BEING DIFFERENT

       Being different is a matter of being special, it is standing out in the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon. Show me a man that does things differently and I will show you the making of a hero. life does not recognize an ordinary citizen but the extraordinary.    I am not moved by the number of mistakes you have made,i am only moved by the number of times you have taken those steps differently or the number of times you have repeatedly reshapen the way it is being done.     Arise and join me in the making of a citizen with a difference.

INVESTMENT

Image
    Investment is the action or process of investing money for profit. Everything in life rises and falls on investments. As a man begin to make His millions or billions in life, the next thing He needs to start thinking of is investment.    WHAT ARE YOU TO INVEST ON - Invest in Real Estate:In the 19th century there is this popular saying that He that owns the Real Estate owns the wealth. That saying is still potent till today. -Invest on your wife-As a man begin to approach marital stage you need to invest so much on your wife that you will receive Her blessings. -Invest on your children:If there is anything at all you should not forget to invest in when you are still young and agile,it is your children. This is one of the highest investment in life,because as you are approaching 60's and 70's,you will not be able to make the money you were making like the time you were young. So it is very important to invest in your children. -Invest on non-current Assets...

HAPPINESS

Image
    Happiness means different things to different people.Happiness is scientifically defined as a combination of how satisfied you are with your life and how good you feel on a daily basis.    50 percent of your happiness is determined genetically. 40 percent of your happiness is controlled by your thoughts, actions and behaviours. Only 10 percent of your happiness is determined by what happen to you and your circumstances(No matter what is happening,you can choose to be happy now).       Happiness is a skill with constant practice. Happy people have better immunity against diseases. Happy people have lower rate of heart related diseases.Happy people heal faster after injuries. Happy people do better at their job and their studies. Happy people have better relationships with others. Happy people give more and get more. Happy people help others more. Happy people are better problem solvers.       You can be happier if yo...

GIVING

Image
           The word giving is culled from the word give and give originated from gifts. Bishop David Oyedepo said "Giving is living". Your success in life is not in the abundance of the things you possess.     The holy book says. "Give and it shall be giving unto you,Good measure, press down shaking together and runing over shall men give unto your bossom". Readers I challenge you today to have a positive mindset of giving.     That your neighbour whose children go to school with torn uniforms that cost only 10,000.Have you ever thought of sowing a seed into their life? That your friend who just flashed you because of lack of airtime,Have you try sending 100 or 200 naira airtime to such person?. The seed you sow will one day speak for you. What you sow is what you will reap.   Instead of sending Whatsapp messages on your status or facebook messages telling me about Jesus Loves me and how Jesus Loves me and threaten...

DON'T WRITE YOURSELF OFF

Image
Few weeks ago, I was driving on Apapa-Oshodi expressway and stopped briefly under the Ilasamaja Bridge to pick a call. Suddenly, a Danfo bus pulled up beside me, the bus conductor jumped out and landed by my side. I was about to be robbed! However, the conductor had other plans... 'Oshodi Oshodi Oshodi o...' I heaved a sigh of relieve and breathed deeper, then I saw a guy I'd known for long. Years of separation couldn't play on me any trick. He was one of the brightest guy in our class, and had won for us a couple of Inter-School competition. He was of a modest middleclass family that valued education and when he says a word is 'adjectival proverb' or 'future present past participle', we dared not argue because he was usually right. Always ahead. He had a way of mentally working out complex mathematical equations without writing. He was a silent threat to the 'booboo' teachers and would sometimes challenge their answers' which later ...

THINK LIKE THE BLACKS, ACT LIKE THE WHITES 4

The white man thought you how to use waste as manure or fertilizer, They never thought me how to recycle my waste. My white brother gave me a pen,  and never thought me how to make the ink never dry. My Fellow white brother thought me how to use a computer and phone, you never thought me how to make one. I am not angry with the white neither am I sorry for the black. Negro slaves will remain slave forever, if they refuse to teach my  white fellow, how to use a gun powder. Negro will remain old, if they refuse to live in the land of their fathers Black monkeys will die poor, If they refuse to teach my white brothers how to discover (gold, diamond,nickel crude oil and rubber ). Black monkeys will die shamelessly,  if the white brother never hunt for them The negro is still not free in the land of their survivors, The only journey a black monkey has never thought the white bororo, Is how to go on a journey of no return. I AM A LIVING DEAD When shall my white brothers...

