EVENTFUL SATURDAY: GREAT TIME OUT AT SWITCH AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE CONFERENCE

By Anonymous -


So on Saturday, October 29th 2016 we were live at Four Point at Sheraton, Victoria Island, for the “Switch Conference”, paid entry and the afternoon free entry-“Social Enterprise Conference”, powered by SMEHouse and Gtext Group.



Special thanks to Mr. Stephen Akintayo, Nigeria’s premier digital marketing consultant (as he fondly call himself), CEO/MD of Gtext Group and SMEHouse, for his dedication to youth empowered particularly in tech and digital businesses.


The Switch Conference was an eye opener as secret to thriving in business and career during economic recession were exposed. In fact, the Social Enterprise Conference too was wow with Speakers like the former Deputy Governor of Lagos, Mrs. Sarah Sosan, Mr Dayo Isreal, Mrs. Bukola Meshida Adefope, CEO of The Pegasus, Mr. Deji Irawo, and a host of other fantastic speakers on board to share their unique experiences and secrets in life and business.


If only our youth can leverage on the power that resides within them, the opportunities abound around them offline and online, the networks they have, the abundance of information at their disposal at a click away, and stop complaining of bad government or corrupt leaders that we have, Nigeria would be a better place!


Enough of excuses, it time for every forward-moving Nigerian youth to start taking personal responsibility for their betterment and advancement of the community they belong!


With the likes of great minds and die-hard personalities like Mr. Stephen Akintayo, there is still hope for this country.

We are citizens of this great country called Nigeria. Nigeria is our fatherland! No matter where we are outside her shores, we are still Nigerians! She cannot be great without our input, without our collective efforts, without our corporate social responsibility! Nigeria: Good people, Great Nation. Hmmm, I'm thinking...well, if Americans can be saying "God Bless America" despite all of their crazy laws validating same sex marriage etal, why can't Nigerians too be saying "God Bless Nigeria?”. We need to change our mentality in this country o. We need to start celebrating ourselves so that the world at large will celebrate us. We need to believe in the new Nigerian State where the true ideals of democracy will manifest. We need to speak PEACE into our Jerusalem—Nigeria so that our children will work and walk freely on our streets without any fear or terror. We cannot ALL just the praying and fasting for our land that corruption should b

Of Covid-19 And The New World Order

It’s a brand-new era, an emergence of a new world order. We are in a season of spontaneous change, a dispensation of increase and newness. New vistas, new frontiers, new powers, globalization… A fresh dawn is right here for our lawn, scaring and starring at us. Like the breath of a fresh air, post Covid is here. All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call

OF LINDA IKEJI AND HER NEWLY BOUGHT MANSION: THE RETURN BENEFIT OF CONSISTENT HARDWORK

"You will get there, if you do not stop here" -- Exponent Samuel Adu The good book is complete on the subject of diligence. “Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings and not mean men” (Proverbs 22:29). Whoever says hard work is a waste of time is to me a big fool! Hard work pays. And to be precise, it’s one of the surest ways to escape hard life. Diligent, indeed, is God’s delight. When you are consistent with what you do (good or bad), you will get the result someday. That is the secret behind Linda Ikeji’s success story. Know that if you are poor, if you are not living your dreams, if all you do is to settle for less and accept that as your fate, if all you do is compare yourself to others in the bid to play the blame game, if all you do is criticise others who are making it big doing the same things or business you do, if all you do is explain your pain to no gain, and what have view, you are living a lie! Life is an individual
