Going The Extra Mile

- Quote of the Week

“Just think,

You're here not by chance,

But by God's choosing

His hand formed you

and made you

the person you are!

He compares you to no one else-

you are one of a kind

You lack nothing

that His grace can't give you!

He has allowed you to be here

at this time in history

to fulfill His special purpose

for this generation!

Delightful: Comment ~ If you don't feel as if you can pray or not comfortable praying out loud, keep in mind when you do pray you begin to open up doors you can't imagine!

We are a family and we don't judge you on how you pray....God ask us to pray...So Pray in your own way!

Blk Pearl: Comment ~ An apology was given to those who has lost a loveone & had not recieved a condolence card from the G.E.M. ~ GROUP

It was also suggested to me that it would be nice to hear from our members during roll call, to acknowledge their presence.

Therefore when you hear you name called, please say "Hello" to the room!

Deekin: Comment ~ Here is some intel tibbits...Iraq is having a finanical summit meeting in Bagadah, before giving a greenligt.

Banks are also reporting they are almost out of dinars to sell & wont be getting anymore!

China is backing the dong and controling the rate....

Grateful: Comment ~ To Deekin- What currency has the best return?

Deekin: Answered ~ Zim & Dong due to it's price to purchase, gives a better return

Deekin revealed he only has a 25k Dinar and more invested in the Dong & Zimbawe Currency.

The Hedge fund investors advised 15-30 days rates will go up...

Blk Pearl: Comment ~ With all the different currencies in Zimbabwe, being used instead of their own currency, how sure are we that the Zimbawe currency will revalue, especially when I hear that they will be printing new currencies?

Deekin & Grateful ~ Answered- The 2008 & 2009 AA serial will be taken off the streets before they issue the new printed currencies.

Deekin: FYI - Look into Germany, they are the 3rd strongest nation in the world! We should be looking into investing in their currency!

The G.E.M. GROUP AFRICA COUNTRIES PROJECT

1ST Presentation ~ Delightful

Country: Nigeria

The currency of the country is called " Naira"

Captial: Abuja

The country is know to be very corrupt, high level of burearancy & poor infracture. The children are held back by the lack of their skills.

A business article stated the government policy and incentive is to neutralaize the growth of SMES (small, medium, eenterprise space) in the country.

The investment opportunities are:

Telecommunication

Retail

According to a magazine article it said Nigeria is the top 10 country of the future due to their oil

In 2014, Nigeria's economy (GDP) became the largest in Africa, worth more than $500 billion, and overtook South Africa to become the world's 21st largest economy.

Nigeria is considered to be an emerging market by the World Bank and in 2014 has been identified as a regional power in Africa

Diva Girl's opinion: Nigeria would be a good investment, the country's oil reserves have played a major role & there is still minerals which has yet to be explored

2nd Presentation ~ DNC

Country: Mauritius

The currency is called Mauritian rupee (32 rupee to 1 US dollar)

The country is an island nation & in the Indian Ocean 1200 miles SE from African Coast Continent

From 2006 - 2014 is has been rated #1 for good governance (follows thru on their policies) & the only African country with "full democracy"

Investor are gradually entering into the Western market through Madagascar, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. They have close ties with European Union & strong relations with China & India.

For the past 8 yrs, there been a 4% growth per year.

Mauritius is the LEAST corrupt country!

The homes are very much like the US.. One of the benefits of purchasing a home you could become a citizen, with dual citizenship, this will lower your tax rate; possiblity of home appreciate in value.

If you are interested in investing:

Mauritius.com

Mauritius International Trust (Mitco.mu)

Duetch Bank

State Bank of Mauritius

Barclay Bank

DNC opinion ~ Mauritius is a very good investment opportunity due to it technology; toruism; dual citizen

However seek the type of laws of the land & give advise from an international attorney.

Final Comments from Tessie

Tessie been studing both Mauritius & Saychelles for awhile- they are both up & coming!

Mauritius is a great place to do business & invest!

If you are interested in dual citizenship put it into a plan!

Anchor yourself, get involved with other orginazations & learn & grown with them!

Alway think Longterm!!
