Created by designer Hector Del Amo, the ZERO Helicopter is a new take on the idea of personal transportation. While I am unsure of how well this design could be translated into the real world, I am enjoying the concept and design. Personal Helicopter would alleviate traffic congestion, especially in bigger cities, but one will be worried about flying in it since it seems like you're just strapped in there with doors to protect you. Notwithstanding, I do like the simplicity and compact look of the personal aircraft. Who knows, maybe one day we will all be flying to work in our own personal  Helicopters. Who knows how soon the personal Helicopters will be available? Credit: gadgets.feedbox.info .

A stitch in time they say saves nine. I am sorry; I will be sounding a bit harsh in this post but please make use of the message in it as it has the potential to transform your life. Some ladies can be so annoying, especially the so-called beautiful ladies. I have come to discover that when some ladies realize they are very beautiful, they become rude and stubborn to everyone. They won't respect people but will be arrogant and abuse anyone. They will now be filled with pride just because they have realized they are beautiful. What an ARRANT NONSENSE! Please ladie; note that beauty without good character is useless. Your beauty is as useless as a piece of rag if you don't have good character and you don't owe people respect. Don't think you can achieve anything in life with just beauty; no, you need good character too. Your beauty can't make you get favour and / or help from people if you are rude and lack respect for others. Even those who win the beaut

Conscience is the internal watch-dog of every reasonable person and the absence of it makes one a devil among angels. The Nigerian political system is corrupt because its politicians are of dead conscience. They have sold their conscience to the wind; hence the entire governmental system appears to be ill-affected. Nothing seems to be working right because the head is seriously suffering from the deadly virus of corruption. In fact, none of Nigeria politicians has the fear of our national laws at heart; neither do they have the fear of the Supreme God. When you pay attention to what these cabals say when they go out for political campaign, you will understand what I am saying. They don't have shame because their conscience is dead and that is why they tell all manners of lies, just to make their way to the Aso rock.  Why will you ask us to re-vote you into power before you may give us our entitlements as citizens? Even when you have denied us same for the past six year

I was invited for a wedding event in Lagos. On getting to the venue, everyone was attentively listening to a woman who was also an invitee. Immediately I took my seat; before I could say anything, the woman said "my husband left home for thirty two years and refused to call or come back home; but on one faithful day I logged into a blog at successminds.net and saw a PRAYER posted on the blog. I commented on the prayer after reading it and to my greatest surprise my husband called me for the first time in thirty two years and now he is finally back home. We are now celebrating reunion; even when everyone in our family had lost hope of seeing him again." Now, I pray for those who still have faith in God of last minutes, especially you that is reading this post; that whatever Miracle you have been expecting from God for years; which has made you to give up on God, the LORD God will surprise you with testimony that will make you celebrate. He has not forgoten your case

Do you know that some people don't really know when they truly love someone? Do you know that sometimes infatuation is mistaken for love? Lust is also misunderstood as love. There are times when some of us are in lust and we think we are in love. In order to clear these misconceptions; I have come up with some tips that will help you determine when you are trully in love. Here are the tips: 1. When you are truly in love with someone, you won't see the person's physical disabilities or facial appearance. Even if other people are seeing the person as an ugly person, the person will look beautiful/handsome in your eyes. This is why you see some people getting married to the blind, the deaf, the crippled and even the dumb. I have seen a blind man married to a very beautiful lady. I have also seen a deaf and dumb married to a very handsome man. That is what we call true love. True love does not look at the physical appearance. Therefore, if you love your guy / girl

Health they say is wealth. Giving your hair a good treatment does not only keep your hair healthy but also makes it look good, fresh and attractive. As a man, maintaining a healthy hair style may seem challenging at times, especially when you do not have a reliable source of income. This is because of the financial implications involved. The cost of buying some of the hair creams in the market is very expensive and may be frustrating. But with this proven method, you can keep your hair healthy, neat and attractive with just a little cash. Things you need: 1. Water 2. Soap 3. Brush 4. Hair Cream Take bath on daily basis and wash your hair with water and soap using a brush. After that, allow your hair to dry and then you apply a hair cream. Make sure you wash your hair thoroughly using a brush. The hair cream to apply could be as cheap as the apple hair cream but I recommend using 'Soul Mate with Sulphur.' It has been working for a lot of guys, hence we have

