I call it the 21st century parenting dilemma. How do you convince your child to accept that stealing, cheating or lying for instance are “bad”, when s/he often sees them happening routinely? This ranges from adults s/he sees (or hears) about in public office diverting state funds, to sports persons found guilty of doping, as […]

I believe, from over 2 decades of observation/experience, that one major mistake being made by conventional farm support specialists is that they focus mainly – sometimes exclusively – on farm related issues, in serving farm business owners. This can be self-defeating, because other aspects of the farm owner’s life can – and do! – interfere […]

I don’t know about you. But in my part of the world, finding people willing to speak truth regardless of whose Ox is gored, is more difficult these days. Too many “good” people today do not want “trouble”. So, even when they see/hear outright evil being done to others, they keep quiet, and look the […]

I am now fully convinced that conventional schooling involves a subtle but severe form of brainwashing. And that’s why otherwise intelligent people who have undergone it sometimes display a baffling tendency to act like mindless robots! And they do so, despite seeing it failing, more often that it succeeds, in today’s world! I know of […]

This photo, is of a handwritten “contract” of sorts recently sent me by my (11 & 13 year old) sons. It reads: “Tayo, we will do anything you and mummy ask us to do without grumbling, but we need a deal. The deal is if we do anything for anybody in this house without grumbling, […]

If you hold a degree, and plan to make your child get one too, I congratulate you! However, let me ask you this question: “AFTER s/he leaves home and begins FACING the real world as an INDEPENDENT adult, will your child be HAPPY with the preparation you gave him/her?” In case you did not know […]

In 1992, I graduated with the highest ever C.G.P.A of 5.9 (First class was 6.0) in Agric. Extension from Unibadan. Then, in Guinness Nigeria, I earned senior management roles in less than 6 years from 1994. However, as an entrepreneur, I looked like a TOTAL IDIOT – for years – after starting. Yes, IDIOT, in […]

[NB: This issue of my newsletter is a public service edition.] Last Saturday a.m (7th June 2014), I published a blog about my near 12 hour traffic jam ordeal coming from Seme border to Mile 2 the day before (i.e Friday).

The fact that THAT man or woman is sweeping floors today in your company today, does not mean s/he cannot be the owner of a successful business tomorrow. Actually, s/he could one day become YOUR boss, or indeed the CEO of the company you work for! Countless examples abound!! Where I come from (Nigeria) people […]
