The best things in life are often the simplest—love, peace, kindness, gratitude, and the moments we share with those who matter most.

Sometimes, slowing down is all it takes to notice how much beauty already exists in everyday life.

A Message to Our Youths: Respect Before Recognition

One of the greatest investments you can make in life is to develop the habit of respecting people without first knowing their qualifications, titles, wealth, or social status. Respect should be a value, not a reward.

The person you ignore today may become your employer, business partner, mentor, or even the one who opens a life-changing door for you tomorrow. More importantly, every human being deserves dignity simply because they are human.

As young people, avoid the temptation to measure others by their appearance, possessions, or position in society. Instead, let humility, kindness, and good character define your interactions.

Parents should teach their children to respect everyone, regardless of status or wealth, because true character is built on kindness, humility, and respect—not recognition.

Success is not only about how high you rise, but also about how well you treat people on your journey to the top.

A respectful generation builds stronger families, healthier communities, and a more united nation. In a world where many seek attention and validation, strive to be known for your integrity, empathy, and courtesy.

Remember, titles can be acquired, wealth can be lost, and positions can change, but good character leaves a lasting legacy.

To our youths: Stay humble. Work hard. Respect everyone. Your character will take you places that qualifications alone cannot.

What matters more for lasting succes- status or character?

The Power of Delegation: Building Leaders, Not Followers

One of the greatest leadership mistakes in many of our organizations, particularly in the public service, is the failure to delegate responsibilities. Many leaders prefer to handle everything themselves, believing that holding on to tasks is a way of retaining power and control. Unfortunately, this approach does more harm than good.

When we refuse to delegate, we deny our subordinates the opportunity to learn, gain experience, and develop confidence in their abilities. An organization can only grow when its people are given the chance to contribute meaningfully.

I remember the first time I was appointed as a Branch Manager in a bank. One of my senior colleagues invited me to his office, congratulated me, and gave me a piece of advice that shaped my leadership journey. He said, “Delegate some of your responsibilities to your team members, but continue to monitor their performance and take overall responsibility for the outcome.”

I embraced that advice, and it worked remarkably well. My team members became more skilled, motivated, and confident. Over time, many of them grew into outstanding professionals and leaders, not only within my branch but across other branches in the area. Their success became a testament to the power of trust and mentorship.

Sadly, the opposite is often seen in many workplaces today, especially in the public sector. Some employees do not even know the full scope of their job descriptions because their supervisors perform most of the tasks themselves. In some cases, a single superior takes on the work of an entire department or agency, leaving subordinates idle and inexperienced.

This culture creates dependency rather than competence. When such leaders leave office or retire, institutions struggle because there is no capable successor to carry on the work.

True leadership is not about making oneself indispensable. It is about building a team that can function effectively even in one’s absence. A good leader teaches, mentors, supervises, and empowers others to succeed.

Delegation is not a sign of weakness or loss of authority. It is a mark of confidence, wisdom, and strategic leadership. By entrusting responsibilities to others while providing guidance and oversight, we create future leaders, strengthen our institutions, and ensure continuity.

A leader’s greatest legacy is not the number of tasks they completed alone but the number of capable people they developed along the way.

As the saying goes: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

The Price of Visibility

Today, I attended a function, and what I witnessed left me speechless. It made me realize just how deeply the culture of “pay-to-be-seen” has crept into our society.

The official cameramen engaged by the event organizers were busy selectively taking pictures and videos of certain individuals. It didn’t take long to notice a pattern—those receiving the most attention appeared to have made prior arrangements.

This reminded me of an experience I had at a political event some time ago. After the event, I asked one of the cameramen to send me my pictures. He scrolled through his collection and then said, “Hajia, you’re hardly in the important shots, especially those with the big personalities.”

Curious, I asked why.

His response was simple but revealing: “Next time you attend an important occasion and want visibility with the big shots, make sure you speak to a cameraman beforehand.”

Today, I witnessed exactly what he meant.

In this age of social media, visibility has become a form of currency. Photos and videos shape public perception, influence opportunities, and sometimes even determine who is considered relevant. But should visibility come with a price tag? Should access to the camera depend on private arrangements rather than equal coverage?

Perhaps we’ve reached a point where corruption is no longer confined to public offices or financial dealings. It has quietly seeped into everyday interactions, even into something as simple as who gets to be seen and remembered.

Food for thought: If recognition can be bought, what happens to merit, authenticity, and fairness?

Nawa ooooo!!
