KNOW THE RULE AND AVOID THE FLAWS OF LIFE PART 3
Every highly productive and
successful person on earth is a criminal-
positive and legitimate criminal. YOU have all it takes to be one of the
positive criminals too; the top is not crowded yet!
CULTISM
Another negative line of
thought is that, every highly productive and successful person is a cultist.
Again, perfectly right! But, what kind of cult? What
is the dictionary definition of cult? A group with similar religious, business,
social philosophy or way of life!
Get this truth today- no genuine
positive or negative cult group would open her arms to welcome an empty barrel,
likely for errands, even for errands! Cultism’s rarely make room for a mental
fool, which is why it is not open for everyone out there on the street.
Most rich people you may know to be involve in cultism joined after
making money or were invited to join after displaying some sort of
extraordinary knowledge and bravery.
A number of positive and negative cult group as we wish to call them now,
are basically a platform conceived to network/associate with fellows who are considered
to be great minds and as such, a readymade help for each other when and where
the need arise.
Though, some, in trying to fight evil become evil themselves, however, the
major reason why most people on their own join ritual and spiritual fraternity groups
is because of security/protection against evil men/women who they perceived may
want to kill them for being successful than they are as already celebrated by African
home videos.
The truth is that, every
highly productive and successful person on earth is either a fellow of the good
or bad cult/network of likeminded groups.
YOU can join the good
network of likeminded groups- how? Your religious center, your school, your
business, trade union and market women association is a group/network too.
These are forum where people
share business lead ideas on how to succeed and or micro-finance funds from the
government or financial institutions and available help for each other in time
of challenges.
Like it or not, online or
offline- especially with the world becoming a global village by the seconds
with the internet, NETWORKING is the gateway to becoming highly productive and
successful; you must either build your own or be a part of a productive and
progressive network, there is no two ways about it!
…WHAT WERE WE REALLY DRIVING AT?
HMMM! YOU CAN OR CAN METOR YOUR CHILD OR STUDENT TO BE
HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE & SUCCESSFUL LIKE MICROSOFT, GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK FOUNDERS
EVEN IN NIGERIA/AFRICA, YES YOU CAN!
However, success is not
measured by becoming as internationally successful like MICROSOFT, GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK founders, but by becoming
excellence and highly productive in your sphere of influence, and that is what
we preach- financial success and stardom is not a yardstick, but a reward!
For detailed simple and
practicable step by step strategy on how to UNLEASH GREATNESS and not
the dragon in YOU or someone
else, grab your/family copy of the triple dose transformational therapy to
become highly productive & successful, authored by no one else, but the
Preventive and Lifestyle Change Doctor himself, our big brother- OKRI John.
A young man of many parts; auto
finish engineer, preventive health guru in his own right, transformational
speaker, author and researcher par excellence, a man who like most youths
traverse the street- up and down, the good, the bad and the ugly and emerged
successful.
Who else is in a better
position to take you through the abc
of how to break free from poverty and youth related excesses than one who has
walked through and conquered it.
OKRI John trade mark is -
‘...I’ve got no reason to be who and where I am today and would be tomorrow if who I was and where I am coming from, my family
background was a ticket. I am nothing but pencil in HIS hand and truly nothing
without HIM!’
OKRI john practice what he
preach; he is a staunch
believer and advocator of limitless possibilities, his maxim is, ‘...there
exist no limit to what YOU can do or be in life irrespective of where you are
coming from- your previous lifestyle, current location-Nationality, colour,
religion and or education. No man is a slave, unproductive or poor unless he
says and accepts it so!’
His life changing materials
would convince you like many others; truly, he has all it takes to lead you
from the sea of crime, militancy…, indolence, mental and financial poverty to
the good land flowing with milk and honey of being highly productive and
successful.
…not just one of those books;
Order
your copies today.
THE
IMPLICATION
WHAT IF YOU REFUSE? The implication is that, you or your
wards may have no place to work or do business in the fast changing, challenging
world though full with opportunities.
And likely, become object of mass destruction, because you
or your wards lack the profitable knowledge/skill and investment.
There is no other
time than now to connect the evolving youths with the inspiration and
technology they need to go to places we only dreamt of, it is possible and it’s
is now!”
…reading, leading and success just got easy, buy and
read a book today.
