BROCKEN BRICKS

There is a time when the builders start searching for broken bricks so that they can fill a gap to make their work complete.

At this point, they cant/wont do anything without you, their project will not look better if you are not included. Whether you agree… Continue

What a privilege!

As a new week has began, i gladly reflect on a zoom meeting that i was part of last week, 'The revenue-generating brand building kickass marketing strategy session'.

In entrepreneurship, there's challenges but at the end of the day, they have to be resolved and i'm thankful that we were given room to ask questions which were replied to. I've learned that it doesn't matter how small a business is, marketing is the way to go and how one relates and communicates with customers is very… Continue

Will our children live better lives than us?

Will our children live better lives than us?

I don't think so. Unemployment rate is very high and people have babies out of wedlock.

. There's no way we will have better lives. Alot of people are at the age of 35 but have no proper employment and have alot of kids.

Alot of couples are unemployed struggliwng to raise their kids.

Atleast us our parents were nurses, teachers etc and most married had houses.

Our children will be raised in Flats. No garden… Continue
