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 […]
It was not enough that the month of March was my birthday but deeper than that were aberrations that seem to become the norm. I have long dropped the perception called “coincidence” and stuck the biblical lingo called “purpose” – there is a reason for the season – there is no chance meeting, there is […]
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 […]
It’s almost a month since I blogged – even I have to shake my head for myself. Well, I don’t like giving excuses but I had to take necessary action to improve myself and grow in my professional endeavor. So my dear readers, it’s for the greater good but now I am back stronger and […]
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 […]
As I sat in the company of iconoclasts in a Youth Business Initiative (YBI) discuss meeting, I had no choice but to learn. First let me tell you the kinds of cerebral guys that were there – Peterside of Stanbic IBTC, Sulaiman of Accenture, Pastor Ighodalo, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, former Governor of Ekiti State and […]
I have never heard of The Goat Race until I got to Uganda – Luckily for me it was held once a year at the Munyonyo Resort where I was residing in Kampala so it was easy to get full gist and access to the venue. It is actually one of the biggest events in […]
I really learnt so many things in 2010 from books, movies to varying speakers but none of these lessons can be compared to one I picked from personal experience. At 5.00am, I was at Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou rushing for a meeting in Chongqing. I was tired and sleepy because two days prior to this […]
Confused and annoyed is the best way I can describe my dear friend who sat opposite me with tears in her eyes! “I just can’t stand it again” she said…..”I pick after him every blessed day!” “Linda is this coming from you? When exactly did you change? This is your characteristics or am I mistaken […]
We have so many things going for us as a Project Management Training Center: We have the highest Benefit Cost Ratio in Nigeria. Don’t let me blow our trumpet; just listen to some of our graduating students: “For such qualitative training, the cost is really unbelievable, very low compared to other PM training organizations.” – November […]
I remember fondly the first day of the first Project Management Class I coordinated; each of the 25 participants was asked to name a Project. For each project named, a resounding clap from the class followed. Projects like the 2010 World Cup, Big Brother Africa, 2011 Elections and The Experience drew cheers from the class […]
The year is ending; we need to close our books and get rid of old stocks. So we are offering opportunity seekers in Lagos, the deal that may either save or put money in their pockets. Unfortunately, this deal closes while the old stocks last but we forecast 20th of December, 2010. Forget about hampers […]
