Success isn’t a takeoff. It’s a staircase.
Every step matters — no matter how small it feels.

• Don’t wait for inspiration — start without it. Discipline builds momentum.
• Act even when you're afraid — courage is built through movement, not motivation.
• Set bold goals, but fall in love with showing up daily. Growth lives in consistency.
• Eliminate distractions — your energy is too valuable to waste.

Every result is earned through repetition, patience, and grit.
Success isn’t luck. It’s built, brick by brick, habit by habit.
Keep climbing. Even slow steps move you higher.

🗣 If the conversations in your circle don’t include topics like real estate, business ownership, passive income, innovation, generational wealth, aligning success with purpose, and honoring God while building it all — it’s time to reassess your environment. Surround yourself with people who inspire growth, vision, and values. The table you sit at shapes the future you build.

* Shine tomorrow with today! *

Every new day is an opportunity to change your life for the better. Start with small steps: write down your goals, practice gratitude, and surround yourself with positivity. Remember that today you are laying the foundation for tomorrow’s successes. Don’t be afraid to dream and act! Your inner glow is what will make tomorrow brighter.

Agada....

This was the extent my ancestors got to building their own bed called "Elu akwa" when complete with the grass filled mattress. I don't know the history of its creation so I can't venture there.

This piece of artistry is already extinct even in the most rural of Igboland.

This wooden structure itself is called Agada in my Mbaise dialect, and few other Igbo speaking areas I know.

When the Igbo say that "Iko anaghị eku nwa, ihe o ketere bu aziiza elu ákwà", meaning that "a concubinus doesn't make paternity claims rather his only gain from the relationship is the heat of sexual intercourse." This is the"elu ákwà we talk about.

But seeing this photograph which I got from the walls of my brother Kelechi Sam Nwagbaraocha brought up something else.

We have a saying that "Agada gbachiri ụzọ" this basically means the Agada that blocked the door.

Those days, the doors of the thatched roofed houses our ancestors built were tiny, and it was always a rigourous spectacle either taking the bed inside the room or bringing it out.

And this process was always a real battle as it often gets stuck on the door blocking entrance and exit.

It is from this obstruction that the phrase "Agada gbachiri ụzọ" came from.

I know over the years some have used that term in religious contexts to refer to higher beings or even God as "the one who blocks the way".

Some have also used it to refer to someone who tries to obstruct the success of others. Or someone who actively tries to undermine or sabotage the success of others, often after they have achieved something themselves.

However, I have always wanted to know the context in which Chief Ozumba Mbadiwe took the title of Agada Gbachiri Ụzọ. Was it about his role in the NCNC or NPN?

First, Mbadiwe didn't have the key to the River Niger like The Great Zik, and he also didn't have the power to trick the Mamiwata into a bottle and locking her up, after which he crushed her to make the popular powder 'Saturday Night'. If you don't know about these stories then I am your real elder.

So who knows why Ozumba Mbadiwe was "Agada Gbachiri Ụzọ"?

```If you truly desire to succeed in life, you must abandon the habit of waiting. Stop hesitating for the ideal moment or for perfect conditions to align. Instead, the path to achievement demands you go all in. This means committing yourself entirely, taking decisive action with every ounce of effort and dedication you possess. Don't hold back or dip your toes in; fully immerse yourself. Plunge wholeheartedly into your aspirations, pursuing your goals with unwavering resolve. Success isn't found in passive anticipation, but in bold, complete engagement. It requires you to fully invest yourself.```

Olusegun Mimiko gave poor kids in Ondo free uniforms, free buses, and free meals—then put them in world-class “Mega Schools” with ICT labs, libraries, and AC classrooms.

He even set up Nigeria’s first medical university.

Public education had dignity under Mimiko.

After Mimiko left office, the mega schools began to rot.

The free buses stopped.
Uniforms vanished.
Standards collapsed.
Some mega schools now look like abandoned warehouses.

Successors gave them neglect.

This is why Nigeria stays poor.

We kill every good thing.
