Are the Nigerian youth Ready For Leadership? John W. Gardner, an American activist and recipient of the 1964 Presidential Medal of Freedom defined leadership as the process of persuasion by which an individual induces a group to pursue objectives held by the leader and the followers. Kevin Kruse, an American Professor of History defined leadership as a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards achieving a goal. With these definitions, the question 'Are Nigerian Youths Ready For Leadership?' can thus be broken down, reconstructed and put as 'Are Nigerian youths ready to accomplish tasks through social influence? Are Nigerian youths ready to pursue and bring about the realization of political goals in the country?' My answer is yes, they are ready. In recent times, Nigerian youths have demonstrated great influence in various sectors of the country, ranging from agriculture to technology to industry and to even commerce. In technology, the...

Nothing annoys me more than the loss of time. When I feel like I’m wasting my time on useless activities, doing meaningless things, or when I’m spending time with negative people, I get frustrated. When it comes to time, I agree with what Darwin once said: “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” But I’ve found that an obsession with time can put unnecessary pressure on yourself. I see it a lot with ambitious people—anyone who wants to get the most out of life. They feel like they have to use every single minute of life. Things have to happen: Quick, quick, now, now. You have to keep pounding forward like a freight train that stops for nothing. It’s great that you want to achieve a lot, and live a life of contribution, but does that mean it has to happen NOW? But there’s a fine line between understanding the value of time, and being impatient. One of my mentors is an entrepreneur in his late forties. When I recently told him I...

The country is one with so many scenarios to behold. The rate of drama kings and queens in the country is entertainingly appalling. There is an urgent need around the world for we all to return to our senses and reverence God. People tend to give out different kind of reason to support their doings and if enough emotion is attached to it, it tends to communicate truth to the spectators. The world economy may come back alive but can our lives do the same? There are so many Egungun who has to be very careful because of the express ahead of them. Presently, one express the world is facing is the spread of the novel Covid-19 which seems to be a means of keeping people clean and making sure people follow rules. The human is very hard to deal with, with all of their hard-headed behavior and heartless thinking maybe one of the reason why God once again decide to revisit the earth. Nigerians have always had it hard with rules. Traffic rules, queue rules, legal rules, biblical rules and s...

It’s advisable to invest into business because saving money can’t bring you profit it’s better to make research and embark on a business Every reasonable person wants poverty under his feet. But so many people have found this desire unachievable. This reason is because most people lack the fundamental knowledge of how money works. Expert would tell you to save. However, I have been able to discover from my experience and findings that no one gets rich by saving. While growing up, I was taught by the society and even school that I should be prudent with my tiny income and save more than I spend. I took this advice and ran with it. I saved and saved until irrevocable emergency came and ate up my savings The money you save does not increase. It neither yield profit nor brings dividend. If you save it in bank, you directly or indirectly enrich other people who will never be grateful to you. To save it at home is even worst, you risk been tempted to spend it or been robbed. Saved mo...

If you ever thought it’s just women who gossip and men don’t, you’re so wrong. Men gossip as well. What do you think we do when we link up with our friends for a few drinks? lol. Some of us hate to admit it, but it’s the truth. Call it ‘gisting’ or ‘discussing’, it’s all talk, and it’s no different from gossiping.  So here are the 6 commonest topics guys like to discuss.   1. MONEY What person is there on earth who doesn’t talk about it? Women certainly do, and so do men. The broke guys talk about getting it while the rich folks talk about getting more of it. Discussion may come in form of a business idea/ opportunity, but you’ll definitely hear figures being mentioned when guys come together. 2. WOMEN When guys come together, they’re almost certain to talk about a woman or more. Either they’re assessing the hottest female(s) in the bar (or wherever they find themselves) or they’re talking about some chick who has been pestering them (sometimes, this is just a lie...

We dwell in a world where hip and hop is the dominant style and tradition. The upcoming creative minded men tends to get themselves acquainted with all of the trappings of the craft; trying to change their accent, looks and genre in order to fit in. If you can't beat them you join them so they say, but the creative macho will maintain the monopoly board, after all a road less traveled by so they say made all the difference. People do patronize who people do patronize, as a young macho trying to do start something anew may drive you yourself crazy, should you not be big enough, have the financial capacity to maintain the balance, life may tend to keep you in the balance. The relentless spirit of the human and our ability to generate innovations made us what we are today. But why is it that once a new idea is created people tends to show some certain kind of distaste for whatever is made out of it? It is the way of the world! Different approaches to art and life is a necessary one,...