WALK INTO YOUR PLACE IN HISTORY, YOU CAN MAKE IT, YES YOU CAN!

KNOW THE RULE AND AVOID THE FLAWS OF LIFE PART 2
WHY DO WE HAVE MORE SPECTATORS?
That is because most
people go for what they want
instead of what they NEED!
Permit me to share what one
of my Internet Marketing Instructor shared with us:
Sell What People ‘want’
To Buy and Not What They ‘NEED’ To
Buy.
“…there
is a massive difference between what people want to buy and what
people
NEED to buy even though they sound similar.
NEED to buy even though they sound similar.
…let’s
assume you sell information materials with 1,000 copies each of two titles:
1. How to pass JAMB
2. How to relocate to the USA
…if you have a teenage son you love so dearly, what will be your advice him at that stage of his life? I’m sure you will advise him to pass JAMB and head to a University. Good!
1. How to pass JAMB
2. How to relocate to the USA
…if you have a teenage son you love so dearly, what will be your advice him at that stage of his life? I’m sure you will advise him to pass JAMB and head to a University. Good!
If
you ask 100 teenagers to choose out of the two options: go to the university or
travel to the USA, which one do you think most of them will opt for? Your
answer is as good as mine. They NEED
to go to school but they want
to travel abroad.
Let me ask you, which
one will succeed faster out of these…
Bottled water company or a beer company?
Bottled water company or a beer company?
A food canteen or
a football viewing center?
A motivational book/magazine or a football book/magazine?
A motivational book/magazine or a football book/magazine?
Gosh! I once saw a hungry looking boy (about 13 years old) pay N50 to enter a football viewing centre. That boy NEEDED food, but he want to watch Chelsea.
I gave up my websites on motivation, business, self development etc to concentrate on gaming, travel, sports, entertainment, romance and sex. Why? They sell!
Akin
Alabi
AKA Otunba Internet Marketing Guru.
Truly, like marketing people say, sex sells!
AKA Otunba Internet Marketing Guru.
‘…if most
people were to have a one on one chat with GOD ALMIGHTY to present why they
were unable to succeed in life; God would knock them on their head with words
like;
‘…get away from me you shameful
disgraceful fellow, I gave you everything you NEED to become highly productive
and successful but you went after what you want and here complaining I
couldn’t do this or that because I was born in Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Somalia…I
dint go to school, the economy was bad…”
YOU CAN MAKE IT!
Friends, I speak to you youths, we’ve got no reason
whatsoever to be unproductive; do what my friend Tu-Face calls ‘shady deals’ or
waste our precious time in crises or whatever. …all of this is nothing but a decoy for you to destroy yourself by
yourself with your own hands.”
Success is
your birthright if you know the law of life; it’s in you and not in external
forces or factors as we have been programmed to believe!
All we are
asked to do from Adam is, develop ourselves
by reading and associate with productive and progressive minds; if you know
and play by the rule of the game, you must emerge!
Having
come to know the truth, what are you supposed to do? The Dakota Proverb says “When you discover you are riding a dead
horse, the best strategy is to dismount.”
It’s true that most people buy and go for what is pleasing to the eyes
and ears, that simply explains why only the very few who took time out to learn
and practice the laws of life succeed, leaving most people with the feeling and
believe that, one must be restive, do
crime or cult to succeed.
Let’s at this juncture analyze the alleged ways to success;
RESTIVENESS
What is the definition of
being wealthy? We totally consent to Robert Kiyosaki definition, he said “money should not be the determining factor
to what you aspire and achieve in life; your ability to aspire and achieve what
you want even when broke is the indicator that you have conquered the addictive
power of money.”
That cannot be easy for the easygoing; restiveness/restlessness and ruggedness
is a plus quality for highly productive and successful people.
Just like a gas cylinder;
restiveness has the capacity to propel you to greatness if channeled
appropriately and to destruction when abused. Be positively restless and
rugged!
No man succeeds on a platter
of gold- the most productive and successful people fought, even when they were
perceived as being silent, and that is what makes their success power even more
enthralling.
There are two ways to fight
and the tested and proven best way is not with weapons as most people think, but with staying success power. It takes restiveness to stay put when you should unleash the dragon.
