FIND YOUR PLACE
“I have a dream that from teen ages, African children will find their ‘place’ and be sent to the school of their ‘place’ and graduate in the discipline of their ‘place’. So that when they leave school, the African youth will find jobs in their ‘place’ or build businesses in their place. This will help create a better society, and also reduce unemployment drastically.”
By Remi Dairo

If you don’t find your place you will be misplaced. It is only in your place that you can find the grace for the race of life. Your place has a divine advantage; it is where your prosperity lies, and where your celebration awaits you. Your place is where you are paid for having fun for what you enjoy doing. Your place is where you don’t look for money but money keeps looking for you. Stop! Check yourself; are you in your place?
One of the major challenges many developing countries face today is that they have a large workforce engaged in some form of work that doesn’t reflect the innate potential of the workforce. Millions of Nigerian workers go to work every day, earn the proverbial daily bread, but are not in their ‘place’. I usually say that these categories of people are ‘jobbing’ not working.
A nation depends on its government, while the government depends on its workforce (workers) to drive the economy that will enhance the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The prosperity of a nation, no doubt, is largely dependent on the workforce. What therefore is the prospect of a nation when majority of the workforce are not in their ‘place?’ What do we do in this crisis situation?
Let me quickly say that the development of any nation is dependent on the revolution of small business owners. Industrialization takes place when individuals venture into their ‘places’ and blossom.
Another challenge developing countries face today is that they have many businessmen engaged in business (more like the act of buying and selling) but are not operating in their various ‘places’. They make money but the depth of wealth is not revealed to them. So they live from hand to mouth, unable to impact on the economy as they should.
It seems fairly obvious that the reason for the high rate of unemployment in Africa is due to the fact that our educational system is not built on students finding their ‘place’ and studying to actualise the prospects therein. What they study is totally different from who they really are. This may cause them to be on the streets for a long time seeking employment.

FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery. I ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrée in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...

I FEEL FLY WHENEVER I SEE MY DESIGN OUTSIDE THE REACH OF AFRICA. “When he left ehnnn, my people, I cried, cried, cried and cried. And to make it worst, am to resume everyday in my school uniform as the uniform for the fashion designing......that Man ehnnn!” Really I do not know where to start from but let me start with a story I will always tell my kids and grandchildren. Growing up was not too easy for me because I was stubborn and I had a disciplinarian and a strict man as a father. He will always force me to study at night before sleeping and in the morning before going to school, but me, ehnnn, I don't like this thing they call book. NAH! NAH! But one thing I can do WELL is SKETCHING, sewing dresses for dolls and anything handy and outside reading but not reading even story books makes me sleep. So it happen that one day after end of second term in JSS 3, I was given my report card and it was written 'advice to go to commercial class' instead of S...
