  • I would rather have 10% of a watermelon than 100% of a grape; For me, it means being open to opportunities that may not offer complete control but can lead to significant benefits, It reminds me to prioritize value and potential over ownership or control. In my life, I can apply this by seeking partnerships or collaborations that can help me grow professionally or personally.

    In business, this suggests that sometimes it's better to focus on high-value clients or projects, even if it means sharing the revenue or credit. It encourages us to think strategically about partnerships, investments, or joint ventures that can drive growth. By applying this mindset, our business can prioritize opportunities that offer the greatest returns and potential for expansion.

    For Investment Insight, as an investor, this reminds me to look for opportunities with high growth potential, even if it means taking a smaller stake.It encourages me to diversify my portfolio and prioritize investments that can yield significant returns. By applying this principle, I can make more informed investment decisions that align with my financial goals.

    Billionaires seek investments or ventures with significant potential for expansion and returns, they often partner with others to leverage resources, expertise, and networks, even if it means sharing ownership or profits. Billionaires may sacrifice control or ownership to gain access to valuable assets, markets, or talent, they focus on long-term growth and wealth creation, rather than short-term gains.

  • *Life is a circle of* *CONTRIBUTIONS:*

    *I* Contribute.
    *You* Contribute.
    *We* Contribute.
    *They* Contribute
    When any party ceases to Contribute, the circle will be broken and leakages will be discovered.

    *Whatever you are enjoying today, is someone else's Contribution.*
    Whatever you are lacking today, is because someone who supposed to Contribute didn't.

    Don't be that person, who because he refuses to Contribute, causes leakages to the circle.
    *Every person on earth is here to Contribute to make the world a better place.*

    Contribution is the essence of living.
    You can Contribute anything useful.
    *You can Contribute in*
    knowledge,
    in understanding,
    in wisdom,
    in love,
    in peace,
    in resources, and
    in finances.

    *Also, you can Contribute*
    physically,
    spiritually,
    intellectually,
    financially,
    morally etc.

    When you Contribute, people will eat,
    *when people Contribute, you will eat*.

    *ASK YOURSELF*:
    What is my Contribution in that place that I am?
    *What have you Contributed to make progress?*
    What is lacking as a result of your refusal to Contribute?
    What is the way forward?

    *The answer explains the scarcity or abundance in that place.*


    *YOUR PRESENCE IS IRRELEVANT if you have nothing to Contribute.*

    Even Nature Contribute.
    - *CONTRIBUTION is the way to go*-
    * In the *Mosque/Church,*
    Contribute...
    * In your workplace, where you earn your daily living, Contribute...
    * In the school e.g. Old boys\girls.
    * Contribute...
    * In the *house,* Contribute...
    * In the market, Contribute...
    * In the *society*, Contribute...
    * In the village, Contribute...
    * In the community, Contribute...
    * In the *family,* Contribute...
    * In your street, Contribute...
    * In your Fellowship or Association Contribute.
    Wherever you find yourself, contribute for impact.
    Everywhere, try to Contribute...


    *WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE:*
    Contribute in love...
    Instead of complaining,
    Contribute.
    Instead of destructive criticism,
    Contribute.
    Instead of being embittered,
    Contribute.
    Instead of watching,

    Contribution is the right use of energy...
    *Nobody destroys where he has contributed to build.*

    THE WORLD WILL BE WORTH LIVING, IF EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES MEANINGFULLY.

    *START CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY NOW!!!*

  • We achieve more if we join our minds positively towards a common goal.

    Note : No contribution is destructive until it is perceived so. In a team, the ability to allow everyone express their view makes a healthy conversation, but as a great leader, the ability to patiently take in all aspect of the conversation and drive the right decision is a skill for every good leader. #Team E. @Team E.

  • "For there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud…" – Job 14:7-9

    This image is a simple but profound illustration.

    A mango tree, cut down—whether by nature or human hands—still bears fruit. Why? Because its roots are still in the ground.

    In the same way, as long as you are breathing, there is hope. You can rise again. You can start over. You can still produce fruit.

