MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a time when Nigerians did
not have phones. Even Zenith Bank refused to loan MTN cash to operate, UBA rejected MTN’s offer but
today see the difference.
At least we all know the story of the only civilian unelected President in Nigeria - Goodluck Jonathan.
We know how the people said he was not going to be President; they even made him acting-President.
Today the rest is history.
What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria, they made milk in a sachet, Peak was laughing at
them- they said Cowbell was milk for the poor- but they were right! 3-million poor people could afford
N10 a day for a sachet of milk. Oya, do the maths - 3million people buying milk at N10.00- that was
N30million every single day. In a month they grossed N900million (almost N1billion). Even Peak had to
make sachet milk in order to survive in the market.
So what have people told you? What have they said you cannot do, or you do not qualify for, or you do
not have experience for? They told Cowbell, they told Goodluck, they told MTN, but today the story has
changed.
I have a feeling something is changing for you today! They will change their strategies just to keep in
step with you. Don’t listen to what people are saying or what life is showing you… YES, YOU CAN !
Do have a Positive Day... Success is not about where you graduated from, but what graduates out of
you. Keep the spirit. There is a giant in you, sleeping because you have not woken him up. Don't be
discouraged by your qualification, family background, environment or even our non-performing govt, help
yourself. Stand-up and be beyond what you want 2 be!
God Bless You!!

START YOUR BUSINESS NOW !! ! ! ! ! ! !
I recall the write up below from a mail sent to me by an older friend who was a top management staff of a leading nigerian bank
Please try to create time to read through.
Nigeria educational system is tailored towards developing more capitalist slaves and not entrepreneurs (a Harvard Business
School professor, Professor Bower, told me in 2005 that working for someone is capitalist slaves or method of slavery).
Unlike Nigerian system, Harvard university MBA is real life experience and tailored towards creating entrepreneurs out of their
MBA students they also follow up their career development etc. It is a fantastic school. However, the issue here is not about MBA,
it is about how we can add more value to our profession by being an entrepreneur and thereby create more jobs rather than
more books. Nigeria needs to grow and it can only grow if value is created. We need to create more job rather than chasing
jobs.
For how long do we want to work for anyone if what we have in our mind is how to be a better employee, a good staff to our
employer or bride to a would be employer. It is okay if you are below 40, but if you above 40, you better get out of that job, fire
yourself or employer and start something now before it is too late. You need at least 5 years before your new business starts
getting it foot right (Pls. read CREATE YOUR OWN FUTURE, by
Bran Tracy ).
The money you are spending on MBA will start a good business for you and you will stop waking up early in morning to meet the
target set by your slave masters (i.e employer). Our problem that we always want to start with big capital. No! you can start with
at least N500,000 or less. I know you will spend more than N500,000 on the MBA programme. It may not be easy initially but at
the end of the day you will be better off. I am speaking from experience. SO QUIT THAT JOB AND START DOING SOMETHING
FOR YOUR SELF SO THAT YOU CAN BE A BETTER PERSON IN LIFE
I have no doubt in mind and am very sure that none of you earn up to 10% of your sales target and you spend 18hrs
representing 75% of your time and 85% of useful work age chasing protecting someone investment. An average person starts
working at age 25, works for 30yrs before retiring voluntarily at age55 or get fired at age 60. Nobody can fire you if you own your
own job.
For instance all the MD of banks that have put in 10years come july 2010 will have to leave their jobs as announced by the CBN,
though they all own majority shares in their banks and their money will be working for them, think of what will happen to them if
they are mere employees. There are many ex-bankers roaming the streets of Lagos now because they did not plan their exit and
their mind is tailored toward being a capitalist slave.
There is no big deal about MBA or additional degree after your 1st degree or master degree. I am also not saying that if you have
the means and time you can not pursue one. after all, I have MBA and 2 Masters apart from a degree in Economics and FCA and
am also doing an external Law program at university of London( a 3 yr. program but I can do it for maximum of 8yrs), mind you I
run my business. What I realise we need is executive education
programmes that will enhance our career not MBA after ACA. You will equally learn most of the things you learn in MBA schools in
the executive educational programmes. You will also have to be reading a lot of leadership, motivational, autograph and
biography of world leaders and businessmen. Please if you want to continue to be a slave this advise is not for you. If I knew
what i know now I would have fired my employers long ago before 2005 after spending 18 years as a SLAVE protecting their
investment
Let me share this with you quickly,
Mike Adenuga, Jim Ovia, Fola Adeola, Tayo Aderinokun, Akingbola, Aigboje Aig-imoukhuede( Fired GTB to buy Access bank),
Fidelis Ayebae, MD Fidson healthcare plc a multi billion company (left citi bank as an AGM with nothing to start up fidson, Fidelis
has HND in Civil Engineering) ,
Mrs Florence Seriki(MD Omatek Computer). Tunji Ogunwusi (MD prime waterview real estate developer sits on multi billion
company fired global bank to start tunji ogunwusi & co)
These people run their business, apart from Tayo and
Jim never had MBA or additional degree before they started their businesses.
They all fired there employers at a point in time. They all started their business between 25 and 35yrs at an average age of 32.
A boy studied Economics at Obafemi University Ife started fish
and poultry business in 2004 with a loan of N250,000. 00 from the family and never worked for anyone. By 2008 he had saved
N30million and currently building his own house. He has about 25 employees.
My friend who is chartered accountant, left banking in 2005 got a good offer from FBN but turn it down, banks are running after
him to give him money for his business. His business worth millions now, he started with N5million terminal benefit from the
bank. He runs a grudging business
A cousin of mine who is a chattered accountant worked for an audit firm for 5 years and found it difficult to pay his house rent
started own audit firm in 2004. HE has over 6 employees now, 2 cars and started building his own
house in Lekki
I started my business in 2005 at 39. I have make more than 10 times what I was getting as salary in the bank. In fact, what I
have made in the last 5 years is more than my salary in the banking for 18years added together. I have enough time for my
family and myself and leave a quality and balance life. You can do same it you make the right decision now!
This is a challenge!

