Another Website???
Last week our district opened up access to a new online program. This caused me to spend a few too many hours searching through lessons after the kids went to bed. I have found that I am no longer intimidated by new things, but a little too excited to try them.
These days is it hard for me not to get excited by new, sparkly toys with loud bells and whistles. There are websites that I can use to start class, to review concepts, quiz, graph, and even have students show their work and share it with me instantaneously. I have a tendency to over prepare, and this caused a student to exclaim, "ANOTHER WEBSITE?". Yes, another website, and I already have more websites planned for the next unit! I have technology overload. I also tend to spend too much time overthinking them. I stress about where is the perfect section/unit to use this? Jumping in might be scary if the conditions are not ideal. However, you'll never know unless you try! The main thing to keep in mind is not WHERE we should use them, but WHY we should use them...
For the purpose of Monday's lesson I wanted students to be able to identify functions using one of two methods. I used Nearpod, which gives an interactive powerpoint style presentation. Students enjoyed the fact that they could use their touchscreens to write on the slides. I liked the fact that the lesson included examples asking them to explain and defend answers. After the first couple periods I began using a feature that allows you to project anonymous student answers on the board. It allows for a perfect learning opportunity to discuss whether or not the answers are correct. Some students were even requesting me to put their work on the board! Ever have that happen while students are copying notes off the overhead? I mean OUTSIDE of the three or four students that always raise their hand!? Didn't think so...
Back to my four "WHY" questions, after the activity I had students fill out an exit card. I asked them to explain what the learning objective was. I had them explain what methods they could use to accomplish the learning objective. And then I asked for their opinion! Probably a first for me... hey kids, how did you like the lesson? The funny part was that most of the answers I received could be applied to any other lesson on any other day: You moved too fast and didn't give us enough time to finish the examples. You moved too slow and the examples were easy. And of course, "I didn't like that we had to take notes". I even had students complain that the website didn't give them instant feedback on their answer! One student even suggested using a review website after the lesson to go over the material. By asking students what they didn't like about the website, I got some insight as to what they like about others.
The best thing about the entire experience was the prep time. Even though I was using a website for the first time, there were already pre-made lessons. I searched the topic, found one that worked and just had to spend a few minutes figuring out how to launch it in class. I didn't have to worry about making slides or importing examples. All of it was already done. Typing up an exit ticket with 7 questions was also quick & easy. I even tweeted the lesson's creator and she gave me some helpful tips about how to present it to the class. Everything students completed was online. No extra papers to carry home, and the work is all accessible on the internet whenever I want to go back to it.
In closing, don't be afraid to try something new. Don't be afraid to ask your students what they thought. And don't be afraid to reflect on it yourself, either publicly or privately. It's like we always ask our 5 year old about trying new foods, "How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it yet?". And if you are sensitive to criticism you can always use someone else's prepared lesson! Use it as a learning opportunity for you AND your students. Use it as your baby step to change. Use it as an excuse to get out of your routine. Use it to grow.

The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) reasoning for awarding the prize this year to Business Region Göteborg is the innovative approach on which the entire strategy behind the city of Gothenburg's business strategy programme is based. In particular, it highlights the inclusive work process, which is based on dialogue, involvement and strong interaction between the thirteen municipalities in the Gothenburg region, industry, academia and other public players. The CoR comments the structured approach to defining the region's challenges and goals and how these have been linked to specific actions and activities. There are clear definitions of what is to be done, who will do what, when it should be done and how it should be followed up. The CoR also highlights the strength of the strategy being based on a long-term perspective and trust in each other, and the fact that it transcends electoral terms and is thus independent of political governance in the region.
Business Region Göteborg has one of the best European strategies for entrepreneurship!
Axel Josefson, chairman of the municipal Executive Board in Gothenburg
"In the strategy, we have developed a sustainable method of working where we together define in detail what 35 organisations in the city of Gothenburg and all the municipalities in the Gothenburg region will do to achieve the overall target of 120,000 new jobs in 2035. For example, we offer in-service training to all new employees in the city of Gothenburg for a better understanding of entrepreneurship," says Pia Areblad.
"All in all, we are working to ensure that the Gothenburg region will be one of the metropolitan regions in Europe that is best at gaining skills and attracting talent, offering the best conditions for high and sustainable growth as well as the best climate for business and innovation."

