If you know someone that can do it, then you can do it!

This year, learn to say "Yes I can" to everything

Even if you have no immediate idea

Don't be quick to say No

Anytime you are asked if you can do something, your response should always be..."Yes I can"

Even if you can't do it

Say you can

Then go back and find someone who can

Learn collaboration

Selfishness kills

Don't be an "I can do it all" individual

Africans, especially Nigerians want to be CEO and MD all by themselves

One man will be both driver and conductor, when he can hire someone else to do the job of a conductor and drive in peace

Another would be the only one to paint, fix the plumbing problem, mown the lawn and do the electrician's work

Just so he doesn't have to share his paycheck

One person, out of greed and selfishness will want to do everything, when you can delegate some, work fast, achieve better and rest.

Collaboration is a skill

Learn to collaborate

Give it to someone else and take a cut

Take your cut from the job you collected but have no idea how to execute it, yet decided to collaborate

Learn to collaborate

If you know someone that can do it, then you can do it!

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

I hate my Job

By
Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
