The P-factor
The funny reality we often ignore is the fact that everybody wishes to be great,
successful and impactful yet not everyone actually becomes great. Ideas rules the
world people say but ideas not organized may result in fruitless efforts and
energy. More often than not people have expressed their desire to succeed in
thoughts, write ups and words yet they ended up achieving little or nothing. In
some cases potential visionaries even take the most daring step on the way to
success; starting and still end up getting stranded somewhere on the journey to
the desired goals Why? Desires alone are never and can never be sufficient or
efficient in achieving any goal in life, there is need for a constructive sighting and
cognitive arrangement of this desires into action schedules hence the P-factor.
The P-factor is a self orchestrated acronym for planning, a necessary factor in
success. Most frustrated and unaccomplished dreams were due to the poor initial
planning by either the visionaries or the enactors of the vision. Its commonly said
that he who does not plan, plans to fail so what is planning?
Planning is an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action. It is a
conscious attempt to state and organize a set of sequential strategic steps of
achieving a set goal (Julius O Akubo). Planning is important to any organization
that must succeed just as it is important to any individual that must be
productive. Thus it is very necessary to know how to plan with cognitive
understanding of the features of a good plan.

Features of a Good Plan

What makes a plan useful and effective are the features that make up the plan
hence in planning you must consider the following features:

Treasure magazine

1. Time Bound: Every plan that sidelines time is a plan that will soon become
irrelevant and inapplicable. Time with respect to the past present and future
occurrences must always be considered in drafting out a plan for a desired goal.
You can't for instance desire to purchase a piece of land and expect to get that
piece of land with precision if you have not stated a desired time for that desire to
become a reality. Make your plans with the consciousness of time and you will
always be ahead in your endeavors
2. Objective: Aside from precision in timing a plan must always be objective.
Objective in the sense that, the target of the plan is clearly stated. Once there is
no destination every way becomes a road. So in drafting a valid plan the objective
(i.e. what the plan should achieve) must be clearly stated out.
3. Achievable: A plan that is feasible, objective but not achievable is as good as no
plan. Its ideal that you just don't draw up a plan that's enticing and intriguing, it
must also be feasibly achievable. Your plan must be devoid of ambiguity and
inconsistency. Clarity on how to achieve the set goals must be stated out in
simple terms that can be understood.
4. Considerably Flexible. The economy is always fluctuating and policy are likely to
change not to talk of the unstable environmental conditions so drawing up a rigid
plan is simply a deliberate choice to crash with any economic crisis that may arise.
This is not to say your plan should be loose and easily manipulatable by every dick
and Harry but that some unforeseen circumstances are considered in drawing the
plan.
5. Scalable. A plan that only has a high dimension in terms of implementation may
not be executed and I mean may not. The point is your plan should be such that
you can break into beats from which you can handle step by step per time. Let
your plan not be too big that you would not be able to achieve neither should
your plan be too small to be consequential.
On a general note, in drafting a plan the where, how and when must be
thoroughly considered. The future of a desire is only visible if only the desire has a

4|Page

Treasure magazine

potent and feasible plan. As I conclude I would like to give some practical steps to
follow in drafting a plan.
1. Write out your desired goals clearly
2. Conduct a basic research to know
i.How much it will cost to execute the goals if finance is required
ii. How long it will take to achieve the goals (short, medium or long termed)
iii. How many people you will need to achieve the goals if people would be
needed.
iv. What else you would need aside from the already outline needs in i to iii
v. How to get all that has been listed (i.e. I to IV).
3. Tentatively, time the goal begins from the start date to full implantation date.
4. State all necessary guidelines to achieving the goals without ambiguity.
5. Seek for professional assistance when necessary
6. Start at the scheduled time and try to maintain all written guidelines to
achieving your goals.
7. Create room for periodic self appraisal in order to monitor your achievements.
Planning is not just a necessity for excellence, planning is also a precaution against
failure. Plan your day, plan your week, plan your month, plan your year and plan
your life in accordance with the will of God.