Roger Johnson of inner-city Chicago (May "Letters") is to be commended for his sincere desire to reach people of the world with the Gospel of Christ through his congregation. However, while I am not living the dynamic of his specific parish environment and situation, having lived 35 years in that greater metropolitan area–29 years prior to seminary and six serving my first parish call–I can testify that his concept that "classical organ (read: historic Lutheran hymnody and liturgy) is no longer reaching people" runs rampant in the Missouri Synod, and especially in that sizable chunk of its constituency.
It's been my privilege to serve for the past five years a congregation (in an area where orthodox Lutheranism is very scarce) with a complete and fairly balanced spectrum of ages of members, from newborn to 90-plus. Our teenagers, who constitute a very active and sizable youth group, are virtually indistinguishable from their Worcester, Mass., area peers in terms of music tastes, fashion tastes, interests, and goals in life, etc. Yet, they are not only accustomed to historic Lutheran hymnody and liturgy, they actually thrive on it. Why? Because they were raised with it as an important part of their faith identity. Worship to them is not hip-hop and other such culturally congruent styles of music (which they do listen to on their own); it's Page 15 and other liturgies, as well as the hymnody one would expect to go with it.
As for those not yet in the church–would they not be engaged as they worship with their peers who, due to the scale of their experience, are into "traditional" worship? Would we deny the children raised in our church the identity that's become theirs? Would we seek to advertise our church as something it's not?
Does worship have to always be "classical organ" in every setting? Absolutely not! But, imagine the treasure we'd be imparting on our own children and those of this world whom we may reach if all of us pastors would intentionally guide the members of our congregations, albeit, slowly in some settings, into the use and understanding of Lutheran liturgy and hymnody, using whichever orthodox hymnal, specific solid hymns, etc., to the point where that's what we'd (again!) expect to find in an LCMS congregation!
Rev. Paul E. Gramit
Ev. Trinity Lutheran Church (UAC)
Clinton, Mass.
As a long-time lover of music and a pastor in the LCMS for almost a decade, I was thrilled to see your March issue focusing on church musicians.
I was, however, dismayed to read a few of the May letters of response that seemed to indicate that traditional organ music isn't "reaching people for Jesus Christ" any more. That seems to suggest that the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is entirely dependant upon the worship music being emotionally stimulating.
In these days of abundant pluralistic practices and lax doctrine, we must remain ever vigilant against simply allowing our Divine Worship Service to be replaced by a weekly Christian music concert. When our youth (or even adults!) are coming to worship for any reason other than gathering around Word and Sacraments, then we're encouraging the wrong motivations for worship–we should be praising God, not the band's keyboardist, guitarist, or lead singer.
While I enjoy contemporary Christian music as much as the next person, if we allow the primary form of our music to mimic the worldly style that surrounds us, then it is quite possible that our worship music will soon mimic the worldly substance as well. Christian music concerts absolutely have their place on this earth, but distracting God's children from the substance of the Divine Worship Service isn't it.
My thanks and prayers of encouragement go out to our church musicians who understand the reason for–and appropriate use of–God's gift of music within the worship service.
Rev. Sean Esterline
Messiah Lutheran Church
Evansville, Ind.
I would like to share my enthusiastic support for your March 2009 issue of The Lutheran Witness, which was almost entirely devoted to church music and musicians.
I have been a choir director and organist in various Lutheran churches for nearly 45 years and was overjoyed at the support for the traditional music of our Lutheran heritage exemplified in the articles on J.S. Bach, Mendelssohn, and especially tomorrow's church musicians.
And, yes, a cover photo of a young woman at an organ console not playing in a praise band–it brought memories of my own developing enthusiasm for church music at her age.
I am disappointed at my own denomination, the ELCA. Its periodical had no mention of Mendelssohn's 200th birthday (the "other" Lutheran composer), rarely runs articles in support of tradition worship and our musical heritage, but always has breathless stories about the latest Christian rock band or "praise" worship style.
I identify with three of your May letter-writers in response to the March issue: God bless you in the Missouri Synod for what you are doing to make people aware of our tremendous Lutheran musical heritage and to be certain that this tradition is passed on to a new generation.

Most CMOs Increasing Digital Marketing Spend
Chief marketing officers at many large companies are shifting their advertising spend to interactive marketing, according to some new research figures.
Almost two-thirds (63 percent) of the 175 CMOs and marketing executives at some of the country's largest companies surveyed last month by Epsilon for its first quarterly Epsilon CMO Survey said they're increasing spending on interactive/digital marketing. At the same time, another 59 percent reported a decrease in traditional marketing spend.