The website www.mautech.edu.ng has been down for some days as a result of the illegal act of hackers. The information was made public on Monday 29th December, 2014 after Vahyala Elisha; a student of the institution published it on the facebook group of the institution's Students Union Government. Upto the time of compiling this report, none of the institution's officials has made a comment over the situation. When the Success Minds Crew visited the school's website, the site was blank, except a caveate indicating that the website is undergoing maintenance. Comments coming from the students indicate that the school has been negligent over cyber security measures as the school website is a product of joomla - a free content management system; an open source software. This ugly situation is hap

Her capacity to mix technical expertise and a relentless vision inspired, motivated and moved women to embrace technology instead of avoiding or ignoring it. She touched and changed the lives of countless women in the computing fields and beyond. Dr. Anita Borg (1949–2003) believed that technology affects all aspects of our economic, political, social and personal lives. A technology rebel with a cause, in her life she fought tirelessly to ensure that technology's impact would be a positive one. It was this vision that inspired Anita in 1997 to found the Institute for Women and Technology. Today this organization continues on her legacy and bears her name, The Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology ( www.anitaborg.org ). The Scholarship: Dr. Anita Borg d

Buying digital cameras on Amazon can fetch you a fat profit, especially if you are buying the fairly used type. It has the capability to put smile on your face. The first digital camera I bought on Amazon was a fairly used Sony Cyber shot, 16.1 mega pixel. It was used for only two weeks and the owner decided to let it go. I bought the camera – Sony cyber shot DSC 650, 16.1 Mega Pixel at $54 Fifty Four US Dollars – equivalent to eight thousand, six hundred and forty naira, with free shipping as a fulfillment by Amazon. I mean free shipment from Amazon to my US address at Sarasota, Florida. From there I paid One Thousand Naira for it to be shipped to Nigeria; though that was not the only thing I bought. After dividing the shipping cost into the number of items I bought, the shipment cost for the camera was One Thousand Naira only. I also paid a customs clearance fee of Three Hundr

What it takes to buy things online in Nigeria is quite different from what it takes to buy from USA, UK and other foreign countries of the world. In this article, I will tell you the requirements you have to meet before you can buy from the overseas. Some of the things may be required in other countries while in some other countries they may not be necessary. So it depends on the country where you are buying from. Bellow are the necessary things: 1. Buyer account: This is the account you create on the seller's website. This account is similar to what we have on facebook and other online avenues that require our profile information. 2. Computer or a GPRS enabled mobile phone: In order to buy things online, computer like laptop or desktop PCs are not necessary. With your GPRS enabled mobile device you can make your purc

Photo Credit: Google Images Buying online is a nice experince especially in this era where the world has turned into a global village. Now you can sit down at the comfort of your home or office and buy whatever you want from any part of the world. Gone are the days when one had to go through the stress of traveling far in order to buy what he needs. Thank God for the era of information and Communication Technology (ICT). I know as a beginner, one of the challenges you may have is the knowledge of the right place to buy your things online. This was one of the questions I used to ask then as a beginer. I am glad that today, it is no longer a bugling question because experience has thought me. In this post, I will be listing for you some online shopping malls where I have bought for myself and for my clients. These comprise online shops here in Nigeria and overseas. They are online shops I have tested and found to be trust-worthy. I mean they have not sold their honesty to others, and

Photo Credit: Google Images In my one of my previous posts I wrote on how to file a civil suit in Nigerian lower courts. Today, I am writing on how to file a criminal suite in Nigerian lower courts. Please subscribe to my next post on the difference between criminal and civil suits so you don't miss it. Just like the civil suit in the lower court, an individual can also initiate a criminal suit in a lower court, even without the help of a lawyer. I mean, the service of a lawyer is not necessary but if you can afford it, it is better for you. There are little differences between initiating a civil suit and a criminal suit in lower court. Just read attentively as I will explain them in this article. In criminal suit at times you may go through the police when initiating it in the lower courts. This may happen when you report the person you are suing to the police or when the police has arrestd the accused person before informing you. In either of the two scenarios, the police wil
