WHO ARE THE DAVIDS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GIANTS— correcting the wrong thinking pattern of IRRESPONSIBILITY—? (2)

1. DAVID HAD THE RIGHT THINKING PATTERN

Thinking pattern is the series of thought a man has about himself and environment which influences his behavior, actions, habits, and response to situations. King Solomon, one of the wisest men that lived chronicled that, “AS A MAN THINKS, SO HE IS… (PROV. 23:7). This explains that a man’s life is a function of his thought. You would notice that David saw the same GIANT the others saw but he responded differently which makes a conclusion that ITS NOT WHAT YOU SEE BUT HOW YOU SEE IT THAT COUNTS. David strong words in reply to Goliath’s threats are traceable to his right thinking pattern—which can turn problem to opportunities. 

Most people see PROBLEMS but others see OPPORTUNITIES. Ebola virus struck Africa and most of us saw it as a great Problem—that incited complaining and murmuring— but few individuals, mostly scientists, saw it as opportunity to provide solution to the problem, therefore, making the world a better place. For so many years, a particular Medical Problem existed— twins joined at the head region— but this problem created an opportunity for Ben Carson to provide solution which had made him a Global figure. Everybody complained about the problem of darkness but Thomas Edison used the problem as an opportunity to provide a solution we see today as electric light.  Everybody is complaining bitterly about the problems of our country—especially the problem of the education sector— that has limited our progress but complaining has not solved the problem and would not solve it. Being quite and pretending not to see the problem won’t also solve the problem. Who are the Davids who would rise up with right thinking pattern to FACE, FIGHT AND FIZZLE OUT THE GIANTS. The right thinking pattern is the first step— and not the only step— on our journey to bring down the Giants and bring home the victory. If you haven't read Part one of this article, I will advise you do so as to get a better understanding, WHO ARE THE DAVIDS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GIANTS— correcting the wrong thinking pattern of IRRESPONSIBILITY—?

  INTRODUCTION

It’s no news that the education system in Nigeria is in a state of jeopardy. We claim to be using the western system of education but the average Nigerian student cannot compete effectively and efficiently with an average American student. The rate of examination malpractice is so high that even a student who has “all A’s” in his WASC or NECO cannot be trusted because the schools—both the public and private— give answers to their students in the examination hall and this has led to a colossal collapse of every sector of the country’s economy since we cannot produce qualified students into the labor market.

BEYOND WHAT IT SEEMS

INTRODUCTION

Yesterday, which happened to be the eve of Christmas, I had the opportunity to go round town to ‘fulfill all righteousness’. As I passed through the major markets, I almost was convinced that most people were chased out of their house since the crowd I saw was enormous. The ATM stand of all ‘major’ banks were clad with a long queue of people. Everybody was on the move as they PREPARED for CHRISTMAS.

POJOMATICS NEW MONTH MESSSAGE: THINK BIG AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Wow! Can you imagine? We are in a new month. I remember, as if it were yesterday, when I said Happy New Year to my Friends, Family and Fans and just like a twinkle of an eye, the year has paced faster than Usain Bolt. God has being faithful, even though we are not where we have envisioned to be, we are not where we used to be. He has kept us through January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and now we are in the month of November. I want you to remember that some people started this year with you but they are not alive to see this day. THERE ARE ENOUGH REASONS FOR YOU TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD. I advice you take out time today, and in the remaining days of the year,  to give God quality worship for thus far He has brought you.

THE MARKET OF LIFE (2): INCREASE YOUR S.O.U.R

“Increase your S.O.U.R

So that you can SOAR

If you neglect taking action now

Things will go SOUR”    — POJOMATICS WEBS

 Earlier last week, I was at work when I got an Urgent call from my Mum to help her go to the market, precisely Igbudu market, to get her some items. It was already 04:45pm and if you live in Warri, you should know what that means and if you don’t know what that means, I will help you:  Igbudu market is one of the most popular markets in the oil city where you can find almost any item that comes to mind and it closes officially at around 05:30pm.

TURNING ON THE LIGHT NINE YEARS LATER: CELEBRATING GOD’S GENERAL

            THE DARKEST DAY OF MY LIFE

 

OCTOBER 22^nd has always been the darkest day of my life. It carried an event I never thought of having, it stole one of the strongest currencies I ever had in life, a currency I needed planned to lose so soon in my life. It punctured the balloon of joy which was in an excited state and dragged it to a ground state.

REMAINING RELEVANT IN CHANGING TIMES SERIES—RERICTS1

“The world doesn’t remember your past excellence, they are simply interested in your current relevance”—POJOMATICS

I can only imagine how my Beloved Father, Mr. Jeremiah E. Okotie, felt on the 02^nd of June 2004 when he entered a shop in Lagos to buy a pair of NOKIA 1100. I guess he was so excited as the product he asked for was brought to him. I could feel the joy he felt after paying #23,800 for two ‘powerful’ phones. 

Few days later, my Dad stormed Warri and journeyed to his residential address at 13 Okandeji Street, Somewhere in Warri-South Local Government Area. My Mum, DMSEJO, and I were so excited to see my Dad after months of not seeing him due to his job in Lagos. Just before the smiles that came due to his arrival faded off our faces, Dad gave us a shocking surprise, he brought out two small cartoons that I have never seen before and as I tried to look at the cartoon, I saw the words, NOKIA 1100, and a hand of a man reaching to hold that of a little Child.  Dad held one of the Cartoons and passed the other to his wife and that was the fuel that ignited Mum’s happiness. She was so excited like a blind man who received his sight. Why on earth will she be excited? I guess it was worth being excited, to be the first woman to owe such an expensive phone in the area.

