Death Before Life!


Question 5: Text _____ to _____ to configure your mobile phone for internet browsing using an MTN sim card. Please remember you need to get the 6th question before sending the details to seunadelana at gmail.com

My blog is back from it’s longest break ever. Interestingly, I did not give myself as much reason to panic as I have done in the past. While I hoped for the best and desired the best, I somehow had gotten to that place in my heart where I was willing to start again from scratch. You might not understand it, but it was like Abraham on the mount going with a resolve to sacrifice is son, knowing that God would provide an alternative, either before or after. If you know how emotionally attached I am to this blog, and how much of my years it has consumed, you will understand. I had however gotten to the point where I knew, that even if it did not come back to live, there was something great ahead that it needed to give way to. It dawned on me afresh, that if the seed of grain does not fall to the ground and die, it abides alone, but that if it dies, the comeback to live will be with abundance.

If anything in your life seems to be dying don’t lose faith. If God seems to be testing you with something you hold dear, don’t lose heart. If it seems that your business is experiencing a low time, don’t lose hope. The process of growth is usually preceded by a decline-the seeds first die before they sprout. Take heart and be of good courage your great days are here. That’s exactly the way it’s going to be on this site starting from this coming week. Continue reading →

Our Best Days are Ahead


And the winner for the first Samsung Phone is – John Okoroafor! Seun will contact you to receive it. Now for the Next 3 questions, same principles apply. Question 4: “How do I check my data consumption using MTN mobile internet bundle?”.

Think about it, we have moved very far from where we started as Holidays and Cash, 2yrs ago. 2yrs ago, there was only one product in the privilege pack, 2yrs ago, the company started off with a coalition of the willing, 2yrs ago, it would have seemed that none of us could have imagined what we have today, but some of us did! Every reality has two creations, the first creation is in the mind and the second creation is the actual creation. The things we struggle at in life, are the things we try to create the second time, without the first creation. If what you want to build is a small hut, rough sketches are good, but if it’s big, you need to plan. Huge mansions have great plans, the bigger the reality you want created, the more attention you must pay on the first creation. Continue reading →

I thought long and hard about the topic of this post. What can I title it that will make it capture the urgency of the now, and at the same time retain the timeless signature I want every article I write to bear? It suddenly struck me, that the best way to put it, is as I have, “Don’t miss this!”

What is this that you shouldn’t miss? Two things, one, don’t miss an awesome event taking place this weekend – The Avenues to Wealth Award Ceremony and family night of fun and excitement. This event is marking the second year anniversary of an exciting company called Holidays and Cash, now rebranding as Avenues to Wealth. In this event, we’ll be entertained and informed, it’s infotainment at it’s peak. There will be music, comedy, dance and enlightenment. The event is featuring one of the foremost icons and entrepreneurial brands in Nigeria – Prof Pat Utomi, Global wealth creation expert, Prof Dolf De Roos, Africa’s Ace comedian – Basket Mouth, many musical acts, dance competitions, raffle draws and so much fun.

DSTV – Don’t Sell Tomorrow’s Votes


“Question 1 for Winning a Samsung GT-S3100 – State the Activation codes and price for the daily, weekly and monthly mobile internet bundle plan” Please do not send the answers until you see question 3. Answers to be sent to seun.adelana at gmail.com

The hottest news on the Nigerian landscape today, are the inner maneuvers of those who desire to rule or lead us. Please pardon my seeming use of tautology, there is a world of difference between ruling and leading, we might actually not know the difference, haven been ruled for too long! There is an ongoing battle for the steering wheel of Nigeria, a lot of young people are being lobbied in different directions, myself inclusive. The strange phone calls from people whose reputations you only knew, the show of appreciation for the efforts that are almost 10yrs old that never won any notice, the invitations to meetings with the who is who? Handshakes are fast becoming tight hugs, the battle for the soul of the nation, is done on negotiation tables for the hearts of it’s youth.  Continue reading →

Strategic Bloggers Conference


In the last 2 months, I have had a surge in requests from corporate organizations to attend various events. Interestingly I discovered that the common theme with all these corporates was blogging, and the desire to explore social media possibilities. It was in order to create some structure to the industry, and ensure that we can form an alliance or association that helps us all achieve more and together create the third alternative, that we held the strategic bloggers conference. MTN was so gracious to single handedly sponsor the meeting. Continue reading →

A Week in My Life


Key activities in my week – 26th of September to 2nd of October .

Sunday

Went for an early Sunday service. I split my time in two, spent the first service in the adult church and the second service in the teens church. We returned home after the second service, rested and spent some time reviewing my work and life also read, chatted, prayed and meditated. Got involved with the house fellowship meeting in the evening. Spent quality after evening fellowship time in meetings with friends and ministry partners. Guests left my house after 11pm, had a late night, and then resumed the regulars.

Monday

Of course it was a Dollar Green Monday, with Avenues to Wealth/ Holidays and Cash, Mondays are green. Developed an update for Avenues to Wealth members, had a burning theme in my heart on – “it’s not all about you”. Realized the value of having someone else to help, and the effect it has on minimizing one’s personal problems. Commenced with negotiations with company interested in online promotions of about to be launched product. Had the regular Monday one to one meetings, read, meditated, prayed… also with my wife. Had a late evening out. A friend and distributor had scheduled a meeting with Rev. Victor Adeyemi on Avenues to Wealth. I was in his house till very late. Got home around 11pm. Spent quality time doing my regulars till usually 2am. Started creating awareness for the charity event slated for Friday. Continue reading →

I posted a few weeks ago, that Nokia will be launching their own reply to the Blackberry in the form of a Nokia C3. The competition is about to start, and it will be good you begin to prepare and research. Interestingly there seems to be something in the offering from Nokia for Avenues to Wealth distributors and members as well. Before it all unveils, here is how it will all run.

BACKGROUND

Nokia plans to Introduce its range of messaging devices including the C3 into the Nigerian Market

Ahead of the actual media launch event, there is the need to create a buzz about Nokia’s messaging devices with the C3 as the lead device

It is a “Pre-Event” Activity which is to lead to the launch of the phone

The idea is to engage key Nigerian bloggers to run a competition for a week where people need to answer certain questions

At the end of the week, one person wins the C3 device.

DESCRIPTION

Bloggers will engage their audience for a duration of 5 days during which, questions relating to the upcoming Nokia C-series will be asked and answers will be sent to these blog sites

The public will be intimated about the quiz a week to actual commencement in order to gear them up

The users will send in the answers to the questions ONLY after ALL the questions have been posted on the blogs – which means that they would accumulate their answers and send them in after all the questions have been posted on the blogs

The prizes will presented to winners during the official Media Launch for C3