ANKARA TWIST

BY KUYET BAMAI

The Ankara style has long been in the mens camp, we have people like Jidenna
making this trend a die for with the way he styles it and his design choice too. In
my opinion however I think its important to choose a fabric type that fits your
color and not something too feminine, look out for designs with vertical or
horizontal lines mostly shapes or animals, its a little bit safe to use a color guide
too, brown, blue, red, yellow, Grey and white are good colors to go for. Well for
me I played safe with just two colors (blue and white)
This was what I wore to the Denim symposium which I will talk about here. I got
pictures of it taken by a few people who really liked the design but had no idea it
was Ankara, but hey its Ankara designed by me ,yes I design too(Im the full
package)
Another thing about styling an Ankara piece is considering the design, is it a long
sleeved shirt? A kaftan? Or, a long top? This was actually a long sleeved kaftan but
I tucked it in, I am weird like that hugh!! Well welcome to the style lane.
Styling this was not much of a struggle, just brown shoes by sebago and my brown
brief bag, I wore a hat too but just decided to take a little hat break. I have plans
to add to my ankara
collection, I have loads of
designs to use already.
Most men dont find the
Ankara fabric as fashion
friendly because its
tagged as a womans
wrapper but bro get on
board with the trend

cause its actually back to stay.

INVESTMENT: A
FRIEND INDEED
Investment can be define as an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that
it will generate income or will appreciate in the future. From economic view, an
investment is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in
the future to create wealth. In finance, an investment is a monetary asset
purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will be
sold at a higher price for a profit.

To invest is to allocate money in the expectation of some benefits in the future. In

finance, the benefit from investment is called a return. The return may consists of
capital gain and/or investment income, including dividends, interest, rental
income etc. the projected economic return is the appropriately discounted value
of the future returns, the historic return comprises the actual capital gain (or loss)
and/or income over a period of time.

Investors generally expect higher returns from riskier investments. Financial

assets range from low-risk, low return investments such as high-grade
government bonds, to those with higher risk and higher expected commensurate
reward, such as emerging markets stock investments.

Investment is a friend indeed because of the enormous benefits investors have

enjoyed from investing their resources in diverse investment. Highlighted,
explained and analyzed below are some of the benefits of investment or one gets
from investing.

Treasure magazine

Money work for you: One of the primary advantages of investment is that a
prudent investor can have their money work for them to earn more money,
rather than having to earn extra money themselves. This gives them the benefit
of enjoying a higher standard of living for roughly the same amount of work.

Becoming an employer of labour: An interesting motive of investing is, one who

invest his or her money becomes an employer of labour, and save from a stress of
job search to earn a living. An investor is a/some steps ahead of one who refuse
to invest his/her resources.

Hope of raising future revenue: An investor has the hope of raising future revenue
from investing his or her resources which may include money, time etc. into a
particular investment. With this it creates a room or avenue for a better future
ahead on a compared scale to one who has not committed any resources to
investment.

Better life after retirement: The best decision to be taken by someone who works
for a private organization or for the government is to set aside some of his or her
resources on a good investment, in which he or she can fall back to after
retirement in other to have a good retirement life without depending on
retirement benefit but commit more time to the investment and enjoy the benefit
it brings forth. One of the benefit of investing while still working is that there is
hope of a better life before, during and after retirement.

Conclusively, investment being the placement of capital in expectation of deriving

income or profit from its use is only associated with investors. You can be an
investor today, one thing is needed which is decision, because investors are not
only born but investors are likewise made. Invest your resources so that you
secure a better expected end for yourself especially after retirement and also
10 | P a g e

Treasure magazine

secure a better end for family extension gearing towards you, so that your family,
friends, country and the world will be proud of you. Think of a particular
investment or business you will want to invest in, you have passion for and can
really do well in it so you go after it, remember in any business challenges is
inevitable so when you are confronted with it, believe there will be a possible way
out and success will be your brand name.

