School rewards people for their memory, life reward people for their imagination and innovation. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules, life exalt those who break the rules and set new ones .
So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should but don't sacrifice every other things on the altar of first class. Don't limit yourself to the classroom.
Do something practical. Take care leadership position start a business and fail. That a better entrepreneurship 101.

Please let me explain to those of us who don't understand Economic terms.
Dollar has not increased since Buhari became president:
1. Dollar is not our currency so dollar should not be our business.
2. Our problem is not d government but our problem is our importers and consumers.
3. Naira has remained at 197 naira to 1 dollar since Buhari became president.
4. Buhari has promised not to devalue the Naira and he has maintained that promise.
5. Both at CBN and at interbank rates, dollar has remained 197.
6. However because we are too lazy to produce what we use in Nigeria we import even toothpicks and matches.
7. Buhari does not like d importation of luxury goods because luxury goods is d reason for most corruption, that is why he banned 41 products from having access to forex.
8. However when Nigerian importers insisted on importing those 41 products, FG asked them to find their dollar at d BDCs parallel market also known as black market.
9. And to discourage the pressure Nigerians are mounting on the Naira just to get dollars for importation, CBN banned DMBs from selling dollars to BDCs.
10. To survive the pressure of excess dollar demands, BDCs resorted to sourcing for dollars from neighbouring countries through illicit money laundering routes.
11. Because of the risks faced by BDCs to source for dollars, and because of the increase in demand for dollars by importers because China just resumed from their business holidays, BDCs keep increasing the price at which they exchange dollars to naira and now it is 400 naira to 1 dollars.
12. However that does not mean that govt has changed the exchange rate because if our genuine importers go to CBN and fill Form M to import raw materials for local production, they will get dollars at 197 naira each.
13. So the problem is that we love to consume luxury foreign products yet we are too lazy to manufacture them here.
14. For example u will see a dull girl using iPhone 5 without even knowing simple physics and computer engineering part of how that phone was produced.
15. I want Buhari to ban every foreign product from Nigeria until Nigerians learn to produce and use Made in Nigeria products.
16. Let us stop complaining about dollar as if dollar has become Nigeria's currency.
17. It is even bad enough that most of those complaining about the high exchange rate of dollar do not have 1 single dollar in their purse.

ponder on this!...
- Thought in the mind ha made us what we are. If a man's mind has evil thought, pain comes on him as come the wheel the ox behind. If one endure in purity of thought, joy follows him as his own shadow.
- Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamond obtained and man can find every truth connected with his being, if ge dig deep into the mind of his soul. Tha he was the maker of his character, the molder of the life and builder o his destiny.
- A man's mind may be likened to a garden which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild, but whether cultivated or neglected, it must bring forth forth no useful seed are put into it, then abundance of useless weed/seed will fall therein and will continue to produce their kind, just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it fr from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruit which he requires so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out allthe wrong, useless and impure thoughts and cultivating towards perfection the flowers and fruit of right, useful and pure thoughts.
- Blessedness, not material possessions is the measure of right thought, wretchedness, not lack of material possessions is the measure of wrong thought. A man may be cursed and rich, he may be blessed and poor
- A man may rise to high success in the world, even lofty attitudes in the spiritual realm, and again descend into weakness and wretchedness by allowing arrogant, selfish and corrupt thoughts to take possession of him.
