Globalisation signifies a social condition characterized by tight global economic, political, cultural, and environmental interconnections and flows that make most of the currently existing borders and boundaries irrelevant.  The earliest appearance of the term ‘globalization’ in the English language could be traced back to the 1940s, it was not until half a century later that this concept took the public consciousness by storm.  The buzzword ‘globalization’ exploded into the ‘Roaring Nineties’ because it captured the increasingly interdependent nature of social life on our planet. Twenty years later, one can track millions of references to globalization in both virtual and printed space. Unfortunately, however, early bestsellers on the subject—for example, Kenichi Ohmae’s The End of the Nation State or Thomas Friedman’s The   Lexus and the Olive Tree —left their readers with the simplistic impression that globalization was an inevitable techno-economic juggernaut spread...

Because a collegial team do exploits: constructs good roads, build bridges, aircrafts, automobiles and work to roll back the spectre of the warming planet, it's worth building a collegial team. A collegial team moved with risk to help the US killed Osama bin Laden, and his disciples.

I am so much grateful to marketing expert, Seth Godin for helping us to come to aware of this term: For who and for what. " For who and what " should at least guide everything we make, the services we render, the cares we give and offers we present. Here is a Swedish phone, Doro that really captures the essence of this thinking. Doro AB, known as Doro, is a Swedish consumer electronics and assistive technology company focused on the elderly and improving the lives of seniors.  Founded in 1974 in Sweden as a challenger to the state-run telecommuncations monopoly, the company develops communications products and services designed primarily for the elderly, such as mobile phones and telecare systems. Looking for an easy-to use mobile phone for yourself or for an elder relative?  The smartphones from Doro feature bigger icons for optical visibility and for elders to see better. All Doro phones are designed with seniors in mind and feature extra loud and c...

Late Harvard business school professor, Clayton Christensen inspired us to go for distruptive innovation (democratze everything): create a new technology, product, or service that eventually disrupts an existing market, displacing established market leaders and fundamentally changing the way businesses and industries operate. Here is a neighbourhood banking in a rural Lagos Nigeria. People walk to get  and send cash: send money, withdraw, pay bills and open accounts.  Disruptive innovations often start by targeting overlooked or low-end market segments with simpler, more affordable solutions before gradually improving and moving upmarket to challenge traditional competitors. In Nigeria and other African countries, Disruptive innovation in the banking industry happens in several ways: 1. Mobile Banking : Africa has seen a significant rise in mobile banking services, bypassing traditional brick-and-mortar banks. Services like M-Pesa in Kenya and other mobile money pl...

In Greek, Gnosis is a kind of knowledge we gain through intellectual activities. That brought to us through our five senses.  In other words, Gnosis is scientific knowledge. Medical practitioners use "diagnosis" to refet to the process for identification of a disease or condition by examining the symptoms and other relevant factors.  This involves a thorough evaluation of a patient's medical history, physical examination, and sometimes, diagnostic tests like blood tests, imaging studies, or biopsies. And it means to explore to know by Gnosis   The goal of diagnosis is to determine the underlying cause of a patient's symptoms or illness. Gnosis or scientific knowledge is great in helping us understanding the world, the cosmos and things within. Gnosis is incredibly valuable, but has its limitations: 1. Incomplete Understanding : Gnosis can provide explanations based on current evidence, but our understanding of many phenomena is still evolving, and there may be gaps i...

Help someone become. Help others get what they want Help people reach their goals and dreams This is your calling. And you can do it.

Lighters sell a lot because they light.  Smokers use them to lighten cigarettes.  Mama uses them in the kitchen to lighten stoves, gas cookers and others.  In the farm, local farmer burn dried grasses with lighters. It's better to make a product that function the way it should, than selling lies to us.  If a plate of food in your restaurant cannot quench a hunger, then don't provide it. If your administration is not changing lives (or making things better), you better resign.  Don't tell us stories. Stop promising us!  Work!

Is truth universalistic?  This fundamental indeed, prompts  critical thinking. The logical positivists believe in verifiability at the process of inquiry. They hate religious truth-claims. The pneumatologists who study in spirit claim, the natural man cannot understand the things of the spirit (like how Jesus was by a virgin), that they're foolishness to his mind. During a presidential campaign in 2015, the former president of Nigeria, Buhari made frontal attack on corruption: "If you don't kill corruption, corruption would kill Nigeria". This statement was vehemently opposed during his administration as the country economy went bananas. Voices of critics were loud saying "Nigerian economy was better in the hey days of corruption". In international interactions, realists claim peaceful negotiation is not necessary with a neighbouring enemy that posses weapons, and readily unleashing unslaughts and assaults.....the liberal democratic peace maker on the other ...

Who thought a restaurant could be branded a university. This is local restaurant at neighbourhood, pipeline axis of Idimu Lagos Nigeria. The university of Amala sells ethnic foods the Yoruba nation value

This may be true: The ozone depletion caused by emissions The use of nuclear and guns to eliminate lives The effect of skin-ligjtenimg creams in damaging skins. The misuse of ballots to put dishonest people in power. What about kidnappers making use of mobile phones to demand money from the relatives of their victims? Sciences are good. But sciences have started destryong us.

Africa has a hot weather. It's  real! If you are living in sub-saharan Africa, you would be aware of this.  With this experience, Coke responded with empathy, as seen in the message in pigin English below!!
