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…

The population of the world today is over 7 billion people – over 7 billion thoughts per second; over 7 billion ideas; over 7 billion plans and pursuits per second and over 7 billion devotions. Ordinarily, that statistics connotes a competitive world – a world where we almost compete for access to peace, water, oxygen and comfort. It is more than a fact that the inherent desire of everyone is to attain to comfort, abundance, peace, security and space. Incidentally, the whole world does not guarantee all that, leading to pressure on the available space, security and satisfaction. Sometime ago…

A blog host is the company that provides the space on their servers and equipment to store your blog. Typically, a fee is required to store your blog on a blog host’s server. Blogging hosts can provide a variety of ancillary services, and some blog hosts provide blogging software as well. A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of…

This constitution is the Grand norm of any group, association, organization, society or nation. Every other law stands or falls by it. And if I may take it further, I would state very strongly that the constitution is the binding force of the various constituents of a corporate entity. An entity in reality is as strong as its constituents and the legal document that binds every entity is what I call the Constitution. From the colonial era to the post-colonial era, Nigeria has never lacked constitution of some sort. However, the “legitimacy of most of the constitutions could become a…

The world is a fast-pace entity and the events in the world unfold so fast that there is a huge possibility for us to loose touch with our resolutions and decisions. It is not difficult in our world to start some great projects; initiate some fantastic projects and start some ventures of some sort. That is, our societies are not lacking in start-ups; but finishers or developers. While I admire the tenacity, audacity and the passion required to start any great venture, adventure or cause; I also believe that start many things without completing or perfecting them is almost as…
