Five important things a man must learn in life !!!

Top 5 is tricky. I will try to keep them to things that tend to be a particular challenge to men.

Do not accept that girls or women have less aptitude or that men are designed to conquer the world. You may have a daughter one day that could conquer the world. That could be your daughter being minimised and patronised. Wouldn’t you want her to be accepted for her potential rather than according to the baggage of the society we live in?
People are less interested in you than you think. They are just as obsessed about themselves as you are about yourself. So stop thinking they are all thinking about you, your performance, how witty you are, etc. How self-involved are you? Get out of yourself and start taking an interest in others. They will be glad to be noticed, and you will learn (if you bother to listen)
Health is for life, not just for bagging a partner. Get fit for you and how you feel, and for the respect of your own body, and the interest may well just come naturally anyway.
Children are people, not little pieces of clay for you to mould into objects that fulfil all the dreams you didn’t get around to. They are not just like you. They are their own people, and you are there to have the privilege of watching them grow into their potential, with a little nudge here and there to help them overcome their stumbles and self-doubts.
Being strong is also knowing when to be vulnerable and give access to your weak spots. Allowing yourself to be hurt rather than just retreating to the man-cave. This level of trust requires an immense inner strength, and honest introspection. Do not shy away from it. Like muscle fibres being shredded and rebuilt stronger and more robust than before, in that weakness is the seed of your future strength.

And remember: You are not just a man…You are a person, too.

Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserve fell to $25,780,765,483 (25.78 billion) as of August 16, the lowest we have seen since 2005. The drop was down 2.11% from a month ago. The Nations external reserves dropped below $26 billion for the first time on the 5th of August 2016 after it closed at about $25,971,610,949. In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...

Why Entrepreneurs Should Engage Their Spouses in the Business

When her husband first joined a startup, a woman I’ll call Cindy had saved up a comfortable nest egg for her family. Even with several young children, their financial situation was stable enough that their personal risk in the venture seemed minimal. But a year later, when the seed funding dried out and no substantial revenue was forthcoming, things went downhill for them. Her husband stopped receiving a salary, yet continued working and traveling extensively for the company. Cindy had to care for their children, including two toddlers and two autistic preteens, mostly on her own. She begged her husband to find another job, but he didn’t want to leave a business that he had already invested so much in. She offered to go back to work and have him watch the kids; he refused. Within two years, their financial reserves and their children’s college funds had disappeared entirely. Their home was eventually foreclosed on, and the family had to move in with a relative. Onl...
