How To Receive Payment Online

October 4th, 2008

Are you a newbie online Entrepreneur having no clue how to get payments for your online business activities? If you are getting confused with terms such as Merchant Account, Payment Gateway, Third Party Payment Processor and wondering what that has to do with collection of payment for goods and services you render, this post is meant to help you. For well established online entrepreneur, you may find some useful tips in addition to what you already know.

I often receive emails from my readers (especially those from Nigeria) asking for help on how to open a PayPal account or a US bank account. Reading through some of the requests, it is obvious that those asking for help do not even fully understand what their needs are and as such often ask for solution that does not fit their need. So, I will start with a little explanation on what an online entrepreneur requires to collect payment online and then make suggestions on how even a Nigerian Entrepreneur can collect payment online.

Hurray!!! Nigeria Is 48

October 1st, 2008
Nigeria

Nigeria

Congratulations to all Nigerians!!! Nigeria is 48 today. It is our forty-eight independence day celebration today as a nation. We definitely have a lot to reflect and complain about, however, a wise elder ones told me that the reason one is able to complain is because one is among the living. Dead people do not complain.

So, instead of complaining about how the dreams of our founding fathers have been sabotaged, I want to reflect and thank God for how he has kept us as a nation despite all the troubles and confusion. Since we are alive, there is HOPE for a brighter FUTURE!!!

Long Live The Federal Republic of Nigeria. Long Live Naija brothers and sisters (at home and abroad). “Naija go better whether the saboteurs like am or not!“

Going For A Five Days Vacation!

September 27th, 2008

My activities offline have been hectic this week. There has been several business challenges such that it was practically impossible to keep up with my blogging activities. However, it has been somehow more like an adventure. I feel relieved that the challenges are now testimonies of jobs well done. That means I deserve some kind of reward, don’t you agree? Oh, you expect me to resume my blogging activities. Well, that is a good idea for my online business (at least to keep my readers happy). But I am thinking otherwise.

The Nigerian Government have declared a three day public holiday next week. So, I have decided to stay offline starting from today and catch up with activities happening around me and my family. So, instead of resuming my blogging activities now, I am off to a five days vacation (not sponsored with blog earnings like Yaro Starak). My better half is footing the bills (that is one of the main reason for the excitement, call me a stingy businessman who loves freebies if you like).

I still consider the physical world as been much more interesting than the virtual world. If you reason otherwise, drop a note to tell us about it. Till I return, stay cool. For my Naija friends, happy holidays. Cheers.

Naija

September 20th, 2008

Definition of the word Naija

Naija

Naija

What is the meaning of the word Naija? The word Naija is a slang use by Nigerians especially those in diaspora to fondly refer to themselves. It therefore refers to Nigeria as a country and also Nigerians as a people. For example, a Nigerian in diaspora might say something like, “I be Naija Proper” meaning, I am Proudly Nigerian. While if he says, “I dey go Naija” he is simply saying he is taking a trip back home, i.e. he is visiting Nigeria.

Well, that is it. When next you hear the word Naija, be rest assured that a Nigerian who is Proudly Nigerian is talking about Nigeria or the citizens of Nigeria. In recent times, the slang is gaining wide acceptance even among Nigerians at home. So, all over the world wide web, you can find webmasters who are showing that they are proud of Nigeria, the most populous country in Black Africa. They often incorporate the word Naija into their domain names. I happen to be one of them. Because I am proudly Nigerian, my website url is named, www.NaijaEcash.com Anywhere I find myself, I am proud to reveal my identity as Proudly Nigerian.

Nigerian Infopreneurs And The Burden Of Integrity

September 19th, 2008

Info Products and Seminars is what is making waves in Nigeria now. Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to replicate (maybe the right word is imitate or fake) the success of Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase who is well known as the pioneer of Info-preneurship in Nigeria.

Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase spent years working to establish himself as a reputable Infopreneur in Nigeria. His vision according to him is to empower the jobless and unemployable youths (unskilled graduates and non-graduates) in Nigeria. This is evident in his approach to his information business. Everyone that has come into contact with this man testifies of him as a man of Integrity! His efforts over the year has finally paid off as he has now become an authority in the packaging and sale of info-products in Nigeria. His passion for improving the lot of youth has yielded fruits in so many lives.

Unfortunately, the same tools which he successfully, used in empowering many jobless youths are now being employed by some new self-proclaimed Infopreneur Gurus to exploit unsuspecting Nigerians. The major cities of Nigeria are now filled with advertisements of InfoProducts and Seminars that promises to turn the fortunes of Nigerians. Unlike the pioneer’s product, these promises are just empty promises as the people behind those adverts do not value or care about INTEGRITY in business. Read the rest of this entry »
