The Motivational Speaking Scam!



“Yes! At last someone is talking about this”, some people are bound to say. I have no doubts as well that this might offend some people – usually the people prospering from this scam and the people who are planning to go into it! I have no apologies for my point of view, if you read with an open conscience and do your due research, you will find out that what I’m communicating here is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The First Sights


A few weeks ago, we shared a few thoughts together in a fellowship we usually hold every Thursday. We asked ourselves what exactly the role of God in our churches and to our societies is, and asked what God would have us do. It became quite clear to us that God was like a coach in the football match, he knows all the strategies, has all the answers, but cannot step into the feild of play. He is always on the lookout for men, or women who will express his will and pleasure. His agenda from inception has not changed – To make man in His own image and likeness, not to create man. The process of making has been in process since then, and the ultimate end of man is Godlikeness. Continue reading →

The First Flight


I listened with rapt attention as a 48+ year old man spoke passionately about the fact that though as a child he had dreamed of flying and seeing the world. Though as a child he had created his own aircraft designs and made his own flying toys, he was only going to have his first ever aircraft experience at the ripe old age of 46! Ofcourse, it was too late to begin to pursue his dream of being a pilot, but at least, haven broken the ice he can at least be a world traveller. 3yrs later, at the point of his sharing his story, he had virtually lost count of how many flights and night buses had become a thing of the past. He joked that the people in his flight commented that the flight was quite turbulent, he marvelled at how peaceful he felt his first flight was, at least compared with a luxurious bus on the Benin-Ore road :) Continue reading →

The First Million Dollars


I have it in authority from converstations with a number of wealthy people, that the first million dollars is the hardest million to make. Once you learn the key skills to overcome this, the rest is pretty simple.

Well, I decided to keep quiet about this, until I have first experiemented with my life and have proof that it can be done. I’m glad to say to you without boasting or bragging that it has been done, and it can be replicated. There are many who have gained wealth in ways that are not duplicable, even they are not really sure about how they got it. It happened based on things they do not understand, and they can’t give others a road map. Continue reading →

I Missed You!


In the 5years plus I have been active on this blog, the last 8 weeks have marked my longest time away from this blog. My friends, fans, acquaintances, critics and stark enemies on this site have become a vital part of my life and existence. To tell you that I have missed you over the last 8 weeks, would be to summarize it and lose much of the meaning of those words. Every 2-3 days, I have had the urge to write something. I have wanted to stay in touch, to chronicle my life and experiences as I would normally do, but it was just somehow tight for me. Trust me when I say my life has usually been filled with activity beyond the average, the last 8 weeks however have been a marathon of some sort for me. Please permit me to say quite warmly and affectionately, with traces of tears lacing my eyes, and my voice muddled and on the edge of crying – “I missed you, yes you…I have missed you!” Continue reading →

The Most Important Revelations -1!


What you are about to read, I authorize you to teach. What you are about to hear, you are authorized to share. If this information was as clear to me years ago, as it is today, I will be far away from where I am today. If you read this frequently enough, it will settle in. I will try as much as possible to capture this in simple language, the type that makes it easy to understand and difficult to misunderstand. This information is so crucial, so pivotal to success, it’s so so important, I cannot stress the importance of it enough. If your quest is for wealth, this is important. If it’s for honor, fame or greatness, this is critical. If your quest is for the attainment of significance, relevance or influence, then is is your starting point. I have also deliberately decided to make it short, not because it can’t be longer, but so you don’t get bored. I will break it down into series and will shed more light as we progress. If you can understand this, you are made! Welcome with me, into possibilities. Continue reading →

Where are You?


“Where are you?” That statement dates back to the beginning of time. That question was the first question that God asked man after man sinned in the Garden of Eden. “Where are you?” Imagine that God is asking you that same question today! Imagine that the purpose for your being, is asking that question today! Imagine that your community and the predestined boundaries of your existence are with one voice asking – “Where are you?”.

Oh, once upon a time you were the leader of the group. Oh, you were the chief usher for your fellowship back on campus, you were the sister’s leader, bible study secretary, head of a subgroup, president of a society, pastor of a fellowship! Oh you were great, you were grand, you results were exceptional, your story was unique and you made a mark! The question today however is not where were you, or who were you or what did you do? Today’s question is “Where are you?”. Where are you today, and what exactly is your story? Or let me put it more succinctly, what is your excuse? Don’t be tongue tied, you might find your answer within the first answer ever given!

“I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. I hid myself” – Adam Continue reading →
