You are Beautiful

I guess I have had different dispensations (what Christians call Chairos) in my life time but a great turning point took place during Job Hunting days – I was led by the Holy Spirit to buy a book by Miles Munroe called “Burden Of Freedom”. This book totally changed my life and led me to […]

Begging Beggars Re-post

I wrote this article like 7 years ago – enjoy! The popular Apongbon Bridge in Lagos that links the Island to the Mainland is usually dilapidated despite constant repairs by the government. The bridge is also crammed with beggars and hawkers scrounging car owners for money or exchange of goods for money as the traffic […]

Funny Questions?

What assurance do I have that if I pass my PMP exam, I will get a job? Can you assure me that if I train with you I will pass the exam? What assurance do I have that if I switch career to Project Management, I will become a global player earning all the fat […]

Why we Procrastinate?

In the project called life, results seems to be the name of the game – the process of achieving results is always relegated to the back burner hence if the result is not fruitful and the process is perfect, nobody seems to care about the process. So we focus on results – this is a […]

Failing All the Way to Success

Startup Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Its not everyday I get inspired by people’s humility and forthrightness but I was truly inspired by Jason Njoku’s speech on TedX Euston. With so many “fake till you make it” packaging surrounding the entrepreneurial space in Nigeria, it was easy for me to be drawn to […]

Are Customers always right?

It is only those who have never directly dealt with customers that say the usual cliché like “customers are always right”. However, it may be obvious that even when you know that customers are not right, you simply allow the customer have its way because you know that your whole financial existence is hinge on […]

The Monkey Mind Syndrome

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 […]

Marriage Rut?

The easiest way to detect that your love is waxing cold towards your partner is tolerance; tolerance is simply going against your inner desire. It is actually worse than “hate” because in the case of “hate”; you have resolved your feelings towards your partner.  It’s either you are hot or cold; white or black or […]

How important is Project Management to career advancement?

I was recently invited to a bank retreat to share on Project Management. The Credit Analysis department sponsoring the retreat wanted me to demystify Project Management in 2-hours so their staffs could adequately and effectively communicate with their vendors. Since the financial aspect went well during negotiations, I did not immediately envision the task ahead […]

Are U Frustrated with Work?

For the past week, I have been getting calls and emails from guys who want more out of life rather than the 8-6, Mon-Fri, work cycle; I could detect frustration and hopelessness in their voice viz-a-viz the emails. I have been in this position several times in my life while in paid employment and most […]

Nigerians vote to complain

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 […]