Most people have no problem

describing their ideal honey moon. After
all, movies, TV shows and books often
depict honey moon as one of the happiest
times of a person's life. Of course that idea
of what honey moon means is correct if
'happy times' does not imply all the luxury
couples get themselves into nowadays in
the name of honey Moon. If I may ask,
what is your understanding of honey
moon?

How to Have
A Forever
Honey Moon
Experience

But, it's apparent for us to understand the three etymologies of the words Honey
Moon.
1. Moon Cycle: It was the period when newly-weds celebrated their nuptials at
a particular cycle of the moon with a honey based alcohol (hence, honey Moon)
aimed at establishing intimacy between the couple.
2. Fleeting Love: This was the period that people had a lot of skepticism about
love and the success of marriages. At that time, honey moon refers to the sweet
period of a new marriage (the honey and the cyclical fleeting nature of the moonit means the sweetness of a new marriage is not a constant.
3. Bridal Tour: It was time to tour to visit friends and family members who could
not make it to their weeding.
Having known how Honey Moon came about and what they meant at those
times, I guess its imperative for you as a person to define what Honey Moon
means to you then we can take it up from there.
Honey Moon is that period when newly-weds have thrilling euphoria and
amazing connectedness for each other, having no barriers nor feeling of
embarrassment in exposing themselves to each other which make them enjoy a
12 | P a g e

Treasure magazine

purposeful and productive social, spiritual and physical (sexual) relationship.

Genesis 2:23-25, 4:1.
For me, the above definition describes what honey moon means. It's deeper than
luxury we get into, it has little to do with where and how much couple spends in
the name of honey moon.
But, in reality the real issue is not having this overwhelming joy and pleasure as
newly-weds at least even if it's for days, most couple had that, the challenge is
how to have it as a Perpetual experience as couples.
How then can I have a forever honey moon experience?
1. Understand the Law of creation: It states that if you can't think or see it, you
can't have it. Your ability to deliberately see the image before it exists is key. If I
must experience honey moon that goes beyond weeks and months into years, I
must start creating it now with the power of imagination. If only I can desire it so
well then I will have it because the desire of the righteous shall be granted. I can't
settle for less, for as a man thinks in his heart so he is.
2. Marry Right: If I will experience a forever honey moon, I just have to marry
right. It's imperative I marry the right person. Now, marrying right is not
synonymous with marring a perfect Lady/guy and marrying right is not as difficult
as we have been taught, God's will for you in marriage is not in any way important
than any of his will for you. Know who God has made you to be (purpose
discovery) and work on yourself, do away with disempowering thoughts and
negative attitude, inculcate empowering and worthwhile values because your
values and who you are is what you see in people and you are unconsciously
attracted to. Don't be scared of marrying the wrong person so that what you fear
most won't befall you, ask God to lead you into his will for you and be prompt in
acting in faith because anything done out of faith is a sin.
Keep tabs for the concluding part of this series.
I Value and Love you dearly.

Don't give up now!

One of the most potent tests of a feasible vision is the presence of challenges.
Joshua J Marine once said, "Challenges are what makes life interesting and
overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." Thomas Edison also said
opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in various overalls
and looks like problems."
Every situation makes up your past which forms your experience from where
you learn what to do and not do in the future but it only takes an optimistic
person to see life that way. Of a truth there are times where all friends may stop
believing your vision and purpose, where it seems there is nothing feasible
about the vision in fact people may start mocking you and it will look as though
there is nothing working, at such point you will have to man up and tell yourself
don't give up now. Failures are synonymous with falling and never rising but
success on the other hand are people whose backs have refused to stay on the
ground.
You sure may not have reached where you saw and prayed to be yet you are not
where you were. One of my mentors opened my eyes to something in Habakkuk
2; the vision speaks at the end but you can't talk about an end without a

14 | P a g e

Treasure magazine

beginning so what happens in the period between the beginning and the end ?
If challenges makes you stop then you lack patience.
See what the Bible says "Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,"
My emphasis is strictly on the weight and patience. Look the weight may not be
a sin, it could be depression, it could be discouragement, it could be setbacks, it
could be whatever but all you should do according to this scripture is what?
"Lay aside" and run with Patience. People may not believe you which is ok but it
becomes dangerous for you to give up on your dreams. There is always a rain
after the storm, a day after the night and a meal after the fire don't give up
now. Don't stop believing, keep all faith alive until everyone can say for
themselves what you believe and they have come to see and believe. Don't give
up now!

