Humanity in Business Series: Tomorrow Has Come

ON this post, I begin what I have termed ‘Humanity in Business Series’ to remind us that having said and done all, life offers more than what many pursue. On the 18^th of September, 2014, my very first broadcast of The Next Level with Chukwuemeka, I shared a thought inspired by my friend Victor Nwokocha. It is the true story of Ifeanyi, Victor and myself.

There Is A Miracle In Your Work

THERE is a much celebrated story in Nigeria and beyond, and rightly too, of Olajumoke Orisaguna, the former bread hawker turned super star. Is it not interesting to note that, ‘There is a Miracle in Your Work’? Why are many people blind to this fact?

It might seem strange to explain how an ‘ordinary oni buredi (meaning bread seller) walking the streets of Lagos becomes oni goldi (meaning wealthy individual)’ and a global icon all within about one week? There must be a miracle somewhere.  

Are You Ageless? - Important Life and Business Lessons

FOR a while, my two beautiful girls have been asking me of my age. In a discussion with them, ‘Glorious God’ by Elijah Oyelade, the popular Nigerian worship leader, was playing in the background. After a while, the song referred to God as ‘ageless’. My curious girls immediately asked what ‘ageless’ means. I explained that it means someone that no one knows his age, like God. One of them retorted, ‘Just like you Dad, you are ageless, we don’t know your age'. I completely cracked up. Me ageless? I am not God.  I couldn’t hold my laughter.

Important Life Lesson; Define and Care For What Matters

ON this post, I share a story whose moral is quite noteworthy. Simply put, ‘Define and Care For What Matters’. Perhaps the most important task in our daily pursuits is getting our priorities right. The original piece is titled ‘I Want To Be A TV’.

A primary school teacher asked her pupils to write an essay on ”A wish you want from God?" At the end of the day, the teacher collected all the essays given by her pupils. She took them to her house, sat down and started marking.
