Quit now!

You  may be wondering if such a title is timely especially because we are at the beginning of another year. It's simple, the best time to make up your mind is now! To make up your mind about what? you may ask. Yes, to make up your mind to either be an entrepreneur or an employee. Please note that there is nothing bad in being an employee, it's just a matter of planning and you can attain the highest rank. 
It is important to make your mind now so that you don't become an entrepreneur today and tomorrow you are searching for job and vice-versa. Stay put or die trying should be our new year resolve as we choose being an employer of labour and an officer of labour. It is best to be employed and you are focus on your job so as to get to the peak of your career timely than waste time shuttling between entrepreneurship and being employed. The same applies to one who have made up his or her heart to be an entrepreneur, when the challenges of a business owner arises, don't quit. Stay put as an entrepreneur until you've master the tricks and skill of your market. If you resolve to be either an entrepreneur or an employee, it will help you in channeling your whole energy into that singular thing that you have resolved to be. There is power in concentration because you will see what ordinary people don't see and that will give you a edge.

Prime movers of Agriculture!

It is good that the clamour for Nigerians to return to agriculture from the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration of 1976 has been sustained by successive government. However, the problem with most of the call to return to agriculture is that those clamouring for such end with the thought of exporting the agricultural produce, this I disagree with. The question is ‘who are the farmers?’ because most times we want everybody to go back to the farm and if I understand what we are saying we are simply encouraging subsistence farming which from age past have never reduce unemployment or increase government revenue. What types of agriculture should we then do?

Advise Government to Invest in manufacturing

over the years, government has come out to give assistance to Nigerian entrepreneurs especially the SMEs but it seems the employment rate, the import rate continue to be on the increase. somebody may ask why? The reason is not far fetch, only 10 % of such interventions made their way to the manufacturing sector, most goes into marketing and other services. For any country to however reduce unemployment and importation rate, the chunk of government investment should go into the manufacturing sector. the government should also protect that sector with utmost jealousy. It is time to take the bull by the horn and do the needful until every job seeker in Nigeria gets job. Government officials especially the President and labour minister should also visit our seaports to verify the goods we bring in. If they can be produced here then they are not suppose to be brought here, simple.

Integrity of policies!

Until Nigeria has integrity of policies, our country cannot change!                                  - Benedict Okorie If we say we are banning the importation of any product into Nigeria. It should also come emphatically with duration, say 5 months, 1 year, 5 years or even 10 years. This should also be independent of political party at the helm of affairs. So if party A makes the policy to ban a product for a number of years and party B defeats party A in the general election, party B should also allow that ban until that number of years as pronounced by party A. That's integrity! Anyone willing to go into local production knows the number of years he/she has before the ban is lifted. You will realized that we would have had market leaders before the ban will be lifted. Another aspect of policy I will like government to look...