    Life may cut you down. Circumstances may try to silence your growth. But don’t forget this truth:
    You are not done yet.

    Stay rooted. Stay hopeful. You will outgrow your situation.

    Happy Palm Sunday.
    A day that reminds us of humble beginnings and triumphant endings.

  • "When did you start putting on makeup?" Chisom asked, watching her roommate struggle to apply mascara.

    "Lately," Danielle replied, still focused on the mirror.

    "I don't know what this is, but you have to stop it," Chisom said, getting out of bed. She slipped into her fluffy pink slippers and walked into the bathroom.

    "Are you jealous of me?" Danielle shouted after her.

    Chisom burst into laughter.

    A few minutes later, she came out, wiping her face with a towel. Standing akimbo, she looked at her roommate, who now resembled a runaway clown.

    "Why would I be jealous of you?"

    "Then why are you opposing my choice of appearance?" Danielle asked, trying to fix her hair.

    "You're changing yourself to fit into that flashy group you joined last week. You're trying to please them, but you're displeasing yourself. In the end, you'll only confuse yourself," Chisom said, climbing back into bed.

    Danielle pouted, silently reflecting on what Chisom had just said.

    ---

    Have you ever found yourself doing things you normally wouldn’t, just to fit in or impress others?

    Maybe you’ve compromised your values or changed your appearance — not because you wanted to, but because you were afraid of being left out.

    Here’s the truth:

    People-pleasers often try to satisfy everyone but end up pleasing no one. The people you're trying so hard to impress may never be satisfied — and worse, they might even see you as fake. At the end of the day, you lose yourself.

    So don't live to please people.

    Be true to yourself. That’s where real confidence lies.

  • "You're pregnant?" Abigail whispered causing several heads to stare at the table where they both sat. The librarian who was few inches away from them gave the hush sign.
    “Sorry,” Abigail muttered then lowering her voice she said to Gladys.
    "So... who's the father?"

    Gladys swallowed hard “That’s the problem. I don’t even know.”
    Abigail gave her a disgusted stare “So you were sleeping around?”
    “No. Yes. I don’t know,” she answered, her voice shaking.
    She lowered her head and began to sob.

    “My parents will kill me if they find out. I’m confused. I don’t know what to do.”
    Abigail sighed and rubbed her back. “It’s okay, Gladys. Stop crying because crying won’t change anything.”
    “So what do I do now?”
    Abigail hesitated, then whispered, “Well… you could abort it.”
    “That’s absurd,” Gladys replied.
    “Well… do what you want. But that’s the only thing I can suggest.”

    _______
    Out of fear? Or simply looking for a solution Gladys took the advice.

    She aborted the baby.

    But she ended up with a damaged womb.
    A future she didn’t plan and a pain she didn’t pray for.

    ________
    This is fictional story however it’s a reflection of what many girls go through.
    They make a mistake—and instead of seeking help, they cover it with another one.

    Sexual immorality is still wrong—no matter how glamorous it looks.
    No matter how many people normalize it.
    No matter how curious you are.
    And no, abortion isn’t “freedom”—it’s a deeper wound.

    God’s word says:
    “Flee youthful lusts…” — 2 Timothy 2:22

  • INTERNET AND THE EMERGING ZOMBIE GENERATION IN NIGERIA.

    JAMB PERFORMANCE BY NIGERIAN STUDENTS SINCE 2007..

    In 2007 -. 66% of NGR students scored 200 and above..

    in 2008 - 63% scored 200 and above

    2010 - 41% scored 200 and above..

    2015 - 30% scored 200 and above...

    2019 -. 24% scored 200 and above...

    2023 - 23% scored 200 and above...

    2025 - 22% scored 200 and above...

    by 2035 if nothing is done to arrest this worrying decline, This yahoo and jenzzy generation will call for the ending of JAMB...

    By 2050, university entry criteria will just be anyone who can spell his father's name...

    most of this kids who fail JAMB and still get higher institution admission behave like kids who didn't attend primary school..

    Education standard in NGR is in a state of coma ...
    if nothing is done urgent.... it would be permanently buried....
    Let’s stop lying.

