I have been musing to write on this for a while until a recent post by Subomi Plumptre of Alder Consulting gave me the spur to put pen to paper. Her piece broke my inertia and gave me the resolve to write about this. Fifty percent or more of graduates in Nigeria who go for advanced degrees choose to do so because they couldn’t find good jobs.

But I want to attend to just two of the numerous qualities of Asiwaju Tinubu, as a meticulous strategist and a compassionate man. I select these two because this combination rarely enjoys residence in one man. Usually,…

This is for some of you, who feel like giving up; let me share my story so that you can learn from it….. Growing up as a ‘middle child’ (an elder sibling, and a younger sibling) wasn’t so great. I know a lot of people can relate with this, but you have to be me to understand my own special case. I was different from my siblings, and they never made me forget that fact, every moment of every day. I always and easily had misunderstandings with my sister, so, there was always that opportunity to remind me that I’m…

Your outcome in life is a function of what you see per time. It is quite an unfortunate thing that many people do not go far in life and destiny simply because they are not seeing the right things. There is so much power in vision. This is why the eye is a fundamental and necessary part of the body. A man without legs or hands but with functional eyes that is wide opened is a force that cannot be undermined. Take for instance; Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States of America. At some point…

In an interview with newsmen in Abuja, Apostle Suleiman said that he was ready to honour the invitation of the Department of State Services (DSS) despite the failure of the service to disclose the reason behind his invitation.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar (III), has asked religious leaders to speak against killings in the name of religion. The Sultan who was speaking in Abuja, said that bad religious teachings have been responsible for the incessant violence, especially in southern Kaduna. In the last few months, increased clashes between Fulani herdsmen and locals in southern Kaduna, have led to wanton destruction of lives and property. The National Emergency Management Agency in Nigeria (NEMA), has put the number of deaths that have occurred in the region, at 204. Meanwhile, contrary to that report, a Catholic church had earlier said 808…

Courtship is any activity that precedes marriage and it usually takes place between a man and a woman who have shown interest in each other. It is the period in a couple’s relationship which precedes their engagement and marriage, or establishment of an agreed relationship of a more enduring kind.
