Riches and wealth are sometimes used interchangeably but the two don’t have an exact meaning. To be rich means to have a lot of possessions and material wealth but to…

I’m emotional doing this but I owe you, Harry, if only to put a closure to my long journey with you in so short a time. My meeting with you…

Assumption is a tool in problem solving. Ask mathematicians. In real life, assumption can help you to establish the truth but untested assumption can ruin your relationship with people. If…

“Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do”. This is an excerpt from Steve Jobs’ epoch making speech to the staff of Apple some years back during the “Think different” campaign. Unarguably, Apple products have changed the world. Many times we think about the future as if it is far away but more often, the future comes knocking on our door before we know it. You can actually bring the future closer by the action you take today, particularly if you still have all the time to make a choice and chart a course for yourself.

Every man likes affirmation. No man enjoys criticism but again, any man whose views go unchallenged all the time should watch his back. It is not an evidence of bravery, neither does it pass for unmatched wisdom for you to have opinion that is always right. If you get keep getting a yes to all you say, chances are that you have been isolated to your delusion that you know it all. A fool is better than a wise man who takes pride in being right all the time.

This is the third time I am asking this question but the more I ask, the more innocent lives are lost to avoidable deaths. We talk about death casually but I cannot but keep asking - what is the worth of an average Nigerian? Another nine (9) lives were lost in cold blood at Ojuelegba, Lagos penultimate Sunday. Yes, nine innocent lives were terminated by a fallen container in a system that keeps talking about the problem but does so little to solve the problem.

Yes, nine innocent lives were terminated by a fallen container in a system that keeps talking about the problem but does so little to solve the problem. Even to non-Nigerians, Ojuelegba is a renown centre, not only in Lagos but in Nigeria. Thanks to the late king of Afro Beats, the Abami Eda himself, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, when he sang 🎼for Ojuelegba 2x, moto dey come from east, moto dey come from west, moto dey come from north, moto dey come from south🎼

If you tell me not to worry when I tend to, I will understand. It is a wise counsel because worry does not solve any problem but it is not easy not to worry when there is cause to worry. If you are not the one wearing the shoe, don’t say you know where it pinches. Unfriendly as it sounds, no mortal can do without any problem. It is not a bad wish but the reality of life. I have a lighter way of describing problem to lessen the weight. I like to call it challenge to make it look easily surmountable.

It is not a bad thing for a person to be sad but it is a bad thing to be a sad person. The two are not the same. One is a momentary feeling, the other is an attribute. One describes an event but the other describes a person. Not all of us have a smiley face but when you see someone who is perpetually sad for reasons you cannot tie to a particular event and you still cannot find an explanation to indicate that it is just a matter of time, beware.

If I say thank you and thanks don’t mean the same thing you may say I am petty. Though the two are means of expressing gratitude, they both do not convey the same message. One is personalised but the other is not. An average human being has ego. That doesn’t make him egotistic but a massaged ego can be the difference you are looking for when you seek quick results at the most critical moments, even under unusual circumstances.
