In many communities, when the name Nigeria comes up, it brings many thoughts and feelings to mind. Usually, they are not good thoughts.

But is this reaction an accurate representation of the facts?

“It’s not” states the newly launched Nigeria news and entertainment portal Star1960.com , and they are willing to prove their point, with data, news reports, and soon, community effort.

According to the website’s owners, the average Nigerian “in his natural state” is probably one of the highest performers and positive influencers, that you’ll ever meet.

They claim that the country’s recent past with an “obnoxiously wealthy military leadership” encouraged a new era where the Nigerian people found it more rewarding to follow the path of “jack-boot reasoning”, and short-term gratification, than any personal development goals or social standards.

Interestingly, they say, the more the country’s perceived reputation plays out worldwide and local media, including Nigeria’s own movies, the lower the country’s collective standards tend to fall, with an ever increasing number of citizens believing it may be out-of-character, or at least futile to follow a path of hardwork, creativity and merit, to any appreciable level of personal success.

As Peter Aikude, the website’s developer states, Star1960 aims to break this “destructive downward spiral” in two steps.

“Now, we are providing an entertaining magazine update everyday, of Nigerians doing great in Hollywood Movies, Music, Arts, Business and Sports all over the world. By enabling Nigerians to converge daily to recognize, discuss, celebrate and be inspired by articles of positive achievement and merit in our community, as well as solutions to important social issues, we aim to gradually build a strong, well-informed population who set higher standards for themselves, their society and their leaders.”

Apart from driving behavior change, the group is also looking for institutional support, to create what they describe as an accountable and attractive career path for all citizens who are “passionate” about bringing positive change to their various communities.

According to Peter:

“When this second part of the project rolls out, Nigerians will find it more fun, more socially correct, and more financially rewarding to engage in acts of developing their communities, as well as developing themselves”.

Peter Aikude himself, recently became Africa’s highest skilled web-programmer in the PHP4 genre, according to skill test rankings by Elance and ExpertRating.

Who is going to lose their employment? What can you do prepare for it?

Robert Kiyosaki shares what is going on in the US, the UK, and the rest of the world. To learn what you can do to prepare yourself for a profitable future, in the global economy, keep reading right now…

Robert Kiyosaki – The US

Unemployment is currently reported to be 10% in the US. In truth, it is a great deal higher when you add in the people that have been applying for work for such a long time – and have given up.

The main reason, Robert states, is because incomes in the USA, the UK, European countries, and Japan are high. Today, wages in the United States are significantly higher than emerging countries. Personally, living in Mexico, for the last four years, I found out that the wages do not compare to the United States.

Why in the world would business executives, needing to cut expenditures and increase profitability, pay more for similar services they can get from laborers in emerging countries? That’s the main issue.

What’s concerning to perceive, these days, is that workers in the federal government, not local and state, are paid higher wages and enjoying many more benefits than those in the private realm. This makes monetary problems significantly worse.

The United States needs to print more money and raise taxes to pay these new high-paid employees. (Keep in mind the worth of the US dollar is no longer attached to gold, so the government can print as much as they need.) That leads to a swell in inflation.

Robert Kiyosaki – Great Britain

Robert Kiyosaki was in Great Britain, this June, and talked about what he learned. He said that the British government has declared war on the middle class, the poor, and parents by reducing several of the social services they have relied upon.

Great Britain is taking needed actions to cure their monetary circumstances. They need to, in order to reduce the probability of going bankrupt in the next five years.

The United States ought to learn a bit from the UK. Instead, they are increasing the danger of bankruptcy if they keep on their present course. (Bankruptcy is projected to occur within 10 years unless changes are made.) Yet, government officials are more focused on what happens between elections as opposed to implementing the best plan of action for the long-term.

What Can You Do About It?

