Mr. Wazobia got home late one Friday night tired and hungry. He was met by his wife with a warm embrace. He quickly settled down, took a shower and his seat at the dinning. His wife joined him at the table and started chatting away about what food she will prepare for Saturday night dinner.
Wazobia managed to keep pace with his wife thinking food was on fire and almost ready. After an hour of gist, he asked his wife about dinner. She responded that she would set a committee up comprising the 3 children to decide what to eat so that they can go ahead to buy the food stuff and commence cooking preparation to cook it. Haba!
If Mrs Wazobia is your wife what will your reaction be?. Disgusted? Awed? Sad or bitter?Well permit me to liken “Gudluk Jona” to Mrs Wazobia. He has as abandoned pressing issues of poor infrastructure, electricity and energy crisis for a problem or solution that may not be required until 2015.
Who told him we are complaining about duration of tenure? I would rather prefer a life president who provides all basic amenities than a single-tenured president without tangible achievement. Those who voted him to power most likely wanted him to face the pressing issues on ground. I make bold to say that it does not matter how long tenure is but how well it was spent.
Something tells me that tenure extension is a gimmick to get “Naija” citizens to shift attention from Boko Haram issues and poor infrastructure.
What a mighty mindset he has.

EARLY GOAL!
EARLY GOAL!
“According to statistical research conducted on the National Football League (NFL), what percentage of teams who score first win the game? My guess was 50%. We’ve all read about quarterbacks who have led their teams from behind to win the game. We’ve heard sportscasters discuss how many points are scored in the last two minutes of the half or at the end of the game.
So, I thought about 50% was accurate. Wrong! The statistics claim that 75% of the time a team scores first, they win the game! (No, of course I can’t verify this. I heard it while driving to Zig’s office one morning. But, the guys at ESPN Radio wouldn’t lie to me…) I’m thinking, if teams score early in the game, like say in the first quarter, then they are more likely to achieve their objectives”. zig ziglar newsletter
One way to fast track your progress this season is to score an early goal. Achieve some results in the first quarter. Set some “easy” goals that assist you in accomplishing your long term goals and achieve them. Success breeds success. Nothing succeeds like success. It is important in 2009 that you set the momentum to drive success in the major areas of your life. I am sure you have set goals for the year but I insist that you accomplish something meaningful or significant to you in the first quarter.
This will keep you motivated to pursue other lined up endeavors. For instance, you may have an academic goal i.e. a desire to commence a postgraduate programe this year. Get down to action. Visit or call the school directly. Talk to the head of department and make concrete findings. Don’t secure information from people who are not stake holders. Ask for a brochure or pick the form if it is available. Buy relevant text books etc. what I am emphasizing is the need to commit yourself to the cause such that retreat will be impossible.

Another step you need to take is to check your BEHAVIOR against your GOALS. What a great way to give yourself a “check-up from the neck up!” Each and every day, check your behavior against the goals you have set. If your behavior is not contributing to your succeeding in reaching your goals, then you need to adjust your behavior. You don’t adjust the goal, you adjust your behavior. If you are spending too long at lunch, then adjust that behavior.
I will like to round up by saying that if you courageously pursue your dreams, the best of your 2008 will be the worst of your 2009!!!
