Frankly, the impact of the Nirmala Chellarams mentoring, counseling and business advisory session tagged “Meet-A-Mentor” (Mentor’s Day) is still rolling in: I got this from one of my mentees after a deep, robust chat, open and sincere conversation from Zainab O. Gbenle . I had told her I’d love to read and edit her story or experience as it were from the one-on-one engagement from each of her mentors for the day. She obliged. One of her challenge was the lack of enthusiasm and all of the accompanied challenges you may think of when it comes to writing. This seem to be one of the reasons she’s on few social media platforms. I told her point blank: “If you want to be a good writer or improve on your writing, then you have to write. You must be interested and willing to write. Just write. The same is applicable to public speaking. As you write, you get better and better. You improve your writing skill by writing and writing daily and not by just wishing to write...

This is MY WORD FOR YOU today: It's either you move with the trend or extinct into oblivion. Tech is advancing, science is evolving, communication is changing rapidly, knowledge is increasing exponentially, there is a new form of media, business is going digital, ideas are going global, in fact, sale, marketing and commerce has gone "e". You can't afford not to up your game. Upgrade or get yourself degraded in the labour market. Majority are losing their jobs daily due to the less of value they can offer. If the skill-set you have is obsolete, get new skills before you get out of your job! Certificate is not enough, you need "skillsificate" and "sensificate" to navigate your way to the top! In such a time as this, it is either you diversify or die, be current and knowledgeable enough about your chosen field, or remain at the mercy or prospective employers, be well informed or remain deformed! Only change is constant. Life i...

“Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family”. -- Proverbs 18:24 (MSG) I for one do not have too many close friends. I have a lot of friends though, but I choose my close friends wisely. If I can call you my best friend, you must have pass the test of bringing the best in me overtime. I grew up having so many friends, but with the passage of time, the friendships faded away. Purpose separated us without our consent! But you among the very few, are still standing like rock! We share a lot of things in common though, that’s fine, and the reason, essentially, the longevity and the consolidation of my friendship with you all these years. Funny enough, we bear the same first name. Truly, every “Samuel” are great! You are a visionary leader, dogged, purposeful and spirit-filled. You are a mentor to the younger generation, a youth leader with a passion, ordained Pastor fulfilling purpose, God-lover, demon-damager-prayer-warrior! Oh, if ...

Pastors Taiwo & Nomthi Odukoya at Thursday showers, June 8, 2017. Beyond the beautiful worship and praise sessions, the testimonies of God’s proven faithfulness and the miracle meal otherwise known as communion rituals at Thursday Showers , is the ever fresh, refreshing and undiluted Word from God’s servant. This Thursday featured Pastor Nomthi Odukoya’s word of encouragement and the word and prophetic release from the set man of God, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya. Enjoy! In her short exaltation, reading from the book of St. Luke 16:10-12, Pastor Nomthi Odukoya shared some insightful thoughts on faithfulness in little things and being consistence in all endeavours including our tithes and offering, adding that even in our little income, if we find it difficult to give when we have N10,000, it will even be more difficult to give when we have N1,000,000. She said “In whatever we do, we need to be faithful, consistent and never give up because God re...

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...

So we had an impactful session yesterday at the “Kick-Start Your Business” Summit with the youth. Those that couldn't come, truly missed! I was the first speaker to that effect. And some of the thoughts I share served as a premise for other speakers to expound on. Yes, it was that expository like that. Lol. BTW, Prolific Stella’s session on “Starting Small the Right Way and Businesses To Start With Little or No Capital” and Sam Adewale’s (Mr. WEST) session on “The Powerful P’s You Need as an Entrepreneur” was super insightful. Sharing from my inspiring story on how I leveraged on my skills, mental prowess, doggedness and dedication to make money to fend for myself and support my education through school even as an undergraduate back then in school, and the motivation and drive that kept me going as a business man and a serial entrepreneur, below are cogent point to note: ·         -  Before starting out anything in life, you need a clear...

Hopelessness is not the cause of most suicides. It is preceded by a state of existence more superior. The precursor of suicide goes beyond the superficial happenstance and the seeming disappointment, backstab, betrayal and abuse that most people experience. The thought of taking ones life is a pointer and a conclusive proof of lose of hope an continual existence. The hopelessness of a man is as a result of the state of confusion and a deep-rooted frustration he finds himself. We ALL experience hopelessness at some points in our lives but that does not validate the idea that life is void of meaning, thus, why seize to exist? The meaning of life, essentially, is to live a life of meaning; a life worthy of emulation to the point that after one is long gone, society is greatful that he came. When a man lacks the courage to move on, and buy the idea that life is worthless and meaningless, when he gets to a point that he becomes clueless and indecisive; a state in his...