In addition, while 65 percent of survey respondents said spending on advertising in general will decrease due to the current economy, 94 percent agreed with the statement, "A tough economic period is precisely the time when marketing plays a key role," according to the Irving, Texas-based marketing services firm.
CMOs also are shifting to more targeted and measurable marketing strategies, according to the Epsilon report. When asked how their firm determines their target market for each channel, 50 percent said they use data-driven marketing techniques, and 31 percent agreed with the statement, "You use sophisticated modeling tools to analyze existing customer data (behavioral, preference and demographic)." Meanwhile, 19 percent of respondents said they analyze past purchase behavior, and 28 percent said they made rough estimates based on past experience.
CMOs of the biggest firms have been early adopters of new media and social computing. They've expressed the greatest interest in social computing and blogs and the least in instant messaging and interactive TV ads, the Epsilon study points out.
- Social computing — including word of mouth, social networking sites and viral advertising — was the most popular emerging channel with 42 percent of respondents expressing interest in adding it to their marketing mix.
- Blogs were the second most popular emerging channel, with 35 percent of respondents saying they want to pursue blogs and 19 percent noting that they already use them.
- Nearly one-third of CMOs mentioned podcasting as an area of interest. In fact, 31 percent said they are interested in adding podcasting to their marketing mix and 18 percent already have.
- According to the survey, 29 percent of respondents said they're interested in mobile devices — such as cell phones and PDAs — and 22 percent have added them to their marketing mix.

There are so many articles written about how changing a particular sales strategy will skyrocket your business. Most of the time, this simply isn't true. If your sales have been on track and then took a downturn it is likely that it has to do more with the current economics than your actual sales strategy. We then panic about short term results.Read More

I have to say that Dan Martell's post "Taking a Long View on Relationships: 50 Years, Not 15 Minutes" hit the nail on the head. The older and hopefully wiser I get, I seem to have less and less patience for the "lost sellers". Those are the people who wander around trying to network 24/7, stuck in the loop of the sales pitch. I want to know what you believe in, what you are doing to make the world kinder, more intelligent or more inclusive? The bigger the impact, the more we have to talk about, otherwise- let's not waste each other's time. Do you know who you are? If not, here are a few things to think about.Read More

It has been a while.
Buster & Moo, the next book off the presses is complete, edited, cover finalised in all its forms and I'm ready to go. So I just have to format the lovely little thing and launch it into the ether.
My aim is to have it available in all its forms by mid July. Woo!
If any of you lovely people want to do me the honour of an honest review to go with that launch would you contact me via the doofee on the bar at the top. I'd be ever so grateful. If you aren't sure if it might be your sort of thing, here's the blurb.
Buster & Moo – Blurb
With their relationship under pressure, is adopting a dog the best decision for Mervin and Landen? As they adapt to fit the animal into their busy lives a chance encounter with Dave and Sheri, the dog's previous owners, develops into something more and the newfound friendship is tested to the limits.
Life is complicated when Landen loses her job following the discovery of her affair with a colleague and then she becomes involved in a police investigation into alleged money laundering and drug dealing at her old firm. She tries desperately to keep the sordid truth from Mervin as events begin to spiral out of control.
As the four lives overlap and criss-cross the one constant is their shared love of the dog named Moo. But the problems mount up. While Sheri and Mervin grow close as they struggle to help each other, it is the unlikely alliance between Sheri and Landen that leads to the dramatic climax. However, there is only room for one hero in this story – who will it be?
If anyone would welcome a guest post from me, that too would be possible. Happy to provide some, tangentially, linked content to the new book or whatever you like. As with the review please get in touch.
In other news I have had my super-short fiction anthology back from my editor for a while and that's where I head next. Part of the delay has been because I've just finished the first draft of the sequel to my first novel, Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle. We continue to follow the misadventures of Harry Spittle, now living in London and trying to convince himself as much as anyone that qualifying as a solicitor is the right call. As a teaser, here is the opening chapter.
The Last Will of Sven Andersen
Thursday 18th June 1981
Chapter One
"Hello. Is that Harold?"
Dad. He's one of three people I can think of who call me by my full name, even though he knows I hate it. He does it when he's anxious, unlike Mum who does it because she still thinks I'm 8. Immediately I'm on the back foot, feeling guilty. "Hi Dad." I try and sound friendly but business-like, hoping he'll be quick. I'm not meant to take personal calls at work, even though everyone seems to and not care. Indeed, the only people who do care are the two senior secretaries, Jean and Edith and they terrify me with their extensive range of tuts and eye-rolls.
"It's not urgent. I tried to call you at home last night, but there's a fault with your phone."
