NAIJA YOUTHS ARENA

               One thing you must understand early as a youth is that success is holistic . That means it it all round, there are few things that are absolutely necessary for a happy and fulfilled life, These are the things you must strive to get right and be a success at. Everything else may be needed as just additions. If you fail in one key area of your life, all other areas will be affected . even your other successes will be over shadowed by this one failure, your life will not be the sweetest and happiest, you will not love your life lived in the end. Regret will be inevitable.       People are clamouring for many things, fighting legally and illegally so succeed in different endeavours, but only few things really do matter. Have you discovered them? Everything doesn't weigh the same in importance. People have areas of their lives that are critical to their success and ultimate joy in life in...

              I hear it being debated very often " must everyone go to school "? People aptly support their argument against by stating the fact that most graduates are poor and Jobless while some of the richest men in the world where school dropouts.        That can be a valid argument against going to school if indeed making money and becoming wealthy is the sole aim of getting into school,  and for the graduates that are Jobless, a lot of factors are responsible which we will consider.        The fact that some people never got educated even when they went to school and the truth of government involvement in Job creation should not be blamed on the school system. The curriculum is not as helpful but still, people get what they need from the system when engaged with the appropriate activities and mindset. Not wanting to make an argument for going to school, I jus...

          Everyone pursues success in life. Success in one endeavor or another. It is human nature to seek to succeed, success signifies growth which is a major characteristic of all living things.        Failure on the other hand is dreaded. Nobody embarks on a project and hopes to fail in the end, Even when failure is seen as part of the cumulative process leading to success, nobody still enjoys to fail. It is painful and undesirable. But if handled appropriately one can harness the potentials of previous failures  to ultimately win.      The essence of this post is to highlight the first principles of success that will ensure we eventually win irrespective of the enterprise we are engaged in.

                There is a saying that if you want anything hidden from a Blackman, put it in a book. That is because he will never come across it in that he never reads. Someone may say "what an insult to the blacks"  but the truth is that I gnorance is the number 1 problem of the black man and with ignorance cones it's elder brother "poverty". Poverty is the major identifiable problem everyone wants to address in Africa, but it's root cause is ignorance and illiteracy. Lack of relevant information.     Knowledge, is referred to as light, and with it comes civilization and development. Knowledge from Information develops and equips the mind. It sharpens the person  and positions him for creativity and value creation. With value creation comes wealth generation and societal influence     Lack of information is ignorance which is synonymous with darkness. Ignorance is a disease especially of...

         In this season of unsuitable economic conditions, there is a need to track ones expenses, to know where money is going to and what it is being spent so that we can curtail unnecessary spending and wastage. We can use our money more meaningfully and it can last longer. The unreasonable unemployment level in our society calls for youths who are starting up I  life to do something proactive about their financial lives    Saving money and accumulating it to be used in some business venture or investment is a necessity for Nigerian youths.

             poor has been described as an acronym for passing over opportunities repeatedly. It is not that only the poor are disadvantaged in one way or the other, but they choose to let their situations determine their realities. Their are numerous other people in the same situations or worse who have risen above that and succeeded, beating poverty and mediocrity.              I am not being unsympathetic to the plight of the poor, but one thing is certain.

             If you cannot save money, you cannot build wealth . I don't care how old you are or how much you earn. As a student, you are probably struggling with not having enough money to meet important needs and still invest in your financial future. You may have seen the need to save money to be able to invest in a business or even a project. Money enters your hands "onww and off", but you end up not saving anything at all with the excuse that is was not enough. But when you look back, you will find that huge amount of money have actually passed through your hands with no savings or investment to show for it. Another fact against you is that there are several other people (am sure you know one or two of them) who receive far less money than you do from there parents or Guardians who live off the little money they have and still have good savings. Some of them have gone ahead to do great things with the accumulated little savings the...