The best fight philosophy is when you endure the
heat/pain and yet in control, charting paths to breakthrough, instead of
accepting the decoy to destroy yourself by yourself by doing or saying self
destructive things that would later become reality in your life or regret.
The best case study to prove
this theory is Apple Legend- Steve Job; he was fired from the company he
floated but never fought back as expected.
Rather, he stayed put, yet
restive and rugged doing what he should be doing and was recalled in due time.
The records of the transformation he made possible in Apple are in the sand of
times for your consideration.
To be highly productive and
successful, you must be positively
restive and rugged!
CRIME
The common idea to most
people, youths especially is that, “there
is no success without crime.” Perfectly right! But what kind of crime?
The
negative criminals use arms or forcefully take what belongs to you.
The
positive criminals
use idea, products or service to stylishly take what belongs to you- you pay
smiling; both of them are criminals; one ruthless and the latter friendly.
That is practically why people package, advertise
and sell several life defaming products/entertainment that appeals to man’s
fleshly desires or roll out life enhancing services/inventions by the seconds, branding
them as 2009, 2010, 2013, 2015 model…, can’t you see it?
Success is like a T-junction-
you decide which way to drive with the same doggedness and resourcefulness; left
lane has death traps, ill-gotten success, imprisonment and death, while the
right lane has good success, challenges and failure.
The good side of the right
lane is that, you can honourably and creatively start all over again. These
conjure why most successful people work on feedbacks several times before
success that knows no limit smile their way- you can make it!
KNOW THE RULE AND AVOID THE FLAWS OF LIFE - PART 1
I see people walk the street on daily basis
searching for means of livelihood; when in actual sense, they are a moving institution
and conglomerate that has the capacity to create job for themselves and generation
after them.
The truth is that, most unsuccessful
people today
in life were at different spot in life close to ground breaking success but
lost out, why? Because, they were ignorant of success power- knowledge!
I am in love with the much talk about film, the “3
Idiots.” In the film, the
young man who originally invented the toy plane lost out and committed suicide,
why? Because, the Head of the School said he was not serious.
Unknown to him, he was at that point close to perfecting his idea and ground
breaking success.
He discarded the toy plane and the lead actor picked
it up, improved on what he had done and got it right- most times, we are closer
than we think.
Irrespective of the perceived
disability of any kind- no money, lack of education, physical disability, deteriorating
economy… there is greatness in everyone created by God Almighty that is yet to
be maximised - it is in you!
YOU CAN BE AND CAN INSPIRE
AND MENTOR YOUR CHILD OR STUDENT TO BE EXCELLENT DRIVEN AND BE HIGHLY
PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL. YES, YOU CAN!
Our warri people say,
“na wetin you look throw-way
face, na him your mate take pass you!”
The sad part of life is
that, most people see ‘success’
as abstract, in trying to upgrade, some replace it with the word ‘entrepreneurship.’ That is not bad,
because, they in teaching entrepreneurship cover ‘success’ as a subject.
Most people left school with only paper qualification;
mentally and physically indolent- the worst is mental indolence.
We stand proud to say that, the Nigeria/African youths
are not lazy as propagated by some quarters; they are among the most
resourceful if given the right condition.
Again, what is the right condition? Some persons think
it boils down to money.
NO! Just like other good thinking people have
overemphasised, we are of the opinion with proven facts that, the current
system of conventional education, skill acquisition, amnesty, sport, money and
other condiments like motorbikes are secondary ways to truly develop and
empower the youths.
The developed countries are currently battling with
the puzzle and trying to change to the system of education and empowerment that
took them this far, because the current system is not highly productive as they
had expected.
The current system is best described as administering
analgesic to someone who needs to undergo a surgery. We do not in any way
support or advocate amnesty, money and skill acquisition as the first line of action.
We can see that locally with the ban on OKADA sweeping
the nation; a youth development and empowerment initiative that was once
celebrated nationwide.
Like building, you need to certify- be sure of the
foundation- the soil, the location and material you are using before erecting
the structure.
To buttress our point, it on record that, some of the beneficiaries
of the River State Government Skill Acquisition training programme abroad, have
been calling on the governor to ask for employment and financial support, after
travelling out of this great country Nigeria, fully sponsored by the state
government; that is an error!