ENOUGH (

rational mind who tried

to see things from where
I sit on the fence. I know
so many people will say
have you been there
before? Or you have not
been there so you dont
know where it pinches.
But really, does one
need to be in the system
of marriage before one
knows that domestic
violence is a bad disease
that once one starts it, it
continues and gets worse till one liberates herself. I know some people will say that
some men are also victims of domestic violence (the type of men I call women, in
fact, not just women but weak women).
The African setting that raised a woman of which I still believe in its discipline
have in a way inputted a norm into our venom of which the women of our mothers
generation have made staying in marriage a do or die affair which had led so many
of them to their early grave. The African setting which taught women that men are

16 | P a g e

Treasure magazine

to be their all and all and whatever they do, they are dependent on men have made
so many of them to have wallowed in unexplainable pain. Women are expected to
stay married irrespective of what they face (Mama Africa). The shame of not
succeeding in marriage and the societal view of what they know not about (really,
does the society need any form of evidence apart from the result and your cry out
before they believe in your pain. Believe me, that there will be the first to criticize
you at the end, like where did she keep herself before it got to this stage). Many
women believe that once a woman is married due to African settings or religious
belief of which Africans embrace like magnet to iron more than the westerners that
even brought this religion that marriage must be a do or die affair have made
plenty women wallow and die in pain because, the mindset of an African lady or
woman is bent on all and all in marriage and in husband. Cause the choice of
getting a divorce and not having the MRS umbrella is more like a taboo in our
society and it goes against the grains of the African society and render the woman
unfit and a disgrace to the African society (my foot).
Coming up with the excuse that I cant live my children alone (why not take the
necessary action and be alive for your children rather than die with time and render
your children motherless or even wanderers).
It is enough and a voice should sound like that of reason to some of the young girls
of my time. Be wary of the type of man you move with, how should a boyfriend be
17 | P a g e

Treasure magazine

a type that slaps a girl and you still call it love, thats not love, its called evil if it
has a meaning. Why! Eehn why should a woman be beaten as a sign of love (not
forgetting that there is a type of relationship arrangement that one party have to
receive all the beating for the pleasure of the other, that one na una business but
some persons still fit die for there) those women or young ladies who tend to
remain a victim of domestic violence are people I call people of LSE (Low Self
Esteem, no matter how high and mighty you are). The need for women to view
the issue objectively to acquire or to be a form of self-awareness and a lead to
liberation and self-love. The need to weigh your options and take the necessary
step out of bondage cause if the mode is not changed, one will be stuck and
doomed for life.
My view, until women who experience domestic violence choose to love
themselves and start to feel and know how important they are, and refuse to take
up blame that arent theirs but will be held for their reaction which will have effect
whether for a short or long term, then a great step against domestic violence will
be made (cause I dont think if you really like yourself, you go wan collect all the
beating) and knowing what you really deserve, that which is the BEST cause
Queens are treated with the best, then you will realize the inner peace and you
wont even see a passerby.

18 | P a g e

Can you imagine! Women are made to endure drunken husbands, womanizers,
children neglecters, wife neglecters, and all sorts of unreasonable characters. Why
then should a woman be meant or expected to endure a wife beater (that is
unreasonable, that should not be part of it, that is basically an abuse and can lead to
early grave).
I stand against domestic violence of any form against women.
I am Aishat Abubakar and I say, any family relationship between a man and a
woman that has gone beyond communication and understanding and derogated
into victim is no longer worth keeping cause every woman is a Queen and even
kings bow for Queens.
Any man or boy who does not understand the value of womanhood should be
asked how he came into the world.
I STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.
