"How We Lost Our Capacity to Innovate " : Okechukwu Ofili at TEDxYouth@M...

We sure do have great minds in Nigeria, one of which is Okechukwu Ofili's. He speaks on TEDx at Maitaima. I've watched and listened and do not think it wise not to tell anyone who cares to do the same. I would not say much this time, but this is straight talk for Nigeria to light up. Yes! Party this weekend but don't lose essence while at it. Watch the video and be inspired.

Morning Charge To My Fellow White Fowls (1)

Don't question me with your facial expression especially your eyebrows just yet, I'm just being a bit coy here and only those who understand the coded language would be more interested.

I never posted anything about my NYSC camp experience early this year, it happened on a location I had never been to and I'm sure none of my ancestors have ever been to - If anyone guesses the town right I would surely give the person a gift and announce on this blog- The  technology I took with me didn't favor me and I guess the environmental conditions also made me forget entirely about this blog (Really! I forgot about Thotstoshare?! *smh*). I didn't have a strategic plan to have fun but I did all the way. I joined the Orientation Broadcasting Service and they were my family, man! A big shout out to OBS crew. Yeah, yeah back to business. I was asked to take a brief morning charge on air by my head of programs department and this was what I prepared. With my croaky, early morning, just rising from bed, before the 'morning parade' bugle voice I read thus:

"The topic for today's morning charge is 'Destiny' read by Adeyinka Adefemi. Destiny is a predetermined course of events. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to cosmos. Destiny is used with regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out. Destiny is conceived as a predetermined future whether in general or of an individual"

That was how I was giving all kinds of definitions for destiny to white fowls who were trying to steal a little more sleep before the soldiers come to shout us out to the parade ground that morning. Unless you can stand a really long post.

MIDWEEK LUV: Nosa - Why You Love Me

Apart from the fact that this video was placed on Youtube on my mother's birthday, I'm loving the lyrics, message and style of the song. I'm also loving Nosa for his persevering personality that cannot be ignored. Oops! I just mentioned why I love 'Why You Love me'. You should listen and tell if and why you love Nosa's-Why You Love me, he really makes good soul with pidgin, he makes it sound like a really romantic language. MJADY!! Enough of the slips let these people enjoy the song abeg! Sorry bout all that guys, please enjoy!

How Divine Direction Saved My Life

When it comes to wealth, business strategies and success, people hardly believe God to be positively involved in it talk less of being the engineer of its success. The truth is, He is and here is a living testimony to that. This is a true story, in fact I see the person every week and I asked her to share her story with us. She agreed, so you'd better read, learn, ask questions and comment. The write up is short because that's all she could spare out of her really busy schedule in production of her product and her training facilitating. Her testimony could be an eye opener for you to succeed. Enjoy!

To God be the glory!!!

A few years after I graduated from the University, I gained employment in a bank. After working for five years, I felt unfulfilled and empty though I was well paid, I continued the job as to earn a living.

The Lord instructed me to resign from my banking job. He said that He wants to give me my own business, that He would make me a name and a praise from the business.

I immediately obeyed God and while waiting on the Lord, the Lord showed me a product - how to get the raw material - and showed me every detail concerning its production, packaging and marketing.

Today, this Nutritional Supplement has spread like wild fire, it has been adopted in most government hospitals, local government health centres, private hospitals and everywhere else. Today I'm an employer of labour and I'm blessed in my business.


Someone is being taught to make wealth, and being directed to that path by God, is that person you?

I Wish That I Knew

By Tolu Onasoga

As a young secondary school leaver gaining admission to the University a lot of mistakes I made, a lot of naive steps I took, a lot of silly mistakes I made, and looking back I wish I was told a lot of things before going to the tertiary stage of my education.

Majorly, I wish I was told of the kind of people I was going to meet there. All I was told was 'Don't keep bad company' but there's more to this as there are a lot of 'good company' that aren't good friends. I moved with good people but 'unserious' ones as this dragged me down at the easiest academic stage of my study. My first result taught me my lesson.

Also, I wished I was told how not to be so nice to people as they rarely ever reciprocate your deeds. Was and still really generous to my course mates to the point of giving out or sharing my last items i.e provisions and money, but when the need arises on my part they turn blind eyes, deaf ears and sometimes, even laugh at me. Painful. Learning to stop.

One other thing I wish was hammered before my advancement to the tertiary institution is me investing a great percentage of my time and resources into 'spirituality'. Hardly prayed or visited chapel of freewill, was almost always forced to until recently when i realized how much I have missed. Now, I strive to make up for lost time and  pray for God's grace and help.

Finally, I wish I was told to stop being such a shy wimpy person. Pushed away a lot of right people and now I wish I didn't. Now, I only have room mates, course mates, neighbors and church mates with no friends. That's not good enough,so i'm changing it.

These are among many things I wish I was taught or at least before hand. Other things are meager, things that I learnt to live with or changed easily or just don't matter. Hope these would be learnt from.
Thank you.
