My daughter is always insisting on watching cartoons; my wife insists on Africa Magic and I have no say on what to watch but grudgingly sit still to watch what they want. It’s always good not to usurp your “Head of the House” power because if you take time to review what they want, you […]
The more I meditate on financial freedom for all, the more it appears like an illusion; an unattainable reach. “The poor we would always have†is a statement made by Jesus Christ. In making this statement, Jesus attacked the mindset of always trying to save everybody from being poor. In a recent speaking engagement to […]
The plane was jerking rigorously on my way to Enugu and for a split second, I thought the end had come until I remember that I really had nothing to worry about: I was on purpose to once again teach on financial freedom. The night prior to this event was unusual because I discovered something […]
Shock actually begets me when I reviewed the data from a Microfinance research on business outfits with the highest weekly turnover in my area (which I can regard as a suburb). I could see the relevant of this type of research to a Microfinance bank whose sole interest is in preventing bad loans but for […]
Ok, I decided to take a one-week break from all my business activities only to resume today to a hacked site. Wow! Humans can decide to be frigging wicked whenever they have the power to. Well, no need to dwell on the negative; I would just have to rebuild my site again. My week off […]
Three years! Wow, I cannot really believe it: This site has existed for three years and today marks the beginning of the journey of bringing educative, informative and thought-provoking contents to you. I am really not sure of how to contain the emotions I feel but looking back at the decision to float this site, […]
Do you rather I tell you some home truth or sugar-coat the realities on ground? I think I would choose the former; if you are reading this article, you have a maximum of a 100 years to live (well, I still have to sugarcoat it). Look at where you are today; do you think you […]
What is all this fuss about project management? I have observed that when you are trying to get some plush jobs (not just any job because jobs have levels; I mean jobs that can make you permanently bid farewell to poverty), you are asked in an interview if you have a Prince2 or Project Management […]
I hope it’s no more news to you that 300 (three hundred) Zain executives were laid off last week and despite the fact that I have some other articles to write about, I have no choice than to invoke my calling by educating those that believe that this kind of thing can never happen to […]
Seriously, whenever I see a landlord, I see a smart investor especially in a country like Nigeria where there is neither price regulation nor downward review of commodities. Landlords have covered all the aces of investment – capital gain and leasing. Think of it, every investment follows these two patterns of investment. Where do I […]
Obama’s 100 days in office was quite instructive to me on a personal level; the freedom of the campaign trail contrasts sharply with the constraints of reality. When all have been argued, the bottom line is that there has really been no policy change from the Bush administration. However, there has been shift in global […]
The MBA seminar got me more tired than I projected with questions flying from various quarters: I suddenly realized that everyone desires to increase their productivity but almost everyone goes through it the wrong way. Is it an expansion in business? Is it a promotion at the workplace? Do you want to improve your work […]
