   When I finished secondary education, it's no news that dealing with O'level results and JAMB would be the next thing, it's also no news that one passes these exams by luck, except you are exceptionally brilliant, a genius to say. I wrote WASSCE and NECO in my school, I didn't pass because there was mass failure (that was my excuse though). When I told my dad I failed because there was mass failure, he asked, "did everyone actually fail?", I could not answer. Then he asked me if it was a must I join the masses in failing, I still couldn't give an answer to that, but, I held on to those questions. I registered for WASSCE again, read, wrote and passed, I knew I got lucky, it wasn't as if I read so much. I sat for JAMB examination as well and I did pass.        I got admitted into tertiary institution, and, truth be told, I met unpleasant situations and stories, no one had a good news about any course there, I thought within myself "this wasn't

                    I WILL GET BACK TO YOU!       As someone into a business or the other. You probably sell something and need people's patronage and you get a customer who you have discussed business with, obviously, that has got your hope really high and at the end of discussion, all you hear is "I will get back to you".      I know how that statement feels, it downs the business owner's spirit most of the time, especially, a just starting business. The seller's spirit, soul and body will definitely be there and he/she might keep on marketing to you holding on to you getting back to him/her. We are different individuals and how we take statements varies. Some might not count the statement so serious, they are probably used to it, but, some would actually take it to heart and really expect you to keep to your words. And, as long as you repeat that statement to them, they keep marketing their businesses to you.     Customers and clients, there are actually better

LIFE? It goes on! Sometimes, we do not have to be chaotic about everything that happens around us! This happens, you shout! That happened, you exclaim! A child who can rise up whenever he falls fell, we explode! I mean, we do not need to develop unnecessary High blood pressure over everything. If these whole stress and chaos is just about life, then, I'm glad to announce to you that it goes on even without everyone's existence. So, why stress your spirit, soul and body? You really do not need to exclaim about anything and everything. You ever wonder why you have sleepless nights? Why you carry all your burden to bed after a whole day of stressing your entire self when it might not even matter years to come? You get to sleep at late hours just because of what can be solved simply. Because of what you might look back and check after five years and realize it never worth brooding over. You keep piling matters up in your mind and end up injuring yourself from within, at the long ru

BE YOURSELF, APPRECIATE YOURSELF! You are beautiful, you are gorgeous, you are amazing, you are charming! You are a king in your Kingdom!  You are an Emperor in your empire!  You are a Queen in your kingdom, an Empress in your empire!  You drip beauty! You are not thin, you are slender and slim. In your slimness, you are perfect. You are not fat, you are thick and chubby. In your thickness, you are a star! You are perfect just the way you are! You need no one to define to you what beauty is because you live in it. Your body and skin is your paradise on earth. If you do not get appreciated by people around you, look into the mirror and appreciate the beauty you behold. No one will appreciate you if you do not. Appreciation for oneself comes from within, thereafter, without. Do not let anyone talk you down. You are your own beauty model; you are your own star. If you need to apply any cosmetic, maybe it is just for you to touch your beauty up. You are a beauty to behold all day, everyday

Everyone has their views on what Covid-19 is, some see it as a curse, some view it as a result of our sins, some view it as an agent to stagnancy, people have said a lot about it, but, I see it as a blessing in disguise.  Before covid-19, there was noise everywhere, journeys upon journeys, meetings upon meetings, you get calls here and there, you attend conferences to get updated about things around you, noise was absolutely everywhere, and suddenly, silence! Everywhere got shutdown, borders, schools, worship centers, airlines, businesses, offices, everywhere got silenced.  Now, everyone is back at home, businessmen, students, civil servants, public servants, virtually everyone. Those parents who never had time for their children now have enough time, those who do not know a particular character of a child gets to know the child more, spouses who never showed each other intimate love due to the nature of their businesses now do, everything in the home changes, a child who is not do

- Discovering one’s purpose. - Bringing the purpose into reality and making it big. - Do not copy, you are born original, do not fake who you are, believe in your own abilities, this can get you through any darkness. - Repetition, make sure you always repeat the right thing, a scholar once said (I am not afraid of a man who has practiced ten thousand cakes once, I am afraid of a man who has practiced one cake ten thousand times). - Pure heart, have a pure heart, do not think bad or evil of anyone, stop envying, God is working on your success as well, as long as you don’t fold your arms and keep shut. - Laugh always, laughter is a beautifier, be joyous, be happy, these things are beautifiers and they make one look younger. - Do not worry about unimportant things, they are here and they will definitely go. Just keep being you. - Have a good support system. Be around those who want to see you succeed, those who help you in achieving your goals. Your circle does not have to be big, keep th

There are so many single persons out there who believe it is, or, it might be over for them already. Being single is not and never plagues that the society has made it look like. A question I would like to ask you as a single person is, while you are single, what are you doing? Are you just waiting with no angle to be aligned to? The description of a waiter I will make will simply be that of eateries. Waiters and waitresses at eateries. Waiters at eateries and bars basically wait to serve customers, they don’t just wait for nothing, and they serve real packages to customers. Now, the point I am driving at is, while you wait, serve. Don’t wait for nothing, you have to be in a position to be found, you need to be met halfway.  Be in alignment as you serve. As a waiter never serves customers unreal packages, as a single that is waiting as well, be real; don’t be an unreal package. You just can’t sit and expect the other person to come meet you exactly where you are, catching up with him/h

There are few steps to success people take and most of these steps can be wrong if you as an individual do not discover your purpose. Discovering one’s purpose may look difficult, but, it is actually very simple. Your purpose simply, is what you love doing, what you are passionate about, what you do with so much passion without even being paid for it. It is that thing you can’t leave for something else. You are called upon to eat or do something important, and you find yourself not leaving that point you are till what you are doing gets done, that exactly is your purpose. People sometimes tend to think the white collar job they do is their purpose, it could be, but, most times, it is not. If people’s purposes are tied to their jobs, then why do we have people who multitask? Why do we have bankers, lawyers and other professional workers who have various businesses asides their jobs? Who you are, which is your purpose is not in any way tied to the job you do. Who you are is inside of
