Moving On To Bigger Things

I have been quiet for long (again). But that's not 'cause I am tired of blogging (hell nah! far from it).

It's 'cause Miss Idowu here has been up to a lot, which required a lot of focus, energy, and a little bit of investing too (all types).

Good news is, I'm taking the blogging a step further and higher. Will spend more time blogging at a different location ( :( which means yet another dry spell over here) with a different approach/ focus.

Please stay with me and continue your amazing support. Follow US/Subscribe at gainrecruitment.blogspot.com . Visit to learn more about G.A.I.N.

We promise to be very entertaining, still very much insightful, and just as frequent...I mean before the dry spell periods :p or just scratch that. [You know what I mean anyway]

Thank you. And see you later xoxo

Remember Who YOU Are.

I truly don't get why people can get so depressed enough to commit suicide. Don't get me wrong, I understand that people can get so overwhelmed that the thought of not going on could come to ones mind (being there, done that), but to actually plan it all out and go through with it... No No No No *smh*

Thank God for wisdom though... and maturity... and real self-esteem. Talk as much crap about me, have your opinion about me, but it won't phase me because this is MY life i'm living, not any body else's. You do not understand me like I do. You can not love ME as much as I can.

So I thought I would share this with you this Sunday. You may not even know you are going through a challenge yourself till you watch the video and understand. And if you know someone else (male or female) who is always down, depressed, talking "insane"... or just a very dear friend; do share with them the video below:

Always remember, YOU are unique, YOU are loved, and YOU are AWESOME!

Happy Sunday y'all :*

Your Trash is Kelvin's inspiration.

Kelvin Doe is only 15 years old. He has not even gone off to the university yet. His story will make you feel weak, yet very strong.

Please watch the mini documentary here.

I'd like to add, that David also made a very valid point (which I have been trying to get people to pay serious attention to). He said, "Sierra Leone and many African countries receive aid, but it does NOT necessarily get us anywhere.WE ARE NOT LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. WE ARE NOT DESIGNING OUR OWN FUTURE."

Are you designing your own future?

Dreams Coming True: Case "Lupita"

Congratulations to Lupita Nyong'o'. She worked her butt off. Probably didn't expect this much fame and glory over a very short period of time (Dec. 2013 till now), however, this is just a typical example of hard-work paying off and believing in ones-self.

Receiving her award at the Oscars for best supporting actress

And as with fame comes backlash and misunderstandings. There's the Dencia vs Lupita ish, then a few minutes ago, I read about how some people are looking at her skin color as a seasonal "trend." Like that even makes any sense..."i like Pharrell's shorts suit, imma get me 5... i'm loving the new blonde looks, imma dye my hair blonde... i'm feeling Lupita's color, imma *blank*" #ridiculous

*Digress*
I thought to write this piece because I was watching on the news yesterday Dangote being interviewed. Dangote has made it to the top 25 Richest people in the world. Mike Adenuga is also on Forbes list... then I recollected someone telling me once that Adenuga was once a driver. And this man is now on Forbes list of the Richest people in the world. hmmm...what number am I on that list sef?! (Don't even bother teasing. A friend did and already told me it's not too late to become a driver :p #joker)
*Back to the matter*

Anyhoo, back to Lupita...

I wonder if she even thought she would have legends on her contacts list. 

She has graced the red carpet with her flawless skin (oh! how I love flawless dark-skin), rocked beautiful garments... however, I truly would have love to see her rock a little more African-inspired outfits or at least made by an African designer. Spread the love girl (or am I wrong?!)

Your dreams can come true... for real!

Greater than a Happy New Month

Don't you just hate those "Happy New Month" messages. You get the same "inspirational" text every month but for some reason your every-days seem to be all the same.

Personally, I don't think it's enough to wish people the generic 'Happy New Month.' Like for real, what does that gesture even mean?!

However, speaking in that context of wishes for others, we need to be a bit more motivating with our words. Even in churches today; only a few will tell you to pray against and for things. Let me explain (Kevin Hart inspired ;) lol):

• Some of our churches tell us to pray against a lot of things only, more than requiring us to pray FOR some things.
• We are also binding, rebuking, and breaking. What happens next? Everything is broken and you are left to just wonder what to do with your life now that you are free of all those "spiritual chains."

My point simply is after you pray/ work against something, start praying/ working for something else.

So on to the motivational ish...here's a little food for thought for the new month.