"Oh. Okay." In truth, it's been cut off because we've not managed to pay the bill. My flat mate Gary Dobbs, Dobbin to his close friends, promises he'll pay it 'soon'.
"Right, well, do you have half a minute?"
Not really, not that I say. My day has ranged from fairly dull to almost terrifying. Par for the course, actually. Ten minutes of Dad wittering on about home seems attractive. I must be getting old. "If you're quick." I'm quite pleased how grown up I sound, like I'm important.
I lean back in my chair and stare at the ceiling. I've not noticed before, but it's covered in cobwebs. The legal firm I work for occupies two adjoining Georgian buildings just off Welbeck Street, a stone's throw from Oxford Street and everything needs some attention.
"I had a caller today. You won't guess who."
I'm wondering why Dad wants to play silly games when Jean appears in the doorway. I know she knows this is a personal call and try and avoid eye contact.
"Someone from way back."
Please hurry, I silently beg as I pretend to open a file on my desk. Jean hasn't moved; she's not easily fooled. I glance up and she makes a sign that I need to end the call.
"Sven Andersen."
"Sven?" Instantly I'm focused on Dad and oblivious to Jean. "What did he want?"
"To give us a present. A sort of sorry for the trouble his family caused us."
"That was four years ago."
"Five. He said to send you his regards. He hopes to see you soon."
Jean coughs; her cough is not something one lightly ignores.
"I need to go. What was the present?"
"A box of moths. Death's Head hawk moths. You know, they all have skulls on their necks. Only moths to make a noise. Macabre don't you think? Still I suppose you told him I like insects so it's the thought that counts."
As I put the phone down I mentally revise the number of people who call me Harold to four. Sven always called me Harold. One of many reasons why I found him intensely irritating.
My name is Harry Spittle and I'm an articled clerk at Clifford Risely and Co, solicitors and commissioners for oaths. I'm into the last 6 months of my articles at the end of which I will be admitted to the Roll as a solicitor of the High Courts of England and Wales. If all this sounds at all glamorous, then the job isn't. It's closer to being indentured than trained.
Jean Sampson settles in the chair next to my desk, note pad on her lap, ready to take dictation. "Who was that?" She is seriously ancient and intimidating in a hand knitted cardigan and pearl necklace sort of way. Few things irritate Jean more than personal phone calls, though her marmalade not setting properly runs it close.
I want to lie but she'll know. Fortunately, she's had the desired effect of making me squirm so nods at the typing she has placed on my blotter and lifts her pencil. This once, she doesn't expect an answer and it's time to work. Her magnanimity will come at a price.
Jean is both my worst nightmare and my saviour. Take today. I'm charged with drafting a Will for Sir Penshaw Grimsdale, a very important client of the firm. Why me? Because the partner who deals with Sir Penshaw's affairs, Jeremy Panther is away on holiday – that's why Jean is 'working for' me, though, of course it's more the other way round. I gave her the draft to type this morning and now it's back, challenging me to look at it.
I wonder how much she has changed. She knows so much. Among her special skills is the ability to make it quite plain she cannot imagine how I'll be ready to qualify next Christmas by the expedient of tapping the rubber on the end of her pencil on her chin. Technically I will be 'qualified' as a solicitor though Jean has made it plain she thinks 'qualified' should be given the same meaning as would be used in the expression 'he has been a qualified success'.
The truth is I agree with her; I'm really not very good. To be fair, I think that must be the general view since I'm paid a salary that leaves little for food after rent and encourages a diet of pot noodle and bread crusts.
"Shall we review Sir Penshaw's Will?" Jean has soft, spongy ankles in contrast to everything else which is sparse and hard. "Let me know if there any corrections I should make."
How can I be a purveyor of legal advice if I haven't the courage to dictate to a secretary? When I started, I was expected to use a Dictaphone which was bad enough. But talking to a real person is ten times worse.
"Mr Spittle. Please. The meeting is fixed for half past three. You need to be ready."
Somehow, I make eye contact and it works a small miracle. "I'll go and fetch your tea. You can read it through and tell me what needs changing when I get back. Five minutes." She moves to the door, before adding, "And I took the liberty of preparing a note on execution formalities for you to approve."
She knows more law than I have cells in my body. I know there's no need to check but I look anyway. Gosh, this is good. I really don't need to do anything; it's all here.
My eyes are drawn to the yellow sheet that's tucked between the typing. It's a telephone attendance note, written in Gloria's looping handwriting – Gloria Eagle is our receptionist, a complete contrast to Jean but almost as terrifying. I tug it out and read it.