This is what Robert Kiyosaki said…

“Rather than looking for a high paying job, I continually recommend starting your own business, educating yourself financially, buying silver rather than saving cash, preparing for the worst. If the bust never comes, you’ll still be better off in the long run.” – Robert Kiyosaki

Scores of people are acting on Robert’s recommendations. They are getting interested in network marketing. Why? Because this gives one and all an opportunity to become wealthy. And you only have to have a small amount of capital to get going.

It was interesting to find out the figures. A mentor of mine, Dave Wood, told me that there are more than 175,000 people enrolling in multi-level marketing programs, throughout the globe, every week. That’s surprising. Talented folks trying to find ways to increase or replace their incomes.

And the reality of MLM is that about 95% do not realize the results they desire. They struggle, fail, or just stop. It definitely does not have to be this way.

How would you feel, if you could lie in your bed, tonight, knowing that your family’s future was safe and sound?

Will The End Be 2012?
World Will End Predictions

How many of you out there have heard of the Mayan calendar? I am sure unless you have been living in a cave for the last 10 years you have heard that it runs out in 2012. You have probably seen the television programs, recently or maybe you even saw the movie, ’2012.’ The actual date for the Mayan calendar to end is on December 21, 2012. There have even been people that speculate that the world will in fact end in 2012.

I just want to state the facts about the Maya calendar in this article:

First, the Maya calendar is purely a system with unique calendars and almanacs. The Maya civilization did in fact use this system for many years. However, it did end on December 21, 2012. There have been a lot of other claims that also predict that the year 2012 could be the end of civilization, as we know it. One is the Nostradamus Prophecies.

Ok, so we all know the Mayans were great in developing a calendars. So how do these calendars work?

With aside from a western calendar the Mayan calendar revolves around a 260 day cycle. Believe it or not the Mayan calendar is still used in some regions of Oaxaca by the Maya communities of Guatermalan highlands. So there are is a solar cycle ; this is simply a period of time that earth orbits the sun, lunar cycle, and a Venetian cycle. The Venetian cycle pays close attention to Venus. The big picture is the overall cycle, though. It will make a complete cycle on Dec 21, 2012.

So many scholars know the Maya version as the Tzolkin, or Tzolk in. Whatever you want to call it is combined with a three hundred and sixty five day calendar which is known as the Haab. 52 Haab is a form of a synchronized cycle.

There is a different form of the Mayan calender called the ‘Long Count’; this based on the number of days since the mythological starting point. According to GMT correlation this starting point is equivalent to August 11, 3114 BC.

So why should anyone care about the Mayan calendar?

It is a fact that this calendar is more accurate than the one we currently live by. Maybe, the Maya civilization did in fact know something that we do not know. They were in fact attacked and conquered by the very technology they had created themselves.

So all and all, the calender does in fact in end on the December 21, 2012. It is an interesting subject that everyone seems to be talking about. Does this mean that the world will end? No one really knows the Mayan calendar does complete a cycle on Dec. 21, 2012, though. They did foretell their own future, could they in fact foretell ours?

ROME – At least five glamorous women paid to have sex with Silvio Berlusconi at the party held the prime minister of Italy was at his residence in Rome.

Total of 30 young women allegedly attending 18 party at Berlusconi’s luxury home in the last five months. Five women each paid 1000 euros to spend the night and give the prime minister “sexual pleasure”.

Those sensational claims come from investigations into Berlusconi’s business acquaintances, Giampaolo Tarantini, who investigated the allegations, getting women for prostitution in the southern port city of Bari. Thus quoted from the Telegraph.

When interviewed by the prosecutor, Tarantini (35) mentioned the names of women who had been sent to Berlusconi’s party, along with the dates of their arrival. The women were serving champagne and get jewelry as their present.

He told prosecutors that between September 2008 and January 2009, he recruited Italian girls and foreign, including some from Eastern Europe to attend Berlusconi party.

They were flown to Rome, lodged in hotels, and brought to Berlusconi’s luxury mansion, Palazzo Grazioli, in a dark car mirror so that journalists or other people could not see them on the inside.

