Around my estate, there is a UBA ATM Machine. It has been there since I moved into this estate 2 years ago. If my guesses are right, most times than not, the 2 ATMs are always OUT OF SERVICE or TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO DISPENSE CASH. This was the norm. It got to a point when I really did not bother checking the machine anymore.

I cannot say this enough. No matter how much you pay for coaching, your coach is not responsible for the actions you must take to get your outcomes.

A little more than 2 years ago, someone influential told me that I should do everything to get a second passport because knowing what he knows (he’s an insider), ‘these people' don’t care about Nigeria. When the chips are down, they will move. In fact, he said he had been so slow about his own residency but his contemporaries told him to guard it well for ‘incasity’ as we normally call it.
Every organization that I have trained for have asked me to come again. I think I have around 90% repeat rate, unless they did not repeat a programme where I was a trainer or speaker.
