market, africa and the USA

Unlike Uber, Relationship Hero, Beepi and others, Aregbesola was able to convince the supply side of the market which consists of Bankers, Investors and Sellers to invest in the market he is making, that way, it gives the market the deserved credibility and exposure which automatically solves the chicken and egg problem

focus

The problem of focus is the problem of options. When we have lots of options, it dissuades us into thinking we can be whatever we want to be, while that’s true, the reality remains we can’t be everything.

organization and domination

People who see organizations as an instrument of domination are often terrible people to work with and for. They see employees as objects to be subjugated. They also tend to see the natural resources available to the company as theirs to exploit . When this metaphor works: in some cases, this is the most realistic […]

the organization, a tale of CEOs

I can now confidently posit that organization is the biggest challenge in Nigeria. And whoever solves this problem would be the winner come next decades.

I move straight to my little farmland which I earlier dropped some pepper seeds, the seeds I got from some of the local dishes we made back home. While surveying my child Farm, […]

Hearable is Not The Future of Technology

The conversation used to be around Wearable technology, and now the next shiny technology is hearable, which seems to be more interesting to me even when I know it is just what it is – another shiny technology! Technology created a new kind of inequality, and this kind of inequality ranges from literacy to semi-literate, […]

Lesson/s from volunteering on Dr Kings Day

Dr King birthday was last week Monday, and I was involved in a volunteering experience at a middle school in Lafayette which is just a couple of miles away from Boulder. While this was my first time volunteering in the USA, it was not my first volunteer experience as I have many of it back […]

Culture, Technology, Development and the Underserved Societies
