I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year. The session was on Tony Elumelu. ---------- (Diligent Amaka speaking) Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu (born 22 March 1963) is a Nigerian economist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, the United Bank for Africa, Transcorp and founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Wisdom

By -

If you discover you are one of the few that operate in extraordinary wisdom, don't be too hasty to lend your voice to every trend and discussion because your suggestions and contributions will almost always stick and be accepted as a truth even when it is not because people have over times watched your consistency in display of wisdom. Some people are here to steer others aright. If you are one of those God has given this responsibility, you have to be very careful so you don't lead many to destruction. If people listen to you when you talk, agree almost all the time to your contributions on a pressing issue or seek your contribution before making a conclusion to an issue, just know you may be one of the rare breeds, you may be one of the Custodians of wisdom notwithstanding your age. The best thing to do in situations when your opinion is sought and you are not very informed or convinced about an issue is to be silent or to pend your contribution. This will save you a lot o...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Keep Walking!

By -

Johnny Walker must have been greatly inspired when he made this inspirational declaration. Sometimes, you want to stop everything and just hide... Keep walking. There are times the wind would make you consider sliding backwards... Keep walking. There are times you question yourself... Keep Walking. There are times you just want to swim in the ocean of lamentations and self pity... Keep Walking. Even when you pause to reassess your journey, let your mind Keep Walking. For what we should not afford is Stagnation, Time wasting, Procrastination, Idleness... Even if we could afford these, Walking has shown to be a Great Exercise! Keep Walking! Credit: Nengi Lawson Snr

You will find money in these three places

By -
Image
Money is hiding in things people don't want. Over the weekend, I listened to the speech of a top network marketing guru in South Africa and these are the points he mentioned about money and where you can get it. He said that one will only find money in these three places: The first place where one will find money is with people. All businesses need people to make money. Doctors need people to make money and they call those people patients. Checkers and Woolworths needs people to make money and they call them customers. Mortuaries need dead people to make money. If one runs away from people, one is running away from wealth. If one says that he/she is shy and can't talk to people, then it means poverty will be one's best friend. The second place one can find money is to find solutions to people's problems. Most people run away from problems because they don't want to find solutions to the problems. That's why we don't last in things that we start because i...

Law of Life

When a Newspaper Reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Maize each year he entered his maize in the Agricultural Show, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed with his neighbours. Perplexed, the reporter asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed with your neighbours when they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?” The farmer smiled knowingly and explained, “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize. If I am to grow good maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop.” So it is with our lives. Those who want to live meaningfully and well, must help enrich the lives of others. For the value of a life, is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy, must help others find happiness. For the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all. Call it power of colle...

Mindset: One's greatest strength

By -
Our most powerful element is the "mind". It's the distinct difference between being successful and failing to achieve. It's what limits you and keeps you distant from your dreams. One of our quotes for this week (by Alice Walker) was about the common way we give up our power, we under achieve and never get fulfilled. Theodore Roosevelt also said: "Believe you can and you're halfway there". The mind is one's greatest strength. When the mind is weak, discouraged and negative, it mirrors into one's actions and activities and ultimately influences the end results. Positive mindset is an essential individual factor for personal success as well as collective success. We see and feel the effects of mindset around us. When we complain about the challenges we face in family, work place, school, organizations we belong to, even the challenges we have as a society or a nation; they're all related to different personal mindsets. When you see a successfu...

Rush Hour (1998)

Rush Hour is an American buddy action comedy film that stars Jackie Chan (Detective Inspector Lee) and Chris Tucker (Detective James Carter) as mismatched cops who must rescue the Chinese consul's (Consul Solon Han) kidnapped daughter. Photo Credit: Wikipedia What did I learn from Rush Hour? • Sometimes, one's dream(s) becomes reality in the most unexpected and funny of ways. I admire people who take life happily, make fun out of the seriousness of life, and at the same time, still stay focused on their dreams with optimism, trying to make great use of opportunities that comes around them. Detective Carter of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the cop who doesn't go with a partner on cop duties (he had lost his Dad who was also a cop due to the failure of his dad's partner to back him up), unlike his other colleagues in the police department, seemed to be regarded as a joker, a carefree cop in the LAPD. If every cop in the LAPD were to be ranke...
