I was at Warri, Delta State a couple of weeks ago at a Mega Business summit organised by Avenues to Wealth Nigeria. In attendance and speaking as well were Solomon James, Deolu Akinyemi and Prof. Pat Utomi. It was quite a big meeting covering areas like Asaba, Sapele and Ughelli. The hall, Mimi Suites Multipurpose hall was agog with singing, dancing and...

A lot happened in 2010 no doubt and a lot more is happening in 2011. This year started over a week ago and is racing to the middle of the first month. I just realized that I’d  been so caught up in activities this year that I’ve almost missed my goals. It’s quite akin to what we football lovers call  ”ball watching” on the field...

I had an exciting weekend. I undertook a road trip to Ilorin (South West, Nigeria) to meet with over 500 youths at a camp. I travelled with my mentor and along the way he suddenly discovered he had the lovely movie “Sound of Music” starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer on his new iPod. He showed it to me and we both smiled knowingly almost...

In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do. The worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt Funny isn’t it? My last post was on hating school. Now I’m hating again and the object of hating is my feeling. Everytime i think of writing a post this year, I end up not feeling like it. Almost everytime I...

Hi folks, I know you want to say “where have you been for all these months?” or ” How come you haven’t written a single article in 4 months?” I really don’t know the answer. I must admit quite honestly that even right now I don’t feel like or want to write anything. It’s not because there aren’t things to...

It seems like yesterday when we all shouted “Happy New Year!!!” It was the dawn of 2009. There were lots of promises and prophesies. My own church had a word that read like this ”2009: My year of signs, wonders, miracles and positive change.” Everyone was in high spirits. We all believed that even though the shadow of the economic...

Once upon a time there was war between Japan and China. It was quite a difficult war to fight not because other wars are simpler but because the similarities in the looks of the nationals of both countries was striking. It was an uphill task distinguishing between Japanese and Chinese. As a result, Chinese warriors accidentally shot fellow Chinese soldiers...

I came across this article in the newspapers while reading today and as I’d usually do, I decided to celebrate this guy as one of my own BUSAYOAKANRO.COM Heroes of the year in relation to the CNN Heroes of the year. His vision on empowerment and passion about making it happen at no monetary cost to the beneficiaries fits in well with my definition of a...

  I love and respect a few pastors around the world. I love a lot less of them in Nigeria because I feel their presence is not an indication of the presence of the kingdom of God contrary to what Jesus wanted to happen. Loads of them seem to practice what I call witchcraft. Get a crowd of people to submit and be loyal to you boy proving that the miracle working...

Hi guys, remember in The Best Medicine – 1, I wrote about the frustrated and disgruntled man who was at his wits end and suicidal until he went to see his doctor to complain and was instructed to do what he loved doing most when he was young (going to the seashore). He told him to stay there all day and first Listen (at 9 am) for three hours and then...
