Busayo Akanro – Light does not shine in light

Can your life drastically improve in the next one year? Did it, in the last one year? What are you prepared to do differently?

Let’s not fool ourselves, things are not likely to suddenly progress and transform you into success or greatness without doing something you didn’t want to, or think you can do before! Don’t read this mail, don’t take action based on what you read, and I can guarantee your life will continue the way it did before you started. Act however, and you may discover that you have untapped potentials for unique achievement and greatness. (more…)

I’ve been on vacation from my website for too long this year. I should be flogged for it. While I berate myself for that, I can’t certainly say I’m totally unhappy with myself for the other vacations I’ve been on this year and how Holidays and Cash has made it possible.

Towards the end of last year, I felt I needed a vacation for myself and decided to take one. (more…)

Hi Everyone, I wish you all a very prosperous new year. I saw a news flash this morning that stated that Americans were not optimistic at all about a good 2010 but I assure you that if you trust in God and do His word, He’ll single you out for outstanding revelations on what to do in a failing world economy that’ll guarantee your immense success this year without a shadow of doubt. I watched a movie in the last few days of 2009 and want to share my thoughts about that movie. (more…)

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 write, it’s just because I feel quite unmotivated and unworthy to write them. Anyway, I’m writing now ain’t I? So please just bear with me and read on…this will bless you.

I once heard about the parable of the monkeys. Once upon a time (more…)

I once read about a story that talked about freedom. Once upon a time, some circus workers captured a baby elephant from its family in the amazon jungle of South America. This elephant was very aggressive and violent towards its captors. It resented deeply its forced seperation from its mother and the rest of its family. It fought its captors bravely but unsuccessfully and they were able to subdue it a little, bind its legs and carry it on a horse drawn cart to the circus camp. (more…)

Africa has been dubbed the untouched and virgin continent. This was due to the seeming unscathing of African countries in the global meltdown that characterised the latter part of 2008. African seems to have escaped almost wholly from the economic recession that hit the world and crushed many countries and multinationals in other continents of the world. Iceland is bankrupt, auto makers in the US are bankrupt; Mega Banks in UK, Japan, Switzerland, US, Belgium, Germany and many other countries of the world would have gone under but for aid from their governments. Albeit, many banks have still being crushed in the wake of the recession.

However, Nigeria for one has been touched by the recession. Even though the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria has kept assuring Nigerians that we are beyond the reach of the economic whiplash swinging across the globe, happenings in our own economy are pointers to the fact that his assurances hold no water. Examples are: (more…)

Once upon a time, 10 virgins were chosen to meet the bridegroom at a certain marriage ceremony in Israel. For some unstated reason, the bridegroom didn’t seem to be arriving and the virgins started getting apprehensive. Actually, in the custom that existed in Israel, the bridegroom usually arrived late at night with his friends to take his bride. The bride usually has maids of honour or bride’s maids as the case may be who at the arrival of the bridegroom go out to meet him with their lamps in their hands to light his way into the house where his bride is. The key element of the bride’s maids is the lamp that provides light for the bridegroom and his envoy. (more…)

I am attending a meeting somewhere in Ilorin where one of my mentors, Fela Durotoye reiterated that Nigeria by 2025 will undoubtedly be the most desirable Nation to live in. As far reaching as this is, I am absolutely certain of its veracity, not only because he said God told him so but because I sense it in my innermost being. Events that will make this possible may not necessarily be progressive, they may be instantaneous. They may not necessarily be step-wise; they may well be revolutionary. While I’ll deign to bore you with what may bring or may not bring this word to pass on this great Nation, I’ll like you to consider the report released on the 16th of November, 2008 by Merrill Lynch – a foremost economic institution in the world.

This morning I heard a report on the news that the price of crude oil on the international market has dropped to below $50 per barrel. Ofcourse, this is a fall out of the recession that has been on going in the World now for several weeks. What is happening is that the order for crude oil has dropped desperately because many more countries, organisations and people around the world don’t have the extra to pay for crude oil derivatives. (gas, diesel etc.). Crude Oil price due to this situation has hit a 3yr low and could go lower. The fact that OPEC hasn’t sufficiently cut down on production to create scarcity in the market isn’t helping at all. (more…)
