My prayer is simply that when the judgement day comes, I should not be caught up on the wrong side. Because it is obvious it won't be funny at all for a lot of people on that day, if that day truly exists or is going to happen.



Because it is so certain that heads will roll as people now live in a world of highly demoralized characters. How can a lady feel so comfortable flashing a part of her bosom zz in a photo and then uploading on Instagram? This life is ending, if am permitted to use that word.

The world is getting crazier and crazier and sometimes you just can’t wrap your mind around such craziness like the one pictured above.

It is pretty sad that the contemporary world calls this ‘fashion’ when in fact it is absolute madness, to say the least.

In the snap, the young lady is looking awful whilst posing in an incredibly heavily-ripped jeans. She may think she is donning a chic outfit but every sane person will tell you she looks like a slave in those rags.

My eyes are literally hurting at the sight of this photo. UGH!

The goal of our partnership is to oil/grease the wheel of wealth of Nigeria economy via youth and graduate entrepreneur skill acquisition. The youths and graduates are promising Nigerian that have felt the pang of frustration and misery associated with the economy down turn engendered by unemployment. The vicious cycle of poverty is such that it can work to even mentally disempower youth, leaving them disenfranchised and disillusioned at the long term prospects for their lives in their home country.

However, we cannot all fold hands because of bad governance. We must try to capture the minds of this youths at a very tender age and instil into them several opportunities that abounds in the environment Winasbet strongly believed to encourage high entrepreneurship patronage among our teeming of youth especially on viable micro and small businesses".
