Here's congratulations to my boss, Mrs Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe as she assumes office as the MD/CEO of Fidelity Bank PLC today.

I have worked with you for over 10 years across 3 different institutions and I can attest to your resourcefulness, unbelievable energy and industry knowledge
Sometimes, when I'm tired, I usually brace up when I see the kind of drive and energy you bring to bear on the job. Your passion for the job is truly inspiring. You always lead from the front.
You have a way of bringing the best out of anyone who comes in contact with you and your love for charity is very commendable. You taught me how to be courageous. I have never seen you intimidated by anything before. To you, any budget is just mere figures.
I can write a whole book on your impact on my life and career- and I will do this someday.
The most endearing quality I can think of is that you're truly humane. Real. No pretences. Full of humour. Full of life. What you see is what you get. You truly have a good heart. And the Hand of the Lord is upon you.
I'm so glad I'm alive to witness this day. May the Lord grant you unprecedented achievements as the CEO and may your light shine brighter.

Congratulations, ma’am.

The Law of The Stretch

I had become dissatisfied with my career at that point. Having started my career in Ibadan and having lived there all my life, I felt there was more. I remember how I felt there was a void within. Outwardly, things looked okay but inwardly, I was a mess.
I knew that if I wasn’t careful, I would just settle into a comfortable zone and that may just be the end of my career. Everyone loved Ibadan- the cost of living was low and I had almost everything, at least compared to those within my immediate space.
One of the greatest mistakes you can make is to benchmark your life by those within your immediate space or circle of influence. You will think you’re making progress until you get out and see others who will challenge you. And that was what I decided to do.

Lessons I Learnt From Dr Ubong King: If You Do Not Defend Your Market and Take Over, Then Your Market Will Become The Market Others Will Share

Dr Ubong King was our Guest Speaker during the month of March at our Directorate Retreat and he spoke on our theme Audacious.
The hall was quiet as he dropped the wisdom keys during a very intense session. I’ve been mulling over his words since I learnt of his demise and I just want to reminisce on the words of a man who has now joined the saints triumphant.
Here are some take-aways:

1. The success of any institution lies in its process.
2. Business is war. If you do not defend and take over the market, then your market will become the market others will share.
3. Your strength is hidden in your confidence.

Ubong King- For You, The Chariot Has Come

When I got the message this morning, I screamed in disbelief. I tried your two lines and they were unreachable. It was when I reached your wife that the truth of the finality of this tragedy hit me.
My boss, you came like a meteor and left on the wings of a chariot. In just a short phase, your footprint was everywhere. Your voice rose above the cacophony of other echoes, blazing forth inspiration and speaking illumination.
You were a light that could not be hidden. You shine till we all acknowledged the alzgift that you were. 

I will never forget when I contacted you to speak at our Retreat earlier this year. Your words still ring in my ears.

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.

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.
