My Christmas Gifts: The 2 Winners of Free Websites

After Philip Amiola @PlenipotentCo gifted me a website, I also promised to give 2 people free websites fully paid by me as a way of paying it forward- one candidate from Twitter and the other from Facebook.
I gave some rules which include the fact that the case must be compelling and intended beneficiaries must show they can't afford one. They must also demonstrate how it will improve their business.
I've selected the 2 final beneficiaries after a rigourous consideration of all entries which included background checks. I disqualified all the candidates who sent me personal messages which was against the rule.
The first winner who is from Twitter is Jimoh Habibullahi @cytosine_real. Jimoh's case was the most compelling as he included many screenshots and evidence to show his efforts. I'm really pleased with how he marshalled his arguments- simply brilliant (see attached screenshots).
The second winner from Facebook is Adebayo Oluwafemi Babatunde. His contribution to child advocacy and development is what caught my attention.
Though I would have loved him to marshall his arguments just like Jimoh did, I love the fact that a website will help him impact the nation positively through his research and writings.

The clincher for me was Jimoh’s promise to pay it forward. I hope you both do.
Congratulations to Jimoh Habibullahi and Adebayo Oluwafemi Babatunde. Please inbox your contact details and I'll ask Philip @PlenipotentCo to get in touch with you.

Merry Christmas.

New Year Prophecies....

Took these pics a few weeks ago in the UAE when my colleagues and I were there to deliver a workshop. The development in this part of the Gulf in just 18years shows this is more than just the work of 'faith'.
None of China, South Korea or Indonesia is a 'Christian' nation by origin, and yet all have experienced more development than any African Country that became independent about the same time.
As you individually prepare to receive powerful prophetic utterances in a few days about your new year, please remind yourself of what I believe makes prophecies happen:

The Next 20 Years

Just look around you in Nigeria, for example. 20 years ago, the ATM machine was a novelty. No bank issued debit cards- maybe just the foreign ones. There were no banking apps. You couldn't transfer funds the way we do now.
It took 7 days for your 'upcountry' cheques to clear- meaning that if someone pays you a cheque in Sokoto and you pay it in in Ibadan, you had to wait for 7 days to receive value. Later, it became 3 days.
I recall as a young banker, I used to go to the CBN Clearing House with a box that was locked by my supervisor and which could only be opened by the CBN Clearing Supervisor. I carried that box like it was my life.

Re: The Law of Recovery- And The Mother of The Baby Responds

When I wrote the article The Law of Recovery which I posted a few days ago, I didn't expect it would get the kind of reaction it did.
The post went viral and it was published and shared on so many blogs and school sites including WhatsApp platforms. It was just a coincidence that it was posted around the time the complaint about the Akwa Ibom school came to the fore.
My wife will bear me witness that I wrote it before then but I just waited for her to verify all the assertions before I post.

The Best Christmas Story Ever Told

The reason he was born in a manger. Why she had to visit Elizabeth in the sixth month. Why she had to stay with her cousin Elizabeth for three months. Why Elizabeth had to hide herself for five months.
Why the wise men had to bring gifts especially gold. Why they named his cousin John. Why the angels appeared to shepherds. Why Joseph was chosen as the father.
‘Everything is clear now', Mary exclaimed with a start. With her bright but saggy eyes lightening up and her mouth agape, she let out a deep sigh that reverberated into the night.

The Law of Recovery

When I got the call that day a few years ago, I knew there was trouble. Big trouble. My wife called that a caregiver had broken the leg of a baby at the crèche. Was it an accident?
I asked her to rush down to the school and take charge of the situation. She was actually on her way for a course she registered for.
When she got to the school, she played back the CCTV with the parents of the child in attendance. She didn’t believe the initial story she was told about the child falling down because all the floors were heavily padded. The child’s leg was already in plaster-of-paris.

The Law of Trust

“I’m not upset that you lied to me. I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe in you”- Friedrich Nietzsche

Sometimes in October, I received a call from a former client who had been out of the country for almost a year.
He is not a Nigerian but had just secured an appointment with a company. His first statement was “Bayo, I need to pick your brain on this because with you I know where I stand. I know you’ll not deceive me”.
After our discussion, he told me he had already informed his Chairman that their banking relationship had to come to me. I’ve signed it on since.
