Truths and Deeds!

Passion and strategy make for the most sophisticated combination. And for the many who are seeking to make something out of life, one of the things to note is that, no matter what has been conceived, without the strategy to drive the same, everyone might as well call off their attempts and go home. I have come to realize that moving forward is all about strategic thinking and the approach. Many of the times, we fail in a particular venture, campaign, pursuit or other because we do not plan for the long term that is backed up by firm submissions and clarity. A good plan minimizes the risk of failure, irrespective of the odds. It is not enough to play forward an idea, and simply expect same to catch on because it is great on paper. Eventually, it always come down to how you plan to nurture and sustain that idea through the stages of growth and maturity. It so happens that many of us are big on ideas but not on strategy.

I have grown to see education more as being aware, not just as a resource for classroom knowledge. This is appealing because the outlook allows me to broaden my world view and to relate same to all aspects of human endeavor, for example the economy which i see as the reflection of the socio-cultural well being of a people and through which development is measured and appraised. I would summit that, it is important for young people to understand the role of awareness in issues of good governance, the politics of leadership, the law of averages and growth, human dignity and the rule of law in a given society. Clearly, the problem for young people is hinged on what i call the scale of information (knowledge, and from which civic participation and leadership, political will and the need to act in a certain impact-oriented way can be noted, and acted upon. Simply put, without adequate information, our response and performance will fall beyond expectation in matters that affect us

Suspicion trends in cases where certain details are not immediately clear to people. The same becomes a dangerous streak when it suddenly becomes a criterion. I understand the need for caution but i am unsure of how to respond to situations where people assume the worst about everything. How exactly can one put himself/herself out there if he/she does not think that anything is worth trying? The lot of us talk about moving forward as individuals but we neglect to consider the part where we must take a chance. I know that not knowing can be scary but it can be just as exciting. The Thrill lies in the sudden discovery of the end game. Life is like a Poker game. One must deal the cards on hand. The trick is in the best cards. So the players all follow the same prescription even when they are unsure of what set of cards other players have. Today, we live in a society where things do not always play out in the way and manner we expect them to. For most young people in Africa, this is true

The situation in Nigeria today is one that requires thinking outside the box for solutions. The approach to prevailing over the obvious challenges has to be diiferent enough to be effective. The dominant issues in Nigeria at present includes, but not limited to Crude Oil refining and related issues, Corruption and loot recovery, Power generation and consumption among others. There is a way to approach these issues. When conventional methods are slow to yield immediate results, the unconventional methods can be considered so long as the primary object is reached. On Crude Oil refining, but for the fact that Nigerian Refineries are not fully operational there is scarcity of petroleum products, a scenerio that has greatly affected the entire Nigerian state hence the strong dependence on Independent Oil Marketers who in turn have to import before the same is distributed country-wide and at high rates. The situation could have been remedied if the illegal local refineries that were