1. LEARN TO TAKE ACTION. "Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feeling, and emotion" - Will Smith
   

Internship Opportunities (my giving-back project)

I have definitely come up with a lot of great ideas in the past. Some I'm still praying will see the light of day; others... let's just call part of a phase in my life. But the most recent, I refuse to let go of. It's the introduction of an internship program in Nigeria.

I'm probably not the only one who has thought of it, or even the first to do it, however I have a goal and I refuse to let any "competition" destroy my passion for great (and fair) success in our children/ youths. I see a gap and I want to help seal it up. There is a need and I will help satisfy it.

I remember when I was in college, I was fortunate enough to experience what the outside world was like. I got a lot of practical experience, both in school and during my summer internship programs. They were all worth it. Learning something news is always worth it. However, I have noticed we do not have such an opportunity (as summer internships) prominent in Nigeria. Trust me, there is a huge different between a straight-As student who never got any experience on the field and a student with As and Bs and a little work experience here and there (it's called having an imagination and learning to think outside the box... also known as SUCCESS).

I'm in the inaugural stage of my project, but I need all the help I can get. I would appreciate a few volunteers to answer some survey questions, as well as people willing to hire the future of Nigeria. Any help I can get will be really appreciated. Help the kids... What would Jesus do? :)

If you even have any contributions at all or recommendations, do leave a comment or just hit me up directly.

I appreciate it, fam. God bless us all.

Discussion on the Nigerian Cement Industry

My girl, Ms. Oyinda Olanrewaju, was featured on CNBCAfrica on Tuesday, 28th January 2014. Please see the outlook/ analysis on the Cement Industry and do not hesitate to share your input on the discussion (or at least let her know how great she did).

By the way, did you know that the Nigerian cement industry is at the top of log in the Nigerian Export Promotion Council's (NEPC) list of exportable products?! That's right! According to news from the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, Nigeria has had a major success in the cement sector- and for the first time ever in this great nation's history, exported cement in 2013.

Find the link to the video here.

THEY know it...How come YOU DON'T!

First and Foremore, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.

So it's like I officially went on sabbatical. I went mute for a couple of months because I felt no one was really listening and figured, 'hmmm...I could always talk to myself in my head, why bother noting it down.' [I get crazy like that :p lol). However, like I'm trying to get you all; I got inspired myself.

Summary: Keep GOOD friends around. They are ALWAYS there when you least expect it. (S/O to Miss M. aka Smurfette. You know who you are *hehehe*)

Now to push your buttons:

So, I came across an article published by an Amy Chua (the Chinese lady behind "Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother) and Jed Rubenfield for the NYTimes. For those of you who haven't gotten the chance to hear about it or read up, the topic was on "What Drives Success" and they talk about the fact that other ethnic (non-American) groups seem to be doing way better and living the real American dream- equality of opportunities and achieving ones highest aspirations and goals. Here's my favorite part of the article highlighted below:

Please read it one more time and let it sink in.

This paragraph alone tells us how great a people we are and should be. Success is in us. The sad part is for some reason, we let that drive just shrivel once we are done with "school."

Let's get one thing straight. WE ARE A GREAT NATION! The Americans and a lot of others living in America (and outside) know it; why don't we show and act like it?!

It's 2014 people. NOW is the TIME FOR CHANGE!

M-Pact Dis! (Cain Village, Maryland)

We did it again. We had another Soup Kitchen this past Saturday.

For those of you with questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment. Anyone can get involved. It's all about giving back to the community...sharing with others; being thankful to God for what you have and what you are able to give.

This time we chose a community in Maryland (around Mende- under the bridge sha). Our locations are totally random so if you have an idea of a community we can visit next, please let us know :). At first, the community elders didn't want us around. They said, "we don't need (your) charity" however we saw the situation in that area and thought we could just move to a neutral spot and whoever visits gets blessed ;).

Anyways, here are the pictures of yet another successful outreach.

We had about 12 boxes of Indomie noodles, 40 bags of pure water sachets, 500 hard-boiled eggs (11 of those crates courtesy of STYTIG FARMS ;) ;) ). I'd like to toot my own horn though- I BOILED 330 EGGS ALL BY MYSELF that morning. #phew# That's a whole lotta work though.