THINK LIKE THE BLACKS, ACT LIKE THE WHITES 3

How long shall we continue to sail in the ship of our sailors,  When what they have to do is to land safely. Why won’t they make you believe in assassination, Because they know how to keep a man forever My white fellows have never buried a dead in my sight, But thought us how to make and use a casket. The white man thought you how to act a film, But never thought you how  an actor lives forever. I am not angry with my white bothers. I only want to proof a point.  That the only difference between black or white is CHOICE Are you white or black ? If you choose black, Where you born black? If it is white, Can you explain to me why your hair is not black. WRITTEN BY:OJAJUNI EMMANUEL

THINK LIKE THE BLACKS,ACT LIKE THE WHITES 2

The white men thought us how to use chip, They never thought us how to make one. The white men thought us how to lead, They never thought us how to follow. The white men thought us how to bury our dead, They never thought us how to keep the living forever The white men thought us how to make heaven, They never thought us how to live without hell fire. The white men thought us how to cook, They never thought us how eat without a fire. The white men thought us how to drive, They never thought us how to make a car. My white brothers thought them how to fly, They never thought them what fly look like. My white fellow thought the black monkeys how to shave their beard, They never thought them how to keep their beard. WRITTEN BY: OJAJUNI EMMANUEL

THINK LIKE THE BLACKS, ACT LIKE THE WHITES 1

The white men call us black monkeys We refuse to call them white monkeys  The white gave us fishes They never thought us how to fish.  The white men thought us how to use white board, They invented white board. The white call us black negros, We refuse to call them white negros. The white man give us a gun to kill and hunt ourselves, They never thought us how to hunt and kill them.  The white man gave us black polish for black shoe, They never give us white polish for white shoe.  The white men gave us white tile and water closet,  They never gave us black water closet and tiles.  The white men thought us how to tame ourselves, But never thought us how to tame them.

WHO SAID READERS ARE LEADERS?

Image
Jola Tankoka Mar 25 What President Harry S Truman actually said: “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.”   Then boom, one I-don’t-know-who from I-don’t-know-where reduced it to, and publicized “Readers are leaders.” Let me tell you this, reader: Your prosperity is in the other people. To be a leader is to lead other people, and books are isolating you from them. I have friends who read a hundred books a year. I’ve heard rumors of some people who read more than that. I have not yet achieved that feat and I do not hope to, but I have read enough to know that books can sap your energy and make you lose faith in humanity and the humans you strive to lead. You become a writer by writing, not by reading how to write. You learn a language by speaking it, not by reading about it and consuming its theories. You become a leader by leading, not by reading how to lead. You become anything by being that thing, not by reading how to be tha...

MAN AND HIS PLACE

     Everything in life rises and falls on the place of a man. From my little experience in life,I have come to discover that every man has a place and someone said that in your place you will find grace and outside your place is disgrace. Some peoples place is music that is why they will keep on flourishing if you put them there,if you take them outside music they are doomed. Some people places are: medicine,acting,presenting,fashion designing,painting,carpentry e.t.c. It is one thing to be in your place,its another for you not to be disgraced. Show me a man that has found His place in life and I will show you the man that will never be disgraced. The question you should be asking now is Where is my place? What problem am I on earth to solve?. Then you can begin to venture into what you know how to do best after which you convert the ideas you have to cash. It is not about getting the money first but when you come out with your own style,you will catch the worlds a...

