As an elementary school student, I was always fascinated by Yoruba proverbs especially the literal English translation; the one that particular took my interest was the one about a king’s palace; “when the house of a king burns down, he will build a more beautiful one”. It never truly made sense until I gave up […]
I have asked myself several times why it is important to keep score of success and to continuously remind myself about the “why” I do what I do. Exactly September 2010, we started our Project Management (PM) class not having an idea where it will lead us – our mission was simple – provide quality […]
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 […]
As an investor, I love travelling because gaining arbitrage is simply capitalizing on the difference between varying geographical market prices. Majority of Nigerian investors (both big and small) focus on the China Market – its not a secret that almost 95% of everything you have in your home and office is produced in China – […]
This poem has been with me since 12 years ago and reading it continually brings fresh perspective – When I read it in my undergrad days, I thought of how much people read and still fail; when I read it during my job hunting days, it consoled me whenever I failed an aptitude test or interview; […]
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 […]
Back in my undergrad days, I wondered why students were crazy about their weights. Whenever weight guys (permit me to call them that) come around chanting; “check your weight” – almost everyone wants to check their weight. It wasn’t as if we had anything to worry about since the school routine forces us to be […]
There are two schools of thought concerning chasing your dreams; chase your dream and the money will follow or chase the money and the dream will follow. At exactly this date, 5 years ago, I wanted to be a Novelist but the economic realities were too strong to attempt such dreams. I don’t know if […]

The publication is regularly updated with both corporate and non-corporate positions, periodic training sessions, news and trends in the job market. With this medium, we aim to reach the hundreds and thousands youths looking for jobs and provide a platform for […]

You can join me to share your daily experience(s) like false start, dryness, sleeping off, […]
I joined Rotary Club last year and it has been a great ride for me – their motto “Service above Self” resonates with my core belief. In other to promote such great cause, I invited Kunle Sonukan, the Charter President of Rotary Club, Ishara Golden, to our ongoing Project Management Class in May to speak […]
Over the years, I have come to understand the power of Personal Self Development and how a consciously-aware individual can cause positive change within his/her environment. However, almost everywhere in Nigeria is without form and void and darkness seem to persist in the face of the deep hence we need LIGHT! Not just light that […]
