Nigerian On-Air Personality Yinka Olonode commits Suicide in America


Yinka Olonode got his big break on Cool FM in 2002 while hosting a show called “Get a Grip“. The on-air personality also featured as a model in a commercial for telecoms giant MTN during that time.
On the 29th of April 2013, Yinka’s journey came to a tragic end when he reportedly committed suicide.
“the Multnomah County Medical’s Examiner’s Office has identified the man who died after jumping from the rooftop restaurant of a downtown Portland hotel Monday.
Yinka Olonode, 34, of Portland, fell about 6:30 p.m. from the 15th floor of The Nines hotel at 525 S.W. Morrison St., where Departure Restaurant and Lounge is located.
The death temporarily shut down MAX service in the area. A motive has not been identified and no one else was injured.“
Based on news reports, Yinka’s journey in the US had been rocky up to this point. In 2010, he was arrested after “being accused by his girlfriend of damaging her computer during a fight.” According to the report, the accused was an illegal immigrant at that time and was “arrested on a felony vandalism allegation and then determined that he was in the U.S. illegally. ICE was contacted and placed Olonode into custody.“
So tragic. Sometimes greener pastures aren’t always so green. RIP.

I live my life based on gratitude

I live my life based on gratitude yes! I see every situation as an opportunity to be grateful. growing up wasn't easy not because we were very poor but because my dad is a disciplinarian that won't want his kids to have everything in abundance which sincerely, i used to hate him for but when i got older i realised that he did it for the best. i have no regrets about those hard days infact im grateful that i had those days because thats is the only reason why today i can survive through every situation. If i wake up in the morning healthy, and I all my family and friends are alive I'm always filled with gratitude. i try to keep it simple, maybe its easy for me based on how i was engineered or brought up! but i really dont want too many things. if I have good food, light in my house, decent clothes and my work..I'm satisfied, I don't want the best car, the best clothes, the best house..im grateful for what i have presently. I'm so grateful for being alive to...

Step to getting that new idea for your next business

A lot of people ask me, how can they start a successful business with little or no money..and my answer is always the same "I don't know" I think the intent matters a lot. Why are you starting a business? to get rich quick? to provide value then make money in the long run? to solve a problem? Once you can answer that question, the right business idea will come to your mind. That's the first aspect of starting a business, once that is out of the equation, the next step is to test the hypothesis of your Idea. The best way to test your business idea is to put yourself in your customer's place, and everything will become more apparent. I'm quite knowledgable about the gaming industry because I have participated in every area of the industry. Now I'm an operator, as you can see, the only luck I have is being alive. To be sincere, I hate the world ''Luck'' it cheapens a lot of hard work. It has been a gradual process, no shortcut. I...