Tarantini was also accused of supplying cocaine to at least one woman who was introduced to the prime minister. “I thought then that the girls and cocaine will be the key to get success in the assembly,” he told investigators in Bari.

“I want to know the prime minister and for that I spend a lot of money to enter the circle of trust, and knowing his interest to women’s.”

Tarantini call one woman named Vanessa In Meglio. “Usually he’s not a call girl, but if needed he did not deny being paid for sexual pleasure,” Tarantini said.

“I set the Meglio to provide sexual services to the prime minister on two occasions in Rome, September 5 and October 8, 2009. I remember on September 5, he spent the night at Palazzo Grazioli.”

Tarantini invited four other beautiful women to the other Berlusconi party on September 23, 2008. He said, one of the woman, Maria Teresa ( “Terry”) De Nicolo, an intimate meeting with the 70s old prime minister.

Tarantini also set two other paid women’s Ioana Visan and entertainers’ girl Barbara Guerra, to go to Rome and attend Berlusconi’s party at Berlusconi’ residence on October 8, 2008. Two women were paid with some money to have sex with the prime minister.

He also said that he hopes by providing women to the prime minister could help secure his business contracts with the Italian Civil Protection agency.

On December 17, Tarantini said he set for two women to go to Berlusconi’s residence in central Rome, and one of them, Camilla Charao Cordeiro, spent the night there.

North Luzon, Philippines, particularly the province of Ilocos Norte boasts of not just the country’s but the world’s first large scale coconut plantation intended solely for the production of coconut bio-fuel as an alternative energy resource.

The Arroyo administration is promoting indigenous energy exploration to protect the country from shocks brought about by changeable imported fuel prices and help solve the global problem on climate change.

Some 400,000 hectares of land in North Luzon, majority of which will be in the villages of Balaoi, Caparispisan and Caunayan in the town of Pagudpud, will be developed and planted with coconut trees to safeguard the supply of coconut oil for domestic market demand and sustain exports.

Not only will there be development of alternative fuels but also reforestation that bolsters cleaner, fresher air; protect and restore the environment and absorb carbon dioxide.

A Coconut Bio-fuel energy plant, covering 9 hectares of land, will rise in the coastal town of Pasuqin in the province of Ilocos Norte. The coconut oil mill and bio-diesel plant will produce at least 2,000 tons of coconut oil per month with provisions of up to 25,000 tons; and 300,000 tons of coconut bio-diesel annually.

The first element of the project is for the construction of the Coconut Oil Mill plant. Covering an estimated 4.5 hectares, it will consist of a copra warehouse, copra milling section, coconut oil refinery section, copra cake section, storage tanks, administration offices and port facility. The second phase is the construction of the Coconut bio-diesel plant and Coconut shell charcoal processing plant and will cover another 4.5 hectares of land.

The bio-fuel power project is one way of solving the problem of climate change because the use of coconut bio-diesel will contribute to the minimization of green house gas emissions in the atmosphere.

Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has repeatedly stressed that climate change is already adversely affecting the world and will have catastrophic effects if immediate and adequate actions to curb fossil fuel emission and forest loss are not taken.

Bio-fuel is any fuel obtained from organic matter. It is a renewable source of energy unlike other resources such as petroleum, coal and nuclear fuels. One advantage of bio-fuel in comparison with most fuel types is its biodegradability, thus its handling and use is relatively harmless to the environment.

The bio-fuel coconut oil project will secure the region’s – and the country’s – own source of alternative fuel and lessen dependence on imported fossil fuels. It will also mean job creation and economic upturn for various Philippine business.

The bio-fuel/coconut oil project will cost P3.5 billion of which P500 million will be for land and infrastructure while the remaining P3 billion will be for the growing of coconut trees, including provisions for livelihood and employment, farm supplies, fertilizers, seedlings, etc.
