Please Lord Walk before me
The night is dark and stormy
Hold my hand 
And show me the way

Applications For Elumelu Foundation Cohort Rises By 650%, Forum Holds Oct. 25

Africapitalism promoter and chairman, Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), on Tuesday urged more of the continent’s successful entrepreneurs to partner in the task of mentoring and raising the next generation of African success stories.

A statement by the leading entrepreneurship-focused philanthropic organisation, announcing the foundation’s 4th Annual Entrepreneurship Forum scheduled for October 25, 2018, in Lagos, noted that this has become expedient against the backdrop of the number of interests expressed in its yearly cohort.
According to Elumelu, who is also chairman of the United Bank for Africa Plc and Transnational Corporation of Nigeria (Transcorp), “we will be championing and celebrating them. This year, we are truly achieving scale and impact; we received over 150,000 applications in 2017 alone, up from 20,000 applications in 2015 (650%).

“We are now calling on the current generation of African success stories and others to partner with us to see how we can all further create impact, genuinely transform millions of lives and increase the number of inspiring stories we will be hearing in Lagos”.
Elumelu also expressed satisfaction that in just four year, TEF has “directly impacted 4,460 entrepreneurs, and we are beginning to see the results – job creation, ripple effects, but most importantly a recognition that Africa’s economic well-being is driven by entrepreneurs: female and male, large and small – they are the engine of our continent’s transformation.
The event, the statement continued, will unite over 5,000 entrepreneurs, global investors, leaders from the African public and private sectors and developmental organisations.

The 2018 cohort, a unique opportunity to generate ideas, forge networks and bring policymakers and the private sector together, in a spirit of robust debate and interaction, the statement added, will bring mentors face-to-face with partners, culminating intensive 12-week induction programme.
In line with the Foundation’s tradition, the Forum will include an interactive session with President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya and President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, moderated by the TEF Founder.

The Forum will also feature the launch of the TEFConnect, the world’s largest digital platform for African entrepreneurs, dedicated to connecting African entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Also, Chief Executive of TEF, Parminder Vir assured that “the TEF Entrepreneurship Forum is the only event across the continent that brings together the complete African entrepreneurship ecosystem, demonstrating our commitment to capturing the whole continuum – from the entrepreneurs themselves, governments who must provide enabling environments, to capital, advice and perhaps most importantly access and network”.
Inspired by Tony Elumelu’s economic philosophy of Africapitalism and his vision to institutionalise luck and democratise opportunity for a new generation of African entrepreneurs, the Tony Elumelu Foundation has implemented one of the most ambitious entrepreneurship programmes globally.

The Programme is a 10-year, $100 million commitment to identify, train, mentor, and fund 10,000 entrepreneurs. Its goal is to invest in businesses that will generate at least 1,000,000 new jobs and contribute at least $10 billion in new annual revenues across Africa. In its 4th year, TEF Entrepreneurship Programme has empowered 4,460 entrepreneurs with a total investment of USD20m; 4,000 funded directly by the Foundation and 460 have been funded by partners.

TRUST IN GOD

If you are tired of being broke
Tired of been wrong
If you are tired of giving up hope
Look up to the sky and beyond

From heaven comes the rain
By night and doing the day
Our needs, God can sustain
Each and every day

He made the sea
And planted the trees
He gave man eyes
Beauty of the world to see

When God gives a man riches
He does not add sorrow to it
He seek man because He loves us
There is better life than the bread we eat

God never made man to suffer
But sin is pulling God hands back
His promises still is on offer
If only you can give Him back your heart

Don't let the world fool you
Life can only give you temporary gain
God has deposited greatness in you
Acknowledge it and life will never be the same

This is not a story you read in children's book
There is abundant of things you can have
Righteousness, you should first seek
The life we once despise will thrive

I AM LEAVING

I am leaving

Don't know when I will be back again

I tried to put up with the world 

But every day is just the same

No one to come to my aid

When the sun was down

I cried but no one saw my pain

Yet haters would not let me be

I thread very hard without pleasure

Yet success could not be measure

Clinged to every step I climb

Patiently waiting for the right time

But every second on my neck is a snare

Truly I never wanted to walk away

Truly, neither do l want to walk away

Nor did love, care, comfort ever came to stay.

Bonding beyond Words

The wind whispers to the sky some stories
The stone and earth could not bury them
The creepers such as weeds grow alongside
And so the rain fell on my dreams and drown them.

These stories eclipse beyond  timid minds of a feather
A white clouded day is no blunder
That flows in self determination, exploded like fireworks in the air
It whirls continuously to the melody of tangible mirage
And smiles not resilient to defeat would bother thrive on a rare notice.

But these feathers, could not be shattered but restored by hope itself
And hope conquers every obstacles my friends
It beguiles a fragile mind to be a elegant
And so rise to profound greatness, these feathers again!!!!

