Stay Determined

-








Determination is the quality that makes you continue to do something even when it seems difficult. It is about having a firm and unshakable decision to do something without letting anyone or anything prevent you. Many fail, because they lack determination.

Determination is an innate quality hidden in our souls, which can only come to surface when triggered. Everyone is driven by his or her own determination to succeed, to be the first, to be the head and to be outstanding among others.

Determination keeps us firmly centered on a chosen purpose. It requires us pursuing a goal with much focus, zeal, energy and courage. We might have failed at some point, but determination is the tool needed to keep defeat from becoming permanent. It helps us overcome failure and fear.

At the time of failure, determination pushes onward and gives us the energy to triumph by keeping us on path. It helps us to make our dreams into reality and to live by our highest values.

Refuse to give up on that issue. Don't you ever give up on yourself. Your life is yours to control and to be the best you can ever imagine. By being determined, you are opening the door for a better tomorrow.

I hope that this month brings joy and happiness. Stay determined!!

HAPPY NEW MONTH.

The Menace of Corporate begging in Lagos

 By Praise Olowe Just when I thought the issue of corporate begging had seized in Lagos, some of my recent encounters within the Lagos metropolis has got me re thinking. Corporate beggars seem to be back in town and this time around, they are back in re branded styles. Street begging is not new in Nigeria, and it majorly involves visibly disadvantaged people, who line major roads to beg for money. You would agree with me that, seeing a good looking man who is all dressed up in tuxedo, carrying a fancy brief case and wearing a pair of shoe so well polished that you can almost see your reflection in them on the street of Lagos is not at all a concern. However, it becomes one when this corporately dressed man, walks up to a lady not to make advances, but to seek assistance backing it up with a really pathetic story. This was my experience a few days ago, at the Oshodi area of Lagos. This handsome looking guy, walked up to me and said: (not the exact words used) "

Jumia is one of the largest e-commerce operators in Africa. However, if you think you have explored all there is about Jumia, you might just be thinking wrongly. Once you go beyond the mobile phones and home appliances, the online store can be a very bizzare place. Having gotten used to recharging my phone , paying utility bills, making hotel reservations, booking a ride, ordering food from various restaurants of my choice and so much more, I just got the news via mail that I could also apply for a loan with zero collateral using Jumia.  I’m sure many of us are not even aware that we can purchase furnitures, Auto mobile Accessories and so much more on Jumia.