    *FUTURES CRUSHED. A NATION EXPOSED.*

    - JAMB 2025 RESULT IS A DISASTER*

    The 2025 JAMB results are here. A disaster. OVER 1.5 MILLION STUDENTS SCORED BELOW 200.

    *WE ALL FAILED.*

    PARENTS: YOU RAISED FRAUDS, NOT CHILDREN

    You paid for “SPECIAL CENTRES” to cheat WAEC.
    You cared more about BRAGGING RIGHTS THAN BEDTIME STORIES.
    You taught your child to CUT CORNERS, NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS.
    Now JAMB strips off the mask, and they drown.
    What did you expect?
    You wanted SHORTCUTS, NOT KNOWLEDGE.
    Your child can’t think, but they know how to cheat. IS THIS PRIDE?

    *DEAR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS, YOU SOLD SOULS FOR PROFIT*

    School owners, you hired teachers who couldn’t spell “education.”
    Classrooms became TRADING FLOORS.

    Teachers, you leaked exams, whispered answers, and called it “help.”

    You had one job: TO BUILD MINDS. Instead, YOU BUILT LIARS.

    Your students can’t write a sentence, but they know how to bypass integrity.
    SHAME ON YOU.


    *DEAR STUDENTS: YOU CHOSE EASY OVER EXCELLENCE*

    TikTok over textbooks. Parties over past questions.

    You mocked the “bookworms,” then prayed for miracles.

    You thought JAMB would “sort itself.” Now reality hits: LIFE DOESN’T FORWARD ANSWERS IN A WHATSAPP GROUP.

    You can afford to buy data, and get iPhones, but CAN'T BUY TEXTBOOKS OR SERIOUSNESS.

    You gambled with your future. WAKE UP.


    *TO OUR GOVERNMENT, YOU WATCHED THE FIRE BURN*

    You UNDERFUNDED SCHOOLS UNTIL ROOFS CAVED IN.

    You let UNQUALIFIED TEACHERS flood classrooms.

    You ignored “MIRACLE CENTRES” because palms were greased.

    Where are the POLICIES? THE OVERSIGHT? THE URGENCY?

    You talk about “tomorrow’s leaders” while STRANGLING THE SCHOOLS meant to shape them.


    *THIS IS OUR COLLECTIVE SHAME.*

    *PICTURE THIS:*
    Ten years from now, your child is the ENGINEER WHO BUILDS COLLAPSING BRIDGES,
    The DOCTOR WHO KILLS PATIENTS,
    The LEADER WHO STEALS BILLIONS.

    IS THIS THE FUTURE YOU WANT?

    We built this with:

    1. Parents who VALUED TROPHIES OVER TRUTH,
    2. Schools that SOLD CERTIFICATES, NOT CHARACTER,
    3. Students who TRADED GRIT FOR GOSSIP,
    4. And a government that LOOKED AWAY AND FAILED TO ACT.

    It is nearly impossible for anyone who scored B’s & A’s in their WAEC WITHOUT MALPRACTICE to score below 200 in JAMB.

    *SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!*

  • 4 months after I was born, my mom went back to University to get her degree. I'm her third child.

    She left me and my siblings with our Dad and paternal grandma and came home only weekends for three years until she finished her degree. She left 3 under-5 and went to pursue her career.

    At 28, she was doing her NYSC and pregnant with her 4th child.
    At 40, she already had her master's degree.

    She has been a civil servant since 1993.

    Now, at 61, she is at the peak of her career. A level 17 officer, Permanent Secretary grade.
    (Edit - Note: in 2023, Delta State increased retirement age from 60 to 65.)

    My aunty who was my mother's secondary mate and got married same year my mother got married, didn't continue with her education like my mom did. She had three children and tried to go back in her 40s when her last child was in secondary school, but she was only able to acquire tc2 (or whatever they call it).

    At the long run.
    My mom raised four successful biological children.
    My aunty raised three successful biological children.

    No, my aunty's children did NOT turn out better just because she gave up career and dreams to raise them.

