The Longer & Darker Path

The path of a person with the destiny of a nation is always slightly different from the path of others.  It can be darker than others. One can look disadvantaged and left behind by colleagues and friends. When I get to heaven, I intend to first hug and interview Prime Minister Joseph if possible馃榿 I know he must have cried secretly and must have lifted his eyes looking at the brick ceiling of the prison asking why his own path looked darker, tougher and lonelier than others. He didn't know that he was being preserved to do what he has always done for free but this time around with a reward that would erase his pain of many years.  He stayed nonetheless and hung in.  You were selected and picked for a task with your name on it.  'Hard' is part of the package but if you hang in, you will hit gold.  If you choose to throw in the towel by taking your life or settle for something you know is not you, you have lost a chance to truly live a life of impact + meaning and quit just l

See Rejection Differently

When you are rejected by an organization, when your scholarship application is rejected, when you are denied entry into a group, when your Visa application is rejected or when the lady you desire, says NO despite ticking the required boxes, how do you feel ? Let me guess, you feel sad, discouraged, lonely, cursed and maybe even depressed, shey?馃ゲ Many of the 'strong' persons you see today have faced and still face rejection at one point or the other but they still chose to be strong.  They have an understanding that rejection is more about the rejector than the rejected.  Organizations and people have preferences that they have decided upon based on their background, experience or knowledge level of how things work.  Rejection normally seem to be a sign of being hated or not loved.  But you see, sometimes, God uses rejection to pull you out of trouble in advance. A young man got a fully paid scholarship to study in an European country from Nigeria.  His flight arrangement was t

What will be missed about me?

When life happens, when I lose contact with someone, when I am absent temporarily, when I get transferred or mutually part ways with someone, what will be missed about me?  This is truly a thought-provoking question, shey?馃 If sincerely you can't answer this within 5 mins, stay with me, because you see my dear, you are not alone as there are about 1 billion people in the world who can't supply answer to this too within 5mins. To answer this question, you will need to know what you bring to the table EVERYTIME.  The starting point in this case is to know what is unique about you. How authentic and genuine are you when you meet people or join a team?  Personally, I have taken time to study myself well enough so that I am sure what I bring to every team and everyone I meet. I don't like saying that I am the best when describing my person. To say I am the best is to prompt the mind to draw comparison but I prefer to say that I am very authentic, loyal, creative, caring, truly

If you are getting married soon, read this for your own good.  A Wedding reception is the part of the ceremony that shows how much of preparation went into the planning of the wedding by the couple. It is where people fight over food, where phones and properties are stolen, where the music band in their quest to get more money will sing for total strangers who is spraying them money at the time the couple are dancing in, where different groups will seek to be recognized or else they won't show love and so on.  If you are not careful as the couple, your wedding reception will be one that you won't like to remember. Having served as the MC at wedding receptions in different parts, I can give you certain counsels that can help you.  1. For the planning of your wedding reception especially, if you can, engage an event planner to help you think, ask questions, tell the person what you want from planning to execution.  Don't also give all the power to the event planner.
