The mantra “Change Begins With Me” is not the problem of Nigeria and Nigerians deserves the right to vent their dissatisfaction with the current status of the economy of Nigeria. Sometime in 2015, I submitted an article on Witicles.com titled: “The Folly Of Electioneering in Nigeria: We Either Change or Perish”; the article was later published on Fridayposts.com. I submitted very strongly on the possible consequence of the choice Nigerians were to make; and their attitude. At that time, Naira was hardly used to compel people to vote; many politicians changed their minds on who to support based on the quantum of dollars…

It has been said that people do what people see; and that explains the situation of Nigeria and the relationship between the President of Nigeria and Nigerians. While the Federal Government expects people to do what they say; ultimately, what people do is what people see the FG doing. If you take a careful look at the picture above; you would see the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria talking and laughing while reading the newspaper. If you take a walk outside your workplace or house and move through the streets; you will see Nigerians that ought to be producing…

It has been said that talk is cheap; and if I may, I would compare men and women that only talk to the situation where it is said that if wishes were horses; beggars would ride. It is one thing to say something, and another is to do something; the vast majority of us do not have problem saying things (maybe because we all have our own share of mouth); but the aspect of doing become cumbersome for even the most active men and women. It is possible for you to lay yourself on a nice textured bed, while you…

Undoubtedly, there is a shortage of relevant resources on the earth today. Many families, cities, states and nations are short of needed resources for survival, growth and development; which in a way have created a sense of scarcity in many people, corporations and countries. Many people have settled for less, accepting whatever comes there way as their own fortune or their own fate. This sense of claim, which has made countless people across nations to possess substances as their own; has equally made many to experience scarcity in their lives. While these sense of scarcity and sense of claim have…

The economy of any body or nation can be described in a form as money in the pocket, food on the table, money in the bank (safe). That description seems simple though; however, it covers quite a number of things that defines everyone or country’s economic condition. The areas covered include: Money in the pocket – Aggregate spending; Food on the table – Aggregate production; Money in the bank –  Aggregate Income (Reserve). It has been said that everyone’s today was his or her tomorrow; and everyone’s present was his or her future. The implication of that is very simple;…

Governance is simply the action or manner of governing a state, organization, etc. To govern basically mean to rule or control. In the face of the reality of governance, which is anything done with the intent of exercising rule or control over or among a people; we must examine our corporate experience in Nigeria and compare it with the ideal. In my own opinion; governance is premised on the foundation of order, access and provision. The people, organization of nation is governed for the primary purpose of providing order and access. People, organization or nation require access from the government (leadership);…

Marriage is called a necessary evil by many ignorant folks; men and women who cannot understand, nor accept the basic principles of marriage, but enjoy the reality of its operations. If you have studied the book of Genesis 1 and 2, which chronicles the creation of heaven, the earth and its inhabitants. You would have noticed that after every creation of God, there was a standard appraisal by God on the product (creation). And in all instances, God said good! In fact, after man was created, God gave very good status on man. However, in chapter 2 of Genesis, verse…

Purpose is a foundational issue in heaven, on earth, in every corporate organizational decision and family choices. Once purpose is known; everything else can be known or deduced. In fact, purpose is so important to organizations that they coined phrase for it – Strategic Intent! Beneath every organizational decision or commitment or production or expenditure is a strategic intent, which spells out in detail, the reason or basis for organizational goals or objectives. Hence, no organization engages in strategic implementation or execution without first dealing with their strategic intention extensively. And as it is for organizations, it is for us…

The matter of purpose for living is a sensitive matter that must be handled with much wisdom, planning and understanding. It is said, When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable; which connotes the indispensability of the knowledge of purpose for living for everyone. Having realized that everyone must be aware of his or her purpose for living; we must also know that there is a huge difference between knowing one’s purpose and doing (pursuing or fulfilling) one’s purpose. While anyone who knows his or her purpose for living and also do it; could be described…

Depression is a compound word that marries devil with pressing. Whenever anyone is pressed by the devil; such a man or woman is depressed. From another angle, we could conclude that depression is a state of being pressured by the devil. Pressure could produce patience, toughness, and focus from anyone who handles it well; however, when a man is being pressured by the devil, over any matter, thought or decision; such a person is being de-pressed! A man is not a failure when he fails – for failure is a personality or character or attitude; while fail is an event…
