Watching the ongoing discussions about the restructuring of Nigeria in Abuja fills me with hope and excitement. I am particularly happy to see the growing desire among Yoruba communities from Jebba and Igbomina in Kwara, Kabba and Lokoja in Kogi, our Itsekiri brothers in Delta, and the Yoruba communities of Akoko Edo to strengthen their connection with Yoruba brothers in the Southwest.
Our shared history and ancestral ties remain strong. If the people freely choose greater unity through peaceful and democratic processes, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter.
Give us a few years to this time, with unity, vision and serious investment, I believe the Yoruba people can build another Lagos with great economic powerhouse, including a world-class mega coastal city along the Itsekiri axis.
The Yoruba story is still unfolding, and the future looks promising. 🌍💪🏾
After building a few businesses, one lesson has become very clear to me:
Most businesses don’t get stuck because of the economy. They get stuck because of the owner.
Here are three common reasons:
1. You have become the bottleneck.
Your staff can’t make simple decisions without you.
Customers only want to speak to you.
Every payment, every approval, every problem comes to your table.
At first, that’s normal. But if it continues, your business can never grow bigger than you.