That is practically because; they were only trained on the skill and
lack the mental training needed to become highly productive and successful in
the evolving generation.
With such opportunity to have travel abroad for
training, if properly tutored, they should have been attracting investments and
creating jobs and not pleading for jobs and peanuts.
Like one of mentor said, “I will rather pay Alh. Aliko Dangote, The
Bull Wale Adenuga, Prof. Pat Utomi millions of naira for one day business/success
lecture, than pay a hundred thousand to an institution professor of business.”
Why? Because, the Professor knows the theory,
but, we need practical solutions to excel in the real world!
Human capacity development goes beyond skill and knowledge
about a particular discipline/career. This should include teaching people how
to discover their individuality-
their mission in life, how to manage change
and challenges as they grow, to be
able to identify and enjoy opening opportunities.
Unfortunately, due to ignorance and indolence, a lot of
people are yet not aware of the fact that, most courses and businesses
they are busy learning, investing their finance and time on today is as good as
obsolete.
THE
IRONY
The irony of this is that, these set of people if not
redirected today would have no place to work or do business in the fast
changing, challenging world, though full with opportunities.
These unemployable would then become object of mass
destruction, because they lack profitable skill, investment and have nothing to
lose but their already frustrated life.
There is no other time than now to connect the evolving
youths with the inspiration and technology needed to go to places we only
dreamt of, the time is now and it is possible!
9ja Knowledge Show’s business is to SEARCH; inspire and connect the evolving youths with the
inspiration and the technology needed to succeed in the 21st century!
If you or your child or
student must maximize the latent capacity for greatness in you, then, you must know what you NEED to succeed in
this evolving fast changing and challenging global village full of
opportunities.
Philip
Emeagwali said,
“Africa must get onboard… Right now! … Africa will be either
on to the Information Age or off to the dark Agricultural Age … Africa is
suffering from knowledge apartheid that forces its children to eat the crumbs
from the dinner table of the information-affluent nations.”
SPORT FESTIVALS
Have you ever wonder why
there is usually drastic reduction of crime and youth related restiveness
during sport festivals?
Sport festivals engage
idle minds with what to watch away their life and argue about. Most youths are
unproductive because they are spectators
instead of ACTORS they were created to be.
Spectators watch
to have something to talk about people; ACTORS
watch to hone their knowledge and skills.
WE ‘ALL’ RESPONSIBLE!
RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT?
As a street boy like most
youths, I was redirected and ushered into
what I am currently doing today known as 9ja knowledge show with the following
three life changing sentences;
1. You can make it in Nigeria
devoid of crime- no matter what,
2. Everyman/woman you meet
bless and prosper you either ways,
3. And speak evil of no man
but all the good you know of everyone!
That voice and propulsion
from GOD is what has sustained me, the project and that is why my email opened
ten years ago, reads yesnigeria4life@yahoo.com. So, it is not my business to celebrate
‘the why’ or ‘point fingers’, especially, because, we are “ALL” responsible but
to contribute my quota in redefining and blaze the trail of youth/human
capacity development and empowerment.”
“If you ask most people on the street the simple
question, ‘who is responsible for the current decadency in our society?’ The
response you are sure to get is- ‘…the government, politicians and the
successful people – company owners.’
Who is the government or the rich people? “WE”- you,
my humble self, our relatives, friends and fellow citizens- these people
represent the mental and moral state of the wider society- good or bad!
If you walk up to the politicians or public servants
in the government, most of them would tell you, it is a mutual business and or
likely act too busy doing what they think they should do- but time and event
overtake them by surprise.
And if you stoop to ask most men in business and
social organizations, what do you get? We are in business to make money, we
have scope and budget we are working on, besides, it’s the government’s
responsibility to provide security, job and to re-orientate the society.
Those who are specially called like my humble self to
inspire and empower the society, got sidetracked by mounting challenges that
was meant to perfect us and didn’t sustain the calling as we should. We allowed
ourselves to be carried along by the wind of get rich quick at all cost.”
I once called a Lebanese C.E.O, doing business in
Nigeria, inviting him to be one of the proud sponsors of the youth development
and empowerment programme we organized; what did he have to say, after several
maradonic dribbling, he finally said, ‘I
no be sponsor’ and cut the call.
