The lady Accountant who turned to be Taxii driver

One of the most inspiring story I read today (international women's day)is about this lady..this is what we call "I CAN DO ANYTHING"

This is my friend, Asakpa Aghogho Susan

Susan is a cab driver in Abuja. Yes,  you heard me.  She's a woman cabbie who's breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. 

An accountant who refused to stay home after graduation,  she went job hunting.  When that didn't work,  she created one for herself.  She discussed her plans with her father and with his help,  got her car and started business. 
"At the end of the month,  I make more than my colleagues in those accounting firms that pay peanuts."

There are times when people turn down her services because she's a woman.  They believe a woman cabbie is a joke.  Some believe she can't drive as well as a man.  
Some men and women often tell Susan to go home or find a "ladylike" job like sewing clothes or selling jewelry. 

But Susan doesn't let that faze her. Each day, she straps on her seatbelt,  shifts the gear stick into drive and accelerates into life. 

I'm celebrating Susan today. 
Happy #InternationalWomensDay,  Amazon. 
Together,  we #PledgeForParity

If you need a careful, punctual,  and efficient cabbie in Abuja,  just call Susan on 08067101502.

The" Pambana na Hali yako "

Pambana na hali yako is one of the swahili phrase trending in Tanzania. In English one would translate it as " cope with your situation" but in my own translation i would  say "be brave to fight your life battles'' i am one among the people that have been using it so much, and just recently i watched a certain comic video by one of the famous Tanzanian comedian called "Mpoki"' . It made me sit down and  think for the first time, what does "pambana na hali yako" really means to an individual?to me? Well i got five thoughtful things It means that one must be willing to endure, persist and solve the puzzles that life gives him/her, one must manage everything that life throws at them. One must stay strong for him/her self and for the people that depend on him/her given any hardship, challenge.  One must be hopeful as long as s/he is still breathing. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long it takes. ...

My views on the cryptocurrency world

A friend of mine mentioned to me something about cryptocurrency thing two years ago and i really never paid attention to it, mostly because i thought about the money theft and hacking things to do with internet. Then another friend of mine in Philippines told me again about this topic of cryptocurrency and how it is beginning to rock the world of money and investment, and i decided to give it my attention and start learning about it, just the basics of where to buy the coins,how to store them, how to sell and the charges involved, the types of them (bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum,zcash etc), their values, which one is leading, dropping, the knowledge of mining, renting and etc. It is basically a lot of information that one needs to really know what they are doing before investing.
