If you know music, you'll agree that:

1. Sade > Beyonce

2. Handel > Bach

3. Lauryn Hill > Nicki + Cardi + Azalea ....

4. Sjava > AKA + Casper

5. Shekinah > Tiwa

6. Ed Sheeran > Bieber

7. Nas > Jayz

8. Dagrin > Olamide

9. Burna > Wizkid

10. Bob Marley > Elvis Presley
For the curious:

Lauryn Hill is the dopest female MC ever.

Shekinah is a hidden South African gem.

Dagrin barely blew up before he died.

Sjava is a dope Zulu artist.

Burna boy is a Naija star.

Handel still rocks.

Nas is Nas

Finally,

Emeli Sande > Adele
Guys, please engage in the conversation respectfully.

It's just for fun. They are all great artists. Let's enjoy them all.

But I really think:

Hiring someone is a promise to help them pay their bills in exchange for their time.

1. When business is slow, you pay salaries and declare a loss.

2. When business is good, you pay salaries and declare a profit.

You pay salaries first, and make do with what's left.
I have hired over 300 people across multiple businesses (both mine and as a paid manager) and have NEVER missed a single payroll even when the businesses struggled.

I pay salaries first and on time, and make do with what left.
I paid the salaries for one of my businesses from my personal reserve for 3 years.

That business made a loss for 3 straight years but the employees always got paid in full and on time.

Hiring someone is a sacred responsibility, guys.

Do onto others...

Forex Trading (Part 1) - The forest (Forexia) and the hunters (traders).

- A THREAD
LESSON 1
There is famine in the land, and one of the few remaining food sources is the forest called Forexia. Unfortunately, some monsters have already made their homes in the forest. Everyone who ventures into Forexia must fight, defeat, and steal food from the monsters.
LESSON 1:
Forex trading is a zero sum game. For you to win, someone else must lose. Those losers may be monsters (large institutional players) or regular people.

For you to win consistently, your strategies must beat theirs.

There is a building in Palmgrove, Lagos that's been under construction for 40+ years. It's dilapidated and houses drug users.

My 90-year old uncle, an incredibly successful former director at Exxon Mobil, told me the story behind the building as a cautionary tale.

- A THREAD
According to him, the building belongs to B***y B****n, one of his contemporaries in the 1960s. He claimed that B****n was the person that started the drug trade in Nigeria.

The guy introduced Cocaine to a generation of Nigerian who became addicts and miscreants in the 60s.
B***y B****n made so much money from the drug trade that several Yoruba songs from the 60s eulogized his wealth. Ebenezer Obey has a song in his honor.

He was balling while the rest of them (my uncle and his friends) were struggling to build a career.

Music in Africa is no doubt ancient, rich and diverse, all thanks to the different regions and nations having many distinct musical traditions.
Also, Music in Africa is very important when it comes to functions, religion, rituals and religious ceremonies, coronations and all. Some even go as far as using percussion instruments of every variety; xylophones, djembes, drums, and tone-producing instruments such as the mbira.
Asides, there are also different genres of music within he Africa music reality. And in fact, this include American music and many Caribbean genres, such as soca, calypso (see kaiso) and zouk.

You have a short memory, Anon.
He did remain on and in a senior role as stated by the DOJ.
politico.com/story/2019/02/…
Duration stated?
Why are key positions always interchanging?
Logical thinking by oneself clarifies easy-to-answer questions.

Departure from the DOJ doesn't mean he's not on the team and still in the game (or, by our analogy, an actor in the movie).

Applying a business model to the growth and development of children has hurt and demoralized education

Competition does not work because the true stakeholders (children, families, society) profit from the emotional and psychological work done in the classroom, when done well...
... Yet 600B is spent in the US on #ed and thousand of companies make heavy profits.

While at the same time, teachers must find extra income to make ends meet, some live barely above the poverty line, and teacher turn over costs 1B a year

Meaning a highly specialized...
... workforce, that can make huge changes and gains in the lives of the 50mil children that are in the public education system, that have the emotional and psychological experience to support the growth of a nation

gets passed over for the TRUE work that they perform...
