Ten “Crack/Business” Commandments by Notorious B.I.G.

Focus on the translation and not the original lyrics. Not promoting drugs, violence or lewd words but seeing and extracting positive vibes out of negativity to better humanity.

- Rule Number Uno “Never let no one know how much dough you hold cause you know the cheddar breed jealousy 'specially If that man fucked up”- It’s not smart to let others know how well you are doing, people do get jealous especially when they are not doing well for themselves

- Numero Due “Never let them know your next move, don't you know Bad Boys move in silence and violence? Take it from your highness” - Keep your plan to yourself, discussing with others is asking them to derail you and possibly harm you

- Numero Tre “Never trust no-bo-dy

Your moms'll set that ass up” - Trust nobody, not even your mother

- Numero Quattro - “I know you heard this before

never get high on your own supply” - Business is business, don’t get too comfortable but get paid. Never mix business with pleasure

- Numero Cinque - “Never sell no crack where you rest at, I don't care if they want a ounce, tell 'em bounce” - Wherever you work or live is your sanctuary, respect it and find a balance

- Numero Sei - “That goddamn credit? Dead it,

you think a crackhead paying you back, shit forget it” - In business, never sell on credit but strictly cash only/payment for every service

- Numero Sette - “This rule is so underrated,

keep your family and business completely separated, money and blood don't mix” - This is self-explanatory

- Numero Otto - “Never keep no weight on you” - In whatever business you are in, being smart and thinking one step ahead is a necessity

- Numero Nove - “shoulda been Number 1 to me,If you ain't gettin' bagged stay the fuck from police, If niggas think you snitchin' they ain't trying to listen, they be sittin' in your kitchen, waiting to start hittin” You can’t have your loyalty in doubt. You are either in our out, there is no middle ground. Loyalty is key in business

- “If you ain't got the clientele, say "hell no!" - You will focus on building a fan base, followers or database before introducing your product, then smile to the bank

The above rules are like proverbs, not to be understood word for word but for the few with the ability to think and dissect words

The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success.

The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success. Both Ade and Emeka were born in the digital age i.e. in the 90’s! Those who were born before this period had to go extra miles in achieving their aims in life, access to data and information were very limited and technology wasn’t advanced enough to aid individual desires – that is not the same for the 90’s kids. They both attended same high school and were neighbours in Rukuba Barracks in Jos where their fathers are stationed as soldiers serving the nation. Emeka’s father was transferred over to Jos from Enugu and Ade’s father was transferred to Jos from Lagos, the boys were very young when they had to move to Jos with their parents. It was so quick and easy for them to form friendship; they are not just neighbours but newbies and non-locals in the barrack where majority of the soldiers are local men from Lanagtang, Wase, Jos, Pankshin, Barkin Ladi, Shendam, Mangu etc. within the state. As they ...

The African Approach to Education and its effects vs The Western Approach

The African Approach to Education and its effects vs The Western Approach As you read this piece, I have absolutely nothing against securing certificates - I have several of them myself. There is nothing wrong in chasing certificates, but a lot is wrong when you refused to get educated along the line and ignore local factors in the process. Obviously if you can afford the expensive pursuit then that’s acceptable. However, many are paying through their nose to get these certificates at the expense of chasing their passion and building a career out of it. I work in the finance sector and in the last decade, my direct managers have been between the ages of 26 to 35. In most cases, I am older and wherever I have an older boss, they have been in that position for a long period of time. This is what is happening in the west, people are getting on the ladder of workforce immediately after high school or college and in the process, they are building a massive network ...
