My Experience #CustodianMentorsConference 2019 #CustodianMentors

With Oby Ezekwesili; The former Minister of Education. No, I am not pregnant My heart is full of gratitude as I write this blog. I have seen great people but never have I met the ones who I have looked up to from afar. Recently, I had tweeted about Subomi Plumtre and how much I love her. She has the ability to put down what I think but can't write(believe me, this takes a lot of grace). I have gone as far as reading most of the posts on her website. The only thing I am yet to do is subscribe to her investment class, which I hope to do soon. With Subomi Plumptre I always knew me and this woman have so many things in common. — Jane Chima (@JaneChima1) April 27, 2018 and This woman knows how to put down what I can't write or explain. I will get there 😊 — Jane Chima (@JaneChima1) March 27, 2018 With Leke Alder (My Left)and Fellow Mentees I didn't know that I would meet her in person much less be in the same room with her and other great ...

Let's Forget About The Government For A Minute, How Do You Treat Your Gateman?

Sometime ago, I lived in a compound that employed a Nigerien as gate man/security guard. His name was Abdul. He was friendly, spoke clean aboki English and would run errands only if you reward him in cash.  After living in that compound for a few weeks, I discovered that the room Abdul slept in was unpalatable. He had a terrible mattress, rain and Sun beat him there. The landlord refused to fix the room. His duties were to wash every tenant's car, run errands and to open/close the gate. I would watch in despair every time he brings out his mattress for the sun do dry after a heavy downpour and "pack" water from his "apartment". Worse, some of my co-tenants refused to pay their dues to him. The monthly contributions we paid were his salary.  Abdul came to me after a few months of being owed.  Abdul: Welcome madam, abeg I wan tell you something. Me: Wetin happen? Abdul: I wan tell you wetin I never tell anybody for this compound. These pe...

DNC 2012: OBAMA'S SPEECH

Michelle, I love you. The other night, I think the entire country saw just how lucky I am. Malia and Sasha, you make me so proud.but don’t get any ideas, you’re still going to class tomorrow. And Joe Biden, thank you for being the best Vice President I could ever hopefor. Madam Chairwoman, delegates, I accept your nomination for President of the United States. The first time I addressed this convention in 2004, I was a younger man; a Senate candidate from Illinois who spoke about hope – not blind optimism or wishful thinking, but hope in the face of difficulty;hope in the face of uncertainty; that dogged faith in the future which has pushed this nation forward, even when the odds are great; even when the road is long. Eight years later, that hope has been tested – by the cost of war; byone of the worst economic crises in history; and by political gridlockthat’s left us wondering whether it’s still possible to tackle the challenges of our time. I know that campaigns can seem smal...

DNC 2012: FULL TEXTS OF BILL CLINTON'S SPEECH

We're here to nominate a President, and I've got one in mind. I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. A man who ran for President to change the course of an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election, saw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression. A man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting, trying to feed their children and keep their hopes alive. I want to nominate a man cool on the outside but burning for America on the inside. A man who believes we can build a new American Dream economy driven by innovation and creativity, education and cooperation. A man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama. I want Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of th...
