Never put yourself in a position where good news makes you unhappy. Get out of that stream in the newyear.

Beyond having passion for a thing, you need clarity of thought on it's execution. The pathways must be clear and realistic. Every obstacle must be taken into account and resolved in the planning. If while executing you discover "new" things, your taking time to plan at the onset will give you added advantage in your tactical approach. God's promise to you doesn't wish away challenges, infact Jesus said no man starts to build a tower without first of all counting the cost. Clarity of thought in planning as a result of a realistic look at the challenges to be faced is the key to your success. #MondayMotivation

Don't fall into the trap of manipulators who raise a false accusation over your head with the intent that you under pressure will try to prove them wrong, succumb to making certain decisions which is really their intent. The accusation is a decoy. They expect you will go on a mission to show they are wrong and you right and in so doing you actually do what they have "programmed" you to do. Everyone faces witchcraft, it is public enemy number one. Do not try to live up to the expectations of anyone. Those who are disappointed in you kindly leave them disappointed and face your assignment.

Mr Atedo Peterside speaking on youth engagement @theplatformnigeria. On the 1st of October Mr Peterside shared his thoughts. He spoke about the rot within the system and how young people should organise themselves and sieze the initiative. This conversation held 1st of October.

The idea may not be popular at the onset but you know this will serve the collective. You may be ridiculed and ostracised at the onset but if it is coming from the depth of your heart and it will serve the collective best be courageous enough to speak it out and seek to spread it

Leadership is not about jumping on popular trends, making sure you first see what ideas seem popular then you echo them so as find acceptance & affirmation. Leadership is about your moral compass, your deepest convictions what you see about the future then you seek to persuade.

History always repeats itself. The reason is the fundamental nature of man remains the same and events are a result of decisions and the choices people make. Technology doesn't change that it simply amplifies it. By that, results come much faster but the patterns remain the same.

Some of you who we saw on the streets should be Senators and members of the House in the next three to seven years where you will have the power to effect your objectives.

The street peaceful protest is over but the opportunity for change within the legal framework is now wide open. The real effort behind the scenes can now begin. Channel the energy right. It takes time to bring about change. You cannot be hasty.

1. In the 60's, in the United States, a group of young men and women under 35years were fed up and wanted a dramatic change in the way things were being done in the polity. They stood up and it ended in the Government having to use force to rein them in. They were disappointed.
