Business mogul, Aliko Dangote, on Thursday said his achievements as Africa’s richest man and 25th richest person on earth was due to the favourable policies of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

I must apologise. My tomorrow became three days after tomorrow – I can only say I had writer’s overload…when there is so much to say that you need to actually figure out how you are going to put it without overwhelming and boring your readers. Please bear with me. This is going to take longer than usual but this matter could mean life and death for you, me, our children and our very future. So I will build up to what we must do. You will forgive me as I split this up into Parts 3a, 3b and maybe even 3c (for publishing later this week). I hope you agree with me that this is too too important.

Knowing when and how to distinguish between the 3 identical C’s will help you see things from a different perspective and gear you towards the positive direction, using all 3 C’s as tools of motivation!

Dear Fall leaves from my Oaks, Maples, and willows,

  I love your glorious colors and textures in my yard.

When the sun reappears I promise to create huge piles of your collective beauty….

and then invite the entire neighborhood to your party  

  We’ll embrace the wonder of you with giggles as we inhale Mother Nature’s earthiness….

…..all while we wait for your bare branches to silhouette our skies.
