THE story of NIGERIA is that of a country with such huge and promising potentials, that has fallen on spells of underdevelopment, underperformance and mismanagement due to mediocre and unimaginative leadership.
On advice for the youths:
You make your choices; then your choices make you. Everything in your life exists because you made a choice about something. Choices are at the root of your results. Don't choose at all and you've made the choice to be the passive receiver of whatever comes your way.
Few people take responsibility for their lives, but many people operate in the world of blaming, finger pointing and expecting someone else -- their father . Mother. Govt, friends, Neighbour , brother. Uncle. Sister or Aunty -- to solve their problems. You can't count on anyone else for your success but you.
Take control of your future!
Separate from everyone else by developing the mindset, habits, actions and persistence it's going to take for personal accountability and control of your future.
Make skills acquisition your No 1 priority : Learn to solve problems: Your soft skills can give you the leading edge. Develop your soft skills :
Jesus Christ, Our Lord and commander in Chief, already set a standard and defines d path-way that we are to follow in other to acquire stupendous wealth and fame.
Acts 10: 38, the Bible says - Jesus Christ went about doing good and adding value to people : Matthew 11:5 . “The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them “.. And because of HIS contributions to humanity, He is still being celebrated 2000 years after he left the world, in d form of man : When you give value ,you must get value in return
Therefore, as children of God, We are to make contributions that must enhance, human existence .
The biggest investment that God almighty has on earth is U & I — therefore, the surest way to wealth & fame is to put your investments in d same portfolio with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by creating products, services, solutions or platforms that are necessary for the continued existence of man or for d enhancement of human conditions
Life is like trade by barter - you bring your rice & I bring my garri - we exchanged— whoever came to the market with nothing, will also return home with nothing
