@Still Worth It: Why Education Remains a Wise Investment in a Tough Nigeria

@Still Worth It: Why Education Remains a Wise Investment in a Tough Nigeria It is easy to ask, “What is the point of education in Nigeria today?” when PhD holders beg for jobs, graduates roam the streets, and some school dropouts seem to be swimming in success. In a nation where systems often fail and effort isn’t always rewarded, the question seems valid. Yet, beneath the frustration lies a deeper truth—education may not always guarantee wealth, but ignorance guarantees more hardship. Let us speak clearly and boldly: certificates are not useless. They are not worthless. They are simply no longer enough on their own. The world has shifted, and the definition of success has expanded beyond formal schooling. Yet that shift is not a signal to abandon learning—it is a call to redefine how we learn, why we learn, and what we do with what we learn. Going to school is not just about big grammar or sitting in an office. It is about sharpening your thinking, expanding your worldview, and develo...

@Youth And The Weight Of Legacy

Image
@Youth And The Weight Of Legacy The future does not begin tomorrow. It begins the moment a young mind dares to believe it holds something precious to pass on. In the silence of a generation lies a burden—a noble one—wrapped in memory, mission, and meaning. That burden is legacy. Not the kind engraved in statues or sealed in vaults, but the kind carried in hearts, decisions, and daily actions. A legacy is not only what elders leave behind; it is also what youths begin to build. Each time you rise from failure with resilience, speak the truth amidst pressure, or reach out to help others flourish—you are laying a brick in the foundation of legacy. It is not too early to think of impact. It is not too late to start again with intent. The weight of legacy is not a punishment. It is a privilege. It is what transforms ordinary youth into extraordinary stewards of value. Those who understand this weight do not waste time chasing fleeting trends. They anchor their lives on timeless virtues—hono...

@Rural Empowerment

@Rural Empowerment – Global Impact Commemorating World Rural Development Day 2025 There are places where the sun rises not only on fields but also on dreams. Where the rhythm of the hoe is in sync with the heartbeat of a people. Where hands, though weathered, hold the power to feed, clothe, and build a nation. These places are not always featured in glossy magazines or bustling cityscapes. They are rural communities—the silent engines of global development. Today, July 6, 2025, as the world commemorates World Rural Development Day with the resonant theme "Rural Empowerment – Global Impact," we shift the spotlight to those often overlooked, yet never insignificant. This is not just a day on the calendar—it is a call to acknowledge, amplify, and activate the potentials embedded deep within rural landscapes. Rural empowerment is not charity. It is a conscious decision to equip, enable, and elevate. It is about granting access—not only to resources but to dignity. It is about sup...

@Your Time Will Speak

Image
@Your Time Will Speak You do not have to shout to be heard. You do not have to force open every door. You do not have to mimic the noise of others to prove your worth. When it is your time, your time will speak—and it will speak louder than any voice raised against you. There is something powerful about the silent seasons. The times when your efforts seem unnoticed. The moments when your light feels hidden behind clouds. Those are not wasted days; they are wombs of becoming. Growth often happens underground. Destiny does not bloom in a rush. It matures in secret, then shows forth in splendour. You may feel overlooked. You may have been misjudged, misread, or even underestimated. Yet, none of these cancel the authenticity of your calling. Delay is not denial. Hiddenness is not hopelessness. Every seed of diligence you plant in the soil of consistency is preparing your day of unveiling. Your time is not lost. It is loading. Comparison is a thief of contentment. Looking sideways will only...

@Not Every Door Is Your Stage

@Not Every Door Is Your Stage: Discernment in Leadership Exposure Leadership is not a quest for visibility. It is a call to responsibility. In an age where platforms multiply and applause is just a click away, many young leaders are trading discernment for display, mistaking every open door as divine direction. There is wisdom in knowing that not every door is your stage. Some are detours, others are distractions—few are truly destiny-aligned. You see, opportunities are not always blessings. They can be tests, traps, or even tools for self-sabotage when entered without clarity. The fact that you were invited doesn’t mean you were appointed. The fact that you are gifted doesn’t mean every gathering is your ground to perform. Real leaders discern. They don’t just ask “Can I?”, they ask “Should I?” In leadership, exposure without readiness leads to embarrassment. A microphone in the wrong hand becomes a weapon. A spotlight on an unprepared soul becomes a magnifier of flaws. Influence is n...

@The Passport Is Not a Prayer Point

@The Passport Is Not a Prayer Point There is a growing irony in many nations today — especially within the developing world — where the national passport has transitioned from being a symbol of identity to a sacred relic in waiting rooms of hope. In churches, mosques, and prayer circles, citizens lift their passports with trembling hands, beseeching divine intervention as though that small book of paper holds the keys to heaven. This is not just desperation; it is disorientation. A passport should be proof of origin, not an object of escape. It should affirm belonging, not stir anxiety. A strong nation builds the kind of confidence where her citizens travel not to flee, but to explore, contribute, and return. The moment a nation’s young begin to see their passport as their last prayer request, the leaders must ask themselves: What have we done to our people’s dreams? The dream of many citizens is no longer to build, innovate, or contribute within their homeland. It is to ‘japa’. To lea...

@July Dawns With New Light

@July Dawns With New Light A new month greets us, dear trailblazer. July steps in with the poise of promise and the rhythm of renewal. It is more than a shift in calendar pages; it is a divine nudge — to rise, to reset, and to reclaim the vigour that weariness may have worn down. Each new month is a chapter, and July pens its opening lines with golden ink. The sun seems brighter, not just overhead, but within your spirit. This is a time to realign with what truly matters — your values, your voice, your vision. The year may be halfway gone, yet your story is far from over. Like a sculptor midway through a masterpiece, July hands you the chisel once more. There’s still time to shape, to build, and to shine. Those goals you penned in January — they are not expired dreams. They are still valid, still within reach. Let this be your mid-year uprising. Dust off your determination. Refuel your faith. Reflect, yes — but don’t remain stuck in retrospection. Reach forward. Rewrite the narrative i...
