Islamic University College of Ghana Morns Sanusi Salisu

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.  Sanusi Salisu a graduate student of Islamic University college of Ghana drowned at the beach. The sad event happened when Sanusi Salisu after a football match at the independence square went to wash up and destiny did what it does.   Sanusi Salisu was a loyal fan of manchester united and hearts of oak. his last facebook post was a video of a match between arsenal and other english team, as he was makin...

Banker and CEO of NTV to Launch 2nd Book

Image
If you pick any 10 people at random off the street and ask them all whether they’d like to be rich, chances are all 10 will say yes. But if you ask those same 10 people what they mean by “rich,” you’re likely to get 10 different answers.  One person, perhaps, would say that a million dollars is enough to make you rich, while another would say that it takes 10 million. Still others would give answers that weren’t expressed in dollar terms at all. They’d say that wealth means having a big house, a boat, and a private jet – or maybe just a comfortable home and good   health insurance . But the truth is, we don’t all know what “rich” means, because it means different things to different people. And if becoming wealthy is one of your personal financial goals, it’s important to think about exactly what wealth means to you. You need to have a clear idea of what your dream of wealth looks like what kind of rich person you want to be be...
