EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILL

 COMMUNICATION SKILL


Effective communication is an instrument, mechanism, and channel through which you can sell your ideas, and express and exchange data and information across the world. With effective communication, your knowledge and skills will be widely known and acceptable while a lack of good communication skills will undermine acceptance.  

No matter the level of your brilliance,  ultra-smartness, and potential, if you lack effective communication skills someone with exceptional communication skills even with intermediate knowledge will be considered superior to you. 


Mostly, the level of your communication often determines the quality of your ideas and how the world will react to your ideas because people only subscribe to a crystal clear, unambiguous, and effectively designed presentation that convinces them the most. Often, in any oratory contest or public presentation, the golden prize always goes to the enthusiastic or superlative speakers, also those who can brilliantly articulate their opinions triumph in examination above others not because they are the most brilliant but because they possess good communication skills. 


Even as an entrepreneur or business owner, regardless of the amount of money invested in a venture, the way you communicate influences the relationship with your customers and subscribers which also determine the survival of the enterprise. 

Effective communication skill is very pertinent regardless of your area of specialization or anywhere you find yourself. Because the way you communicate with people greatly influences them and affects how people perceive and behold you. 


Polishing your communication skills or considering taking a course on effective communication today will make your CV satisfactory for employers and will save you from avoidable regret.

Kwara's False Sense of Security: How Complacency Risks a Regional Catastrophe

Kwara's False Sense of Security: How Complacency Risks a Regional Catastrophe The crackle of gunfire shattered the night calm in Patigi Local Government Area last August. For hours, residents hid in terror as militants believed to be linked to the Mahmuda terrorist faction ransacked homes and farms, leaving behind a trail of displacement and despair. This wasn't in conflict-ridden Zamfara or Borno. This was Kwara State, Nigeria's so-called "State of Harmony" now facing the brutal reality of spillover violence from neighboring conflicts. For years, Kwara has basked in its reputation as an oasis of peace. While northern states battled insurgencies and northwestern states negotiated with bandits, Kwara's security strategy largely involved resting on these laurels. This complacency is now our greatest vulnerability. As armed groups face increasing pressure in Nigeria's northwest and the Sahel, they are seeking new territories and routes and Kwara...

Guaranteed on Paper, Denied in Practice: The Crisis of Local Governance in Abuja

Guaranteed on Paper, Denied in Practice: The Crisis of Local Governance in Abuja I walked into the hall carrying a question that, quietly, many Nigerians have likely asked: “Who really runs my local area?” I left with a clear and unsettling answer, one shaped by constitutional insight and the stark realities on the ground. At a recent lecture hosted by the Path to Peace Foundation under The Abuja Project Fellowship, themed “Understanding the Landscape of Local Governance in the Federal Capital Territory and the State of Local Government Autonomy,” the discussion went beyond theory. It was a candid diagnosis of a patient we often overlook, our local governments, the third tier of governance where democracy should be closest to the people. The story of local government in Nigeria is both inspiring and troubling. It began with great promise, boldly enshrined in our Constitution. Section 7(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) could not be clearer: “The system of local gover...
