FAITH CLINIC: How Prophet Muhammad (Muslim founder) Escaped Assasination Through His Faith In God (Allah)

I recall a moving incident in the life of Muhammad, the great prophet of Islam. He  learnt from his friends that his life was in danger, and that fierce men had sent out to kill him under cover of the night. Muhammad was constrained to leave his home at that dark hour. With him was his friend and faithful follower, Abu Bakr.

In hot pursit of these two devoted servants of God, were the men who were out to kill Muhammad. They rode strong steeds, and in their hands they carried drawn swords and sharp spears.

Abu Bakr saw them from a distance and was terribly frightened. In abject terror, he said to Muhammad, "They are coming! They will be upon us soon. They will slay us with their sharp swords. Our bodies will lie on the desert sands to be devoured by wild animals!"

Muhammad was silent. In his heart he felt sure that God was with them and that they were safe!

Nearby was a cave. Muhammad and Abu Bakr hid themselves in the depths of the cave. The party of persecutors rode up after some time. They halted at the mouth of the cave. Their leader suspected that Muhammad may be hiding inside the cave.

Abu Bakr began to tremble like a leaf in the wind. “What shall we do now?” he whispered. “There are so many of them – and we are only two!”

Quietly answered Muhammad, “Not so, my friend! We are not two, but three! The third is Allah! And when He is near, we need not fear!”

The story goes on to tell us that a miracle happened – and they were saved. But what I would like to emphasize is the faith of Muhammad, which enables him to overcome fear: “The third is Allah – and when He is near, we need not fear!”

Paul Oghoghorie Defied Poverty And Started His Internet Business In Style

How Paul Oghoghorie Defied Poverty And Started His Internet Business In Style Becoming Nigeria’s Young Internet Millionaire In The Process.

Paul Ogoghorie Is An Undergraduate Student Of Olabisi Onabanjo University In Ogun State, Nigeria.
 
He Is The CEO of EmpowerNAIJA.com and Widely Celebrated As A Forum Expert. He Turned The Table Against Poverty And Poor Background To Carve A Niche For Himself In The Internet Business World. Now A Breadwinner For His Family, He Has Positioned Himself For Positive Mention When Talking About Legitimate Internet Business In Nigeria. In This Interview, You’ll Discover How He Has Been Coping With His Studies While Still Running A Successful Internet Business. Enjoy It.

You are welcome to the Internet Experts’ Interview series. On a lighter note how are you enjoying your Internet business?

Answer
So far, internet business has been very exciting and fun to do. I wake up everyday with smiles on my face having the feelings that am not jobless, but rather have the internet look up to where I will be learning lots of new stuffs on that day.

So You Are completely in control of your time?

Answer
Definitely. After all, its not the 8am-5 pm job. Its a job that I do at my own time. Even at 3am in the morning. I may even not decide to work for 3 days.

That’s Interesting. But how was life before you started your Internet business?

Answer
Hmm... life was very difficult. I did not know what tomorrow had in stock for me. And that was because I depended on other people(parent, society, and government) for my survival. But at a point, I realized that I was heading for abject poverty if I did not change my circumstance. That was the exact thing I did. I c hanged my circumstance, placed my future into my hands and here I am today, enjoying what the positive side of the world have in stock for me.

But Paul, of all businesses, why Internet Business? Some people believe that doing business on the Internet equates you to a fraudster?

Answer
I chose Internet Business first of all because I didn’t want to be a slave to anybody who calls himself an EMPLOYER! I wanted to be on my own. Secondly becasue I saw the Internet to be an avenue for learning from people all over the world. Moreso, it’s office doors does not close. It works 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Those who believe that all the people doing business on the internet are fruadsters are those who are still illiterate (even if such a person already has a PHD degree). A literate person comes across something and instead of him to accept what other person says, he does his own private investigation. Many Nigerians listen to what they are told about the Internet and easily believe. But when they come in contact with Internet business, some even blame themselves for not coming in contact with Internet long long ago.

So the argument is baseless? But some people complain of being duped by so called internet merchants?

ANSWER
Yes, I can't refute that. Different people come online with different visions and missions. While some want to make fraud-free money, some others will want to scam people into paying for services that won't be rendered thereby making them fast cash. I have been a victim of this several times in the past. But the fact remains that I am not deterred by such happenings whenever they occur; instead, I put the past behind me and move on. That is why I advise some of my clients that whenever they come across offers that look too good to be true, they should contact mentors/experienced persons and verify the authenticity of such offers/programmes. I will also like to point out one good reason why people are easily scammed. Its simply because they don't want to go through any hardwork, but want to get the results at the snap of their fingers. Such offers appear online and they fall for it. Nigerians should learn to sow, take time to let the seed grow well before harvesting and then falling into the traps of fraudsters will reduce drastically.

