Nigerians vote to complain

votetocomplain

In 1979, the election was between Awolowo and Shagari – Nigerians voted Shagari (an unknown grade 2 teacher hyped by the cabals of the day). 22years later, the same Nigerians learnt nothing from history  – I would have been expecting people who have been voting recently since 1999 (after years of military rule) to be …

An African Issue

1659349135_13aa0f3304_m

Africans may be myopic in recognizing the most difficult issue facing them– the general agreement is that HIV is the number one killer but I disagree because Bad Leadership takes precedence and ranks higher in priority. While HIV infects in an Arithmetic Progression, Bad Leadership attacks in a Geometric Progression. Before HIV can attack a …

The Most Important Ingredient of Success

 I was held down by traffic just 30 minutes to the close of my daughter’s Open Day in school; I realized how important it was that I attended such function but my thoughts were already defeated; “I can’t make it on time – what a waste of effort with those Catholic Schools and their strict …

One of the major obstacle we experience in achieving our individual goal(s) is a phenomenon called the Monkey Mind – It refers to the little voice in your mind that comments on nearly everything you do or experience. It is that stream of consciousness that keeps flitting from one thing to the other like a monkey …

The job-search industry in Nigeria is a big market with zero barriers to entry and unlimited opportunity – only few people have been able to harness its potential. There is an estimated eighty thousand unemployed universities and polytechnic graduate at every given season in a year. The odd part of the deal is that different …

Spiritual Politics

One of the amazing things about the BON debate was the final speech of President Jonathan – it was unexpected, surprising and inspiring at the same time. I stood up in my living room and actually clapped for PDP. As a student of marketing, I have to give respect to the consultants that packaged it …

A long Walk to Nowhere

1s

Once upon a time (well, not too long ago), I was a strong proponent of the Buhari/Bakare ticket for the presidential race in the April election in Nigeria but I have woken up from such dreams and done a complete 3600 repentance. In other words, I am taking the biblical stance in my support towards …

builder4891107908_f1b88b25fc_m

First things first, let me define what I mean by hustling as it seems to connote variety of meanings – According to “AudioEnglish.net”, a hustler is a shrewd person who knows how to circumvent difficulties. Hustling is a state of mind and can happen to the best of us no matter how morally upright you …
