“If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion, or political leaning to the point that truth and justice become secondary considerations, your education is useless. Your exposure is useless if you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to...

Championing The SDGs: Africa’s Emerging Markets’​ COVID-19 Recession Cure

by Fisayo Olajide | Apr 24, 2020 | Africa, Economics, SDGS, Strategy

An emerging market is a country where politics matters at least as much as economics to the market. — Ian Bremmer It is about a month since my last article. Reason: I had to pause to make sense of the new normal imposed on my world as I know it. The compulsory...

As summer began, and the restrictions and curfew were eased, Robin, Ahmed, Jorge, and his girlfriend Gill, and I planned a picnic to have a picnic at the beach. And, after we laid our picnic mat, ate bitterballen (Dutch meatball snack), Krockets, and broodjes (Dutch Sandwiches), and we all sipped on our cold beers.Robin let the alcohol get to him, as he steered the conversation into the no-go area of religion in a public gathering. The below conversation ensued. It’s important to add that where memory fails to reproduce the exact words or thoughts, shared in the conversation, creativity augments my memory – the effects of those blond beersfisayoolajide.eu/blog/the-sand-sea-and-sunset-chat-pt-i/ ...

Dear Posterity, in my post 7 days from this post, Dear Posterity, in my post 7 days from this post, a dear reader pointed out to me that I erred in the last sentence of the graphics, where I used two possessive pronouns in that sentence when I intended to use one plural pronoun and one plural possessive pronoun – ‘your’ and ‘our’ should have been ‘you’ and ‘our’. While I had the choice to update the graphics, I decided it is #perfect the way it is. Wouldn’t you agree that one who can figure out an error, understands the intention behind the error? For me, if you boil down Dale Carnegie’s 5 precepts of #influence, isn’t it to accommodate the human flaw? And, since I’m a beloved #human, like you, I #trust your #love for me will accommodate my error. #Posterity, your #humanity is perfect the same way mine is. So, it’s alright to err. And, when you #learn about your errors, it is your choice to #update your errors or not. It may take you years, months, weeks, or days to realize and correct some of your errors. But #imagine if you can correct each error at the moment, wouldn’t that be the peak of learning? Some armchair professors might say it’s hard to do the above, but hard is only a matter of perception from my present #awareness, but if you don’t have or share the perception of such armchair professors, Posterity, then it’s your duty to do it. Otherwise, you won’t update the definition of hard, for yourselves or your posterity – Yet, it is your #duty of #choice. A case in point is the ongoing expansion of the universe, and time, where both entities are as perfect as you, reading this now. There’s more, that can be said, so I’ll abruptly end this #MondayMotivation, and say dear Posterity if you can learn and right your errors in real-time, then, Just Do it, like @nike of my present time. P.S, A Perfect and Beloved Human, #Fisayo : : : #Joy #Love #Light
Dear posterity, I write this to you at the cusp o Dear posterity, I write this to you at the cusp of the Golden Age of the AD era. To grasp the essence of the meaning of a golden age, you first will need to take my thought to its source, which is from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, and then the Iron Age, then the Golden Age. Like me, you don’t need to be a collector of encyclopedias to glean the meaning of ages, Jimmy Wales the Gutenberg of my era, created Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia to help you learn whatever piques your interest – go learn. If you do go learn, and then begin to study the AD era, you will find that we and our predecessors, did have an arduous climb to this golden age; it wasn’t pretty. Just like you, before you walked you crawled and soiled your every outfit. Then you grew up, to be a teen, and probably experienced teenage angst, if you’re lucky, in your time, your generation might have solved what we call in my time, mid-life crisis, and you probably might have also solved the forgetfulness plights that comes with aging. So did we too, from the AD era, crawled from our present implemented political and economic systems and #technology discoveries. Yes, it wasn’t pretty, the Dark Ages was our teenage angst, the Renaissance era was our blossoming young adulthood, and the wars in the 20th and 21st Century was us experiencing our midlife crisis. We survived our midlife crisis, stronger and wiser, and our technology advancement ushered us into a virtual reality of unlimited means to satiate our wants – consumerism – yet, at the beginning of the Golden Age of the AD era we said it was enough, and enacted the #SDGs to bring reason to our wantonness and greed – still a work in progress as I pen this. The essence of this #MondayMotivation, dear posterity, is that while we – your predecessors – have made the sky your launchpad, we hope your make planet Mars the next launchpad for our species. P.S A Beloved Human, Fisayo : : : #joy #hope #adastra
