Many thanks dipo and congrats to emeka okoli, he has trully been fantastic.

great piece dipo but u should also know that the life of biggy really affected sean puffy combs in many ways.

1. as an artist, he made a grammy with faith evans for the song, missing u , in memory of biggy
2. when he signed biggy to uptown records where he was an A& R manager, he was soon fired when the song did not blow as expected.
3. after he was fired, he went to set up BAD BOY and signed up biggy who became a sensation.
4. he was responsible for biggys reformation and giving up sale of drugs.
5. BAD BOY is perhaps only next to PHAT FARM in merchandising biz owned by black entertainers.

Dear Dipo,

Even though you mentioned this issue, I did not know it was that bad until now. Your resourcefulness and enterprise during the same period (Vietnam Biz Expo etc) is even more commendable and inspiring. Keep it up. It is well!
Have a refreshing Easter.
PS: Count me in on the monthly entreprenuers round table. Lets do it.

@ Bro. Emmy,
A very big congratulations to you! Hws the Lord with you?

@Sis Biddy,
that was very evangelical, i mean ur comment. Really ministers. Many thanks!

@Dipo,
Like i said, you posts are very practical and down to earth.
How u learn from virtually everything and tries to connect them in very practical ways to our day to day life (and activities) is simply genius.
No wonder Myles Munroe declares:
That life is a school, everyday is a classroom, every experience is a lesson and everyone we meet, a teacher»

Cheers with Luv!

Hi Dipo,
God bless u real good for this insight. It has opened my eyes to see what I dont know before.
Cheers

Thanks for this write up, what indeed will not kill a man will make him!..we all have various seasons in our lives but our ability to learn the lessons of each season will determine what our next season will be..may God help us always..that when the sun goes down, we will not go down with it and sleep the sleep of death but we will put our lives in the hands of the resurrected Christ, who Himself went through the stage of the sun going down on Him..his disciples denied him, the people He came to save, gave Him up to be crucified, even a thief that deserved to be crucified mocked Him, he was beaten, scourged and died with the words of forgiveness in His mouth for those that afflicted Him..but if they had known this was for His good..they would have left Him alone..but His death and resurrection shows there is no sun we can not overcome!..God will continue to shut the mouth of the lions of afflictions in our lives and cause us to shine forth in Jesus name amen! Thanks again and know that You will shine always!

Congrats to Emeka Okolie, enjoy your well deserved designer watch my brother..and flash it to show that God is faithful to promote us all even in the little things we do..just by being supportive..can earn us all a big blessing from God and men! Shallom and happy resurrection month to all!

@Congrats Emeka,
@Thanks once again Dipo. Theese are thought-provoking inspirations. I will not agree less. Life is a school, we learn everyday. When NITEL was the only telecommunication company, a friend was able to acquire a line and rented a shop for telephone business. While listening to network news same day, government outlawed making call in business centres. The whole money went down the drain. He re-strategised and moved on. Napoleon Hill said «every obstacle brings with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit». Prayer is the key that unlucks obstacles.
@All, Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Be thankful when you are tired and weary, because it means you have made a difference. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
