Ken Karpmans Story


He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree and M.B.A., then got a high-paying job as an institutional equity sales trader. He married his dream girl, had two children and traveled the world on expensive vacations.

Over the span of Karpman's impressive 20-year career as a trader, he climbed the company ladder, reaching a salary of $750,000 a year.
"Life was good, we were making a lot of money -- and why wouldn't this just continue on?" Karpman said.

From all appearances, Ken and Stephanie Karpman were living the American dream in Tampa, Fla., nestled in their 4,000-square-foot home that sits on a golf course. "I had no idea what anything cost in a store," he said. "I'd just put it in the cart and buy."

THE NIGERIAN YOUTH, THE FUTURE (TECHNOLOGY AND ENTERTAINMENT)

One of the biggest achievements of President’s Buhari’s government is to the stop the bleeding of the nation’s resources. The previous regime made a few people midnight millionaires and billionaires. For any country to progress there is a need for everyone to see rewards in hardwork and not thiefwork .  The present administration has embarked on a lot of agricultural projects which the sole aim of boosting our local production of food products and also create employment opportunities. This is a noble idea but let us call a spade a spade, the Nigerian youth is what I call the elitist youth – they are mostly not interested in agricultural work. Rather than focus on trying to get them engaged in farms, we have to find other ways of getting them gainfully employed and effective for the nation’s growth. The future simply for the Nigerian youth is technology and entertainment. The government should not worry about those that would do the farm work, just like what is happening in the

Nigeria a@50 - Day 27 : I LOVE HOME

"Nigeria at 50, Day 26 - Tobenna www.eyemuse.blogspot.com ================================================== I shout at the top of my voice "Hello , can you hear me !!!" I can hear her voice, but she can't hear me. I have to dial again and again before the great MTN or is it the mighty GLO allows us to converse. This remains my daily communication with home. Her heart beats when she hears my hi(s). My heart skips when I hear her bye(s). Her mind ponders. My mind wonders. Her voice resonates ripples across the ocean waters. My voice baritones across the wavy atlantic waters. I can sense her pains. She can sense my groans. I can feel the tears dropping down her cheeks. She can sense the fears from the pulse of my beats. Her voice echoes from a distance. My voice thunders from the mountains. My mind gropes in the dark when the phone clicks. Her mind is revived when the line rings. Our eyes do not clash, but our hearts remain meshed. Our flesh is weakened, but our heart
