ON the previous post, I started a series that asked if we are being socially deceived? I listed the six stages of social deception and why one must avoid continuous exposure to anything one is not interested in partaking in. I will conclude this topic in this post. Meanwhile, if there is a thing you have to expose yourself to, it is without a doubt The Next Level with Chukwuemeka International Self-Discovery and Financial Empowerment Conference coming up on the 18^th and 19^th November 2015 in Abuja, Nigeria. You are guaranteed to see measurable changes in your life and business. Among many tested speakers, Joseph Benjamin, MTN Project Fame Presenter and one of Nollywood’s aces will be in attendance. You must hear his story and strategies to success. It’s really intriguing. We also have Bismark Tay, one of Africa’s foremost life coaches and a world ambassador. This is a must attend conference. Remember to register to attend.

Are We Being Socially Deceived?

I came across this piece from Kwame, a guy we both belong to the same group. It is both eye-opening and revealing. It is called The Six Stages of Social Deception. This is a must read.

Social Deception very often is a process by which wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong. It’s a complete paradigm shift of opinions, standards and morals that is achieved softly, subtly and often takes a generation to entrench into society. Those who engineer it are very deliberate and structured in their approach. 

Secrets To Taking Life Risks

RECENTLY, on my Facebook page, I offered free recharge or top up cards to my Nigerian friends on Facebook. It was just a way of keeping tab on my friends on a media that claims to be social but many a time is far from what it professes. I simply asked my friends to post on my Facebook wall indicating their interest in the freebie. There was no gimmicks, or tricks or hidden anything anywhere whatsoever. I wasn’t marketing or selling anything to anyone, neither was I bribing anyone for today or tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting anything in return from any friend. The only thing I required of my Nigerian Facebook friends was to indicate interest by saying so on my Facebook wall. Say it, and get it. It was that simple. Of course a lot of my friends could not understand why I would just give away recharge cards for no reason.

Who Loves You, Unconditionally?

I want to ask you a very probing question. Who loves you, unconditionally? This question is informed by a post I read on Facebook. The post reads and I quote, “Don’t be deceived, most people don’t love you as they claim. They just love what you can do for them. The day you stop or are unable to continue that which you do for them, their supposed and professed love ends.”

When Is Tomorrow?

FLYING from London to Abuja, I had taken a book I wanted to finish reading in-flight. For some reasons, I was too tired to read. I therefore decided to switch on the in-flight entertainment to watch movies, and hopefully sleep. No I didn’t want to sleep. I bought a late ticket for this trip and therefore paid heavily for it. To compensate myself, I promised myself not to sleep so I don’t miss out when the food is served. Don’t blame me, it’s called value for money, after all 'every little helps'.

Do You Know How to Ask the Right Questions?

IN your quest for the good life, in your pursuit of happiness, success and peace of mind, are you clear and resolved on what you really want? This might sound trite, but truth be told, a lot of us have an idea of what we want but are not totally clear about it. Of course this has wider implications. We ask the wrong questions for instance and get the wrong answers. Rather than focus, we disperse energies and efforts. We make imprecise and many times displaced demands on life, and then accuse life of being unfair. I can go on and on.
