The harvest is now! No more excuses! You can now work and get PMP certified without the hassles of attending and following the regiment of classroom training. No matter your work schedule or perceived geographical limitations, you can attend the training anywhere as long as you have access to the Internet 24 hours 7 days […]
Last year, my daughter’s report card was brought to my table and I hurriedly perused it hoping to see a position. Alas! There was none. After a conscientious inquiry from the school, I was told she was 2nd in class. The first thing that came from my mouth was; “the person that came 1st in […]
Francis Bacon describes knowledge as “Power” but this is very wrong in so many contexts because knowledge that is not personally applied over a period of time is simply a hypothesis. However, Applied Knowledge (aka Experience) actually breeds insight (or understanding) – a commodity worth it salt but is quite limited when compared to wisdom […]
It’s very easy to participate and win.

I woke up this morning (7th March, 2012) to a myriad of BirthDay wishes in my Facebook inbox. Thank you for being so kind. God has truly blessed me and has given me XX years life on earth. If anybody can accurately guess my age, I will give the person a Brand New Jumbo Washing […]

I was immediately excited about the topic and started meditating on how to connect these two topics together. With the rising failure of small business operation in Nigeria, I discovered with shame, how easy it is to adopt […]
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 […]
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 yuletide season is around the corner and there are many activities associated with this particular season; from weddings to house makeovers to various Christian functions. However, there is one particular important aspect that fascinates me about the end of the year – the need for Nigerians to get close to God through prayers. From […]
