INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the pilot edition of our quarterly magazine aptly called “Money speaks”. In this magazine we aim to bring you current information about all that’s taking place in the global economy. We truly are living in a global village and through the medium of the World Wide Web the world has truly become just one mighty ocean filled where individual nations are like sharks all competing for the same food.
I doubt if there’s a single nation on this planet where you wouldn’t find a Nigerian. There’s a running joke that says that even if you were to travel to the moon today you will still meet Nigerians there looking for one business opportunity or the other.
What is the driving force behind all this migration? Money! I have said repeatedly and I believe it is worth repeating that, money isn’t sexist, tribalistic, racist nor prejudice in any way, it is the number one unifier of people irrespective of their prior predisposed prejudices. It is amazing how whenever there’s an opportunity to make money people become colour blind, and everything around them turns green all of a sudden. I have said this in several articles which I have written on this subject that the biggest religion in this world isn’t Christianity or Islam, but “Money”. Why do I believe this to be true? Because people are more passionate about pursuing money than they’re about pursuing God, and most of their prayers are centred around financial breakthroughs, business breakthroughs, job promotions etc etc.
