Wow! I hope you guys have not missed me much because I have been totally engaged with one thing or the other since I got to China and I have not had the energy to update my blog. China has also banned facebook, youtube and the likes so I will posting my personal pics. Whenever, […]
Gifts are a symbol of appreciation and in many ways show love towards the recipient; no matter how small the gift may be, it sparks an emotional euphoria in the atmosphere especially when received from someone you care about. In reality, the kind of gift you give says a lot about the way you feel […]
Someone once asked me what I enjoyed doing and the first thought that came to me was passing across exciting information that would empower those who need it. I do this through various creative mediums like writing, teaching and I hope to produce films some days. I am so passionate about this that I could […]
“You’ve got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going because you might not get there.†—Yogi Berra I got a call two weeks ago to present a business plan to a cooperative interested in setting up a grocery shop. I immediately buried myself into research and came out with a conservative plan […]
I have been thinking seriously about having a second wife especially after God has blessed me with a successful marriage. I remember the words of a lady friend that dispel my cold feet towards my wedding; “A good wife is a life time asset”. Well, she was a trained accountant, so using such parlance to […]
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 […]
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 […]