    If you are measuring success based on wealth and quality and level of education, we are far ahead.

    There are no studies, research or statistics that indicate that children of stay-at-home mothers do better.

    If I could be asked to choose between an illiterate mother who stayed at home throughout my childhood and gave up career just to watch me VERSUS my mother who is a top/senior civil servant at the peak of her career, a boss in the office and boss at home, I would DEFINITELY choose the latter, and I'm glad that the latter is my reality.

    My father told me that he had opportunity to travel to the US or UK when I was just four. He was to travel there for research and enroute into becoming a university lecturer/professor. But he turned down the opportunity because he wanted to be there to watch his children grow every minute.

    Do you know what I told him?
    I told him that he should have gone. Some of my siblings also told him he should have gone. Imagine the children he stayed for telling him that he should have gone.
    My father's colleague who also got same offer went and came back for his family one year later. So, I told my father that leaving his family for a year or two would have been a worthwhile sacrifice to pay for a better future. He should have gone and come back for us a year or two later.

    My father was a very successful man, more educated than my mother and also got to the peak of his career, but not half as successful as he would have been if he had taken some risks, including leaving his children for a year or two.

    Why am I writing all these?

    For those women who abandon their dreams, careers and aspirations because of their children.
    Someday, your children who you abandoned your career for will ask you WHY? They will tell you that you should have pursued your career.

    Like I said, my father sacrificed career progression for us his children.
    My mother did NOT sacrifice career pursuit for anybody.
    While I understand the sacrifice my father made, as a grown adult, I still think my mother made the better choice.

    So, my dear women/mothers, I can tell you that at the long run, your children would be most proud of you if you pursue your career and achieve great career heights.

    I went back to full-time studies January to December 2024. I had my daughter in-between in April 2024. I got an extra degree and with that, I'm applying for jobs and negotiating salaries more than twice my salary in my last job.

    It wasn't easy doing that while nursing a baby, but I did it.

    My children would grow up seeing a strong mommy who didn't abandon her dreams. I want my daughter to know that she should never abandon her dream or chosen career for any reason or anyone.

    I don't want my children to ask me WHY?

    It's not easy combining academic/career and family. But nothing good comes too easily. Just do your best within your power and the opportunity and resources available to you.

    4 months after I was born, my mom went back to University to get her degree. I'm her third child. She left me and my siblings with our Dad and paternal grandma and came home only weekends for three years until she finished her degree. She left 3 under-5 and went to pursue her career. At 28, she was doing her NYSC and pregnant with her 4th child. At 40, she already had her master's degree. She has been a civil servant since 1993. Now, at 61, she is at the peak of her career. A level 17 officer, Permanent Secretary grade. (Edit - Note: in 2023, Delta State increased retirement age from 60 to 65.) My aunty who was my mother's secondary mate and got married same year my mother got married, didn't continue with her education like my mom did. She had three children and tried to go back in her 40s when her last child was in secondary school, but she was only able to acquire tc2 (or whatever they call it). At the long run. My mom raised four successful biological children. My aunty raised three successful biological children. No, my aunty's children did NOT turn out better just because she gave up career and dreams to raise them. If you are measuring success based on wealth and quality and level of education, we are far ahead. There are no studies, research or statistics that indicate that children of stay-at-home mothers do better. If I could be asked to choose between an illiterate mother who stayed at home throughout my childhood and gave up career just to watch me VERSUS my mother who is a top/senior civil servant at the peak of her career, a boss in the office and boss at home, I would DEFINITELY choose the latter, and I'm glad that the latter is my reality. My father told me that he had opportunity to travel to the US or UK when I was just four. He was to travel there for research and enroute into becoming a university lecturer/professor. But he turned down the opportunity because he wanted to be there to watch his children grow every minute. Do you know what I told him? I told him that he should have gone. Some of my siblings also told him he should have gone. Imagine the children he stayed for telling him that he should have gone. My father's colleague who also got same offer went and came back for his family one year later. So, I told my father that leaving his family for a year or two would have been a worthwhile sacrifice to pay for a better future. He should have gone and come back for us a year or two later.
