HOW HUNGRY ARE YOU?
-By Owen Gee-

Had to share this, especially for the nitwit new TALENT out there…


Have you ever seen Jimmy Jatt play? Outside the reputation being the earliest to arrive any venue, he plays like it is his last gig. Like his life depends on it.
His skill seems to step up a notch with each performance. The crowds’ response is often the undeniable affirmation that king DJ Jimmy Jatt has still got it.
Why is this remarkable? Because Jimmy has been doing his thing for over 20 years and his success has not slowed down his push for excellence. When he looks in the mirror, the last thing he sees is a big boy who has arrived. He doesn’t need to be affiliated to a label or radio station to get props, a self made overachiever yet his hunger is scary.
The most talked about player across the world this weekend is also the richest (past and present) African footballer ever. He owns an entire telecoms network in Cameroun. Yet the fire in his belly leaves him in form for a hat-trick. Playing like he was being auditioned.
Now you, how much have you done? Is this the zenith of your dreams? Are you easily overwhelmed by the distance between where you started and where you are?
If so, be careful. These things vanish in an instance. The spirit of the “big boy is anti greatness” that is why most of the big boy comedians in Nigeria are half as funny as these new comic acts. Why first albums are often always the best albums.
That is why 17 years later 2face is still eating with his grandchildren in music. HUNGER…HUNGER makes the difference I ask again. How hungry are you?

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...

FREE MEAL, THE KILLER OF PERSONAL GREATNESS! “As mosquitoes cause malaria so free food leads to walking pneumonia in the operating system of our inner confidence. To get the lift, pay the bill. No free meal.” -Iziaq Olawale- As a bachelor who speaks across the country and beyond in his verge to add value through his business of MINDgineering and encouragement, my experience in some restaurants from highly rated ones in Victoria island to the so – called mama put on the mainland even in some bukas/local restaurants at Shibiri, Ojo Lagos has taught me some indispensable lessons which I’ll like to share with you today. As I visit some local restaurants in the city, I observed that some of them usually ask for money before service while others do allow you to pay your bill after service. The yorubas would say; ejo, esan owo yin o boda/uncle/aunty/daddy or mummy. Depends on your age and appearance while the non – Yorubas would say; oga, abeg, your money. As I g...
