World Food Day is an annual global campaign, established by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945, that is observed – annually – on the 16th of October.
It would however NOT be adopted as a global holiday until November 1974 during the FAO’s 20th Conference, after which it became an annual celebration.

“I ended up giving talks to employees of an educational organisation in six different branches located VERY far from each other, over a 6 week period, only to be asked to pick up a cheque for an amount that did not even cover the cost of fuel I had put in my car during that time!. How could this happen? My inexcusable naivety as reflected in an unpardonable failure to discuss and agree in advance, fine details of my remuneration with the Executive Director (who as the cheque payment – see photo – showed, was quite happy to have me work that way!), was the cause.” – Tayo K.

This video trailer is a public service announcement. I explain how a PortHarcourt based “company” has listed my name, for years, as one of its Directors on a web based business directory, despite my effort to remove it.
I also share two interesting anecdotes about how some naughty clients (in the past), used my name for their business purposes, without my knowledge or consent.
Lastly, I explain why you need to be vigilant in checking for, detecting and challenging such acts…AND most importantly taking steps to protect yourself e.g. by publishing a disclaimer.

EXCERPT | INTRO
For some time now, I have had the opportunity to discuss extensively with many entrepreneurs and business owners (some being clients for whom I had to build websites) about what kind of online presence they need to have for their businesses.
In many cases I have found these individuals to be MORE preoccupied with the aesthetics of the site, than they are with the “selling” ability of the site. And yet, there is hardly any business owner who does not know that increasing marketing reach and effectiveness – which a website can greatly facilitate – is crucial for continued growth and profitability.
This article outlines essential features of a website that works (and potential key benefits to be reaped) , which any business owner should aim to get if s/he hopes to maximise returns from investing in a website.
Watch as I browse through a 2007 archived version of my first ever website – spontaneousdevelopment dot com (2005 – 2014), which I lost (due to poaching of the domain name) in May 2014 and had to hurriedly replace with tayosolagbade dot com.
In this video, I explain how I used manual html (hand) coding to build and maintain that website. Then I compare it to my current website – tayosolagbade dot com – built and maintained using WordPress (a Content Management System).
The differences between the appearances and backend functionalities required to run both websites are clear proof that one needs to be willing to pay one’s dues, if authentic success is to be achieved.

Not every prospect or client that comes along with an offer will be a good fit for you – EVEN IF s/he is rich! Knowing when to walk away is therefore a valuable skill.
If you accept work from everyone who makes an offer, there’s a good chance you’ll hurt your business eventually.