Back to the pictures now:

M-Pact Dis! (Day at Modupe Cole)

On Thursday, I was privileged to make another trip to a place with great abilities (despite a number of shortcomings... my first visit there was in 2005, before I went off to college).

Modupe Cole is a Child care and Treatment center/school/home for handicapped and mentally challenged individuals, in Lagos state. It is located in Yaba and caters to people with different disabilities such as autism, multiple sclerosis, down syndrome, birth defeats, after-effects of polio, etc. Not everyone resides at the Home though; some of the children do come from their own homes.

This center is equipped with a school, vocational training rooms (shoe making, hair braiding, mop making, artistry, weaving, etc), a library, common rooms, as well as dormitories.

Do enjoy the pictorial/ video-capture of our (FirstBank executive trainees') fun day at Modupe Cole Center.

Prison, Break

What I did on Friday was way out of my ordinary. I'm all for charitable events, however, the thought of this one sent shivers down my spine.

Why?

...because it's a PRISON for heaven's sake. Too many thoughts went through my head at first..."What if a fight breaks out", "What if they get upset and think we are here to make fun of them", "What if they overpower the guards and attack us, visitors", What if...What if! Then again, why show any amount of care to these individuals. They are thieves, murders, drug traffickers, etc...pure evil! Do they really deserve an atom of charitable doings?!

 

The Nigerian Prisons Service, Ikoyi (located on Ribadu road)

Lo and behold, I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, it still houses all these criminals and much more. Though, they are still human and God is a forgiving God so who are we to scar them as devils, forever.

Outcome of the charity event (Ikota Outreach)

It went down last Saturday. It REALLY went down.

The charitable event I made mention of earlier took place on the 23rd of February, 2013. About 17 of us, bravely, traveled down to a little community in Ikota, to spread some 'Valentine' cheer (that's right! Show love anyways...just because).

It was comforting to give, however a bit saddening that people live in such bad conditions. Poverty isn't only the lack of; it is also the selfish act of not wanting to share what should conveniently go round. Simply put: Scarcity Mentality.

Bottom line is, I'm just glad a number of us were about to give back to our community. A community which was in a way part of our upbringing.

I won't bore you too much with words. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Welcome to your virtual presence at the Ikota Outreach.

Entrepreneurship (and serving the community)

2012 was a pretty cool year. We thought together. We shared ideas together. We also (day)dreamt together. However, 2013 is the year of implementation.

What's your plan this year? Future goals??? Do share (we can help each other grow).

On the note of helping each other, I have decided to join a FANTASTIC MAN in his passion of farming, and I tell you...it is still a topic of further (later...and thorough) discussion. I also have the privilege of being a part of two spectacular events coming up this weekend.

The first one is a Charity Event. My dear friend, 'Mide, is at it again.
[People, when you have a passion for something, you have NO CHOICE but to get it done]

So, 'Mide has put together another opportunity to bless the less privileged, with hampers (school bags) containing items like

Welcome to Mister AFRICA International ;)

Just LESS than a month ago, I introduced to you the young-mind called Twitch, who is without a doubt going places (and not waiting on a phone to ring or an employer to fall from the sky into his kitchen). Well, the House of Twitch is back with yet another innovative concept to improve the continent of Africa (and may I add, feed your eyes ;) ).

Mister Africa International is a quest to find the most adorable man of African origin (yes honey! It could be you ;;) ).

20 country representatives will travel down to London this year for the maiden edition of the Mister Africa International, the search for the most desirable man in the world, of African origin.
The two main problems facing most African countries are POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT. The winner of the Mister Africa International will dedicate his year to raising money for small scale businesses in Africa.

The Mister Africa International is organised by [you guessed it] ...the House of Twitch (producers of Mr. Ideal Nigeria pageant @ www.mridealnigeria.com) and Mr. Earth South Africa. Although first of its kind, the pageant promises to be a great one and will be held on the 29TH of SEPTEMBER, 2012 at LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, one of London's largest institutions.
(This venue has been chosen in the spirit of the Olympics)

"The idea is to gather some of the most handsome, sporty young men with amazing entrepreneurial skills in the  world of African Origin, which will happen in London, Home of the Olympics," Ayotunde Fabamwo, President of the pageant explained to Didatsy. 

Oh me, oh my! I need a front roll seat. Entrepreneurial skills are hard to notice from the back :D

Those who will wish to participate or want more information should email mister_africa@coolgoose.com or ayotunde@missomolewa.com

Do you have what it takes?!