Harry. Penny rang. She'll be moving back in, in a couple of days.
Penny is, was, might still be my girlfriend. We shared a tiny room in a flat between Battersea and Wandsworth with Dobbin, my best friend from University and Tim Unwin, who is some old family acquaintance of Dobbin's. She moved out after a complete misunderstanding. She happened to find me locked in an under-stairs cupboard with her best friend Natalie. It didn't help that Natalie and I have some history, nor that when we stumbled out there was a sooty hand print on Natalie's left breast which Penny surmised was mine. I was trying to find the door catch but neither of them believed me. It wasn't like we were there because I planned it. We were waiting for Penny to come home when a fuse went. I asked Natalie to hold the torch while I fixed it; only she dropped it, the bulb broke and the door shut behind us.
Maybe I should have made more of a protest but they were both so bloody sure I did it deliberately I left them to their righteous (in their eyes) indignation, expecting to be forgiven when I got back. That backfired because when I did return from the pub, there was a note saying Penny was going to stay with Natalie at her poncy flat in Wapping. She lives there with her second husband, a slime-ball called Miles. Penny can't stand him so I was sure she would be back pronto but she's been gone three weeks and now I'm not sure where we stand.
If she's coming back, it must be good news, though. Doesn't it?
Jean breaks my reverie as she pushed open the door and delivers the tea. "Sir Penshaw will be here in half an hour."
Sir Penshaw Grimsdale, Bt is the heir to a considerable lump of Wiltshire and an equally considerable lump of estate duty from the death of his father. The only reason Jeremy is his lawyer, given Jeremy isn't yet 30, is because he was the protégé of Crispin Martindale, a venerable old solicitor who'd acted for the Grimsdale family for eons. Mr Martindale was a consultant to Clifford Risely; when he died, he bequeathed his practice, not to one of the two partners of Clifford Risely, but to Jeremy. That won Jeremy a surprise partnership and access to Jean, who is probably the single reason why Sir Penshaw is still Jeremy's client.
Naturally neither Jeremy nor Jean have told me any of this. The source of all gossip is Gloria. Gloria is what my mother would call a 'modern' woman, meaning she dresses in a way of which my mother would not approve. There's a lot of cleavage, for a start. She's tall, taller than me in her heels and teases me about Penny. I pretend to enjoy the banter but in truth I'm petrified. With Jean and Edith – Edith Yardley is Philip Risely's secretary; he's the senior partner, the other partner being Lucinda Plum-Wardle – Gloria forms a triumvirate of women who, together keep the business going. They also hate each other in a brittle, genteel way.
I'm clearing my desk in anticipation of Sir Penshaw's arrival when Gloria sticks her head round the door. "The old bat hiding somewhere?"
"Jean's typing up the Will."
"Ok. Message for you from your dishy flatmate. He's been promoted or something; he's having drinks here." She hands me an attendance slip. "You think he'd invite me?" She smirks.
"Didn't you ask him?" I can't hide my irritation. Something happened between those two one evening when Gloria brought me home rather the worse for wear. This was a previous occasion when Penny left me and I'd high hopes of some consoling, only I passed out. The next day, she'd gone by the time I woke. After Dobbin left I needed to find a spare key, having lost mine in my drunken state and went into his room. On his mirror, inside his wardrobe, in Gloria's pink lipstick was a message
No! Thank You. Big Boy!
Dobbin never mentioned it but it was gone when I got home later.
She smiles. "I'll surprise him." She blows me a kiss, leaving me squirming but in a different way to how Jean makes me squirm. "I think Penshaw is here."
Gloria doesn't believe in titles; she's a staunch republican.

Board of Fisheries declines request to cap Kodiak sockeye harvest
The Board of Fisheries won't take up an out-of-cycle request to cap Kodiak sockeye salmon harvests during certain periods of the season, though it won't be the last time the issue comes up. The board declined to accept an agenda change request that proposed a new management plan for the commercial purse seine fishery in the Kodiak Management Area setting weekly and seasonal limits on sockeye salmon harvest. The request, submitted by the United Cook Inlet Drift Association, raises concerns brought to light in a recent Alaska Department of Fish and Game genetic study showing that Kodiak seiners catch hundreds of thousands of Cook Inlet-bound sockeye salmon during the summer. click here to read the story 08:57

The entertainment industry is unarguably one of the highest paying industries in Nigeria today. Players in the industry simply get paid astronomical amounts to do what they love to do, almost effortlessly. Comedy is one key aspect of entertainment, and comedians are one of the highest-paid entertainers in the Showbiz industry. They basically come to make people laugh, while they earn what many people in other industries would take several months of hard work to realize.
