When you think of your BIG goal, sometimes you start feeling overwhelmed. Why? Because big goals don’t get achieved right away. Instead, you need to create mini goals to help excite you along the way. This way you can be more goal-orientated and build a habit of being more effective . Celebrating your small wins will help you stay motivated through your journey. Plus, celebrating is always super fun. Maybe you break your goal down to 10 small-sized goals with tasks that get you on track to achieve them.

Many people are not aware that if Buhari is ever to hand over to any Igbo man, it's most likely going to be Ogbonnaya Onu. This man has been with him for a long time since the days of ANPP.

I like Ogbonnaya Onu, he is a good man and nice to all. However, I would prefer Umahi to him as Buhari's successor. Umahi is a performer and has a strong character to be a man of his own. Onu on his own part, is as gentle as a dove, a character trait that will make it easy for cabals to hijack his presidency.
