There is a fight for your dream. It is a fight of faith; a fight for the future. “This is because every dream, vision and destiny will be contested for.” Dreams do not come true because you dreamt; they come true because you are willing to fight. No truly great man exists who has never experienced something that attempted to defeat him and his dream. Every great man in history and contemporary times will tell you that there were times and events that confronted them and made them to almost give up. But they never did. Your dreams will be contested for by the events, situations and circumstances of life.

To understand the adult that I have become, you need to meet the child that I used to be. Within every woman dwells the little child who preceded her. Adulthood is rooted in childhood. Many of the thoughts, ideologies and resolutions that we imbibe came from our early experiences as children. All the frui...

Today my book, “Survival of the Fittest” was released!   INTRODUCTION: The walk to survival is a long way. Rhythm must not be broken. My resolve to produce this material is stemmed from my desire to let you understand the terrain we play in, the conspiracy against us, the socio-political landscape of Nigeria and the survival strategies of these times. I will take you down the memory lane to show you how the mistakes of yesteryears have produced undone youths and unfinished men with crooked ambitions and how our journey has been defined by a major error. Any nation that produces more vagabonds than leaders must be ready to manage a generation of idiots. Democracy will begin to work when our curriculum is designed in such a way that it builds the leadership capacities of its products. As a 21 st century Nigerian youth, your future is dead on arrival. You are an endangered species and your survival is based on your response to the new rules of engagem...