Don’t get too angry with the Lebanese fellow, because,
as a team, we also invited high profile fellow Nigerian C.E.O’s and top
government officials who did the same, likely because, they feel they were
secured, but times are changing- they now know better.
Some of these people went as far as stealing the
project, but like you know, THE VISION runs beyond what we wrote to them and as
such they couldn’t execute it even with their position and unlimited funds at their
disposal. I meet the former Warri South Chairman, Hon. Mathew Mofe Edema to complain about this daybreak stealing and oppression
which was enough to take the boys back to the street.
I smiled at them and bear no grudges because; I now know
better- they were doing what they were suppose to do- perfect us by their challenges.
This reminds me of a popular story amongst the Christendom which goes something
like this “if the devil knew that impaling Jesus Christ was in line with the redemption
game plan of GOD and would attract the cloud of witnesses now calling his name,
the devil would have changed his mind to- ‘stay and don’t die and let’s see how
you would redeem man!’”
So, look at the people who challenge you as people who
do not know what they are doing, at the end, you would realise that, the challenges
post before you is what you need to be what your are created to be- this I can
say at the top of my voice- again and again!
And that is why, I believe that most people who fast, pray,
bind and cast don’t really know what they are binding and casting, most times,
they use their mouth and hand to bind and cast away their most cherished dream
they have all day and night being looking for.
And again, like other great men and women have
overtime confirmed, ‘who God has blessed no man can curse- we are nothing but
pencil in GOD’s hand and nothing without HIM!’
YOUTH CHALLENGES
Let me state here that, most youth related
restlessness of whatever form is not far from REJECTION and DISAPOINTMENT; more
so because, most of them were not properly trained on how to handle REJECTION and DISAPOINTMENT or on how to manage NEGATIVE responses they get from the people they so much respect or
hoped on.
There are two sides to every coin; these aggrieved
youths end up saying to themselves, ‘...if you cannot give because of God, then
you must give because of the devil- and funny enough, most people and the
society give because of the devil.
That is the simple interpretation of the current
system of AMNESTY and EMPOWERMENT- denote bomb, claim
responsibility and be empowered or write to companies, if they didn’t respond,
go there armed and they would gladly pay you!’
And I think, like many good thinking people have
overtime complained, this does not in any way portend a glorious future for
Nigeria. In most cases we inspired these youths take up arms by our response to
them.
I have written several letters to international
organisations – even to CNN and all
of them respond within 24 hours, but to Nigerian organisations, few responded.
But sad to say, they do respond positively when youths come around them with
arms as armed robbers, militants or as redefined development tax collectors as
they are known in some part of the country- we can no longer indirectly
continue to force these youths to take arms, that is not good for our and the
wider society’s security.
I am not saying that, successful people or the
government should throw away their hard earned money or not, but that; there are
better ways to truly empower these youths. We should respond to these youths
honourably- share in their pains, inspire, discover and develop their talents
and speak hope into them.
Most times, these youths don’t know who they truly
are- I mean their dormant abilities, we can supercharge them with simple words.
In most cases, the act of given them free money/skill acquisition destroy them
rather than make them, I can say that again and again!
For example, within the same period, we wrote to a man
we now respect so much, Rev. Dr. Tolar Ikem, the C.E.O. of Triune
Ventures Limited, invited him to be one of our proud sponsors.
Unlike some other C.E.O’s who hide themselves with
security agents and turn down calls if you ever have the rare privilege of
having their mobile contacts; when told we were around, he walked out of his
office honourably, met us at his reception, shook hand with us and said;
“…young men and women, I love
what you guys are doing, however, I must also confess that, I no longer know
who is who, because, a lot of young men come around proposing one youth
development related programme or the other, on giving them the money, that is
the last you hear of them. Please keep the timely and good works going; I would
personally call you when I see you doing what you say you are doing.
And again, I am on a mission
like you, but decided to be doing this my small contract business to avoid
begging people for support to my ministry...”
He didn’t give us a dime/kobo, we walked away smiling,
because he dignified us and told us the truth we all know and should know.
However, I would not fail to mention this; our
previous programme was a success because of the timely support we got from
great men like Mr. Billy Ofesi, C.E.O Biloritz Nig. Limited.