Yesterday, as I displayed the photo of Nokia 1100 on my various social media platforms, most of my friends remembered ‘the good old days’ of Space Impact. Anyways, twelve years down the line, Nokia 1100 doesn’t interests anybody. I guess if you are offered the phone now, you would be tempted to slap the person. Why? Because the phone has lost its relevance.

Dear reader, take a critical look at your humble self. Are you a business man or a student? Are you currently at the top of your field or you are ‘just there’. What does the future hold for you? Five years from now, are you going to be relevant in your field or you would be dumped in a bin where ‘good old days memory are kept’? Would you be replace by a more productive and creative individual or will you be replaced by a Robot?

REMAINING RELEVANT IN CHANGING TIMES IS A DELIBERATE ACT OF A MAN TO DEVELOP HIMSELF TO BE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE NEEDS OF THE EVER CHANGING WORLD. The reason NOKIA 1100 is no longer relevant is simple: It failed to meet up the demands of the present world. That simply means if you fail to meet up with the demands of the ever changing world, you will be left behind in history.

Therefore, as Youths, we must LEARN THE ACTS OF REMAINING RELEVANT IN THE MIDST OF THE CHANGES THE WORLD UNDERGOES.

I wish you a fruitful weekend and do well to drop your comments on this article.

THE MARKET OF LIFE(1)

INTRODUCTION

Earlier this week, precisely on Monday, My Mother, DMSEJO, sent me, POJOMATICS, on an errand to the MARKET. Just before I left, SHE GAVE me a LIST OF ITEMS TO PURCHASE and RESOURCES with which to purchase the items.

CORRUPTION SERIES 1: CORRUPTION IS A NIGERIAN?

        For a while, an article has being boiling in me but I have refused to let it see the light of day because of it's funny title, CORRUPTION IS A NIGERIAN. How funny and embarrassing to a country that has the potential to be the greatest country in the world. Like doubting Thomas, I refused to believe this above title but an incidence happened recently that forced my thread into the tiny hole of this 'neddled-fact'.

POJOMATICS PENCILS: POJOMATICS NEW MONTH MESSAGE

INTRODUCTION

If you are reading this article, it means you are alive to see Nigeria celebrate her 56^th anniversary. If you are still breathing presently, it shows that there is hope for you to achieve all you have planned for this year. Despite the country’s current journey towards recession, there are a thousand and one reasons for you to be grateful to God who has made it possible to be alive and who has buried the solution Nigeria needs in you.

POJOMATICS PENCILS: BUILDING A BETTER NATION WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON YOU.

CURRENT POSITION IN CONNECTION WITH PAST DECISIONS

       As Nigeria celebrates this year’s anniversary, there exist mixed feelings among her citizens: Some are excited about this historic event, at least we all are alive despite the problems and we are hoping for a better nation some day. Another school of thought is furiously angry with the country. “What’s really there to be happy about” they ask. The prices of things have skyrocketed, the naira is experiencing a free fall almost every day, Boko Haram is fast becoming a world recognized terrorist group, Niger Delta Avengers are destroying some of the nation’s assets, Federal Government is on the cross road on whether to sell some national assets or find an alternative.

ENOUGH OF THE BLAME GAME: LET’S FIND A SOLUTION

       Today I really want to discuss on something very important. Something I guess is unlike me. I am really not a fan of Politicians but this man made series of statement that drilled me to the point that I wished I had a private jet that will take me to Abuja, just to give him a handshake, and bring me back. You want to know what he said? Who is he that said?  Read on,you will see it.

PREPARATION TOWARDS OCTOBER 1th: BRINGING OUT GOOD OUT OF OUR NAZARETH

Good morning my beloved Readers. I am not tired of expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who keep reading my articles. I thank those who keep their comments coming in and those who just read and comment in their mind. I must commend Mr. Seth Akinbulumo, the CEO of Soaak 103 Consult,who keeps pushing me into the ocean of inspiration where I cannot but drink up large amount of inspiration. I celebrate God’s grace in your life Sir.

GETTING PREPARED TO BE A SOLUTION

         It’s another beautiful day, precisely the second day, in the month of September which I see as THE MONTH OF SOLUTION DELIVERY.

DUST YOURSELF AND MOVE ON

The month of August has certainly being a great month and if you will agree with me, it happened to be the greatest month of this year? How many people agree with me? For me, it has being an awesome month especially in my writing career. It was the month I received a lot of comments that keeps me going as I strive to change the thinking pattern of Nigerian Youths to enhance national transformation.

CELEBRATING THE DREAM SPEECH

The famous I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH was delivered on the 28^th of August 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C and that was exactly fifty-three (53) years ago. It arose simply because there existed a problem called racism which our father, Martin Luther King Jr(MLKJ), was ready to proffer solution to even at the cost of his life.

MINIMIE CHINCHIN: A ”MASTERCRAFT” OF EXCELLENCE

  My Mum was so happy when I told her I had decided to come spent a week with her. On Monday 20th June 2016, I journeyed to the oil city of Warri and went straight to her shop at 10 Mowoe Road.