Comedy business in Nigeria is a very serious business. However, there are some comedians who have made their name in the industry, and currently rank amongst the highest earners. In this age, shows, parties, fun meetings and gatherings all require the services of a suitable individual who knows how to pull the crowd and keep them cheering all through the event. This is where the services of comedians are needed. These days, many top comedians have managers who help them manage their performance itinerary, especially when their services at shows and events are so much in demand.
Thus, comedy business is a big deal, for those who are competent and resilient enough.
There are a few comedians who have distinguished themselves as the best of the lot in the field. Organizers of shows and events constantly book for their services because they have become the people's favourite, due to their skill, sense of humour, carriage and charisma. Some of them in Nigeria include the likes of Alibaba, AY, Akpororo, and Yaw, amongst others. In addition, they have not only stood out for their competence, but they also rank amongst the richest comedians in the field.
That is what this post is about. It seems to explore the top ten richest comedians in Nigeria. In ascending order, we have:
#10. Steve Onu, a.k.a 'Yaw' (N280 million)
Steve Onu is a veteran comedian and one of the oldest and most respected faces in the business today. He started out in the entertainment industry by featuring in a soap opera titled 'flatmates', alongside Basket Mouth and a few others in the early 2000s. His signature act was a stuttered-phrase which, in whole, would be 'Uwa popo mehn, Yaw!'. His popularity grew exponentially after the flatmates, and he eventually left to join the comedy business as a stand-up comedian. He featured there for a while, made his name, and cemented his status as one of the country's finest, before he moved on to work as an on-air presenter (OAP) for top radio station, Wazobia FM.
Beyond his involvements in the industry as a comedian and OAP, Yaw also serves as a brand ambassador for Telecom giants MTN. He earns most of his money from MTN adverts, his presentations on radio as an OAP, anchoring of events (which he does very regularly), as well as a few other businesses that he developed and currently runs. He is known to be into real estate, and he has a number of high end properties to his name.
Yaw is currently worth a good N280 million naira.
#9. Gordons (N400 million)
Gordons is one of Nigeria's finest comedians. He has been on the scene for a long time. He started out as a stand-up comedian, performing in shows and local events. At one time, Gordons was the fans' favourite. Popular events that had Gordons as part of the invited guests to perform, sold out faster than regular shows did.
His consistency in the business earned him a spot on the 'Night of a thousand laughs' show, organized by Opa Williams; and it was through this show that he got shot into limelight.
Gordons is a comedian, businessman and entrepreneur. He is currently worth N400 million.
#8. Gbenga Adeyinka (N500 million naira)
Gbenga Adeyinka 'the first' is one of the most accomplished comedians in the world of comedy. He specializes in performing at highly-exclusive events and government functions. As a matter of fact, there are only few comedians in the industry that have performed at more government events and exclusive shows than himself.
Asides just being a laughter monger, he is also a business man. He is the producer of popular comedy show 'LaffMattaz'. Every year, he earns a lot of money from the shows.
He is also a real estate guru, and is said to own several properties across the city of Lagos and its environs. His current net worth is put at N500 million naira.
#7. Abovi Ugoma, a.k.a 'Bovi' (N600 million naira)
Bovi is one of the hottest comedians at the moment. He known for being sarcastic at times, and for having the uncanny ability to always pull the crowd at whatever event he is invited to perform. He started out like Yaw, performing in soap operas and skits, before his big break came. He has been into standup comedy for a long time. Asides his public performances, Bovi also does comedy skits on social media, and he also anchors shows, events and concerts.
He is currently worth a sum of N600 million naira, and he has a collection of exquisite cars and properties.
#6. Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, a.k.a 'Okey Bakassi' (N800 million naira)
Okey Bakassi is a perfect example of old comedy blended with the contemporary. He started comedy business a long time ago, performing alongside the likes of Julius Agwu, Yaw and a few others, many of which have since gone out of business, and their names, out into extinction.
He was one of the most successful comedians of his time, and when others were fading away, he took effort to rebrand himself to remain relevant in the changing landscape. He went into movie acting, Emceeing, and also Television presenting; and soon, he became a household name once again. Currently, he anchors shows and events for top government functionaries, and he also performs regularly at live comedy events.
Currently, he also serves as a Special Assistant for Entertainment to the Governor of Imo state, Governor Rochas Okorocha. His net worth is N800 million naira.