While necessity and sheer curiosity has made me wo While necessity and sheer curiosity has made me work and walk closely with several men who dab the preacher’s robe and claim to spew truth from pulpits, I've met very few whose lives and actions match their chosen profession. Peter Glory Oluwatayo is one of those few who prays for the weak and not prey on the weak, who gives his time and wisdom without the need to receive back in cash or kind. Since the long life and prosperity is a passe birthday wish, please, join me to wish the last of a dying breed, a Divine and Joyous birthday 🎉! Oh least! I forget today happens to be his wedding anniversary also, so I guess you'll help me to wish him an overabundance wedding anniversary too. Thank you. 😊 🎉🎉🎉
Dear armchair professors and rightist philologists Dear armchair professors and rightist philologists, isn't it high time we update the anecdote, “The sky is the limit”? After all, some history 📜 has it that our predecessors cooperated and understood each other that they built the tower of Babel and disagreements dispersed them to cooperate further to explore more ingenuity. Yet, from the Renaissance till the 20th century our species discovered that we needn't even build a tower to touch the skies, that the sky itself is a platform. And, this dude, @richardbranson launched 🚀 space tourism by using the sky as a launchpad, making the farthest extremities of our universe our present limit. Is it possible that when we motivate the next generation to reach their peaks, we say, “In our time the sky used to be our limit, but for you, the sky is your launchpad”? : : : #wednesdaywisdom #wisdomwednesday #fisayoolajide #space #stars #lightyearsaway #light #joy #spacetourism #likeavirgin
If you want a rainbow, you have to deal with the r If you want a rainbow, you have to deal with the rain. - Augustus - At the beginning of July, my wish to you was that by the beginning of August, you'd be able to say with 101% certainty, "Veni, Vidi, Vici!" But Russell Simon said, "If you give a good thing to the world, then over time, your karma will be good, and you’ll receive well.” So, I'll take a brief highlight account of my July, to see if Russell is right, or his words are simply feel-good quotes. Firstly, I start my August with a project that has the entire molecules of my being in a rhapsody. Second, I got a first-row seat to listen and learn from experts as they discussed the challenges facing refugees, and how policies can be developed to meet their needs. Lastly, I had the most heartwarming graduation ceremony, not just that I attended the ceremony in good health, but because the two loved ones I invited were present, and gifted me with bouquets and gifts that got me love swoon and feeling like the Cum Laude - only to find out at the end of the ceremony that these loved ones were not allowed to be present. Coby, if you ever come across this, Heel Bedankt for arriving 15 minutes before me at the venue. Magrethe, the English language is poor for me to express my gratitude to you, for driving over an hour to be there to celebrate this milestone with me and making it the first time we meet in person. So I'll resort to my mother tongue and say, "Magrethe E se gidi gan!" And, to my FWOC-NL family - merci beaucoup. You guys don't just rock, but you are the rock 👌🏽because my congratulatory card to me is the MVP gift-persona-fit of the year and I plan to frame 🔲 it in 24 karats gold frame - goldsmith wanted. From the above accounts, with 211% certainty, I roar the loudest, "VENI, VIDI, VICI!" Thus, Russell Simmons' quote scores an A+ in true words. _ So my wish for you this August is that for all your desired rainbows in August, you not only deal with the rains required for them, but that your heart gives you the levity to dance in these rains. Have a dance-filled and rainbow-filled August! : : : #happyaugust #mondaymotivation #fisayoolajide #joy #love #peace #amsterdam #mba #life
