  THIS IS WHY PEOPLE REMAIN POOR.. Written By Ikoko Princess Last night,  my younger sister who had just finished reading a compilation of Archbishop Margret Idahosa's quote began to ask me questions up and down.."lol" She asked about some of the quotes and I responded quickly because I needed to focus on the task I had at hand.. But she just always had one more question to ask. This time she didn't ask any question, she just said "those rich people that don't want to help the poor will go to hell." "Haba!" I turned to her and asked "how are the rich suppose to help the poor?" In her 8 year old wisdom she said by giving them money and by giving them food.. I then responded by saying " yes, it's okay to help the poor with those things, but just doing that will make the poor to become poorer." She looked at me with surprise on her face like "what??" I began to explain to her that what keeps people poor is their m...

  START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHERE YOU'RE AT Written By Joseph Adeleke, A Personal development Coach I grew up in a small room in gbagada with my parents and siblings. And while growing, my parents tried all they could to inform my siblings and I on the importance of being contented with what we have, especially when we know exactly what we want.  Some weeks ago while having a discussion with my dad, he said "never should you engage in a get-rich-quick scheme" and I figured young people of these days just want to break free from being broke to being rich without working hard for what they want. Biko, let me digress a bit...  So, I was watching a Nollywood movie sometime ago and Jide Kosoko went to an herbalist for money rituals. The herbalist said to him "my friend, you don't have to be hasty.. you will get rich soon" He replied "I said I want money ritual, I can't wait anymore. I am tired of waiting." The argument went on and on till the her...

 DON'T BOTHER READING IF YOU'RE NOT A WRITER Written By Felix Eshiet Many a writers have outrightly proclaimed themselves  savvy doyens and doyennes whose views and nuggets regards writing are iron-clad and fail-proof as long as writing is concerned. That's laudable though but I swore to steer clear from this caliber of writers with every bit of my being.  Indisputably, it is possible to attain mastery to a level that you turn out to be a force to reckon with in your field, but the predominant no-one-does-it-better-than-me syndrome displayed by writers is not just a massive turnoff to many but a matter of doing great disservice to themselves.  Most annoyingly, they feel and claim that their formula,  principles and hacks works for everybody— this indictable fallacy makes me cringe.  Take it or debunk it, there can never be a single route in our journey to stardom... other routes might be decoys or prototypes. Right?  Truth is, what turns out to be the ...

 Written By Chukwuocha Ikedi  HOW TO SELL WITHOUT SELLING Now looking at this title, I'm guessing you smirked, most of you must have heard this at certain masterclasses, some might have passed it and not bothered about it, while the rest are reading this because of sheer curiosity. Whatever brought you here, give me a few minutes of your time especially if you're a vendor, marketer or brand ambassador or wanna be Now it is very important to know that everyone sells, and if you think you're not selling then you're selling your ignorance or the fact that you need to be sold to. When we need a spouse, we sell ourselves using words and appearance, when we want a scholarship we sell our results and ambitions, when we need a promotion we sell our KPI's and milestones etc Selling isn't just about physical goods and services but more, some sell their personality, looks and appearance to get what they want to buy (achieve) There are ways to sell and not appear salesy and...

  THE LAW OF LEAD MAGNET Written By Godstime T Efeni A Must Read For Business Owners and Entrepreneurs Struggling To sell  Online What I am about to share with you is a SECRET I used in making more than 50k in less than 4 days after implementation. This is one SECRET that when you consistently apply, you won't struggle to sell online rather you will FOCUS more on generating LEADS and not scrolling through your Facebook timeline or WhatsApp hoping someone will see your advert and buy from you. WHAT IS A LEAD? A lead simply means a free digital solution which you offer to your ideal clients so they can in turn give you their WhatsApp contact, e-mail or phone number which you can then use to nurture and convert them into paying clients. The above definition will take me at least 2 hours to dissect because there are a lot embedded in that definition but for the sake of time, let me just FOCUS on a few things. 1. DIGITAL SOLUTIONS This simply means you are offering an educative inf...

  UNDERSTANDING DISCIPLINE. Written By Precious Chukwu Prior to this write up, I have written to vehemently establish that abuse is different from discipline by defining both words and itemizing their types. In this piece, discipline is succinctly and copiously  discussed and one of its types( PREVENTIVE DISCIPLINE) is lucidly explicated. I hope you find this educating. Recall that by definition, DISCIPLINE is any measure put in place to forge the right attitude and way of life in children. In other words, discipline is a set of training given to children in view of correcting their wrongs or encouraging their rights. Hence, discipline incorporates reward and punishment. However, the punishment in discipline is not grievous but gracious. Among the three types of discipline highlighted in the previous writing, PREVENTIVE DISCIPLINE is worth considering first. This is because it is key for raising a cultured child. And its rightful application  prepares a child for life rat...