#5. Julius Agwu (N1.5 Billion naira)
Julius 'The Genius' Agwu is one of the finest comedians that Nigeria has ever produced. He is also one of the oldest in the business today. He started out performing at comedy shows during the time of Alibaba, Okey Bakassi and many others. He was one of the first comedians to start organizing comedy shows all around the country. He is popular for two major comedy shows: 'Crack Ya Ribs", and "Laugh For Christ's Sake".
Asides his comedy exploits, he is also into movie acting. He has featured in a number of movies till date. He is also an accomplished author and event host, and he regularly anchors events for politicians and societal heavyweights. According to reports, it costs millions to hire his services to perform at a show.
Julius Agwu is responsible for mentoring many contemporary comedians that have succeeded today. He mentored Basketmouth, Bovi and a few others.
He owns an entertainment company named Real Laff Entertainment, and his net worth is put at N1.5 billion naira. He also owns cars and land assets in several locations.
#4. Francis Agoda, a.k.a 'I go dye' (N1.8 Billion naira)
'I go dye' is one of the most dynamic comedians in Nigeria. He is also one of the wealthiest of them all, as he sits at our number three spot on the list of richest comedians in Nigeria.
'I go dye' had been performing at local street shows and events for a long time, before he eventually diversified into acting movies and comedy skits. His big break in comedy came when he began to perform for one of the most popular comedy shows of all time in Nigeria, Night of a Thousand Laughs. His lanky structure and sarcastic expressions always gave bite to his hilarious jokes, and soon, he became a household name. As part of his comedy business, he also hosts shows for all who can afford his bills. He has successfully hosted many shows, government events, and concerts in his career.
Asides his comedy inclinations, he also owns a construction company named Revamp Construction CO.
He also serves as an ambassador for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UNMDG), from which he earns a substantial income. Asides that also, he has also been an ambassador of various local and international brands, and his endorsement deals with such companies usually runs into several millions of naira.
He is currently worth a massive N1.8 billion naira.
#3. Bright Okpocha, a.k.a Basketmouth (N2 billion naira)
Basketmouth is one of the funniest and most versatile comedians in Nigeria. He has been in the comedy business for a long time. He started out featuring in a regular soap opera called 'Flatmates', alongside Okey Bakassi and Yaw. He also featured in a number of comedy skits, before delving fully into Stand-up comedy, under the guidance and mentorship of Julius Agwu.
Basketmouth is a household name. He regularly performs at comedy shows and concerts, and he is said to make as much as N3 million naira from each performance. Shows that want their tickets sold out fast usually invite Basketmouth and many other top comedians to perform. Merely listening to him crack jokes often makes one forget their worries and look on the bright side of life.
Asides performing at shows, Basketmouth also runs his own shows in Nigeria and other parts of the world. he recently completed a comedy tour called 'Lord of the Ribs', where he performed in selected cities in England, U.S.A, South Africa and Canada.
Basketmouth is one of Nigeria's finest. He is worth a whopping N2 billion naira.
#2. Ayodeji Richard Makun a.k.a 'AY' (N2.5 billion naira)
AY is arguably the most popular comedian in Nigeria at the moment. He is literally a genius. He is not necessarily the funniest of the lot – in fact many people argue that he is actually not a funny person – but he knows just how to bring the funny people together to entertain an audience. His shows, AY Live, are reminiscent of Julius Agwu's 'Crack Ya Ribs' comedy shows that aired all over the country in the early and mid-2000s. AY's shows are said to be one of his major channels of income. An average show rakes in several hundreds of millions of naira for him, and he holds two to three of such shows in different locations every year.
Asides organizing shows, perhaps AY's major passion these days is movie acting and production. He is the brains behind the following blockbuster movies; The Wedding Party 1, The Wedding Party 2, and 30 Days in Atlanta. He has also recently released a new movie titled 'Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons' that is currently taking the movie industry by storm.

This section seeks to outline what it means to have healthy relationships and how people can achieve them.
The concept of "relationships and family" is very broad, complex, and unique to each person's life situation. Definitions of relationship often mention "a state of connectedness" between people, especially an emotional connection.
Healthy relationships are a vital component of health. The health risks from being alone or isolated in one's life are comparable in magnitude to the risks associated with cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and obesity. As the healthcare system looks to reduce costs, family and support networks are an essential component of a person's overall recovery process.
Strong social ties lead to feelings of purpose, stability, security, and recognition of self-worth, which ultimately results in greater self-care. Social networks also provide a sense of belonging, security, and a community where people can share their concerns and needs and support others.

