it is not too late to start

A Nigerian musical icon, Late Fatai Rollingdollar sang his first and hit album at over 75 years, in fact some of his teeth were obviously missing. had he sang the song at a lower year, nobody will be willing to buy it. At that age, he succeeded in creating a niche for himself against the tensed competition of younger generations.
A big  mistake on your path may be not starting when others starter maybe for one reason or the other, you do not because of that now relax that you wouldn't need to do it again. the mere fact others started before you or somebody stole your business idea or plan is an opportunity to learn from the person so that you can make use of the information to make a better brand.
The truth remains that your own view of the idea may not have been acceptable to the prospective customers or better still you may not have the capital to launch it in a way it will attract attention. don't give up on your dream, not yet until you have tried it out.

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?

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...

Understand Priority!

It is important in life and especially business to prioritize ideas. Some questions that will help us as regard priority includes "when should this idea be implemented?" "Do I have all it takes to implement this idea now, if not, when will I have them?" "Won't it be late to implement this idea in so so and so time?" Etc. Many times, it's difficult to run/implement two or more ideas at a time but through priority we can still achieve them all though at different times. It also prevent tying up of capital and that may even affect both businesses. In priority, it's best to do the easiest first or one in which one has more expertise or one better research. In priority, a schedule is also important. When we ask the necessary questions, it would help us know how prepared we are for every idea we intend to implement less we start and encounter problem not anticipated. Some ideas are best implemented now than allowing them to wait while some are bet...
