Considering the prevalence of inequality and injustice across the World today; there is a latent tendency in many of us not think of ourselves as leaders. We see everyone else as leaders except ourselves. We remind ourselves of how difficult it has been for us growing up; we recount our failures and mention our rejections. The, we conclude, how on earth cam someone like us ever lead anything or anyone?             While reading through the book of Genesis, I found out what anyone of us could do with his or her leadership call. Remember, our focus for some time now…

One thing is clear among many other facts or figures that people don’t always remember what you said, where you said and what you wore  when you said. The human memory, even though is potent; is built to remember important  things. The human memory functions in a manner that replaces the old with new. Should you therefore desire the old to remain; something extra than normal must be done. Come to think of it, if the memory does not auto erase  irrelevant or has important  things; how come the people of most nations recycle corrupt, deceptive and dictatorial politicians in…

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Gboyega Adedeji. I am so glad to welcome you to this week’s edition of Leaderview, I hope your week has been great? I am so grateful to God for that. I am sure you remember that a few weeks ago, it is running into months now actually; that we began a series titled “The Leadership trip to Genesis” and I am sure it has been a blessing to you. Today, we are going to continue in that series and I believe what God has prepared for us today is going to be something that…

One thing must be clear, a tree will always bear fruit after it’s kind. It is very unusual for you to find an orange fruit on an apple tree. Make the tree good and its fruit would be good was the advice of Jesus Christ. While some people believe that politics is a game, some think it as a business and some see it as a means to an end. It is therefore very unlikely for you to find any politician who lacks motive (right or wrong) in politics. The point is, no one accidentally becomes a politician, people…

In the word of Jesus Christ, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.” (John 9:4).  Each time I remember that statement from Jesus and also note how many years He spent in Israel on the work God sent Him to do; I wonder what on earth is happening in Nigeria – our Fatherland! At age 30, He began His public ministry (service) and at 33+, He left the earth for heaven – where He came from. Implying that He only had 3 and half years to…

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Gboyega Adedeji. I am so glad to welcome you to this week’s edition of Leaderview. I hope your week has been great? I am so glad for that. I bless God for this opportunity given to me by God to be in this position to connect with you and to be a blessing to you. There is something that God has been cooking up for a while which I believe is the right food for our thought as leaders in this time and season and dispensation. Don’t forget we began some weeks ago the…

According to Dr. John C. Maxwell (a prominent Leadership expert) said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership”; implying that when all is said and done, the success or the otherwise of any group, team, organization or nation is a consequence of the actions and the inaction of its leader(s). In 2015, Nigerians massively supported, while some reasonable millions VOTED for the All Progressive Congress at the Presidential polls, and their members were massively given the green light the Legislative chambers. From that time in 2015 to this moment (2018); it has been from one drama to another. In fact,…

The Ruling Political Party in Nigeria (All Progressives Congress – APC) unanimously chose the incumbent President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has its Presidential candidate in the coming Presidential Elections in February, 2019. While many people felt the party should have made the choice carefully, in order not to upset the emotions or orientations of many Nigerians; the party still went ahead with the consensus on the Presidential ticket, which resulted in the emergence of the incumbent as their Presidential flag-bearer. While that decision must have painstakingly done by them; many Nigerians have struggled to accept…

Each time I consider the societies – both immediately and remotely, and I discover the apparent apartheid of many people  – especially the males, towards the great institution called marriage; I often wonder, “Haven’t these people read?” The truth is, every difficulty we experience with or over any matter is a manifestation of our ignorance. With adequate knowledge comes ease, contentment, patience and understanding. While weddings take place across the world every week; a great number of matured men are still single and searching. If you ask them, “Why aren’t you married yet?” When they want to be honest, they tell…

More than what you may love to think about man, woman or yourself; I have come to discover the very thing that explains the functionality of every man – irrespective of age, gender, race, religion or generation. According to the book of Genesis 1:26, man was made in the image and likeness of God. However, unlike God, the body of man was made from the dust of the ground (earth). As soon as the body of man was fabricated by God, He released His nature into formed body, which made man a living being; even as God is the…