Thanks for this clarification. Now how did you raise your start up capital and how did you make the breakthrough of earning your first internet income?

Answer
I raised money to start my internet business through the little cash that my parents gave to me as pocket money. Instead of me to spend the money on food or clothes, I spent it on buying time at the cyber cafe so that I can browse. At that time, I cherished the internet more than food becuase any day I log onto the internet, I come across new things. Now talking about how I made my breakthrough, I read a lot of materials online and also involved myself in so many trial by error until the day that my trial by error system began to pay off and I started earning money. 

Hmm. Can you tell us how long that was?

Answer
That was 4 years(2003-2007)

That’s amazing. 4 years of waiting? Ok, now tell our 
readers how you have been combining your Internet business with academics as a student knowing fully well that you started your business as a student at age 22.

Answer
Well, its been a normal thing to me. I attended class 2/3 times a week. Immediately I get home from school, I revise what i’ve been taught that day, then I later attend to business. At different times, I go through my books. In percentage, I give 60% attention to business and 40% to academics. During exams, I do group reading and through this, ‘am able to catch up with whatever I might have missed during the course of the semester.

So what is success to you?

Answer
Success to me is achieving your dreams.

Your advice to Nigerian Youths.

Answer
Nigerian youths should learn to think with their brain. Let them stop depending on their parents and the government for their survival but rather put their brain into proper use. The world awaits every young person who is ready to build his future! 

Paul, you are a confirmed young, internet millionaire doing genuine business in Nigeria. How do you feel earning six figure income on the Internet?

Answer
I feel on top of the world.

Thanks For Finding Time To Attend This Interview

You are welcome sir.

Answer
Yeah, thanks for inviting me here to be a part of this.

Question
On a lighter note, how have you been enjoying your Internet business?

Answer
It’s been very, very rewarding

Question
That’s interesting to hear. But can you tell us how the beginning was?

Answer
In a sentence, very very rough. I failed more times than I care to remember.

Question
Could you please tell us more about that rough background because most Internet fortune seekers want to hit it immediately they get started.

Answer
I started online in 2003 after I stumbled on a copy of Success Digest Extra magazine. I tried all sorts of stuff-article writing, affiliate marketing via adwords, newsletter publishing , all sorts! For four long years, I failed at everything I tried, then I realized the problem .

Question
And what was the problem?

Answer
In fact two problems, first one was, I was running after the latest promise of success, if you did this and this. Just the same kind of promises you see around these days. Second I was selling nothing.

Question
So you learnt a lesson? Can you tell us what you learnt?

Answer
The lesson was, focus on one model and find or create something you can sell

Question
That’s a life-transforming statement, Focus, Create and Sell. I could perceive that was the defining moment for you? Tell us your focus, what you created and started selling?

Answer
Exactly, when I realized that, I simply threw away everything I was doing and decided to focus on creating information products and you know what I discovered, Benard?

Question
Tell Us More

Answer
All the people who were making money were... selling something! Now isn’t that a revelation? Think about it.
Yeah , that was the break. I didn’t raise money. Funny thing was , the first thing I did was to go learn how to design a website because I saw that all the info marketers were selling a product from a website. I got the money to pay for the training by using part of my pocket money. I was till a student at that time.

Question
So between then and now, how much do you make monthly. This question is necessary because we have promised our readers that our experts are confirmed, young millionaires?

Answer
Then I created my first information product in October 2007 and by the end of November, I had made over $2000. Then the worst, or at least then I thought so, happened.. Papal froze my account.

Question
That was a fix! But you found a way out. From losing all , how did you end up making six figures.

Answer
I lost everything and then I hated the company, hell, I hated Internet marketing.! The following year, 2008, I decided to attend Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase’s information marketing business workshop in April 2008 when I borrowed the N5000 fee from my younger sister.

Question
That’s the power of seeking knowledge, despite initial failure?
Answer

Yeah, I knew he could show me what I did wrong. After the seminar, my first information product still failed! I mean after the information marketing business workshop.

Question
Then you must be tenacious?

Answer
Man, you need to be tenacious to survive in this industry. It’s business, pure and simple! If you go into business and are not tenacious, then you’ll be out in dry land before you can even blink.

Question
Hmm. You have successfully navigated the rough times and now a CEO. What fulfillment do you have and what final advice do you have for Nigerian youths seeking Internet Income Opportunities?

Answer
My advice is, learn from the very best. They can be hard to find. They may be expensive but they’re worth every penny. Learn from them, and get them to teach you one –on-one.
Then learn on your own, pay good money to buy materials form the top gurus and most important, put to action what you learn.

Sir, we are grateful for this time you have spared to reveal to our readers hidden secrets about your life and Internet business. We wish you the best in years to come.

Ronald: Thank you very much. I still have a lot to talk about. I hope we can do more of this. Our people need to hear the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