Empowering the Kids

I was listening to the radio this morning. I think it was 99.2 FM or so. And for the first time ever, I didn't change the station while "random talking" was going on. They were talking about the next generation of kids and something I paid close attention to was when someone mentioned that in (junior) school, all kids are recognized whether they have exceptional grades or not and she thought this gave them no real idea of the real world, because in the real world, mediocrity does not get awarded (with a consolation price). Not everyone agreed with her idea of keeping it totally-real with the kids and only awarding those who actually deserve it - which should push the others to do better if they wanted to be recognized too (as well as be great in future). In their own defenses, mediocre kids need encouragement and consolation-acknowledgement is essential.

:-?

You have to agree with me though that kids of nowadays have no concept of reality, which  truth be told will set most of them (if not all) for failure in the real world.

I would like to share a speech I retrieved from the internet which has Bill Gates addressing a bunch of high school kids about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. You may already be aware of this talk, however, it's worth a second look.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!


Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.


Rule 3: You will NOT make $60, 000 (~ N 9.5 million) a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.


Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Series of Fortunate-Unfortunate Events

Lemme start off with my least risky encounter today.

I went to the British Council today (personal business people b-) ). I met with a young gentleman who was a security guard. We got talking (official business) and he told me how he was always excited to see marketers at work and stuff, while I was half not-interested - as I think marketing can be a drag 8-| . He enlightened me that he used to work as a marketer...#GetThis#...for Standard Chartered bank :-o . Now he's a security guard, just trying to make ends meet. He went on talking about how it's hard tryna talk to any girl he likes 'cause they won't take him seriously (ermm... a bit off topic he went). blah blah blah...

Anyway, I called that risky because it's a deep realization for a lot of us. We may be struggling (and I'm not saying you should settle for just anything), however, we should also realize that what we need to do is work every position we are in to our fullest potential.
[Also, I think he tried to hit on me just before I left :-/ ...Risky! yet fortunate]

So, I'm heading back to work after this encounter and trying to put down a quick note for my report when I get stopped by...ermm...not LASTMA or LAWMA or a Traffic Warden. Some dude in a Fushia-like uniform-top. He requests why my seat belt is not on x_x [I totally forgot to do that and didn't even notice him on time]. On a normal day, he would've made me pull over and sieved my vehicle and/or demanded a fine (which would go into his pocket, of course). But fortunately for me, he let me go...thank God 'cause I was definitely in the wrong here and wouldn't have known how to get out of it.
[Also, this guy I remember very well. He demanded I pay a fine sometime in the past, when my friends (Salo baby and Sole-sole) and I made a U-turn on that street. Apparently, that wasn't allowed and there were no signs but becuase he knows it's not allowed, he believed we were wrong ...RISKY! yet fortunate]

Now time for dessert!

Sitting at the traffic light, waiting for the green signal. The traffic signal finally changes to green. I look both ways to make sure no car is still approaching. Every incoming car seemed to have stopped right before the white line on the ground. Still proceeding with caution, then one bus zooms right across in front of me :-o...

I'm thanking God I wasn't in a hurry to go 'cause it wudda been a straight-up major causality. In shock and still proceeding with caution, another smaller car zooms right in front as well. I just looked straight at the SIX (6) traffic controllers in front of me, as some were still chatty, while the others looked shocked as well.
[RISKY!!! bless-you-Lord fortunate]

I'm still a believer of when-it's-your-time-it's-your-time and it obviously wasn't and isn't my time o:-) .
I have so much impact to make in my society. No one will bring me down.

NO ONE!!!

###P/S: Real names of friends hidden to protect their identity. hehehe :p ###

M-Pact Dis!

#yawn#

What a long weekend it was. Shout out to my muffin who celebrated her birthday this weekend. May God grant you good health and a prosperous life (IJN...Amen!)

Yes beautiful people. It's yet the end of another weekend, and a moment to share with each other the positives we've involved ourselves with during the week. Motivate each other to go into the new week with a better attitude (and make the world a better place).

I'll take the floor first ( 8-| like I always do) and say what other way to show love than showing great appreciation. The  act of kindness I would like to share with y'all is to WHOLE-HEARTEDLY THANK YOU ALL for the views, comments, support, and love you've shown to my page. I couldn't have made it this far without y'all (so believe it or not, you are actually nicer than you thought >:d< ). My blog is just 2 months old and I feel so accomplished already...and for that I say THANK YOU (Jah's blessings).

