Responsible citizens beget responsible leaders | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

What we have as leaders in our countries will always reflect the kinds of people within our society. The person who is the arrow head may not necessarily be the representation of most of the people but the bitter truth is that he or she is still from within that system. So if we must have the right leaders, it is very important to have the right systems beginning with the citizens.

We cannot always think that the problem will be solved when our leaders change. I understand how important change in leadership is. However, we can continue to change leaders and still not change the issue that is bringing in irresponsible leaders.

The people we call leaders today are those who left our schools, families, communities, churches, mosques and other smaller groups. We saw them and knew what they could do. We heard them and also noted that they had nothing to offer. We were in a position to

Nuggets for you

• Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you to where you want to go, no one else.
• You cannot change what you refuse to confront.
• Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
• Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.

GIDI Traffic, are you ready for today?

We expect serious traffic today in Lagos as the Presidential primaries of the APC holds today at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.

Of course, traffic is one of the major things that make Lagos, the real Lagos (Laughs), any little thing causes heavy traffic in Lagos, so we expect it as usual, apart from the APC Presidential primaries, Shilo (Winners Chapel) is going on as well as the Holy Ghost Congress (RCCG).

Escape routes will be made known by traffic experts like Giditraffic, so stay glued to your twitter to escape today’s traffic.

Please tweet to tell everyone about traffic where ever you are at every moment.

I promise to tweet as well.

After the competition

I have watched different competitions, the winner is the super star at that moment and for a while he is the topic of everyone's discussion, there's the 1st runner up, 2nd runner up and so on, these people that did not win the ultimate price at that moment of course will wish they were the ones everyone is celebrating, it's only natural but now that the winner has been announced and the price have been given, what next?

Be The Light By Ehi Ade Mabo

Wrong is the new right, left is the new right, the voice of reasoning is drowned, almost dead. Most of the world is doing things down-side-up and all we are doing about that is complaining, raising our nagging meters, criticizing with a mouthful of abuse, hate, negative verbal slurs and pointing accusing fingers from afar. Its not unusual to walk in a room and point out a list of things wrong with the room, the people and even hate yourself for

Nuggets for you

• We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives. Some lessons are painful, some are painless. But, all are priceless.
• Life is like  photography. You need the negatives to develop.
• Be thankful for all those who said NO to you. It's because of them you are doing it again yourself.
• Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?
• Faith is daring to put your dream to the test. It is better to try to do something and fail than to try to do nothing and succeed.

Prepare to finish well | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

One of the things that make a race really beautiful is how well the athlete finishes the race. There are times when the athlete may get off to a rough start for one reason or the other. When that happens, people may pity the athlete and even conclude that the race is lost while it is just getting started. For some other athletes, the race may start well and get rough along the line. That may also affect the result of the race.

Some people get a shaking and they are able to shake off everything and get back into the race properly in order to finish well. Then there are those who may also start well and continue well until the last phase of the race. It just may be then that they will mess up or relax because they think they have gotten to the end and that the race is already concluded.

When I was a secondary school student I used to see a lot of students racing because my school was so active in sports. I even remember vividly a young man we used to call Silvernus back then. He was in his final year and was also the fastest runner in the whole school. The second fastest guy happened to be the senior prefect of the school.

One of the things that Silvernus was very

If it doesn’t touch your head | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

I remember a young friend of mine sitting next to me some years back when we were all members of the National Youth Service Corp far away in Sokoto state, Nigeria. She said something that I have never forgotten. Her mother who happens to be nurse said to her, ‘no matter how you fall or where you fall, just make sure you don’t hit your head.’ That sounded like a health tip to her but to me it is far more than a health tip. There is a life lesson to be learnt from that. Some people have hit their heads – mental capacity – in life.

Try hard to make sure you don’t hit your head whenever you fall. No matter what happens, protect your head. Isn’t that why they made laws for us to wear protected helmets in some work places? I also remember that a few years back in Lagos state, the government insisted that all commercial motor bike riders must wear helmets and also have one ready for their passengers.

Now I am not going to the issue of physical health but to the issue of mental capacity as a result of the fall that we experience in life. Many of us have fallen so hard in life that we have hit our heads during the fall. What that means is that we went through certain things in life and those things got the better of us. Those issues took out thinking capacity.

You will find some people who are extremely negative and you will wonder why they are negative. The reason they are negative is simple. It is because of

Would you tell your wicked boss?

Nuggets for you

• There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
• Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
• Just know, when you truly want success, you'll never give up on it. No matter how bad the situation may get.
• Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.
• To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing.

My Ex is Tormenting My Husband at Work

Stt got this email from a reader who needs help, see her story below.

My husband is working under my ex-boyfriend, so basically my ex is my husband’s boss at the moment. Their relationship has been cordial for a long time now. His boss never knew I am his wife until recently, they got talking and one thing led to the other, my husband mentioned my name and my surname, his boss was curious and he eventually discovered I’m the one. 

Ever since my husband’s boss discovered that my husband is actually the person I jilted him for, he has been on my husband’s neck for everything at his work place, it has been a real torment since then.

My husband is not aware I have dated his boss before. He complains to me every day he gets home from work of how the boss gave him queries and did disgrace him especially in front of junior colleagues for no just cause. 

My husband is just wondering where he has offended his boss, I know why the boss is mean to him. It is out of bitterness that I left him then, but it’s not my husband’s fault, I know he is just trying to get back at me.

Please I don’t know what to do right now, I’m confused. Should I open up to my husband now? Won’t he wonder why I have not told him since?

 

What is job security doing to your mind? | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

It is obvious that the unemployment figures here in Nigeria are not looking good. Sometimes we also have the tendencies to think that the grass is greener on the other side. We strive as much as possible to get there only to see that the grass is not even close to green as it appeared on the other side. This has made some people overnight entrepreneurs and they seem to be doing well at it.

There are those not doing so well but they are able to put something on the table just to make sure either they or the entire family will not go to bed hungry. A few others are trying to take all the lessons they can take just to make sure that they go beyond running a business to eat. They want their businesses to go global and

Toyosi Phillips: Trigger Your Support System

Ever wonder why the oddest of sects have the followers they do? Do you often wonder why you hear about a particular belief and find that it has hundreds and even thousands of devotees?

The same applies to businesses. One person’s great idea today becomes a blooming business tomorrow, and slowly but steadily the business’ following increases and you find it having loyal customers who stay vouching for their products.

And of course, there are human beings like you and me with thousands and millions of supporters that stay loyal and rise to their defence at the slightest whim. Did someone say Beyhive?

What these 3- the subgroups, the businesses and the individuals- have in common is their clear sense of direction. They continually walk/work towards goals that they’ve set for themselves and this is one major reason why their external support system thrives!

Support system
A network of people who provide an individual with practical and/or emotional support

To clarify, as with all things there’s the rule and there are exceptions to the rule. People undeniably support different groups and individuals for reasons
