TO MAKE NIGERIA BETTER, WE MUST REACH OUT TO POOR COMMUNITIES

-

I don't take the opportunities that I have been given for granted. My parents were middle class but they were self-made, so they trained us to value the privileges we had. As I have gotten older, I have become more conscious of my society and I try to help my community in the little way I can. 
If you are in a position to help your fellow Nigerian, I think you should because in our country today, many people still struggle to feed themselves daily. Also, many low-income families cannot afford quality training for their kids and have to settle for government schools that lack the required facilities for learning.
However, I urge you to support low-income families with your money, skill or time. I particularly believe that quality education is one of the sure ways to get out of poverty. So, sponsor a child's learning. Your help could be the very thing that determines whether a child becomes a nuisance to the society or a responsible citizen. 



 Dr. Paul's Anejodo's story exemplifies the power we have to change the lives of others for the better; the story went viral a few years ago. The young Paul was found sitting underneath a tree with a severe leg ulcer and a family decided to help him to get proper medical treatment. He was later adopted by the same family and given a good education. Today, he is a medical doctor. 


My point is that we have the power to improve Nigeria if we decide to support low-income families particularly by educating their young ones. 
Oprah once said, "money is worth nothing if it doesn't give you the opportunity to love more."

HOW TO USE PROTOTYPING TO ACHIEVE YOUR BIGGEST DREAMS

-

Prototyping is about executing your ideas by producing samples for testing. You then apply whatever results you get from testing to produce an updated prototype or version which would go through a new cycle of testing and adjustments. You might need to go through several cycles before you achieve a product good enough for marketing. I know prototyping is synonymous with the tech industry but it's actually a business-wide principle.  We all have big dreams. But to achieve your dreams, you must take action; and prototyping is like taking baby steps. Even if you fail, you will learn your lessons and try again. For example, I have had so many blogs that are no longer in existence today. But the truth is that each new blog is an improvement on the last unsuccessful one. In the last few years of prototyping as a blogger, I have improved my writing style and learned about niche blogging.    Whatever your dreams are, start working on them. Your first result does not need to be pe...

THESE FIVE YOUTUBE CHANNELS HAVE THE BEST CONTENT ON PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

When it comes to learning, I think  audio-visuals are just as important as print media. I use Youtube mainly for entertainment but I know it's also a fantastic platform for learning. Here are my five go-to Youtube channels for all things relating to personal development  1. School of Life: This channel shares content bordering on maturing emotionally, developing relationships, dealing with anxiety issues, and so on.  It's basically cartoon illustrated content with a voice-over. Also, what's being shared is so insightful that I'm sure it's based on a lot of literature research.  2. Matt D'Avella:   Actually, in a world where so many motivational speakers tell us, "you just have to do it...remember why you started... (rolls eyes). It's always refreshing to find someone who just says calm down.  I love Matt's content because it is witty and relatable. He focuses on minimalism and uses that to teach important lessons on work, family, and lifestyle.  3. ...

This is What I have Learned Episode 2

Hello, I believe journaling is a brilliant way to articulate your thoughts. It is good for improving your problem-solving abilities. Everyday life teaches us lessons and I know that if we can articulate those lessons we will be able to lead better lives. Here are a few of the things I learned today. 1. Corruption is a big issue in Nigeria. And it is everywhere, not just in government. In order to deal with corruption, one has to be strategic. Since corruption in Nigeria is so perverse, you can be overwhelmed. I don't know how to fight corruption yet. But what I know for sure is that it might be dumb to wage war on corruption without the knowledge about how to defeat it. you will be crushed. 2. You should not just consume social media, you should also contribute to the market. Be a content producer. 3. I listened to Oprah on my commute to work this morning. I think listening to a podcast or an audiobook sets you up for a better day. 4. Don't let your lack of faith ...
