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...

GIVE YOUR TALENT A ROOM FOR GERMINATION AND FRUITING! “I didn't have to stumble and grope stealthily in the darkness, stride recklessly on the rocky paths or swim nonchalantly in the murky waters. Neither did I gamble with the hypothetical cards, nor stroll through life at ease with no aim and subjected to all whims and caprice.” By Olajumoke Hadassah It wasn't a submission to hobby, desires and ambitions!

DESTINY & PRODUCTIVITY By Remi Dairo Good morning friends! I found out that nobody is actually a failure, nobody is born lazy, nobody want to live a life without result. Nobody! The truth is: your maximum productivity is hidden in your destiny. The question here is how does your destiny affects your productivity? 1. Find what you love to do: What you love to do is a signal to what you are sent on earth to do. Find that thing that you will do again and again if nobody gives you a kobo. What is that thing that excites you? What is that thing that keeps you alive even when everyone is tired? That is the pointer to your destiny. The good news is that anytime you do such, your productivity increases! 2. Find whose problem you love to solve: I understand you don't feel like solving everybody's problem.