THE MAKING OF GENERALS

        Champions are not only made in the ring but are recognized in the ring.Generals are not only made in the parade ground but they are made at the war front. There is no General without a scar. A general without a scar will soon be deranked. Life's battle does not go to the stronger or faster man but sooner or later the man that wins is the man that thinks He Can. Whether you think you can or you can you are right. Every general is at the peak. When you get to the top,you will become the topic,and when you become the topic you will surely attain. the peak. As a general it is not about getting the money first but when you come out with your own style you will catch peoples attention after which the money will come. Discipline they say is the soul of an Army. Without discipline you are not qualified to be a general.    Self-discipline is important in life.Generals are hardworking people even the holy book says that"Seeth thou a man dilligent in His ...

DREAMS

      The dreamer is the man that dream dreams and even in the holy book it is said that young men shall see vision and old men shall dream.But I want to charge you all that your dream can never be killed. Kill the dreamer and I will show you the living dream. Don't relate big dreams to small men and don't relate small dreams to big men. Remember the words of Marthin Luther King jnr. "I have a dream" He also said "The dream of our founding fathers is still alive in our time" The America Marthin Luther dreamt of came alive in the time of Barrack Obama. The dreamer can be killed but that very dream of yours can never die. I have a dream that one day Men will come from all over the world to queue at their various embassy to apply for Nigeria Visa. The vision is yet for an appointed Time. Show me a dreamer and I will show you a man that will live forever. Dreams are not for mediocre,it is for those that have a picture of the future. Give a dreamer an inch a...

THE LEADING SERVANT

    In every man is embedded a gift of leadership but not everyone will eventually become a leader. There are 3 things that defines a leader they include: Character,Influence and power. A man without a good character is not fit to lead. Attitude they say determines altitude.Power is good but influence is better. Those that possess influence owns the power. Power they say corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.          Where character and power cannot take you influence will. The litty-gritty of leadership is embedded in influence.The most influential men of our time possesses power and controls it. Influence is about serving. The reason we cannot all be leaders is because not everybody is ready to be a leading-servants. Leadership is about serving. Influence will teach u to serve.          Men that rule are much,men that serve are rare. When you learn how to serve you will know how to lead. Learn to serve those y...

THE LEADING CLASS

Image
    The fact that you have small stature does not disqualify you to be leader,on the other hand,the fact that you have a huge stature does not guarantee your being a leader.The fact that you came form a poor background,does not stop you form getting to the leading class,on the other hand the fact that you are from a poor background does not disqualify you to be leader.        Until you have the idea to move our people forward to change the world you are not qualified to lead unless you are ready to read and possess the idea to lead.Dress like a leader,walk like a leader,eat like a leader,speak like a leader,read like a leader and before you know you will find yourself in the leading class. The leading class is not a class for those that are not ready take the risk,it is not for the weak, it is not for those that are not willing to face the challenge,it is not for those that are unable to lead the class. The leading class is for those that have a ...

THE RACE OF LIFE

      The problem with many Nigerians that made them kept starting the same journey over and over again. That is why some families can never be up to some others. Are you not tired of keeping the same surname everywhere you go and it does not carry weight,are you not feeling that your fathers name is becoming out dated. Don't you think you need to go beyond limit, think outside the box launch into the deep and become the next star to be celebrated in the world of success.        Don't you feel surprised,amazed and dazzled when you see young guys and ladies of your country in their early 20s and 30s already commanding respect in their own little corner by doing what they knew how to do best. Your greatest question have been,How are they doing it? How they are doing it is not a function of age,it is not a function of who you know, it is not a function of your background, it is not a function of your friends,it is not a function of strength, it is a func...

DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERCEPTION

     The term mindset should not bother you at all. The concept of mindset (mind programming) can be likened to computer programming.The gusto towards achieving a definite aim solely depends on the mindset.          In Robert Kiyosakis  Rich Dad Poor Dad ,  he compared the mindset of his fathers, the rich one and the poor one. While one believed that money is the root of all evil, the other believed that lack of money is the root of all evil. The former remained poor till his death while the other left possessions behind. A man who believes that being in the position of political authority makes a man unclean can never hold a political post regardless of the effort made by the people around him.      If you say to yourself, ‘‘I am a good medical doctor’’, your actions will be directed towards that path. The same notion is applicable when you say, ‘‘I want to be a good doctor’’. I’ll explain; saying...
