Do you have any 25k, 50k or 100k in your bank account that you are not using? Do you know you can earn extra income by investing that 25k, 50k or 100k? I’ll tell you how. #Thread 😊
In the last couple of years, I have tried to diversify my income stream. Besides earning salary as a Lecturer in one of the top UK Universities, I also try my hands on a few legit businesses, which we refer to side-hustles☺️
Beside these side hustles, I also have a few investments that yields very good interest at the end of every year. One of such is an investment in a Money Market Fund.

THE PRESIDENT: Okay, well, thank you very much everyone. Before we begin, I’ll just say that we’re very well prepared for the incoming hurricane. We have another coming. So we’ve done very well — North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico –so many places.
And we have another one coming, and a big one — much bigger than they anticipated a week ago, seven days ago. I heard, for the first time, there was a very small drop of weather that looked like it was forming. And now, it’s pretty close to a Cat 3, if it’s not already a Cat 3.

#Iran,
For the second day upper-middle class in Tehran are protesting and asking everyone to close their shops and businesses.
This development will make the regime weaker than before as some parts of the middle class were the supporter of a faction within the establishment.
Protests are spreading and security forces can’t stop them. We may see the end of Islamic Republic of Iran soon if Trump refuses to negotiate with Tehran.
Central Tehran is also on the streets protesting Iran’s policies. Tehran’s Bazar demanding changes and the number of protesters growing.

if you'll forgive me for the massive thread, i'd like to talk about an important moment in world history that i wish more people knew about.
today is the 64 year anniversary of the CIA-backed overthrow of iran's popular and progressive prime minister, mohammad mossadegh.
it is largely credited as the moment the united states, fueled by greed and fear, began the long process of destabilizing the middle east.
