Finding a means to balance situations in our lives might seem impossible and stressful as time goes on, but you would recognise that it is the optimal recipe for an enjoyable life.

MORE THAN “A HANDFULL OF MEN”
The allies spent over two years planning the invasion of Normandy but on “D- day”, the fate of the world was decided by a handful of men on strips of beaches.

A ladder for a bushel.
When you are fully formed, your plans and actions are reliant on what you want out of life. My choice is to be a ladder for a bushel, and a lantern to many more I have a multitude depending on me and expectations will never diminish. If I fail, many will flounder; struggle to recover….

REACHING FOR THE MAXIMUM WAGE
Nigerians are a unique set of people. We defy the laws of nature on several fronts; most notably the law that “whatever goes up must come down”. People climb to the peak of power and refuse to come down. The price of goods and services are arguably one directional-“up”. Suffice it to say we…
