Prepare for your Time


Life has phases and stages. It is like educational pursuit. If you don’t start from primary school, nobody will admit you into secondary school, likewise, if you don’t finish secondary school, no one will admit you into the university even if your father is the VC; so is life.
You must follow life stages, whether you like it or not. The Holy Book says “there is time for everything under the sun. The time to be born, the time to be married and be given to marriage…” So wait for your time, it will surely come. And when it finally comes, you will shine in spite of your age.
I hear people comparing themselves with others “just see Peter of yesterday is now driving a car. When we were in school, I use to teach him, so and so…” You don’t need to look at other people like that. It is their time that is why they are “enjoying”; when your own time comes, no one will stop it – not even the witches and wizards in your entire village.
Looking at people like that brings envy and jealousy; and this has never helped anybody. In fact, it has destroyed our society. It is one of the root causes of “sudden death” of young men and women in our communities these days.
I always tell people when I have the opportunity to do so that, the fact that I am trekking the street today does not mean I can’t drive a Jeep tomorrow. The fact that I fail today, does not mean I will fail tomorrow also. The fact that I am in the village today does not mean I will not visit the White House in Washington tomorrow.
So, why bother yourself and envy other people that they are progressing. Why bother yourself for something you cannot change? If you think you can change it by pulling other people down or killing them, remember that if you want to be a king, then, you don’t have to kill a king.
The Holy Bible says “those who live by the sword will eventually die by the sword… Whatever measure you give others will be your portion in the end”.
What you should be doing right now as your time has not come is to be preparing for your time, so that when it comes, you will be well prepared to take on opportunities that will present themselves.
If you are going about pursuing other people to pull them down, when your time comes, you will not be prepared for it, and all that is meant for you will pass you by.
Prepare and wait for your time, it will surely come no matter how long it tarries. A word is enough for the wise.

Future Trends and Techniques in Segmentation

Segmentation consists of group of buyers or a process of identifying groups of buyers who share similar set of need and wants.  It is the breakdown of the market for a particular product or service into segments of customers, which differs in terms of needs, wants, lifestyle, religion, income level, gender, buying process etc, and their response to marketing strategies. Today’s organisations need fresh thinking on how to operate and compete in the new economy characterised by hypercompetition, customization and digitalisation. An organisation cannot serve all the consumers in the entire market, the consumers are too many and are too diverse in their buying process.  An organisation therefore, needs to identify the market segment(s) it can best serve. Organisations been aware of these facts has been segmenting their products offerings to target a particular segment(s) of the market rather than using the old method of mass-marketing.  ...

When God created us, did He created us with the computer? So if God did not created us with these things, where did they come from? They were all hidden within us. Some hundred years back, Henry Ford has an idea within him that he wants people ...

The Hydrological Cycle

In nature, there is a cycle which brings great blessing to the earth. It is known as the hydrological cycle. It takes two process, through evaporation and rainfall. In evaporation, water evaporates from the oceans and lakes, then rises in the air mass and forms clouds. Then the moisture condenses and comes down as rain to water the earth. This makes the land fruitful and productive. The excess rainfall overflows back to the lakes and oceans where it comes from and this process begins again. In business, the products or services you are offering to the market has its cycle that it must follow. The theoretical aspect which also applies in the practical starts from the initiation/development of such a product or service to its introduction, growth, maturity, saturation and decline. Once it gets to the declining stage, the product or service has completed its cycle and must start all over again. This hydrological cycle has to be understood by every business man or woman and anybody that wa...
