Someone once said, "blacks are Blacks' problem". I disagreed and he explained how an uncle gave him a shirt and shoe worth $4500 when he had earlier requested capital for his business from the same uncle but explained a lack of funds. I smiled and said, your uncle is not your problem, Africans' definition of "capital" is the problem. When we hear the word 'capital' what comes to mind is huge sum. He looked at me and nodded affirmatively. His uncle said he didn't have "that kind of money". I know many people have received that kind of disappointing response from people. The question is what is "that kind of money" called "capital"? Start small, grow big. Many young entrepreneurs prepare business plans with a huge capital base because they want to hit the ground running (start big). I'd rather say, break your business plans into small phases and milestones. For instance, I had a 100 million studio idea, but I broke

Each time I see that statement on twitter I ask, why not follow first. I discover it has become a norm for most Nigerians do not want to dare to be the first; first to take an action. Instead, they wait on others to take the first step for them to "follow back". This same mentality has been brought into social media. Observing events during the Biafra agitation and the Revolution Now campaign, I see many Nigerians yearn for leadership and direction. They waited in silence for years for the person to take the lead towards their agitation before coming out en-masse. But why do they die in silence and not take the lead? Fear? In classrooms, you will see children being afraid to say their minds even when they have an answer in mind. The assumption "what if I'm wrong," creates a fear that kills their confidence. What if you're wrong? There is no crime in being wrong, in fact, you learn from being corrected of a wrong. Grow your confidence by learning to take on i

Do you know that your backup plan can lead to the break up of your existing relationship? (Especially in open relationships.) Marriage counselors will always advise building a relationship on 'trust' because many relationships break because of distrust chiefly caused by infidelity and insincerity. Does a backup plan amount to infidelity? Infidelity can be broadly defined as the breaking of a promise in a romantic relationship, whether such promise was a part of a marriage vow, a privately uttered agreement between the lovers, or an unspoken assumption. With this definition, it is quite clear that keeping a secret 'back up' relationship amounts to infidelity in a committed relationship. Heartbreak is a bitter experience many persons don't want to experience, hence their reasons for a backup plan. However, wouldn't it be foolish if you are the architect of your own heartbreak by keeping 'secret relationships' that eventually break your relations

I just settled in my seat (window seat) on an aero flight when this Oyinbo lady lady walked in and sat on the aisle seat. There was just a seat in between us. She was on a call and only smiled at me to greet me and continued with her conversation.  Shortly later, an Alhaji walked in neat white kaftan and a blue cap. He was to take the seat in between myself and the Oyinbo. I made some observations about my two seat mates. The Oyinbo.  Fluent, well-versed and free...yeah! That's the word, she was FREE with her conversation on the phone. SELF CONFIDENCE. The Alhaji You see the Alhaji, he isn't well read, semi-literate but he was kinda rich, carefree and confident too. He was just chewing whatever it was he had in his mouth 'carefreely'. You can see the assessment of both. They were both FREE (even though one had "care" before his own free) but it takes confidence to even be carefree in your illiteracy. Both knew their SELF worth and were confident in it. Observi

I was once asked to teach a class about "Getting Rich"... I was almost tempted to ask the question, you know the question right? "Are you insane?" Yes, that was the question. "Am I rich enough to teach such a class?" I responded. But the man said, "it's all packaging, we just need your oratory prowess". Then it dawned on me, so I was rich after all. Yeah, I was rich with words! And so are you too rich in something. Being rich isn't really about money but about abundance. That is, the thing you have abundantly in you. It may be money, skills, talent, words or some desirable qualities. Getting rich is about being the best of who you are, and of what you do. Growing in the abundance of that speciality in you that makes the world seek after you. To get paid the best, you must be the best! Start being the best!

Many are twerking their way into marriage instead of praying their way in. Watching most marriage reception programs on IG is quite disappointing. Newly wed couples display well rehearsed dance steps on the dance floor but when it's time to say prayers, they mutter and stammer few words. Do you observe the bridal entry in most marriages today? You will see the energy the ladies put into dance rehearsals to twerk their way into the venue. Same with the guys too. They would "gbe-body and gbese" all the way in. I totally understand the joy of the moment and it's really not a bad thing for someone who has adequately prepared for the marriage journey. What many youths prepare for nowadays are for wedding ceremonies and not marriage itself. They forget that wedding is only a ceremony that last few hours while marriage lasts a lifetime. If you could spend resources and time to ensure that the few hours wedding ceremony is "loud gan" (a talk of the town), while
