fathers. As a matter of fact a young man stood up to say his father never cared about him while a young lady said her father would always abuse her each time she asks for N20 from him.

It was an open forum in which people who had gone through the experience were asked to assist the young people in resolving the issues.

Praise eventually had to talk about Parent-Child relationship as he emphasised the ned for the children to forgive their parents. Some of the negative vices we have had to go through are as a result of the absence of the fathers and he challenged the people to make up their minds to be better fathers.

It wasn't the intention of our fathers to treat us badly. The economy of some of them went bad and led to gross frustration while they tranfered the agression on the children.

In the midst of these even though the mothers got a pass mark Praise made the people realised that the greatest favor the fathers have done was facilitating our birth because if the man had changed his mind at the point of ejaculation there won't have been us and we have to remain grateful for that.

The forgiving heart he said is the heart that is willing to forgive before the offence is committed and we must forgive.

Love is all that matters and that love we must offer our fathers. It may not be easy but we must do it.

Of a particular interest was Destiny's case who got to the extent of fighting physically with his father because of his ill treatment and discovered that things stood still for him until he went back to apologize.

We still need the father's blessings and can always get it if we are willing to pay the prize of humility. Praise reminded the people that no matter how difficult a pareson is he must have a soft spot and anybody that is willing to pay the price will surely win his heart.

We can do it if we let go of our ego and win back our fathers again

Praise rounded up the meeting by exposing the fact that most of the greatest men in the world today had no fathers around them to call 'My Father' but succeeded at all cost and that is why we must succeed as well.

WE CAN! WE WILL! WE MUST

ANNOUNCEMENT

TENE WEDS KENNY - The network is planing a testimony night for two of our members getting married in the month of march next sunday.

He started by taking the first step up till he crossed to the other side of the river. The villagers applaud him and the media ask him how he did it he said really I walk on water but is just that I know where the stones are which means that life is like a river. If you know the principles to apply then people will applaud you for being able to walk on a river
He emphasized that applying the things you learn is the key to moving up to the next level. You must be persistent as you move on to your desired destination.

FELIX EKPA
7 STEPS TO ACHIEVING FINANCIAL FREEDOM
It was another fantastic session as Felix started his session with a story of a woman whose children gave her a surprise birthday bash and they gave her all sorts of bizarre birthday gifts including a parrot that was trained in a seminary to read the bible in Hebrew and English.
But to their surprise she appreciated them and told them how much she appreciated the gifts but discovered that most of the gifts were not relevant. She appreciated the one that sent a car and a house but to the one that sent the parrot. She said ‘Thanks for sending a wonderful chicken that I found so delicious after I killed and ate it. Apparently she had no clue to what the parrot could do and she killed and ate it.

His thoughts today was on steps to achieving financial freedom
The 7 steps are as follows

GOAL SETTING AND PLANNING –
A goal is a dream with a date on it. There is no successful person without a clear cut written down goal. Planning is the step by step processes that will take you to the end point.
Writing your goals down is not enough; you must be able to put in motion the steps to getting there.

USE YOUR TIME WISELY-
You waste your life every time you waste time. You lose money every time you waste time. Assuming you have N86,400 credited into your account everyday for you to spend daily because at the end of each day you won’t be able to spend it the next day. How would you go about it?
The truth is that everyday you have 86,400 seconds on a daily basis so each day that you waste you waste 86,400seconds.

GO AFTER THE CARROT –
Most of us want to be successful but we fail to follow the steps it takes to get to that destination. Fix your eyes on what you want to do and achieve and let go of the pains of the process. The pain would be forgotten once you achieve your goal so the gain of the glory (goal) should motivate us to achieve inspite of the pain.
Sometimes in life we must become deaf to negative criticism because people can stop you once you start listening to what they have to say about your dream.

PEOPLE FORM HABITS AND HABITS FORM FUTURES
Successful people take the pain to form the habits that can take them to their dreams. If you don’t set your sail right as a ship the wind can’t work in your favour.
Opportunity comes to all but how prepared are we for the opportunities. What are the skills you are learning now and how relevant are they towards your future?

LITTLE DROPS OF WATER MAKES AN OCEAN
One person that does the right thing is able to influence others to go in the same direction. It may not make any difference now but after some time the difference would be so obvious for all to see. The little decisions and little decisions you take today can make a mighty difference in your future.
Our greatest fear isn’t that we are incapable; our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measures.

BE PERSISTENT
You must never give up in the face of adversity. You just need to do it one more time. Even when it doesn’t look as if it’s working, keep at it. Quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit.

DON’T WAIT FOR PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES
Start now
Improve until it’s good
Finish
Get feedback
Polish it until it’s very good.

He ended with a powerful message that your destiny is in your hands

FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT
What a way to start today’s meeting than the inspiring story of our guest speaker who spent 8years studying a 4 year course. From a no future background from a ghetto in Port-Harcourt with bad grades all through primary school he was off loaded to Lagos and gradually started picking himself up.
Without a certificate but a willingness to serve Felix rose to become an executive at Generis Solutions one of the finest consulting firms in Nigeria.
What on earth would make a man rise from such an impoverished background and become who has become today
D E C I S I O N
- We don’t have to accept our circumstances, but we must accept our beginnings and then decide our end. Decision determines destiny
HOW DO YOU GET TO YOUR DESTINY?
1. STRONG DESIRE – A desire that is stronger than death.
• Champions aren’t made in the gyms. They are made from something they have deep inside the- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have he skills and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill – Mohammed Ali
2. IMAGINATION – Imagination is what sets the pace for destination
You are the only person that can limit yourself. No one else will and could but you. There is something in you that the whole world needs.
Everybody can be rich if we all decide to be rich.
3. Talk doesn’t cook the rice – knowing is not enough, we must be willing to apply; willing is not enough, we must do.
You won’t move forward complaining about your environment. The fact that you wish about something doesn’t mean you will get it. However you must move your want from a wish to a desire.
A wish changes nothing, a decision changes something but an action changes everything
Felix Ekpa.
