 Have you ever been in a situation where you had to consciously shrink yourself because of the people around you? Maybe you toned down your excitement about a new achievement, avoided sharing your big dreams, or even pretended you were not as capable as you really are—just so others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. It’s a strange place to be. On one hand, you want to celebrate your wins and push yourself further. On the other hand, the reactions from those around you can make you question whether your growth is “too much.” Before long, you find yourself doing less, dimming your light, and playing small in order to keep the peace. But here’s the truth: you’re not arrogant for dreaming big. You’re not prideful for wanting more. And you’re not wrong for striving to become the best version of yourself. Growth is not about oppressing anyone—it’s about fulfilling your purpose. The reality is, the right people will clap when you win. They will see your growth as inspiration, not competition. ...

 Nigeria has taken a bold step toward modernizing its economic framework with the signing of four significant tax reform bills by President Bola Tinubu. Beyond just fiscal restructuring, this move signals a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive and growth-oriented economy particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which remain the backbone of job creation in Nigeria. For too long, MSMEs have operated under the weight of multiple taxes, inconsistent levies, and burdensome regulatory processes that often discourage growth and formalization. With the new reforms—set to take effect from January 2026 the government is centralizing tax administration, simplifying the tax structure, and introducing clearer exemptions for small businesses. Companies earning ₦50 million or less annually are now exempt from several key taxes, while individuals earning below ₦800,000 monthly are also free from personal income tax obligations. This creates a friendlier operating e...

 It’s been a while since I last published on this blog. Life happened; shifts, growth, waiting, and reflection. But in that space, something powerful took root: a renewed clarity about purpose. When I first started writing here, my goal was simple,to share stories and lessons about personal growth. I wanted to explore how we could become better versions of ourselves, how we could heal, grow, and step into our potential. That passion hasn’t changed. What has changed is the vision: it’s now bigger. Today, I’m reopening this blog with a broader purpose. We’re still going to talk about growth but now we’re stretching it beyond the personal. We’re talking about how our personal development connects to economic empowerment, decent work, and building sustainable communities. We’re talking about SDG 8. If you’re not familiar, SDG 8 is one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. It focuses on promoting sustained, inclusive economic growth, full and productive employment, and d...

 Helping a child overcome fear or anxiety requires patience, understanding, and a supportive approach. Here are some steps you can take: Listen and Validate: First and foremost, listen to your child's fears and concerns without judgment. Let them know that it's okay to feel scared or anxious and that their feelings are valid. Provide Reassurance: Offer comfort and reassurance. Let your child know that you're there to protect and support them.  Gradual Exposure: If the fear is related to a specific situation or object, consider gradual exposure. Start with small, manageable steps to help them become more comfortable with what they fear. Teach Coping Strategies: Teach your child age-appropriate coping strategies. Breathing exercises, positive self-talk, and distraction techniques can be helpful. Positive Role Modeling: Children often learn by observing their parents or caregivers. Be a positive role model by demonstrating how to manage fear or anxiety effectively. Maintain Ro...

 THE CHRONICLES. In the past few years, I have not been consistent in writing on this Blog.  I have been occupied with a lot of things and in the process I have come to realize that growth is the ability to take responsibility and also be able to balance every area of your life.  I also got distracted in the process from the primary purpose but Thank God for God! 🤭( I mean this). I have come to realize that without a clear purpose, you will keep changing directions, jobs, relationships, or other externals-hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart. The point is that it's in human nature to get distracted so you keep moving from one place to another without direction. You think, Maybe this time it will be different, but it doesn't solve your real problem lack of focus and purpose. The Bible says, "Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants."What the Master wants is for us to live solely...

   Do you know why most people don't take action in their lives?     Because they are afraid of the unknown. After all, nobody likes things they're not familiar with. We hate when things don't go according to plan.   When unexpected events make us find new ways to do things.  Maybe it's an important decision you have to make without knowing all the details.   Maybe you need to get something done without really knowing how to do it. Or maybe it's a worldwide crisis never seen before like last year's.   It doesn't matter how well prepared you are for these things...   There will always be a moment where these situations will catch you by surprise.  It's just inevitable.  All those situations make us feel uncertain...  They paralyze us and stop us from going after our goals.   And what happens to those who let their fear of the unknown take over?   Well, they never get to live to their fullest potential.  They ...

You must understand that until you discover your purpose as a person that's when your life make sense.   In the journey of life, you will get to stage  where you ask yourself the 'Wh"questions. You are really eager to know "why", "what"and where  you are heading to in life.    These questions ring in your mind consciously or unconsciously. Discovering your purpose as a person requires something from you and also you must know that to fulfill purpose you need to know who created you, when you know who created you, it will be easy for you to discover your purpose of existence.  God who created you, created you for a specific reason.