The Harlem Shake: Jerusalem Style!
One might have
argued last year that the internet explosion of “Gangnam Style” signified the
possibility that the end of the world was drawing nigh, as it didn’t seem
possible for the world to fall into a lower place.
But that was soooo 2012...and I guess the reward for surviving both the Mayan predictions and the rise of Psy is now the video heard ’round the world: The Harlem Shake. And when I say “round the world” - I mean this in a very literal way. The nation of Tunisia is trying to get the (ahem) “dance” banned. Egyptian Muslims are using it as a protest video. Australian miners are getting fired for filming it in a deep hole where a trap bass beat just might trigger a collapse. And some Christian schools are suspending students for uploading Harlem Shake scenes that (to them) approximate pagan worship dances, while other churches and youth groups are uniting with the worldwide frivolity like spring fever has arrived. At the end of the day, the Harlem Shake will head the same one direction that all meaningless and merriment manufacturing memes go - into the black Friday of the internet graveyard that will be resuscitated when we watch Google's "Best of..." or Youtube's "Rewind" for the year. (If you don't agree - you can call me...maybe.) But before that eventuality occurs, let us consider for a moment what insight we might garner from the thousands of 30 second clips that have hijacked the planet. For example, you’ve probably noticed that the Harlem Shake knockoffs all follow the same formula: Begin with a mundane setting - dorm room, office, kitchen - dangerous mine (?) and one person in some sort of odd headgear starts gyrating maniacally while everyone else ignores him. Then after 15 seconds, the beat drops on "Harlem Shake" and - (viral moment) - cut to the whole room generally imitating the leader and going loco en la cabeza! As you can see, it doesn’t really require anything sophisticated to spread across the planet like the flu - just a message of freedom to be yourself and dance like you just don’t care - right? Now consider with me another instance long ago where something freeing spread like wildfire. It started 2000 years ago in the city of Jerusalem. Start with a mundane setting and someone talking (not dancing) - while everyone ignores him:
Peter stepped
forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen
carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake
about this. With the help of lawless Gentiles, you nailed him to a
cross and killed him. But God released him from the horrors
of death and raised him back to life, for death could not keep him in its
grip.
God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this!
Drop in the beat
of the greatest truths in the universe:
So let
everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”
Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. “Get out while you can; get out of this sick and stupid culture!”
Cut to the whole
crowd trusting in Christ and starting the gospel dance that has now been
viral for two millennium with two billion followers!
That day about
three thousand took him at his word, were baptized and were signed up. They
committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the
common meal, and the prayers. (Acts 2:14;23-24;32;36-37;38;40-42)
I sometimes wonder how many more people would hear the
gospel and trust Christ if we treated THE Cause and sharing our faith with
the enthusiasm that we dedicate to viral videos. We have a life-altering and
destiny-changing message that sets people free to be who God made them to be!
When our friends and family get a hold of the truth that they no longer have
to be bound by mindless religious duties and works based performance systems,
their souls are set free to spread this incredible message across the planet.C’mon friends - the Apostles started the Harlem Shake - Jerusalem style. Let’s upload their tradition and keep the dance going for eternity! |
The success of the Harlem Shake is an awesome
opportunity to “jump on the bandwagon” and use it as an opportunity to share
something else that has spread like wildfire - the gospel. This week, get
together with friends and brainstorm about ways you could take something as
popular as this video and use it for THE Cause of Christ!

