Doing business is about taking risks, just like life itself is risk-taking. It is about running a marathon race.
But far from it. Anyone who has sat down to watch Big Brother Naija will know that beyond the house parties, the jacuzzi groove and the banter, there is a lot of education passed in the show.
It is not difficult to explain the anger of this government against Amnesty International and its phobia for public disclosure
Believers must understand that at the mention of the name Jesus, every power, every situation, every conspiracy, every gang up must bow!
We all know the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing, but it goes way beyond that. There are also physical, emotional and mental needs that determine our total wellbeing.
