Here’s Why You May Never Be Rich (and How To Change That)

What’s the worst thing that could happen if you went totally broke today? This is not a rhetorical question. Take a few seconds to answer it before you read further.

What’s the very worst thing that could happen if you went dead broke today? Think about it for ten seconds.

For most people our age, the answer is something like: “A lot would happen, but it would not totally destroy me.” Why? Because when you’re in your early to mid-twenties, let’s face it— being broke happens, a lot.

And we survive it, because we are still young, with few responsibilities beyond ourselves. The most that would happen is that you move back in with your parents, spend a week thinking about your life, get over it and move on.

Opinion: The trouble with Nigeria? A failure of leadership

  

Editor's note: Chude Jideonwo is managing partner of Red Media Africa, which hold's the continent's largest portfolio of youth media brands. His new book, "Are We The Turning Point Generation?" was published in May.

(CNN) -- A radio host pointed it out to me on my book tour, with alarm: a chapter in my new book -- written three years ago about my president, Goodluck Jonathan, and his handling of Boko Haram, terror and insecurity in Nigeria -- could have been written today, almost word for word.

"The truth is that I don't feel safe," I wrote in "Searching for a Vote of Confidence." "I, like many others living in Nigeria, will myself to feel safe, knowing I must take the risk and get onto the roads each day; we have no choice. But when it comes to the meat of it, you cannot possibly, really feel safe. Children have been kidnapped; average Nigerians' parents, "big men" (the elite), "oyinbos" (foreigners), and celebrities -- from the forbidding Pete Edochie to the clownish Mr. Ibu -- have been kidnapped; government officials have been kidnapped, and now youth corps members have been kidnapped."

Geisha hunting in Kyoto: 7 things to know before going to Gion

(CNN) -- It's 5:55 p.m. on a warm summer evening on Hanami-Koji Street in Kyoto's historic Gion district.

A dozen or so camera-clutching tourists line both sides of the cobblestone road, waiting for that magical moment.

Then it happens.

A single apprentice geisha emerges from a nearby taxi.

The crowd descends, timidly at first, like a pack of wildlife photographers on safari not wanting to frighten their prey, all angling for a perfect picture.

Her bright red lips turn up into a small smile as tourists tap shutters and smart phones, but she doesn't stop, instead gracefully making her way into a nearby tea house.

The crowd is pleased. They've ticked off an item on their Kyoto "must see" list.

Such scenes are a nightly occurrence in Gion, with its traditional wooden machiya houses.

Though geisha can be found throughout Japan, the former Imperial capital Kyoto (794-1869) is considered the birthplace of geisha culture.

Contrary to unsavory myths, geisha -- or "geiko" as they're called in Kyoto dialect -- are actually professional entertainers hired to perform and interact with guests during dinners and other occasions.

But before you join the Gion masses in the hopes of snapping a geiko or maiko (apprentice geisha) on her way to work, there are a few things worth knowing.