Be Free from SATIN
BE FREE FROM
SATIN
Some years ago, while in the University, Samuel came to realize that his University grade of a third class will be a great setback and obstacle in his pursuit of a promising career and big-paying white collar job in any of the multi-national oil companies. Samuel had actually been a very talented lad, he was unarguably “potentialed” with prospect of being an engineer par excellence. However, he has been so seriously unserious with his studies at school, more given to the ephemeral pursuits of campus ludicrous pleasures than burning the midnight candles that were expedient for academic excellence. When the chickens came home to roost, he suddenly realized that he has been sliding on banana peels, with the veil off his eyes and the grim truth bare before him; he realized that his University grades were at rock bottom. He only narrowly passed out, yet a blind man could see that his was a case of a drowning man who finds a billion dollar worth rare diamond pearl at the bottom of the sea, just before he breathes his last. He needed no further speech from the dumb to know that his certificates and grades would be more of no value – or better still, a disadvantaged obstruction to his future career.

He needed no further speech from the dumb to know that his certificates and grades would be more of no value – or better still, a disadvantaged obstruction to his future career.
Consequently, he heeded the counsel of his bosom
friend, Satin, to procure a fake result through a syndicate at the University’s
Exams and Records unit. Wow! Samuel couldn’t believe his lucky star when he got
a University certificate with a Second Class Upper honor grade during his
convocation. This result quickly blew away the dark clouds hovering over his
mind vis-à-vis the disadvantaged position he would have been if he had gone
ahead in search of a job with the very abysmally woeful TRUE grades of his – a
leprous Third Class. (Even though it was indubitable that Samuel had the
intellectual wherewithal and expertise to be the best at his chosen field)
Shortly after Samuel and his friend Satin gained a very plum job at an Oil and Gas Multinational company, Samuel received a message from his FRIEND, Satin. He was to perpetually split his salary into two parts. 70% was to be sent monthly to his FRIEND, Satin, while he keeps the remaining 30% to himself – OR ELSE, Satin was to blow the lid off Samuel’s little secret (i.e telling the Company’s management that Samuel had applied with a forged certificate and grades). After much haggling, Samuel was able to keep only just 40% to himself monthly or face the music of EXPOSURE. I guess you would call this BLACKMAIL from his FRIEND, Satin. (oops! Did I just hear you say fiend and not fRiend? FRIEND or FIEND? Samuel had no option but to accept the deal, and was painfully faithful each month – laboring while Satin comes in at the end of the month to pocket a whopping 60% of his salary.