Easter is just around the corner and merchants have stocked their shelves with plenty of chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs to keep chocoholics everywhere satisfied during this seasonal event.
What you may not know are the potential health benefits chocolate can deliver. But before you drop a couple of extra chocolate bunnies into your shopping cart, you need to know the type of chocolate you eat makes all the difference.
Of the chocolate available, the kind that provides the biggest therapeutic benefit is dark chocolate. The helpful compounds in chocolate are polyphenols and flavanols – antioxidants that protect the body from damage. In fact, cocoa beans contain higher concentrations of antioxidants than many fruits. Choose dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids to get the most health benefits. With more cocoa solids than milk chocolate, dark chocolate is also often lower in calories, fat and sugar than its sweeter cousin.
For people with hypertension, eating dark chocolate can reduce blood pressure. A number of studies support this theory.
Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed eating dark chocolate (approximate 30 calories daily) was linked to blood pressure reductions – and without causing weight gain!1
The polyphenols seem to have the magic effect on blood pressure. In a study contrasting dark chocolate versus white chocolate (which had no polyphenols) hypertension patients who consumed dark chocolate daily for 18 weeks saw a -2.9 (1.6) mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure and a -1.9 (1.0) mm Hg decrease in diastolic. The patients who ate white chocolate saw no change in their blood pressure levels.1
While the blood pressure reductions seem modest, even small declines dramatically cut hypertension health risks. According to researchers, a blood pressure reduction of 3-mm Hg could slash the risk of fatal strokes by 8%. Another interesting fact is chocolate does not impact blood pressure in normal range.
In research released in February of this year, scientists found that chocolate can raise the body's levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and lower LDL (bad cholesterol). Scientists remarked that the polyphenols spur the production of specific proteins. These proteins are abundantly found in HDL cholesterol. At the same time, the polyphenols appear to multiply the development of LDL receptors, which then lower the amount of LDL cholesterol.2
A 2011 review of stroke studies showed that consumption of chocolate may cut the mortality risk of stroke. One study mentioned in the review showed 45,000 people who consumed a serving of chocolate weekly were 22% less likely to die from a stroke than people who did not consume it. 3 A review of a second study revealed 1200 people who ate 50 grams of chocolate a week were 46% less likely to die from a stroke compared to non-chocolate eaters.3
Also, in research conducted by Johns Hopkins University, medical researchers found an ingredient in dark chocolate may protect the brain from stroke damage. The amazing substance is called epicatechin. In mice experiments, scientists discovered the rodents who ingested epicatechin before an induced stroke had considerably less brain damage.4 More human research is needed to determine how much of this substance people would need to consume to obtain the protective advantages.
Last year, researchers at University California San Francisco found high levels of cocoa flavanols enhance the circulation of angiogenic cells, which are important for repairing vascular damage and maintaining blood vessel health.5 It was also noted that the blood sugar levels remained stable among the study participants, which may make it beneficial for diabetics.
A 2010 Swedish study showed middle aged and elderly women who consumed one to two servings of milk chocolate weekly were 32% less likely to suffer heart failure.6 However, you should be aware milk chocolate sold in Sweden has nearly double the amount of cocoa solids than North American products.
The answer is "Yes," according to a study published in the Journal of Proteome Research. Participants who rated as emotionally stressed ate an ounce and a half of dark chocolate daily for two weeks. Researchers noted the chocolate influenced the metabolism and subsequently lowered the amount of stress hormones in the participants.7
Chocolate can be high in sugar, fat and calories, so eating in moderation is vital. If you have health conditions such as diabetes, consult your chiropractor to make sure it is safe for you to consume chocolate.
I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.
It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?"

Sea lion picks car roof for a nap spot
Can any of us say we haven't thought about this?
One driver in Washington just received a seal — er, sea lion of approval, napping on top of her car.
Melanie J. Sceva Hill of Freeland, Wash., a town of about 2,000 on Whidbey Island, filmed the scene on Saturday in the Nichols Brothers shipyard, where a sea lion climbed on top of a Honda Civic and took a nap. Two cars from the Sheriff's office were eventually dispatched to the incident and helped rouse the sleeping sea lion — carefully, so as not to get a nip from the animal's sharp teeth.
Considering the sea lion weigh a couple hundred pounds, hopefully the owner of the vehicle got their Civic checked out by a mechanic. And hopefully the sea lion wasn't too perturbed by the interruption to its nap.
