Let me start by explaining what the field of a leader is to us. The field of a leader talks about his or her respective sphere of operation or leadership. For example, if you are a chief executive officer of a bank, then it means the banking sector is your field. If you are a Christian spiritual leader, then it means the body of Christ is your own field. If you are the president of your country, then your field is your nation. And if you are leader of a leadership consulting firm, then it means your sphere of influence…

• Agitators push for N120 per litre of fuel • Threaten to shut down oil production in 11 days • NNPC takes over pricing, confusion in PPPRA The Nigeria labour movement appears to have finally lost the battle to stop tariff hikes in the two critical sectors of downstream petroleum and electricity. Niger-Delta Youth Council (NDYC), yesterday, threatened to shut down oil production over increase in pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS). NDYC Convener, General Ebi Tamuno, in a statement, said there was no justification for worsening the plight of Nigerians through persistent hikes in price of fuel. It…

The WHO says the risk of catching COVID-19 from frozen food is low, but China has repeatedly sounded alarms after detecting the virus on packaging of products ranging from German pork knuckles to Ecuadorian shrimp, triggering disruptive import bans. China, which has used drastic measures to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, this week tightened restrictions requiring “full coverage” testing and disinfection of imported food products, following a smattering of positive samples detected on beef, pork and seafood. The country has suspended imports of 99 suppliers from 20 countries, the National Health Commission said on Thursday. Beijing argues that…

Ever since God created the world and put man in charge of it, man has never stopped looking for ways and means to progress, especially outside of God. There was a time certain group of people decided to build a tower that would get to heaven. In Genesis 11:1-9, the Bible gave us an account of that story and this story was the genesis of the many cultures that will have across the world today. The Bible says: Listen to Podcast: Cultural Shift and Its Effect on Leadership “Now the whole earth had one language and one speech…” This…

On October 8, this year, the youth of the country began a protest with the hashtag #ENDSARS. It was aimed at curbing police brutality, which was encapsulated in a five-point demand to wit: Immediate release of all arrested protesters; justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensations for their families; setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reported police misconduct within a period of 10 days; carrying out psychological evaluation and retaining of all disbanded SARS operatives before they can be deployed, which should be verified by an independent body and…

On today’s episode of Leaderview, I want to share with you Five Things You Need to Move Your Nation or Organization Forward as a Missionary Leader! I believe that as a leader that you are, one of the things that is paramount in your heart is success. No leader wants to fail or prays to fail in any form. I don’t think I have come across any leader who sets out on a journey of leadership in order to fail. Success is always the goal and this is why I believe this podcast today would be of tremendous benefit to…

Today on Leaderview, our beam of light will be projected towards spiritual leaders, but this does not mean that leaders in other spheres of life cannot benefit from the same word. They can actually benefit as well. So, irrespective of your sphere of leadership influence, I want you to please pay attention to this podcast. Listen to Podcast: The Scope of Your Mission as a Spiritual Leader One of the many things that is so fundamental in spiritual leadership and one that many spiritual leaders cannot afford to be in the dark about is that as a spiritual leader,…

I want us to begin by understanding the etymology of the word “missionary.” This understanding I believe would better give a proper perspective into what we want to discuss with ourselves today. Because most of the times, we have limited our understanding of who a missionary is to be a man or a woman in one remote village somewhere in the world propagating the work of the gospel. While this is absolutely true, that is not all there is to what the word “missionary” entails. Listen to Podcast: The Missionary Leader The term “missionary” is derived from the…

Let me begin by introducing to us what family leadership is, peradventure there are one or two persons out there who aren’t familiar with this aspect of leadership yet or who may not have seen it from this angle I am bringing our way today. Family leadership primarily occurs in an atmosphere where parents (the father and mother) model excellent values for their children in their upbringing. In other words, the father and mother become the compass for good behavior for their children in moral and character development. You would agree with me that one of the biggest challenges…

One fundamental reason why people get married is because they want to be better off in marriage than being single. I doubt there is any man or woman who nurses the ambition of going into the marital union and become worse off than they were before they got married. Marriage usually is meant to bring out the best in you, and not the worse in you. Listen to Podcast: Towards Resolving Marriage Disequilibrium The reason is because there are certain things you may never be able to accomplish on your own being single, until you enter into the…
