Truthfully,
Breaking through in life might not be time able or limited by age.
Delay might never mean denial.
But ask your self, Are you pressured ?
If Yes, Derive Peace from this constraints

I am afraid, this does not fly, in my opinion.
If you deliberately establish a “first-name” culture, it should apply broadly, including to senior leadership, unless the policy explicitly carves out the board (by the way, imagine setting a culture and it is not starting from the top).
Yes, non-executive directors occupy a different governance position from employees and executive management, but their unique position within the company does not inherently exempt them from the first-name policy.
If a company says “we operate a first-name culture. Irrespective of seniority, employees address one another by their first names”, then having an unwritten exception “but obviously you don’t call a director or person xyz by their first name” undermines the philosophy behind the policy.
After all, the purpose of a first-name culture is usually to reduce unnecessary status signaling, make senior people more approachable and create a less hierarchical working environment.
If management wants the convention to be “first names for everybody below the board, formal titles for directors”, then say so.
It is highly problematic when the written or communicated policy says one thing while an invisible hierarchy says something else.
What is all these talk about “wisdom”, “culture”, etc.? If those things indeed were a big deal, why the performative stunt of “first-names policy”?
Or why is no one directing the “wisdom” yarn to TOE that the young lady is still very young, maybe inexperienced, and does not understand yet how things ideally work, and so you do not come off as conflicting what the laid-down principle is publicly?
If the irritation comes from “I am way older and way above you in status”, was that not considered before setting a policy? You all didn’t know that?
You import the form of an institution without accepting the behavioural implications that give the institution meaning. The company gets to present itself as having a flat, progressive culture without senior people actually surrendering any of the status markers associated with the old culture.
This is how we bastardise concepts and principles.
If the organisation is not comfortable with the consequences of that philosophy, there is much cleaner solution… “Simply don’t adopt the policy”.
Be hierarchical. Be formal. Require whatever title or whatever conventions you consider appropriate.
I wouldn’t call TOE by his first name too, but that’s me. But saying “we are on a first-name basis here” and then humiliating someone doing that is an inconsistency that is worse.
At the heart of it, this really speaks to a broader problem of weak institutional culture and “big-manism ” in the corporate world, where formal policies supposedly apply to everyone until they clash with status and hierarchy.
“Can you call Aliko or Femi Otedola by their first name?” Let them not implement first-name policy if it would be an issue or if the “cultural context” is that very strong (and that would be perfectly fine).
Institutions should be stronger than personalities. Let���s quit all that performative nonsense.
I said Peter killed Ananias and Sapphira, someone is coming to argue with me that Peter doesn't have that power. That nobody has the power to ruin anybody's life.
My problem is that powerless people do not understand how power works. A believer who walks with the Holy Spirit
@TomiwaDavid6@EmeritusTolu@nifemi_oe And that is the point.
However long or short it is doesn’t matter.
It’s easy to say 5 months is not necessary because it ended well and we can see the result.
Do you know many more that going on breaks will solve the “clouded emotions”
@EmeritusTolu@nifemi_oe Just two questions,
Do you think emotions can cloud one’s judgement as a believer ?
Are two good Christians “always” perfect for each other ?
To burn out is better than to fade away. Better to be consumed by passion than by regret.
Apply yourself. Commit fully. Leave little of your potential unexplored.
Not every pursuit will succeed, but few things are more tragic than a life spent wondering what might have been.
There should be a difference when Christians are arguing and when the “world” are
That iota of doubt that this is my sister in Christ should leave room for nuanced conversations.
If you followed through the conversations today, it went beyond showing the log in the eyes
@Temmie_praise Nothing was done to her, bro. People were simply pointing out the similarities between selling books and selling tickets. Sometimes it takes someone else removing the log from your eyes before you can see clearly.

If we as a people can move from separating issues and persons.
We can get more results.
What was done to this lady in the past hours was unfair irrespective of her take.
There should be a benefit or an iota of doubt when engaging people. At least give them the opportunity
Hi guys,
Following the conversations around selling tickets for gospel events, I’ve taken time to genuinely consider the perspectives that were shared with me. I realized there were angles I hadn’t given enough thought to, and I now understand the issue better than I did when I made my post.
Because of that, I’ve deleted the post.
I realize I was too quick to make a judgment. It wasn’t my intention to attack or condemn anyone, but I can see how my words came across that way. Looking back, I should have framed it as a question or opened a conversation instead of making a definitive statement.
Regarding my book, I also hadn’t considered it from the perspective many of you pointed out. At the time, I was primarily focused on the fellowship and ministry aspect of the conversation, and I wasn’t seeing the broader picture. Hearing your thoughts helped me realize there were angles I hadn’t sufficiently considered.
My post was never aimed at any particular gospel artist or minister. In fact, I wasn’t thinking about anyone’s event when I made it. I’m still learning, growing, and allowing my perspectives to be refined, and I’m grateful for the correction.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who felt attacked or condemned by my words. That was never my heart.
I deeply believe in the ministries of these gospel artists. We are one body in Christ, and I don’t want to contribute to unnecessary division or attacks against one another.
Thank you to everyone who engaged respectfully and helped me see things from a different perspective. I appreciate it, and I’ll carry the lessons from this conversation going forward.
@_ebades And this is my point exactly.
We should have a space that clear cut conversations can be had without muddling of waters.
I don’t agree with her take. I for one thinks it disingenuous. But the way some people communicated their grievances was a pure attack.
Rinse and repeat conversation every single year.

Lol, I am not surprised. When it comes to Ronaldo, the standards are lowered to the floor.
Harry Kane has created 284 chances and 116 "big chances" across his career in the Premier League and Bundesliga.
But with Ronaldo, nothing is expected.
So, he doesn't have to dribble.
He doesn't have to press.
He doesn't have to create chances.
He doesn't have to lead transitions.
He doesn't have to link up plays.
He doesn't have to do anything.
As long as he camps and ghosts for 90 mins but gets a penalty. It is a good day.
Ronaldo was done since 2022. Now, you all can accept it
You cannot set up a camera to drag me and think you are “correcting me”😂
I wear corsets
And I don’t wear it for anybody😂
There is a reason why I wore it with a suit blazers to church and not bare
The problem I have with that fat fool is that his niche is tearing down female believers for their outfit
And I’m not a religious person (jsyk😂)
So if one “non-religious” outfit makes me not “born again” to you
I don’t care😂😂😂
In the grand scheme of things (my salvation)
You don’t matter
At all😌
I’m not even indecent
So you can’t pull that card on me
I have a very decent wardrobe
And I love being modest
Most times I just come out fashionable
And the fact that I wore a corset that makes you see my cleavage doesn’t mean I’d stop💀💔😂
(I wear these corsets once in a year)
So you’re opportune to see it early this year😌
When next you or any other religious fanatic wants to “judge” me or “correct” me
Do it privately cos idgaf😌💅🏻