If there's anything else you think my blog might be missing and would like to suggest a few heres and theres, I'm very open to your suggestions (also as long as it doesn't defeat my purpose :-> )

So go out there and continue to be kind. Have a great JULY everyone. Happy New Month!!!

Do you daydream about inventions you would like to see happen but too scared to even delve into it?

I know I do, but the difference is I'm not scared. [Hunnie, if I was scared, I wouldn't even have this blog...and don't get me started on my ideas ;)...it's big baby!]


You have plans that could change the world. Not necessary for the aim of getting your name out there, but for the goal of making a GREAT IMPACT in the universe.

#AndNoI'mNotAnOprahFreak...Don'tEvenKnowHerLikeThat# 8-|

            "

                     Genius Idea: The Soccer Ball That Can Power a Lamp

      In 2010 Julia Silvermand and Jessica Matthews traveled halfway around the world, hoping to light

      up some of the more impoverished villages of South Africa and Nigeria by testing some soccer balls

      there. But not just any soccer balls: their Socckets, as they call them, house gyroscopic mechanisms

      that harness energy from the ball's motion. After being kicked around for 30 minutes, the balls can

      power a small LED lamp for three hours- long enough for a child whose home lacks electricity

      to do homework or read a book. Since most communities in Africa are crazy about soccer, the ball

      was a hit. "The kids thought it wad magic," Silverman says, "but I could also see the wheels turning

      in their heads. One boy came back with a drawing of a ball with windmills sticking out of it. They 

      wanted to be inventors, too."

      The idea of the Soccket dates to an undergraduate engineering class at Harvard. There, Silverman

      and Matthews...drew on their experiences abroad- Matthews's family is from Nigeria, and Silverman

      had worked in sub-Saharan Africa- to devise a technically simple idea that could make a huge differ-

      ence to the 1.4 billion people in the world living without electricity. The group knew that kerosene

      lamps emit dangerous fumes. While brainstorming alternatives, they thought of so-called shake 

      flashlights, which are powered by motion, not batteries. Soon they'd put one inside a hamster ball to

      demonstrate how the global mania for soccer might help bring light to the places that don't have it.

      After the term ended, Matthews and Silverman worked with a design firm to create a more realistic

      prototype, a dead ringer for an actual soccer ball, except for the small plug on the outside.

      In 2011, the duo quit their jobs...to focus on the Soccket...Matthews says "We want people to

      realize that making a difference doesn't have to be serious and boring. It can be as simple and fun

      as playing soccer."

                                                                                                                                        "

=d>                  ...                 :-b

I know what you are thinking. Finance is what's holding you back. Well if you have an idea that's phenomenal I bet no one would be stupid enough NOT to invest in such a gold-mine :-c . Plus, I'm all about making dreams come true. Pitch your idea to me ;) and we can strategize how to win with Dangote or whomeverz got the ...#HowDoIPutThis?!#... Cha-ching! b-)

So, what's it gonna be? Are you gonna remain a dream-killer 8-} ? A daydreamer 8-> ? Or a Go-getter <):) ?!

Q: I’m ready to spice it up a little, Twitch ;), if I may?! What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

A: Most embarrassing moment? That’s a hard one. Well, I guess falling in front of the media in my ORANGE blazer wasn’t any fun.

Q: What is your favorite body part (on yourself and someone you would be attracted to)?

A: I love my triceps. Makes my T-shirt fit and when it comes to my ladies, I like them curvy.

Q: Are you currently seeing someone? If not, would you be interested in being set on a blind date ;)?

A: Yes, I am seeing a very special someone. Her name’s Miss Ojiegbe. She was a star in Gulder’s Ultimate Search.

Well, when I was single, I would have loved to be on a blind date. It would be so perfect if Miss Tiwa Savage was at the other end of the table;) .

*Conversation over*

Great choice Mr. Fabamwo…I mean, Twitch. There you have it folks. If he’s not the NEXT BIG THING, RIGHT-NOW mister, and a TRENDING YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR, I don’t know what is. #AndObamaMayActuallyBeWhite#

There's so much information I can feed you with at one go. However, for more info, log on to www.mridealnigeria.com

Thank you Twitch for your time (here with me and that spent impacting Nigeria). Wishing you all the best, dear friend. xoxo
