Change makes people rejoice but success creates enemies

In Nigeria especially the state of Benue, it's apparent that politicians lie alot. They promise the citizens heavens on earth but will rarely accomplish their promises. 

On the contrary, one man chooses to change the story and experiences. His name is Rev. Father Hyacint Alia 

For more than three decades the Benue state in Nigeria suffered uncared leadership: non-payment of the civil servant salary, bad roads, zero electricity, poor transportation and healthcare facilities, inspite of billions of money received from federal allocation for development and others.

In the last six months, Rev. Father Hyacinth Alia won the gubernatorial election. The entire Benue citizens were agog. Between May 2023 and this date, the Governor has surprised the citizens with these programs:

1. 100 18 seaters buses to convey people to their various destinations

2. 16 roads reconstructed into local communities

3. 20 streets rehabilitated in the state capital

4. Installation of MRI machines and other great medical facilities in the Benue state teaching Hospital

5. Rehabilitation of the state Congress Assembly building

6. Purchase of 200 tractors for farmers 

7. Distribution of fertilizers to farmers

8. Installation of solar street lights etc.

Governor is named MR 25TH because he pays monthly salary on the 25th. Others named as MR. TALK-AND-DO*

However, some of his politicians who believe in politics of sharing state funds and who had benefitted from corrupt leadership in the past have been criticizing the governor vehemently as unfit to govern the state.

Because success creates enemy, jealousy or competition....hatred is also a part.

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...

New ways to business capital

A Business capital, often referred to as capital in a business context, is the financial resources or assets that a company or a sole proprietorship uses to operate, invest, and grow.

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems). The market is now...
