Nigerian President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari Sets Out His Agenda

In Kano on Wednesday, the victory of Muhammadu Buhari made for news and commerce. It was Nigeria's first peaceful transition at the ballot box. 
KANO, Nigeria — Nigeria’s president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, did not smile while making his acceptance speech on Wednesday — understandably, as terrorism and corruption were his main talking points.
A day after piling up substantial vote totals against the incumbent president, Mr. Buhari, a former general who once rose to power in a military coup, further consolidated something extraordinary for Nigeria: the peaceful passing of power from one political party to another through the ballot box.
The country is now a democratic nation like others, Mr. Buhari suggested Wednesday, both in his words and in the fact that the democratic process had worked well enough that he could give the speech at all.
But in his remarks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, Mr. Buhari also bluntly enumerated two scourges in this giant democracy: the ruthless onslaught of the Boko Haram militant group and the “evil of corruption,” as he put it.

GETTING OFF THE ANTI-WEALTH PLAN

Image
    With Strong Future International (SFI), getting of the Anti-Wealth Plan is EASY Though painful to say, most people go through their entire lives on what we call the "Anti-Wealth" Plan. Others call it the "40/40/40 Plan." That is, work 40 hours a week for someone for 40 years and retire with $40 in the bank!     That's somewhat of an exaggeration, of course, but the U.S. Social Security Board, for example, has reported that 85 out of 100 Americans won't possess as much as $500 in savings by age 65.

MAKE SURE you understand this: If you ever want to acquire real wealth, you're just not going to get there trading hours for money. The world's wealthiest people have known for hundreds of years that if you want financial freedom, you MUST tap into at ...
