           Want to be happy? look for a meme. Want to be sad? look for a meme. There is a meme for every emotion you have, I love memes. You don't do memes? give it a trial, you don't like it? LIAR.   I have a culture, maybe like everyone, of checking the status of my "meme dealers" every morning and before I go to bed, kudos to my dealer y'all are the best. When I am done with this piece, you guessed right what I am going to do before I sink on a foam. But I'll focus on the good memes, thanks to the Arsenal victory this night, boy it was treat.      I have consumed a lot of memes, some are funny, scary, witty and some are nonsensical. But today I am more concerned about the "I don't give a fvck" memes. You see captions like "You ignore me I ignore you", "Whatever you hear about me please believe", LIARS. Like they or we are capable of shutting out our emotions.      My candid advice, don't take this kinda memes to he...

What a year it has been, what a month it has been, what a week it has been, personally what a couple of days it has been for me emotionally, 2020 has given us a lot to think about, and I must tell you, it has been a hell of a ride. The saga was initiated by the pandemic that hit the world, followed closely by a rather eventful and controversial show, “Big Brother Naija (BBN)”, drifting into the historic, once in a blue moon, nationwide protest. Interesting thing about these events is the ripple effect they had on one another. The pandemic, as with most countries, forced the Nigerian government to impose a lockdown on its citizenry, with no economic activities going on, Nigerians were stuck with the internet and media, bearing to the end of the lock down, the BBN show started, schools were not in session, most organizations and workers now loved working from home, so they did. The youths had time to watch BBN lock down, and with their lockdown companion -social media, the show had a wel...

You often learn what you want by seeing what you do not want to see, God knows no one wanted to see us conscripted on dealing with our "unexpected" guest, Covid-19, pandemics kill business, recessions ruin business to say they have a silver lining is a step too far. But this unwanted circumstance has afforded businesses, government and consumers time to think about who they are and what they really want and desire from their distinct standpoints, the interesting thing is the interrelatedness and interdependency of these thoughts. Governments have had the inefficiencies of their governance and policies laid bare for all to see, consumers are contemplating if they really need to continue patronizing physical outlets after the pandemic or just stick to the pandemic-made-compulsory online shipping for even the least of their basic needs and thirdly, businesses, its executives and supremo are taking this time to look inward to re-engineer their purpose and goals going forward, som...

“Curiosity kills a cat, but cats be happy, for satisfaction raises the dead”, several organizations, startups and businesses will and are endlessly, curiously and constantly trying to get innovative ways to mitigate risks and be more cost effective, with competition getting astronomically fiercer by the day, every trick to get that extra edge and advantage in the market must be played. Vendor-managed inventory is a strategy that transfers the management of inventories and order processing from the buyer of a product to the supplier of the product, this strategy is not only cost effective, it is both operation effective and mitigates risks by transference, in simple terms this strategy allows vendors or suppliers to own inventories until they are sold by their clients, the vendors in the supplier chain manages their own products in their clients’ warehouses or stores, for example if a business has ten vendors in its supply chain, each of these ten vendors is hence contractually responsi...

Error and failure are what's left when we think everything else has been accounted for. Analyzing a business, an analyst needs to fully understand that there is a fine line between these three business concepts, their differences, relationship and interdependence, they need to be understood else confusing them together can lead to business failure in the short, medium and long run. Business Requirements: A business requirement is not just something a system must do. It is something that the business needs to do or have in order to stay in business, take for example a business needs to increase sales, else, it'll run out of business, this a business requirement. It has to be done if not the business may not function properly or wind up for good . A business requirement is often less dynamic; it doesn't change often. Functionality Requirements: A functional requirement describes how we perform our business processes (or their functionality), how a business intends to achieve ...

The eleventh hour of May, 2018, was pegged by the passage of the “not too young to run” bill by our president as his democracy day present for us youths, or his way of appealing to the then furious god of “lazy Nigeria youths”, youths makeup half, if not more of, the country’s population and with the election just few months away then, it was imperative he gets us on his side to triumph. But this bill was a flatter to deceive bill because two years after it was passed it has not bore and may never bear its intended fruits, if the “Too Old to Run” bill is not passed alongside. The passed bill was purported to give youths the chance to run for posts and ultimately rule in the country, I think the reverse of the passed bill is the way to achieve such, which is the “Too Old to Run” bill, this bill attacks the original problem which is taking our country from grasp of grandpas and grannies who are supposed to be retired. Nigeria’s ship has been captained by fifteen rulers since independence...

Winter is coming believe it or not, technology rides with its army of generals -robotics, auditory analytics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR)-- and infantries in an unstoppable march and they are coming for us all. Since its inception, technology was created to be used to do things, but now it intends to do things itself thanks to Artificial Intelligent (AI). Technology will soon dominate almost every domain and industry, all in the name of better productivity and making life better, exciting times ahead when you imagine of the mind blowing things the tech industry can achieve with technology (what a time to be an innovative business owner) in the same vein worrisome times ahead when you imagine how these improvements will lead to it replacing human being, that it was meant to make their lives better. In Nigeria, over the last 40 years there has been two shifts in employment outlook with each shift spanning circa 20 years, the first shift happened at the time of our father...