SUPER HERO

Maybe one day 
I will become a super hero 
When ever you are lonely
I will come to rescue you

I will take a bullet for you
I will jump in front of a moving train for you
I will catch a grenade for you
I will make sure you are safe

You can call my name
When you are having a bad day
I will be right by your shoulder
To be there to comfort you

You are my weakness, this I can not hide
You are like a kryptonite to my heart
I am vulnerable when it comes to you
Because I love you with all my heart

NEVER GIVE UP

The battle is not lost
Not when hope is strong 
Stagnation may encamp about
The world fighting against you

It is inevitable to be resilient
Life do not play it fair
Until the end of time
You have to create your own path

The sun never get weary of smiling
The moon don't just walk away from the night
Life is still evolving
You can not strike the star to become blind

When life pushes you to the wall
You have got to push back harder
Never take your eyes off the prize
The weak can not say I am a man

Climb the ladder further
Until your dream touches the sky
If life was that easy
I would not have to work nine to five

INCOMPLETE

It's just not the same
Love can not be right without you
Imagine life without the sunrise
A world broken and left to die

ONE DAY AT A TIME

One day at a time
This is all I ask Lord
May failures, my weaknesses
My unworthiness to you I entrust

Sail me through the storm
I am helpless on my own hand
Lost and entangled in a world of thorns
Choked to the very last breath

Striving to savalge what's left of life
I seek the promises above in heaven
I found out with Jesus, there is eternal life
Please Lord, cleanse me from all impurity

Perfect the works of your hand in my life
Teach me how to pray aright
In the book of life, I don't want to be blotted out
Show me the pathway to be saved

FAITH IS THE WAY

No man is born free
From the sins of our forefathers
The world since it conception
Witness the presence of God

Life is entrusted with souls
Yet stars are falling from the sky
Hopes are perishing, love waxing cold
The human mind enslaved

To vanity and fragile misconception
Lingering in the debt of the heart
But no one deserves to struggle
No one deserves to experience pain

The world is created in richness
But man is not satisfy
God's plan for mankind is infinite
But man lack the will to ask

In the mountain and valley
God's glory abound
To unlock the key to greatness
The mind need to be set aright

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Oh girl, look at me right now
Tell me it is not true
That I don't loved you
That I never cared for you

I have searched my heart near and far
All I found is thoughts of you
Build on the roof of our relationship
Is the urge to forever be close to you 

If mistakenly you are locked outside
Why don't you knock at the door
I could have replaced my old key
And forget to give you the spare

Don't be quick to judge me
My heart can not live without you
If at any time you need me
Knock at the door

LIFE

Life is rewarding
In the mind rid of doubt
She doesn't harbour hate in her heart
But forgives whomever have wrong her

Humble are the thoughts of a woman
She is slow to judgement but quick to apologize
She never betray's another
But a handful of blessing to someone in need

We can not be unconcerned
When lies hope dying everyday on the street
Life is meant to be purposeful to mankind
The door is left ajar for the heart to walk right through

But sometimes the heart is blind
Clouded with worldly ambition
They perish and rot away in time
The day the heart is hardened, she dies

THIS IS NOT RIGHT

Love seem perfect
But why does a person
Get hurt and cry?

COMBATING THE RIGOURS OF TRADING (1)

Traders who have engaged in trading on the bourse will attest to the fact that, trading is not  an easy task at all, therefore to achieve a successful trading, some strategies must be incorporated into a trader's trading style. Here are some ideas to help with the process of trading:

(1) Virtual Stock Trading
Try to paper trade the market first before trading with real money as market is a battle of give and take. The real pros are prepared and they take profits from the rest of the crowd who, lacking trading skill, give their money away through costly mistakes.
(2) Mental Preparation
One must be emotionally and psychologically balanced to deal with the battle in the market, trading area should be one devoid of distraction, adequate sleep 💤 over the night is one of the tonics of trading on the bourse, quickly resolving marital issues in order to have a stable mind while trading is also one of the strategies. If all these are not in the positive, it is better to take a day off, otherwise one is risking losing ones shirt.

Action actually Makes the Difference

The path to success is to take massive, determined action. Tony Robbins...

To those who have bought my materials in the past and to those who will attend my seminars in the future and to those who have attended my past seminars, there is a missing piece in all of what I have been teaching.

This is not about technical analysis, stock Modelling, this is not about impact of government policies or foreign investments. In fact, this last piece is not related to them. The last piece is *ACTION*

Yes, action according to Oxford Dictionary, the fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim. On a personal note, action Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Something may occur to make you regret your premature action.

Furthermore, what differentiates you who have acquired all the knowledge and can't practice it from a novice or rockie(someone who has no knowledge) is action which is a direct result of attending the seminar or buying my material and taking investment position in the market.

Sincerely, I must admit that there are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction which breeds fear and doubt.

Even if you attend Warren Buffet seminar, it will still require you to take an action. So, take Action which is fundamental to your investment success now by Registering for my buying and selling signal subscription. Call 08028164085,08032055467 or send an email to ambroseconsultants@yahoo.com

WOULD I BE REMEMBERED

Would i be remembered
Could my life leaves a trace
Or all will fade, and be replaced

As a particle of dust,in a windy place.

Hardly trying to engrave a picture
On the time's wall of forevermore
Breaking my heart..my pen..my power
To capture a ray of eternal sun. .on what i
lived for..

My life,my wounds, my tortured soul
Will evaporate to form a summer cloud
Passing by..no rain will fall
Not even memories of frustration abound.,

A silent echo, in the valley of time
An illusion..the only truth is our inner lights
Like a star..twinkling like a particular dime
Then falls in an endless night..
