We live in a time that calls for more expressive, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent men. And yet, the weight of leading—especially in a world still finding its feet—rests heavily on the shoulders of many. This week, this month, I speak especially to the men and fathers

Each birthday reminds me not just of how far I have come, but how much I have been helped by the grace and mercies of God. I do not take life for granted. Every breath, every opportunity, and every platform I have today is a gift—one I must use to uplift others. And so, each

In an age where every moment begs to be captured, we often forget the beauty of simply being present. Before we’ve truly felt the laughter, the music, the hug, or the silence — someone reaches for a camera. Not for vanity, but out of a desire to preserve. Yet in doing so, we

When I first visited the Safe Home, I made a promise—not just with words, but with my presence and with my heart. I told the children I would return, not just to check on the things we gave, but to check on them. And last week, I did just that. I went back—not for ceremony or

You don’t prepare at the door, you come ready from home. Start now, even with the little you have. Build quietly. Grow steadily. Invest in your impact. When your moment comes, it will all add up. This week, walk like someone who's been preparing. Because readiness isn’t rushed

Hello July. It’s the second half of the year, and we have much to be grateful for. The gift of still having a home… Still owning and running a business — even if it didn’t grow, it didn’t fold. Even if your plans didn’t take flight, you’re still dreaming — and that hope is

There is no show of strength today that isn’t the outcome of resilience yesterday. So as you step into this new week, remember — you’re not just surviving the pressure, the stretch, or the silence. You are stacking capacity. Every tear, every tough call, every quiet win is

Be Yourself — Others Are Already Taken This is more than a witty quote. It’s a profound call to embrace the original blueprint that is you. Sometimes, what we admire in others—the so-called “greener grass”—is simply the fruit of their intentionality, their daily watering, their

A TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI — By High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, Chairman, Platform Petroleum Limited It is with a deep sense of loss that I extend heartfelt condolences on the passing of His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, former President of the Federal Republic

Slow money wins the race. Not because it moves at the speed of caution, but because it flows with wisdom, the kind that comes from learning to compound your talents, not just spend them. We live in a time where everything screams “loud and fast.” But letting large on life

A DAY TO REMEMBER AT THE AIR FORCE SECONDARY SCHOOL, PORT HARCOURT. Today, I had the honour of standing in the midst of bright, young minds at the 30th Graduation and Prize-Giving Ceremony of the Air Force Secondary School, Port Harcourt, a school already setting the pace in

Followers wait to be directed. They rely on instructions, signals, and signs. But true leaders shape the path that others follow. This week, choose to lead. Don’t just exist within the culture. Shape it. Let your words, your work, and your will contribute positively to the

The Super Falcons have once again made Nigeria proud, clinching the 2024 Women's African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in a stunning victory against Morocco! This win is more than just a title, it's a testament to resilience, tactical brilliance, and the indomitable Nigerian

Hello August. We welcome you with both open hands and resilient hearts. The year has tested our strength, from rising costs to unsettling uncertainties and the dreams that still feel distant. But even in all of this, we are still here, still pushing, still believing. So, may

Yes, the rain can be inconvenient; flooded roads, heavy traffic, soaked shoes... But pause for a moment and imagine a whole year without it. No rain, no crops. No rain, no green. No rain, no growth. Sometimes, what feels like a burden is actually a blessing in motion. The

Not every barking dog deserves your attention. Some people are trapped in the endless need to have the last word, to respond to every jab, to prove every point. But the truth is, constant reaction drains your energy and keeps you from focusing on the things that really move

Yesterday, a young man came to my home and reminded me of something I had completely forgotten, an act of kindness from years ago. He told me how, as a struggling 200-level law student and an orphan, I paid his school fees during a meeting at The Autograph. That was all I did, or

Unforgiveness is a silent tormentor. It shackles the mind, poisons the heart, and weighs the soul down with thoughts that never rest. To refuse forgiveness is to give space to a spirit that suffocates joy and robs you of peace. This new week, choose freedom. Release the

In exercising my traditional obligation as the Paramount Head of Oruwari Briggs War Canoe Houses of Abonnema, I today received the body of my aunt, Late Lady Eudora Ineba Monima Christie Tobin-Briggs, as we commence the rites for her burial ceremony. She was called to eternal
