Innovation cannot be overemphasised, really! Governments must engage innovations that help create an enabling environment and infrastructure in order to foster development in all areas... Did you know that one in four persons with disabilities experience physical or sexual violence in a given year? Did you also know that in some countries, 82% of persons with disabilities are not employed? Let these inequalities be addressed and then we'll be moving toward a more inclusive society, country and world at large.

Hey you. It's time for another blockbuster! It will be futile to think of achieving the SDGs if we do not address the employment gaps that exist against persons living with disabilities, their lack of accessible workplaces and reasonable accommodation and ensure they have equal rights to work. The government must also step up to provide labour laws which support these people in order to make them more independent and reliable members of society.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), formerly called the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) should not be seen as documents too voluminous to be comprehended or official papers meant for the file cabinets in government offices. We should own it and live it. We should understand it and find a way to develop (in addition to government effort) navigating through the goals because they are in truth, a part of our lives. Listen, whether you're Christian or Moslem, Hindu or Buddhist, if true religion preaches goodness and love, then the SDGs certainly fall into the jurisdiction of your belief. It is part of the works (of charity) you should do to accompany your Faith... Learn with an open mind and do the Good you need to do... So here we goooo! What is your country's government doing with respect to the SDGs and how have they engaged businesses around this agenda?

Yippee! 🤗🤗🤗 Finally, the last episode of the Entrepreneurship Series is here!💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 It's been a Truly Insightful time learning about entrepreneurship (business) from men and women in business. In this episode Mr Brandon Beasley speaks about how he uses his skills as an author and content creator to provide services which give him a profit. Ultimately, the goal in all the entrepreneurship dialogue is to help realise that we should develop an entrepreneural mindset even if we don't own a business. We must get financially educated; do our research about how to make the money we need from making our skills and intellect work for us. Go ahead, visit your commercial bank, let their money managers educate you about how the money market works. Contact a financial advisor/investor and learn about the Stock Market, Treasury Bills and the likes. At the very least, have an investment and savings culture. You can start by using mobile apps like F&K Savings, PiggyVest, Investor Kerry and the like. When you take such steps, you not only become closer to becoming the ideal modern entrepreneur, but you also become more financially productive. Whether you are a traditional entrepreneur with a business module, manufacturing or selling a product and making a profit or you are the contemporary entrepreneur who's better at marketing and delivering other services through your skills while making a profit, you need to keep reading and learning. Check out these books: THE SMART MONEY WOMAN BY ARESE UGWU, EVERYDAY MILLIONAIRES:HOW ORDINARY PEOPLE BUILT EXTRAORDINARY WEALTH-AND HOW YOU CAN TOO BY CHRIS HOGAN, RICH DAD, POOR DAD BY ROBERT KIYOSAKI and other Great books to help keep you informed...

Valentine's Day? Yes please...♥️♥️♥️♥️ A day for licentiousness? A day for lewdness? A day for utter disregard for self-control? Certainly not!😏😏😏😏 People talk about Love many times solely in the context of sex and this reoccurs thoroughly on Valentine's Day. This shouldn't be so though. Sex should come as a major topic within a marital relationship. For those of us unmarried, we need to sit back and re-examine how we rationalise and view Love generally and within the context of a relationship as well as sex. Love and sex are two different things and living with this conviction is sacrosanct. Sex, yes, when there are two married people, comes out (as it should) as one way to express this immense feeling of Love which they share. But sex as we have it presently, doesn't look this simple because many of us have chosen to explore it as the whole meaning of Love hence we get into a myriad of emotional, health and physical problems. We also experience unplanned pregnancies no matter the kind of sex or sexual activity we get involved in. We get rejected, desperate and depressed all because of our misgivings about sex. Love is much more profound and all encompassing. Love builds up with time and bonding. Love is Sacrifice which cannot be overemphasized... Find out more in this episode.
