The popular saying that behind every successful man, there is a woman is not a lie, because most of the great success stories of men include their leading ladies. From Pablo Picasso to Franz Kafka and many others.
Every man has his muse.
Picasso had Marie-Thérèse Walter and Kafka had Dora Dymant.
Gibran Khalil Gibran had Miss Mary Haskell.
Salvador Dali had Gala.
William Shakespeare had Anne Hathaway
Count Leo Tolstoy had Sofya Andreyevna Bers (or Behrs).
Historians say she brought Tolstoy the greatest happiness; never before or after was his creative life so rich or his personal life so full. And they had 13 children!

Forgive me for only naming artists and writers first, because I am one of them and we never fail to love and adore our muses.

The women we love are the ones who inspire us most to excel and succeed in life.
And let me come back home and to the present and mention one of the most inspiring stories.

Chief Michael Adeojo of Elizade Group who has also established the Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ekiti State will never forget the muse of his celebrated success.
The name Elizade was inspired by his beloved late wife Elizabeth Wuraola Ojo, he met as a fellow student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the early 1960s.
"We both made up our minds to be partners for life," he reminisced.

As an artist my muse was a Nikky, German blonde from Munich who literally walked into my life in 1992 after a neighbour she met at the Bar Beach on Victoria Island in Lagos told her about me and she came looking for me!
She was also an artist and sociologist. She was down to earth and even tied wrapper like a native African woman. She so inspired me that I became the curator of the biggest art exhibition in Nigeria in 1993, held at both the National Museum and National Arts Theater in Lagos where I had my first big break. My drawings and paintings sold out.

As an entrepreneur, another woman I love inspired my Q1 brand of Tablet PC.
She wanted a Tablet for her birthday and instead of just going to get her one from the market, I was so inspired that I decided to ask for a specific one to be made especially for her overseas and the slogan of the Tablet PC is: "Q1, Fall in love" and it has TV, Wifi and BBM. And she is so excited about it that I have gone ahead to even introduce the Q1 Gold and Q1 Silver versions and going into Franchising. The first Nigerian Tablet PC with dual sims phones with BBM, TV, Wifi and so much more all inspired by the love for a woman I have mentioned here in 2008 when I first met her at the bank where she works till date. And Q1 stands for "Quality is our first priority' in love and life. Don't settle for less.

I know there are many guys here who have sweethearts who have inspired them to achieve great things.

joke!!!

raziboi: joke!!!

John Q. Public, the is joke is always on those who have no value to add to the lives of others.
Who pass on as nothing.
From nothing to nothing.
The future belongs to those whose ideas create the future.
And not to the John Doe and Jane Roe on the internet.

Nice one op
Food for thought

The bloody biatch

still thinking about it

just 10%

My ex is to an extent a part of the little (positive)I have become today. She is 5 years older, needed to tie the nuptial knot asap and that led to our break up.

Let me read some other pples comment 1st

Mostly selfish interest. If she does too well, he talks her down and act like it's for her good. If ge doesn't step up, she pats his back while on the look out for a replacement. Competition starts and people stop being themslves, just cos they want their partners to give them acceptance.

Not inspired by anyone close, because sometimes all I see is envy and that can be motivation enough sha.

Wait... Lemme think

Orikinla: The popular saying that behind every successful man, there is a woman is not a lie,

.I don't wait to be inspired, my inspiration comes from within

Her job is to sustain it by doing those things dat made me go for her
Don't ask me wat those things are

Chaii on front page already..,without comment

Bump

This " behind every successful man there's a woman" adage shouldn't be generalized

There are some men who their downfall is caused by the woman they married

LMAO @d above comments

Her love made me FEARLESS.

Back in 2009, i designed a web for a lawyer's NGO only for the guy to come back after 11months demanding for the password to my database, after much pleading by his agent, i decided to give it up for 140,000NGN I think (not sure), afterwhich the guy called and threatened to serve me a court letter. Oh boy, before that time, i dread anything court/police/lawyer but whilst still speaking with the guy on phone, my girl's name just flash passed my brains and I reply the lawyer boldly, see you at the first hearing...where the liver came from, I no know till today.

The guy eventually begged me with 50,000NGN, that was when web designing pays not now that every Kunle and Akpors can develop a site for 5,000NGN.

Too bad, we started dating after being friends for 2yrs and had to go back to our friend zone as she couldn't bear seeing her friends play with me as they have always been before we started dating.

I miss those moment but now, love is secondary, i gatz make my cash since SURULERE is alien to our ladies

Mr Orikinla, I didn't know you are an artist until today.

Will be right back shortly *cooking*

The person that I love inspired me to cheat on other

#SINGLE

thinking...

When there is money....yes His/her words, life inspires you, the love blossoms and all promises are met and new ones are made
When there is no money....Yeeea He/she expires you, the love withers and begins to have Ebola virus and promises changes to complains, frustration.

ok

ideology: Nice one op

In as much as your partner should inspire you. There is a need to understand that a 'relationship' is a 'mutual association'! Nobody is doing anybody any favour,we are both doing ourselves favour,we are both helping ourselves by being love!
