MY EXPERIENCE AS A BUS CONDUCTOR

Image
  Photo source: Google "Geology in the bus" they laughed. After 4 years you're practicing Geology inside the bus. Well, I didn't give a blink about them, I issued out the ticket, got my money, and moved to the next client. Yes, the bus was footing my bills besides if I handed over the money that I made from the bus to them they'll not reject it because it's from the bus. So, I asked him  "If I give you the money 💵 that I make from here will you reject it because it is from the bus?" I did not bother waiting for their response before moving the next passenger to issue the ticket. This was the response that I gave to one of the graduate assistants in my department who joined the metro blue I was serving as a ticketing officer in the Oban route years back. Well Don't be surprised by the fact that I worked as a conductor inside a bus...🤣🤣🤣ticketing officer rather. I grew up with an independent mindset. Even though I had parents who were capable o...

MOSES AND THE ROD

GOD: What is in your hand?  MOSES: A rod GOD: Ah! Just a rod? MOSES: It is what it is? GOD: Cast, it on the ground MOSES: Ah!! I didn't bargain for this. (He flee from it) GOD: Return, and pick it up again. Courageously, he held his hand out and picked up the serpent-turned rod. Moses had experienced the different dimensions of God right from his experience in the burning bush but he still doubted the call of God upon his life and the assignment God had assigned him. Moses looked for every possible way to restrain from answering the call of God upon his life. Your excuses are as valid in your life as you want them to be. If you believe you can you will but if you believe you can't you won't. This got God angry at him, as a child I felt pained over why God had refused him from entering the promised land after all his toil and suffering from Egypt. I felt God was wicked and mean towards him after all his plea to him...Father, I'm sorry 💔  God sees more than we do and und...

FROM MY STUDY

Good morning world, 🌎 It's a beautiful Tuesday morning here in the city of Uyo The atmosphere is calm and friendly How's your location? What have you been up to this morning? Have you studied your scripture this morning? I hope you caught a rhema to guide you through your activities today? If you're yet to study yours, it's not too late to do so. Suspect, you're wondering what I have been up to  I'll tell you because I am committed to your wellbeing. Recently, I've been studying the book of Matthew and Genesis and the journey has been refreshing. Studying the scripture opens me up to deep insight and that is where I draw my inspirations from.  I saw something striking while studying the book of Matthew Chapter 13 this morning and it created mix feelings within me.  I had to take a look deep into my life, this brought tears to my eyes. Well, I can not turn back the hands of time, I owe myself the duty of being a better me every moment of my life. I whispered...

THE INNER PROMPTINGS

  Praye r is the believer's weapon of victory  What do you do when you have the stirring within you to pray? Do you wave off the feeling? It can be tempting to ignore this prompting especially when you are feeling sleepy or amid an activity. I woke up at about 1:00 am on June 22nd, 2020. I did not wake up to pray but to make use of the restroom. It became difficult for me to sleep back afterward. I had a stirring in my heart to pray. There was no zeal to do so,  I needed to sleep so that I could catch up with the next day's activities. The stirring lingered on, it was a fight between my spirit man and physical man. My mouth couldn't just open. I was clueless about what to pray about, after about 30 minutes of struggle. I managed to open my mouth,  " Lord, I don't know why you want me to pray for this night. You know more than I do, take over and grant me the utterance" Well, no lines of prayer came out. I was still clueless about what to say or how to even sta...

ACT OF KINDNESS

 Hello, 👋 How are you today? Success is not about how much money you make. it's about the difference you make in people's life.                      Michelle Obama Reflect on this...  To make impact in life, give more than what you intend to receive. The truth is, it will always have a way of coming back to you but when all you care about is what you'll receive, you may never smash the goal or attain the height that you're envisaging. You don't need a stage or podium before you can make a difference in people's lives. You don't even need all the money in this world to create a lasting impression in the heart of others. This morning, I was a little behind schedule leaving for work. Where I'm living I need to make use of the services of a motorcyclist before getting to the junction where I'll get a tricycle that would convey me to my office. We greeted and walked passed the lady whom I assume she was on her way to work as w...

ON SUSTAINABILITY

Image
  Never start a business with the mindset that the people close to you or that know you will patronize you or build the business with you else you'll be frustrated. Don't also start a business with the mindset of having people to sponsor you.  Put structures in place that will enhance productivity with or without sponsorship, your presence, or availability per time.  Question to ask yourself while putting the sustainability of plan in place.  🖍Can my business survive or stand the taste of time without my presence? If yes, how? If not, what should I do?  🖍What can I add to what I am currently doing so that my customers will keep coming back to me? 🖍How can the different aspects of my business services benefit each other? Carefully, carry out a SWOT analysis for your business and provide adequate ways of handling your threats. Human resource is the strength of a business. Poor quality human resource equates to low sales turnover.  Your sustainability plan ...

YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS

  What do you consider 🤔 most when building or joining a business?  How to make sales? Your target market? Where to market the product? The problem that your business will solve? There is an aspect of business that people seem not to talk so much about. I don't know why, or could it be because we're in a fast era and everything should be done immediately.  Having and knowing who your customers will be is good, solving and meeting the needs of people is perfect. Making sales is super... sales are the lifeline of every business. But, how about the SUSTAINABILITY of the business? So many businesses have gone down the drain because structures were not put in place for sustainability.  Sustainability refers to the ability of something to maintain or "sustain" itself over time. (Daniel Thomas) A good sustainability plan should be able to meet the present needs and still have the potential to serve future generations. Don't look at a business from the standpoint of ...

  When a child is born, it comes with so much excitement, especially for a first-term mummy.    🥰 It rekindles hope and assurance for the family for a better future. Wow Do you remember, what happened while you were trying to build your business? Can you recall the excitement that filled your heart when you first launched your business? How about the hope that was reassured all over you when you first started. Photo source: Canva The new mum will do everything possible to keep her baby from being hurt and will go all out to get the best formula for the baby. She keeps reassuring the baby of giving her a better life despite the challenges that may present themselves.  I can remember when I had my first baby, I made all the purchases including the things that I never made use of. Can you recall the things that you did when you first launched out? Can you recall how you went about crazily doing things that will build your business? Are you still speaking l...
