DEAR DAIRY: THE FLYING OKADA MEN, A CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE

 It was a lazy morning, John woke up with a head ache+ a bad dream. It was a torment, the past few days had been hectic, writing exams and doing business. John was over 20, but something peculiar about John was his ability to remember.


Being Saturday morning, John felt he could treat himself to a little bit of brain tease only it was a childhood memory.
When John was a young boy, he had an experience that was mind blowing. In a local African/Nigerian community, people believed in "jaz"( an African term that is used to signify the use of diabolic or occult powers), John did not believe, well, until that day when he saw it happen for real.
The man displaying the show was an Hausa native( one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria), he had the traditional Hausa mark on his face, something that John still did not understand how they passed through the horror of the process involved in getting those marks. He had a weird smile on his face, he simply sat down while his partner did the talking. They were confident in their Jaz powers and did nothing to bring fear or doubt in the hearts of the people that watched them. The only thing that mattered was the thrill and fear that the people got from being in suspense.
In a traditional African community showing off diabolic powers was always a mean to an end of drawing attention. This was the case in this scenario, John was captivated, his memory was not o sure, but he felt he was probably alone that day or occult with his elder sister, he was very young and so being with his sister must have been the case.

DEAR DIARY: THE LOVE AFFAIR

Mr John is the CEO of the John enterprises, a multi billion dollar group that deals in oil and gas, consumer goods production, and agriculture. Johns open door to success had come like a wave of the wind, family wealth and inheritance not withstanding, he had the brain; with knowledge, that turned his father's small consumer goods supply store into a multimillion naira investment in a few years.
With the massive growth in the business and the amount of hard work required, John didn't have time for anything else outside of business, he was strict, dedicated and didn't have time for women. His business continued to grow, and that was when John ventured into the oil and gas sector.

DEAR DAIRY: THE DREAMER

Hello OSCRoyal family, this is another short story publication on John. I hope you enjoy it, leave your comments. Thank you.......

    After a stressful day, John went home, but as usual he wasn't alone, although he had a lot of random girlfriends, this particular girl was special, his favorite. John always knew he had "distanced" himself from God, committing all the sins which, in the bible, God hates. Florence had prepared his favorite meal, but for some reason John had lost appetite, his stomach ached and he had a bad headache. He had sex as usual (on top the head ache o- "pidgin", Nigerians will understand)
John soon fell asleep, during sleep, he began to dream... The dream was a shocker and also a life experience for John.

If you hope to someday become a great entrepreneur, following the leadership secrets below will take you a long way,sunday adelaja's blog

It is hard to go anywhere in the modernized world and not ever running across a Wal-Mart store. The founding of this monterous retail enterprise is non other then Sam Walton himself.

He is well know for his down-home style and personal touch anywhere he goes.

He wrote a book about what he has learned over the years and what made him successful titled Made In America. At the end he listed 10 things he would pass on to others.

Sam Walton’s 10 Leadership Tips

Rule 1: Commit to your business.

Believe in it more than anybody else. I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. I don’t know if you’re born with this kind of passion, or if you can learn it. But I do know you need it. If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you — like a fever.

Rule 2: Share your profits with all your associates, and treat them as partners.

In turn, they will treat you as a partner, and together you will all perform beyond your wildest expectations. Remain a corporation and retain control if you like, but behave as a servant leader in your partnership. Encourage your associates to hold a stake in the company. Offer discounted stock, and grant them stock for their retirement. It’s the single best thing we ever did.

Rule 3: Motivate your partners.

Money and ownership alone aren’t enough. Constantly, day by day, think of new and more interesting ways to motivate and challenge your partners. Set high goals, encourage competition, and then keep score. Make bets with outrageous payoffs. If things get stale, cross-pollinate; have managers switch jobs with one another to stay challenged. Keep everybody guessing as to what your next trick is going to be. Don’t become too predictable.

Rule 4: Communicate everything you possibly can to your partners.

The more they know, the more they’ll understand. The more they understand, the more they’ll care. Once they care, there’s no stopping them. If you don’t trust your associates to know what’s going on, they’ll know you really don’t consider them partners. Information is power, and the gain you get from empowering your associates more than offsets the risk of informing your competitors.

Rule 5: Appreciate everything your associates do for the business.

A paycheck and a stock option will buy one kind of loyalty. But all of us like to be told how much somebody appreciates what we do for them. We like to hear it often, and especially when we have done something we’re really proud of. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They’re absolutely free — and worth a fortune.