Samuel had no option but to accept the deal, and was painfully faithful each month – laboring while Satin comes in at the end of the month to pocket a whopping 60% of his salary.
A little after 3 years, Samuel, Satin and a few
other colleagues were interviewed for promotion. Fortunately, Samuel received a
notification from the CEO that he came first at the result of the interview,
while his friend Satin was second. In a twist of fate, Samuel was due for a
promotion to a managerial position in the same unit with his friend – even
though his friend had been a brighter student with an authentic better grade
from the University. While he was jubilitating, his friend (or is it FIEND) was
groaning in murderous jealousy and anger. In just another act of BLACKMAIL,
Satin prodded Samuel to decline the promotion, a move that would make Satin the
recipient of the promotion.
(How so wickedly to see Satin always popping up at every NEXT LEVEL JUNCTION of Samuel's ENTRY POINT to HIGHER GROUNDS of Breakthrough BLESSlNGS, first to share in it but now to completely steal it!
“oh God, I cannot bear this anymore.” Samuel was so depressed and drained by this blackmail from his friend turned FIEND. Thus, he decided to go all out and confess his misdeeds and crime to the CEO, and thereafter resigned from the job.

“oh God, I cannot bear this anymore.” Samuel was so depressed and drained by this blackmail from his friend turned FIEND. Thus, he decided to go all out and confess his misdeeds and crime to the CEO, and thereafter resigned from the job.
Monday morning, Samuel walked into the CEO’s
office, brow beaten, downcasted, depressed, repressed and with a defeatist
shoulder-slumping and tail-dragging pace. While everyone else was trying to
give him well deserved congratulations in advance, for his soon-to-be-announced
promotion, Satin walked over to Samuel just before he walked into the CEO’s
office, and whispered “Either you do as I say or you get exposed!”.
After some minutes of confession, agonizing tears, regretful apologies, submission of an already written letter of resignation, Samuel tearfully wept and begged on both knees that the CEO don’t report him to the authorities at his Alma Mater as well as the Police department.
Samuel would have expected the worst, but was taken aback when the CEO said “Samuel, I knew about your forged certificates and grades. In fact, I instructed the Personnel Manager to substitute the forged certificates and grades, and in its place we have your authentic University certificates and grades.
More so, we never employed you based on grades or certification. We were convinced you had the intellectual wherewithal and expertise, and it was upon these platforms you got employed. I have long forgiven you of your transgression, its rather unfortunate you allowed your fiend (FRIEND), Satin(SATAN) to exploit your past.
As long as we are concerned in this company, Satin (SATAN) has NO EVIDENCE against you. There is therefore NO CONDEMNATION against you. Henceforth, every Satin (SATAN’s) voice that rises against you in blackmail and judgment shall be condemned.

You have allowed Satin(SATAN) to use your past
against you for so long, BREAK FREE from the guilt and burdens of your past. We
have burnt and completely destroyed the evidences of your sinfully forged
papers. As the CEO of this company, I choose to deal with you based on GRACE.
My Mercy has prevailed over judgment. As for your resignation to fate, take
back the letter, walk out of this room, go over to Satin(SATAN) and tear it to
his face, RESIST him with the TRUTH you now know and he will FLEE from you.
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done --and the Satins and devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, abortion, fornication and adultery etc.) -- whatever it is, you need to know that God is the CEO of your life. He knew your past, destroyed the power of your past, forgave and forgot your past. There now lies NO EVIDENCE of your past against you.
Unlike Samuel, don’t throw in your resignation letter. Don’t resign from your purpose. Don’t resign from ministry. Don’t resign from doing that which you ought to do in your career, business, academics, relationship or marriage.
Don’t turn down that managerial promotion to your next level of favor, breakthrough and miracles of open doors, healings, marriage, favors and prosperity.
Stop allowing the Satins of Fear, Guilt, Shame, Self-Unforgivness and Self-Condemnation drain you of your full joy, peace, happiness, sleep and rest. Take back all the 60% these Satanic Satins have stolen and forcefully exploited and devoured from you.

I REBUKE every Satin-like devourer that drains
you of anything.

The Satins of our lives could be, the devil, guilty conscience, self-unforgiveness, self-condemnation, anxiety, Fear, Guilt, Shame from secret and past sins etc. You must stop being enslaved to these Satins that use your past sins against you.
