In spite of the economic strife that everyone finds him\/herself in, I remain untouched. \u00a0I am not even perturbed by all the financial woes that people are in. \u00a0I’m sorry that people are losing their homes and jobs, and I’m sorry that some people don’t even have food to eat, but as for me, the economic wahala is yet to touch me. \u00a0And considering this genius idea that I have for staying afloat, I can go ahead and assume that I will be just fine. \u00a0No, I do not have a mega-paying job…and neither has anyone left a fortune for me. \u00a0I have only used my brain to come up with a genius idea. \u00a0Now, indulge me for a few minutes while I share with you…because I want you to make money too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I have decided that I will get married very, very soon. \u00a0Sure, I’m not engaged – YET, but don’t worry, God will fix that. \u00a0He has a way of listening to me. \u00a0No, I do not intend to milk my husband – although that’s not a totally bad idea. \u00a0What I intend to do instead is to give birth to about twenty to thirty girls (and a few boys – just to make my husband happy). \u00a0I am aware that the Nigerian mentality is that boys have more value than girls, but considering the economy, girls have wayyyy more value. \u00a0Boys bring you nothing but diminishing returns, but with girls… oh boy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I asked myself these three questions (which I learnt from my Econ class in high school): What to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. \u00a0The results were astonishing! \u00a0My only regret is that I didn’t think of it sooner.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What to produce:<\/span> Baby girls.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How to produce:<\/span> Seduce hubby. \u00a0The rest is history.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For whom to produce:<\/span> All the [capable] bachelors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, so you see … with the twenty to thirty girls that my husband and I will breed<\/span><\/span>, we will document every penny we spend on them. \u00a0When a man asks for any of our daughter’s hand in marriage, we will pull out our “output sheet” and calculate the simple interest plus the capital<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Formula: Principal<\/span> (amnt spent<\/span>) X Rate<\/span> (interest rate<\/span>) X Time<\/span> (her age<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n
100<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Example: $200, 000<\/span> X 25%<\/span> X 25<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
100<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the economic world, this formula is used to calculate the simple interest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In our (my world and hubby’s), this formula is used to calculate the bride price<\/span>. \u00a0Whatever amount I get from that calculation will be the interest. \u00a0It has to be added to the principal in order to get the actual bride price. \u00a0I wish I could tell you the amount that my example up there will come up to, but my calculator says, “memory overflow.”<\/span> \u00a0Hehehe. \u00a0Ah, that is how my and hubby’s bank account will be overflowing with CASH!!! \u00a0Calculators won’t be able to handle it. \u00a0Those money counters will break down trying to count our money. \u00a0We might even start using our money as toilet tissue. \u00a0I tell you, my husband is a lucky man. \u00a0His wife has marvelous entrepreneurial skills. \u00a0He hasn’t married her yet, and she’s already planning on how to overflow their accountS<\/span> with money. \u00a0Hmmph! \u00a0What can I say? \u00a0Some men are just plain lucky! \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course, as with every business, there is always a risk. \u00a0Ours lies here: what if our daughters decide to join the convent?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