And funny enough, Mr. Ahmed Mazolum, the M.D of Unitop
International – who coincidentally is the younger brother of the Lebanese C.E.O
I mentioned who turned us down. Dr.
Ochuko Akpeme, the Proprietor of Classical International School, Mr.
Sunny Ozobialu of the Wichtech Group and Federal Government College Warri.
You would agree with us that, running impact making
youth development programme is finance intensive, but, to GOD Almighty be all
the glory, our event made a positive impact that youths yet talk about to date.
THE MATRIX
Imagine if these people and organisation didn’t
respond to our challenge when it mattered most, what would have happened?
UNLEASH THE DRAGON
Most importantly, imagine if we had allowed youthful
exuberance to overrule our sense of reason, thus misinterpret and respond to
the Lebanese response this way, which was also possible;
“In our country, a Lebanese,
making money and yet have the effrontery to say ‘you are not a sponsor, then
why are you here making money, pack and go by fire and by thunder’?”
UNLEASH THE GREATNESS
We unleashed greatness by handling the challenge
responsibly, and latter enjoyed his younger brother’s patronage because, we
know the rule of the game of business-
you win and lose some and win latter-
even in regular day to day business!
There are obvious indicators that, most youth’s
related restiveness are not far from the response and the kind of attention we
gave or did not give them.
QUESTIONS TO PONDER?
To parents; How many youths understand and play by this rule of
the game of life and why? Most of them are ignorant of the rule of the game of
life. Who should teach them? WE- the successful and we would by helping them
help ourselves, and that is exactly what these great companies like Microsoft,
Nokia, Intel have figured out!
If these youths are inspired and empowered, they would
have money to patronised the unending smart devices/products they are producing
and also secure their investment in Nigeria/Africa.
To youths: would we have enjoyed the Lebanese man’s younger
brother patronage if we had gone all out to rain fire and thunder on his elder
brother? NO!
Would we have been able to make the much talk about
impact and be celebrated as inspirational role models to the youths? Again, NO!
You would agree with me that, most situations that
take you to the street are decoy for you to destroy yourself by yourself with
your own hand.
WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE- the Youths and the Parents! So,
don’t point fingers; to us, it’s time to learn from our past- what has held us
back and redefine the future!
The truth is that, most unsuccessful
people today in life were at different spot in life close to ground
breaking success but lost out, why? Because, they were ignorant of success
power- knowledge! WE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE TO THE STREET AND COACH THESE YOUTHS!”

WELCOME TO A NEW DAWN!
The information I am about to divulge
is elusive to many; very few have got hold of it and strategising themselves
and their family to rule the world in their own right.
Let’s go into business- a generation...,
someone once said- we run things, things don’t run us! Basically, an organized system
of running organisations has been born and fast on the rise- a generation that
will not ask you what you study in school, but what difference can you make-
what have or are you adding to yourself, your community, the society and what
can you contribute to and not take from my organisation or the society.
Some
people have gotten it all wrong, thinking it has to do with accruing Western
Education- in most cases- paper qualification; as good as that may be, the
generation in question considered that as a groundwork.
What
you did before, during and what you are currently doing after school has a direct
bearing on who you are- a contributor or a liability. And like we all know, no
one wants a liability- not even as a wife.
The
following are not important to the generation= 1. Ethnicity. 2. Family name/societal
status. 3. Educational qualification with no practical proof and, 4. Your skin. What they are on the lookout for is 1.
Passion for your area of specialisation. 2. Dedication and ability to work as
and in a team. 3. Consistent thirst for self development knowledge- growth and
then, 4. Qualification.
You
will notice that ‘qualification’ came last, that is because the generation is
tired of over qualified personal who are not productive and progressive. It has
also discovered that, if the first 3 are in place, the last will find its way-
they believe that, the first ‘3’ would give the person all the strength needed to
pursue education and knowledge even after graduation.
The
generation in question got this prescription from the very few that are
currently ruling the world in their various field of endeavours-
entrepreneurship, creativity, business, management, science, medicine,
engineering and even religion. The said that,
“...if
the contemporary generation must go to places we only dreamt of,
...if
Nigeria/Africa must fill the gap of invention and production open for it to
fulfil,
....if
the future must be better than the present, then, the evolving system has to go back
to the old ways of doing things- invest in people and not in materials- oil, gold, diamond...