“A Nation should not be judged by how it treats “A Nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones” ― Nelson Mandela ~ The death of Jovenel Moise amplifies the political and economic pain of the Haitian people, which leaves them at a crossroads either to solve it the Haitian way or get help from the global community. Haiti’s ongoing delirium is unique to all non-G8 nations, where the elites of these nations institute extractive economic and political institutions, who aggregate resources and power to themselves, which limits economic growth and stands in the way of the nation's or society's prosperity. The G8 nations institute inclusive economic and political institutions, where the elites create more pluralistic institutions that foster a more equitable distribution of a nation's or society's resources. Yes, according to global standards, Haiti is a poor and small country, who relies on imports and remittances, from Haitians abroad. And, that’s the reason why you and all non-Haitians should care about the ongoing turmoil in Haiti. Because, if most of the population relies on remittance from Haitians abroad, it means Haitians abroad will do anything – including trade their human dignity, so they can send remittance back home. COVID shows that the global polity is now a single organism like the human body, and if like the human body, Haiti, is our pinky, then our pinky is injured to the point of amputation, and a financial tourniquet won’t save it. Just as the human body shows that if an injured part is not treated on time, late treatment of that part will spread the pain to the rest of the body – the way Africans and Syrians risk death to get into Europe and the US to obtain refugee status –the European Commission knows the strain of this on the well-being of Europeans. Finally, my plea is that @unitednations @nato, @usaid and @europeancommission attend to the ongoing bleeding of our pinky, Haiti, so the pain doesn’t spread to the rest of our entire global polity, because as long as the well being of part of the human species is threatened, the well being of the entire human specie will be threatened. ~ : #wisdomWednesday, #PeaceInHaiti #fisayoolajide
"kill me, that's talent God wasted." - Drake ~ I "kill me, that's talent God wasted." - Drake ~ I'm not given to laud the passing of renowned individuals; the media does that effectively. However, it's a rarity to know a renowned individual whose life was in sync with his words. Though I know little about him, yet to know he walked the tight rope where few journalists dared to, due to the high risk involved to be an investigative journalist, who publishes the infamy of leaders that are charged to uphold the social contract of the people. It's said that Peter R. de Vries had a tattoo on his calf that reads, "I'd rather die standing than live kneeling." And, as recent history has it, he was shot in broad day light, at the City Centre. Pfff, if he doesn't inspire you to live your words, I wonder who will. While Peter's tree seems like it has fallen, I will tear a leaf or two and pluck some of his fruits, from his tree, as a reminder of the courage required to march to the beat of one's #heart. ~ For this #MondayMotivation, I hope for the dream or promise land branded in your heart, that keeps your blood pumping, you understand it will require you standing to live that #dream than kneeling to live that dream. : : : #legenda #liveforever #life #amsterdam #paris #berlin #lagos #london #cassablanca #tokyo #picoftheday #joy #bali #madrid
“Before that time the wise men had called themse “Before that time the wise men had called themselves sages, which was interpreted to mean those who know. Pythagoras was more modest. He coined the word ‘philosopher’, which he defined as one who is attempting to find out.” ~ May your hunger to find out, reach higher, and see clearly be satiated beyond your expectation. - Fisayo Olajide ~ : : : #SundayInspiration #fisayoolajide #sunday #joy #amsterdam #london #berlin #paris #singapore #delhi #beijing #smile #smile #picoftheday
Recognize that ultimate success comes from opportu Recognize that ultimate success comes from opportunistic, bold moves which, by definition, cannot be planned. - Bryan Burrough, Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco ~ Some say smoking causes cancer. Others say bad energy is the root cause of cancer. Another school says highly intuitive are the crabs of the Zodiac Cancer. Is it true? We know the tax benefits of cigarettes. We know the profits from chemotherapy. And, the intuition from clairvoyance remains a claim. Is it true? Yes, negative energy exists; the proof is in a battery’s negative & positive. No, I don't say smoking cigarettes isn't good; it has its merits and demerits. Yes, your horoscope gives you 12 signs, the Prince of Peace took 12 disciples, and the Knights of the round table are 12. Eureka! Get it? No! Am I not responsible for for what I say, and are you not responsible for what you understand? - Fisayo Olajide, Ode To Surrealism ~ : Art work : The treachery of images, Renè Magritte Source: @wikipedia : #wisdomwednesday #Surrealism #art #fisayoolajide #love #wednesday #joy #picoftheday #amsterdam #newyork #paris #brussels #singapore #bali
