THE OLDEST PERSON TO BEGIN PRIMARY SCHOOL

-



It is truism that Education is the bed-rock of any society. For his passion to be educated, Mr. Maruge, a Kenyan started his primary Education at the old age.
The world's oldest person to begin primary school was aged 84. Kimani Ng'ang'a Maruge (Kenya) enrolled into Standard One at Kapkenduiyo Primary School, Eldoret, Kenya, on 12 January 2004.
He even wore the school uniform and hoped to reach Standard Eight. On 6 April 2004 it was reported that Ng'ang'a passed his first end-of-term exams with straight A's in English, Kiswahili and math, making him among the top five students in the class. The headmistress, Mrs Jane Obinchu (Kenya) made him a senior headboy as a reward.
Ng'ang'a was a Mau Mau Veteran (who fought for independence against British colonialists) had 30 grandchildren - two of which were above him at the same primary school at the time he enrolled. He wanted to take advantage of free education for two reasons: to learn to count money; and for literacy so he could read the Bible.
Sadly, Mr Maruge passed away on 15 August 2009, aged 90.

1. Picking A Wrong Niche (Topic) This is by far the biggest mistake I see people making. The truth is ...not all niches will make you money. Not all topics have demand. To succeed as a blogger you need to blog about a topic people search for. You need to be where there is demand. It also has to be a niche where people spend money. Something called a profitable niche. So what are profitable niches for blogging? 2 . Waiting For Traffic Traffic is the life blood of any blog. Without it, you make no money. ...but here is the mistake I see many people make. They wait for traffic. They think that traffic will magically land on their blog from heaven. No my friend.
