POWER OF GOOD COMPANIONSHIP

 THE POWER OF GOOD COMPANIONSHIP.


Man always encounter loggerhead with multifarious desires and longings that are indispensable, also capable of making or marring one's life.


What should top our agenda daily is how to unravel where you can positively contribute and render your service to people in the quest to ignite your potential and make difference among your contemporaries who have chosen to live an illusionary life instead of actuality. 


Associate yourself with companies of qualitative value, not quantitative value who think more of instant utility and less about future investment and career. 


Strive to find yourself where you will be not only be impactful but also where you can build your career, not where gossip and discussing people's Inadequateness, destruction, and ruination will be the order of the day.  


Search for peers who are productive, those willing to tutor you with support, and will be pleased with you not where you will only be tolerated. 


Strive to humble yourself with tolerance to captivate the acceptance of those in the high echelon. 


Nevertheless, surround yourself with people with positive thoughts that are beneficial to yourself and humanity, people of good reputation, and not those who can't endure your weakness and even failure. 


Therefore, the quality of your associates determines the extent you will reach and your accomplishments in life.  


Choose wisely!


Happy new year. May this new year mark the beginning of our greatness.

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...
