  Muhammad Auwal Ahnad (AKA Mohiddeen) First of all, what does it take to be a CEO? My simple answer will be like this: the courage to manage a business —no matter what it does or how it looks. One should have the ability to solve problems, make decisions, and persist in the face of challenges. One modern thinker says a CEO should have self-motivation and self-discipline. He should be able to motivate himself and the people around him. He should also have the confidence to confront problems, solve them, and delegate tasks. As for me, my daily routine is as follows: As a struggling youngster who want to survive, and as Ayra Starr lyricized the saying, "You must hustle if you wan chop," so I have to wake up early in the morning, say my morning prayers, do some personal activities, and then begin to complete the tasks on my desk. First of all, every morning, I use to check all my emails to see if there are any important messages that need my attention. I then open my browser, lo...

  Contrary to Steve Jobs' saying, today, you can connect the dots looking forward —not backward. This is just to say that taking big promises or making hard decisions could be very scary looking backwards unlike looking forward when it is expected to be the best move one could ever make. Looking back at our ancestors' aphorisms, it is believed that the only way to wipe out your hindrances from your sight is to take a one-step move ahead by defeating them, leaving no traces behind so as to avoid being erupted by a volcano. Now, this day will be a historic day worthy enough to be remembered in the future, only if alike issues knock on the door or clear clarification is needed. We didn't do it just by believing the popular saying, "actions speak louder than voice", we did it after logical analysis was taken to avoid making a move based on incoherence. Thanks and be safe! —Mohiddeen

Plato’s “Apology” gave the story of Socrates and explained the role he played in Plato’s life, one of the greatest Greek philosophers. But the writing wasn’t meant to apologize publicly to the people of Athens, his hometown where the root of wisdom and Greek philosophy begot, rather, it was based on the description of certain events that have occurred in his life and his teacher, Socrates. But unlike Plato’s, Mohiddeen’s Apology is meant to apologize to the all and sundry for all that had happened. Therefore, I, Mohiddeen, publicly apologize to everyone whom I have hurt, insulted (if any), or criticized by words or actions with or without my knowledge. Moreover, I have forgiven you all for wronging me –as we live together, we must have wronged ourselves in one way or the other. As Williams Durrant quote says, “Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re doing and do it.” So, we should always forgive and forget. Well, I am the kind of person who believes...

                                                                   Nigeria as the most populous country in the entire continent is yet to innovate and implement its security system in which hypocritical communications will be hindered whereas intrusions, fraud and terrorism will be thwarted. Today, all developed countries have approached this unavoidable development. In these counties, a fraudster or an intruder would be detected in a short period of time using their modern detection machines with artificial intelligence capability. A recent project proposed by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy shows how mobile phone numbers and Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) will be linked with citizens’ national identity cards to thwart all those hypocritical communications ov...
