Yay! . My Diploma Certificate is here! . When you know you deserve some accolades for going through a rigorous 13 weeks training and tough examinations that most of the students couldn't continue to completion, but you're just one of the diehard few that passed ALL your papers! . The journey to taking this time-demanding course from start to completion in the midst of my workaholics busy upanda schedules and my other alongside media training in Camera/TV Production, can only be God. . Mehn, at some point I wanted to just stop attending the live classes and the trainings in my student area (portal) and focus on my media training and my business. Wetin? Over 350 practical training videos to watch back-to-back plus 2-4 times weekly live classes on Facebook, and then with plenty-plenty assignments and tough questions to answer? It was drilling, data consuming, sleep starving, mentally exhausting bla bla bla...but I know I am not destined to fail for this. . So, I pressed on

hi, there. Wao! My name is Samuel Adu, from Lagos, Nigeria. I'm graduate from the American Internet Business School (AIBS), where I recently bagged a Diploma in Digital Business Specialist from the pretigious institution. I must say it's been a challenging 12-weeks of "war", intensive, thorough, indept and marathon back-to-back learning experience at the school, all under the lead supervision and tutelage of our Amiable Mentor and Coach, and our Digital Daddy of Africa, Dr. Ope Banwo.

Freelancing Mastery 5. Ecommerce Mastery 6. Traffic Generation and Digital Advertising Mastery 7. Local Business Consultant Mastery 8. Social Media Mastery 9. and Even Forex Trading, Stocks and Crytop Mastery It's been amazing, eye-opening and full of practical ways to make

What will you be remembered for? What legacy do you want to leave behind? Are you making your life count or you just counting your life? What difference are you making to make the world a better place? If you are long gone, will society be grateful that you came? Will your impact be felt or not for being around? When the etchers chip your epitaph into the gravestone of your life, what will be written? Sadly, what most people count in life doesn't count. And what supposed to be counted or accounted for is never accounted for. Are you making your life count or you just enjoy being counted that you are alive? What do you understand by a life of significance, meaning and relevance? Do you know the meaning of life is simply to live a life of meaning, an immaculate life worthy or emulation? Many of us are subjected to the myth that status, wealth or riches—having money and the things money can buy, fame and popularity, power and affluence ar

The life of a  # corporatephotographer  and  # entrepreneur So, this week has been a very ethic, stressful, work-long shooting & learning experience for me. From a 3days continuous shooting and video production at the Stakeholder Engagement/Launch Workshop Brief organised by Partnership for African Social & Governance Research (PASGR), Institute of Development Studies (IDS) & LEAP Africa @leapafrica at Golden Tulip Essential Airport Hotel, to the Personal Effectiveness Training for Management, Staffs and Trainees at Aims Media Company, Sabo, Yaba, Lagos (where I am currently undergoing an intensive training in Camera/TV Production), to my shooting earlier today at the  # digitalmarketing # masterclass  organised by the Nirmalla Chellarams Centre for Entrepreneurship Skills (with their learning extension centre in  # Unilag ), despite the state of my health, I had to do the job and give it all of my best shoot! I didn't even have one time like that vi

Forget about everything now and raise. . Gather all your strength and lift yourself up from the ground. . You can do it. Yes, do it now! . Arise and shine for your light is come! . That your back is on the ground does not mean you should remain on the ground. . Actually, your back on the ground is not an opportunity to lock up or give up but to look up and rise up! . Arise! Gbese! Gbe body e. Gbe soul e! Ji masun! . . Arise. Oh, my dear friend, arise! . Until you arise, Kings will not show up. Nations only come to your rising… . Kings only come to you when you’ve “risen” not when you’re “thinking about rising” or your “about to rise” state. . You cannot go far, you may not rise high, or make it big while thinking about small things. If your thinking is average, you will become average. . You are what you think! And what you think unbeknown to you is what you partake! . "Remember you become what you think about most of the time", says Earl Nightingale. . In your thoug

Hear this:  Whatever you eventually become (a total failure or a success), is absolutely dependent on you--your personal decision and not your circumstance. The tomorrow you envisage is at the mercy of the decisions you make today. Like I used to say, decisions and not just dreams (we all do), determine our destinies. Nobody is responsible for your outcomes in life. You are absolutely responsible for your life. So, the idea of shifting the blame to your circumstance, family up bring, government or environment is not acceptable. When you cast blame, it shows how sooo lame your values are. Blaming everything and excusing yourself only reveals your shallowness of thoughts and sense or reasoning. The world, as it were, does not celebrate processes, only products. Your story does not matter so long it ends in glory. Your value does not increase because you have an idea (we all do, too), your value increases per value you bring to the table. You are only celebrated for the results you comm