People
when truly empowered discover better ways of maximising or new natural resources
than oil, gold, diamond... a great mind said, if the future is not better than
today, then we have fathered them in vain!
It
is high time YOU prepare for the future today or else, you may see it and not
fit in or profit from the abundant opportunities, and guess what, THE FUTURE IS
HERE AND NOW!
This piece by Anon titled ‘Running with
a Mission’ showcase a principle that anyone who wants to be part of the
evolving generation must practice consistently;
“Every morning in Africa, a GAZELLE
wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the Lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a LION wakes up, it
knows it must out run the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It
doesn’t matter if you are the lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up, you
better be running.” –Anon. What have you learned or achieve today?
“If today you have not learned
something different, You are a day behind.” –Mike Murdock.
Excellent driven people ask
themselves this question everyday– what have I learned or achieved today? Is
either you have learned or achieve something today or else, it is a wasted
24hours. One way to be a step ahead is by;
1. Going to school- you’ve done that
or are in school, then make the best use of the time and or what you have
learned.
2. Improve your knowledge base by
being a reader with a passion and consistent with evolving knowledge and
technology- most people believe that, on graduating from higher school, they
are done with reading- that’s wrong, that is rather the best time to invest in
your knowledge base.
3. Advance your skills by learning
up-to-date techniques of making things happen in your career- register for some
professional exams; be part of professional bodies. “You can’t travel within
and still stand without”–James Allen, it is just not possible!
Benjamin Franklin also said, “if a
man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An
investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
THE
WAY FORWARD
MASSIVE
REORIENTATION! The truth is that, most unsuccessful people today, youths especially, were at
different spot in life close to ground breaking success but lost out, why?
Because, they were ignorant of success power- knowledge! WE HAVE TO GO OUT
THERE TO THE STREET AND COACH THESE YOUTHS; because most of them have what it
takes- but need simple inspiration and the evolving technology to succeed!
‘SUCCESS’ is a subject like Engineering, Medicine and Law; when you teach people
success principle from childhood, they on their own discover and create what to
do, endure the resulting challenges and excel at it. On the other hand, when
taught just the skill/trade and profession, they rarely succeed at it.
We are proudly Nigerians/Africans
and proud to say that, the Nigeria/African youths are not lazy as propagated by
some quarters; they are among the most resourceful if given the right condition
and the world know this. What is the right condition? Some persons think it
boils down to money.
NO! Just like other good thinking
people have overemphasised, we are of the opinion with proven facts that, the
current system of family and conventional education, skill acquisition,
amnesty, sport, money and other condiments like motorbikes are secondary ways
to truly develop and empower the youths.
Thank God, motorcycle that was once celebrated on national television as
the best way to empower youths is gradually fading away across the country.
People should be encouraged to READ and participate in life changing programmes!
Discover, develop themselves and or also attend distinguished supplementary
business/life school like Harvard Business School and our own
prestigious Lagos Business School.
Because, due to ignorance and indolence, a lot of people
are yet not aware of the fact that, most courses
and business they are busy
learning, investing their finance and time on today is as good as obsolete.
THE
IMPLICATION
The implication is that, these set of people if not
redirected today, would have no place to work or do business in the fast
changing, challenging world though full with opportunities.
These unemployable would then become object of mass
destruction, because they lack profitable knowledge/skill, investment and have
nothing to lose but their already frustrated life- the most frustrating
situation is to be endowed and not know how to maximise it.
There is no other time than now to
connect the evolving youths with the inspiration and technology they need to go
to places we only dreamt of, it is possible and it’s is now!
We are glad to unveil 9ja Knowledge Show mission to search, develop and empower the
emerging young boys and girls who would become highly productive and successful
like GOOGLE, MICROSOFT and FACEBOOK founders before their (30th) thirtieth
birthday in Nigeria/Africa- they are with us in Nigeria and in Africa!
We are using our online platform, offline life changing
events, products and business opportunities to fulfil this mission and yet open
to partnership with great companies/organisations, governments/agencies,
countries/states and likeminded individuals in the BIGGEST empowerment
EVOLUTION.
Be
a part of the evolving frontier of development in Nigeria and Africa.

and blazing the trail of human development
