One thing I never cease to tell young people each time I have the opportunity is Nigeria is a blessed land; it’s a place of immeasurable opportunities, a training ground, a place to make the whole difference you’ve ever dreamt of in your life. I dare say if you can make it here, there is nowhere in the world you can’t make it.
I had the choice of staying in my parents comfortable home country (well to those of you who don’t know, know it now, my parents are Bahamian, Ghanaian & Nigeria), but I choose Naija, I told myself a long time ago I wanted to feel what it means to be independently hardworking and succeeding at it; today, am glad am making so much difference, even though there is still room for much more. No matter where I am, or would be, I say always that Nigeria is an inspiration to me, it’s a source of blessing to be in this country...though I love my parent home country and the joy of visiting always is mind blowing and fun, Nigeria is always different, the heat of succeeding is here and when you are here you know there is only one thing that is negotiable...just one way...just one option..SUCCEEDING!
Much as it has become a cliché, the only change in life is change itself, don’t expect to do the same things you were doing last year and for a different result. lf you were sleeping 8 hours last year and made 1kobo, don’t expect to make 2kobo by sleeping same hours...if you want to make a change or rather have that change in your life this year, then I encourage you, ARISE, TAKE HOLD OF YOUR DESTINY, for CHANGE IS NOW!
Don’t wait for anyone to encourage you, you have to psyche yourself up, tell yourself ‘I can do it’. There is no word such as impossible, if they tell you it is impossible, Please, kindly don’t ever forget they are actually trying to tell you that I’M’POSSIBLE, not IMPOSSIBLE’, you are the only possibility the world had waited for all this while, now that you are here, would you be selfish and wicked enough to deprive the world of that possibility(YOU)?, would you be joining the bandwagon of the rest of its lazy bunch to comfort yourself with ‘it’s impossible’? then I tell you to look for the deepest ocean and jump into it, and please, while you are at it, don’t forget to drown, cos’ we already have too many impossible people here wasting away already...people who would rather do nothing and wait for manner to fall down from heaven...people who would rather plot dubious ways of scheming others of their hard earned wealth...people who would pan for the gradual fall of other...
There is no such joy man has ever known than that which comes through hard work, determination and the joy of self succeeding...remember, it doesn’t matter whether its from your room or even your backyard, just start, start and start, no matter how silly and NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR SILLY THE IDEA SEEMS, go ahead, STAY AT IT, WORK AT IT, PUSH AT IT, and in all of it, SUCCEED AT IT And most importantly, PRAY AT IT!
Don’t wait for the government, don’t wait for the crumbs that will fall from their table, rather, decide you would lend to your government...make it a vision to become a force to be reckoned with by your government...you have it all in you...on the very inside of you..reach forth deep within and let it forth...
Remember, CHANGE IS NOW, after all, one man has shown us it can be done, it is so possible to say there is a lifting up when men say there is a casting down, the lines has fallen onto you in pleasant places, you have a goodly heritage, you are the kings kid, he has brought you in on it for such a time as this, take advantage of the season and make that CHANGE NOW!
I saw this picture somewhere on the net and Bouy was i moved, i was inspired...am hoping that it would have the same effect it had on me on you too...See you at the top.
THE DRIVE:
NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR SILLY THAT IDEA SEEMS, go ahead, STAY AT IT, WORK AT IT, PUSH AT IT, and in all of it, SUCCEED AT IT And most importantly, PRAY AT IT!
