2018- The Revolution is Here

By -
Found this 2013 email in my sent folder and felt the need to share with a few more thousand people. Its a rant if you say so but hopefully there's some commonsense to share.
Get ready for the revolution, it will hit you whether you're ready or not! Cheers to a successful 2018.

...Sexy breasts and nipples seem more valuable than brains and principles, these days. 

More Nigerians on DSTV watched Big Brother Africa than News. And that's how we got here
That's why you pay for VVIP to a D'Banj (and other entertainment) show but think that a course or book is too expensive



She wants a sound and responsible guy, she's fine, has a wardrobe of designer clothes, but no library or a book of her own
And then, we stumbled upon CNN while searching for MTV, and I ask her if she knows what's happening in Syria, and she asked me, "do you mean cereal"?



I asked my younger brother the last time he read a book, and he said "before the ASUU strike".



And that explains what's happening...


No matter what you have, you are what you value more.
Poor People going NOWHERE value entertainment, people growing RICH value EDUCATION.     

NB: Education is not merely about going to school



America is the entertainment capital of the world, with trillions of dollars in debt. China is the industrial capital of the world with the fastest growing economy. America or China, which is the model?



We can get it right: i believe ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD and wisdom 

NB: Wisdom is primarily residual in books. Seek knowledge, Use it!
Trust me, there's a huge potential here (Nigeria), even in a growing country of 170+ million people managed by mediocre and leaders of nuisance value, if ONLY you and your team can stand out, we can go further ahead, we can build minds, businesses, people and brands.

Empty your pocket in your brain and future

The revolution is here. Ride on it before it rides on you!

Social Media: Good or Bad???

SOCIAL MEDIA:  Good or Bad? I escorted a friend to meet a date but at some point i was upset with him. He claimed he couldn't wait to meet her and yet while we were there (even when i left them alone) , he was spending more time pressing his phone and checking social media.  With the way we use social media today, one can’t help wondering how humans communicated before it or what we will do without it. If you agree with this thought especially the latter, then you’re probably already addicted to social media. With the development of technology over the years came the advent information technology, the internet and web 2.0 which brought about innovations in human interactions and communications like the new media and social networking (Creeber & Martin, 2009) . Now all aspects of human endeavour can be significantly influenced by social media such as politics, business, and religion. Some argue that social media has more negative influence than positive, however, it’s wor

THE BANKING HALL

...ibadan, Nigeria, 14.20hrs. The sun was shining with a vengeance that could only mean it had a misunderstanding with the clouds or some galaxial sky-mate   that fateful Friday afternoon. I managed to catch a bike eventually, only to get stuck in traffic moments later. Why? The Muslims were praying, their space wasn’t enough and then they blocked the entire market road with their mats. I was livid. Whatever happened to fundamental human rights! Blocking an entire ever-busy thoroughfare in the 21 st Century?...hmmm!        #i reserved my comments, for safety reasons# Minutes later, I was grateful to feel the cool breeze as i entered my bank with one mission, collect my ATM card & escape. The queue was discouraging but envisaged. It got to my turn (after ages on my feet) only to be told by the Customer Service Personnel (most comported i’ve ever met) that my card was being ‘Pouched’ from Lagos ...#my eyes grew bigger# ...after a cash deduction & application for its transfer

mY SuIcIdE NoTe

mY SuIcIdE nOtE The thoughts had been recurrent through the week. I imagined myself leaving a final note behind, but would I write? Other thoughts crept in… I thought to myself, “is it Normal? Is it Christian? Who can I tell of these strange thoughts? Who would understand that I can’t even a place a finger on what is really gone wrong? Is it my job, family, friends, fiends, my faith, my fate, my fears….what exactly? ” Suicide as described by kenea (a lawyer friend), is cowardice; perhaps he was right! {Thank God he  didn’t possessX-men (mutants) skills of mind reading, else I would have been found out} Some folk may think my life is a fairy tale, but then my nightmares were unending. One of my friends rightly analyzed me as 'managing perception'. If you knew me, have met me, or seen my boisterous self, bewilderment of my recent thoughts will panic you. But why would a seeming ‘perfect’ me be depressed I ask? Well, Google was a little help…depression & suicide t
