I read a couple of interesting articles and mails today. I will
like to share some of them here. They really helped me a lot
to see things differently. There’s so much we can learn and I
highlighted a few lines.

“That is the power of suggestion. We naturally move toward
whatever we focus our attention on. The more you think about
something, the stronger it takes hold of you.” Continue Reading »

Do you know any better way to describe the current events on the Nigerian Stock Exchange?
I don’t. I don’t know of any more graphical way to paint the picture of what is going on in the
Nigerian Stock Market right now! I think Michael Jackson got the phrase right, “there is blood
on the dance floor”. Reading the lyrics of that song in detail, it even amazes me that the girl that
spilled the blood was a one night stand Now parallel that with being a speculator rather than
a long term investor in today’s market. If you look at it that critically, you might see Michael as
a prophet :). You come to the dance floor to enjoy, to let you hairs down, to celebrate… and
you are about getting into the groove, and you see a splash of blood, you are shocked and
everybody panics, is this a drink, ketchup or someone’s blood? You look around to see the
source, and then the whole club spots it all at once, there is blood on the dance floor, and the
blood, is yours!

It wouldn’t amaze any avid stock market investor now, that people have started committing
suicide. People have lost millions, some billions in this “market correction”, and if it was only
money that was lost, one might not be so bothered. The average person has already lost
about 50% of his capital in this craziness, and the end is yet to come. Many who have a normal
penchant for taking higher risks, by using the bank’s margin facilities in this market, are crying -
sorry, weeping! Week after week, I have studied different opinions on what was causing the
land slide of share prices and where hope lies, and honestly it got to the point where I figured
it all out. I not only figured it out I figured out what to do. I’m sure you are wondering what
exactly that is?…Read on. Continue Reading »

I went out for a meeting yesterday with two of my colleagues.
We were to meet with a company to enlighten them on Shape
Cd. A product who many believe and I am sure will raise the
bar in advertising and give companies a unique edge over others
in their industry. There was light traffic on the way  so we had the
opportunity to talk about a number of things.

As we drove along, we saw a very large bill board that caught
our attention and became a subject of discussion. It was a bank
advert that had an elderly man, a woman about the same age
apparently his wife and their son. The young man was putting
on an academic gown., which meant he was matriculating. What
actually drew our attention to it was the caption that read; Continue Reading »

I listened to the wordings of a song by R Kelly, “the Storm
is Over” today. I have heard it over and over before, but today
was different. It made me see things differently. There’s nothing
that can be more demoralizing than the absence of hope. When
you are down and faced with challenges, you have two options.
You could give up and stop trying or you could be hopeful and
fight to the end.

Every once in a while, we are faced with negative situations that
tend to hold us back. I want to refer to them as the storms of life.
This could be financial, spiritual, social or moral. Our attitude or
reactions towards these situations determine the outcome. I
choose to stay positive and this always help. Continue Reading »

I’ll start by thanking the Almighty for the opportunity to be
able to see this day and write about it. Today is a unique day
that will go down in history as a turning point in the lives of
many. For others, it will just be another normal day. You can
only feature in a future you can picture, so those who see the
significance of today will feature in the future they can see as
this day ushers in a new beginning.

Today is the 8th day of the 8th month in the year of our Lord
2008. Numbers have significance in everything we do. Today’s
date therefore says a lot to those who know or have an idea of
its significance. Seven means completion. The world was created
in Seven days and God also rested on the seventh day. Seven
plus one gives eight, which therefore means that eight marks a
new beginning. the day after everything is completed. Continue Reading »

Faithfulness to a course, unwavering dedication and support
will ensure that a project is completed. More importantly,
relationships must be taken into consideration in every project.
The place of loyalty and trust in a relationship cannot be over
emphasized.

At every point in time, we look for someone we can confide
in. This could be a member of our family, a friend or a mentor.
We need someone we can trust, someone who is loyal and
will not give us up or turn against us. This one person knows
a lot about us and because of the trust we have in that
person, he is obligated to watch our back and be our trusted
or loyal companion. Continue Reading »
