Money? Hmmm, that’s a word that sends fear and shivers of excitement at the same time. In 2003, I graduated from the Federal University of Technology. In 2004, we convocated and by September that year I’d proceeded to serve my fatherland at Omagwa, one of the rural areas in Rivers State, Nigeria. I’d affiliated […]
I had been invited to the church to share with some youth on how they could better their craft by embraceing the digital world and help themselves financially. I was in high spirits because I always love to talk about how the digital world, especially social media, helped me to become the brand that […]
“I’m an engineer. I work with Halliburton.” “I’m an ophthalmologist. I work with the teaching hospital here.” “I’m a businessman.” From where I sat at the table, I smiled sheepishly because I remembered how I used to do it many years ago, exactly the way I heard them do it. I had been invited […]

On the 18th of November, all members of my nuclear family gathered. Me, my dad, my mum, and four of my siblings. We had assembled at the village home to carry out a spiritual activity. It happened that my sister and her hubby had been having strange dreams repeatedly concerning the antics of my great […]
I was struck by chickenpox and so I confined myself to my room. I gave myself over to listening to podcasts on my newly installed Podcast Go app on my phone. While listening, I was interrupted by an Instagram notification – Tai Lopez was live. This was at about 6 a.m. I quickly clicked it and began to […]
To attract clients into your business should be an overarching concern for you. When I was rejected and called an economic risk by a publishing company, I was lightened in my heart when they mentioned that they published a leading pentecostal pastor in my city, David Ibiyeomie. That reference they made sent me on a […]
When I travelled to Italy, I decided to do something for my fiancee. I didn’t know her body size, but I had her pictures with me. When I stepped into that boutique in Southern Italy, I looked around with my phone in my hand, checked out the girls who served in there, and picked […]
