Say it out loud until you really hear it! Nobody owes you their attention! Nobody owes you a job! Nobody owes you a pay rise! Nobody owes you a car! Nobody owes you any allowance! Nobody owes you a seat at the strategic table! Nobody owes you an opportunity!
We operate at a high level of responsibility when we constantly remind ourselves that nobody owes us anything in life. The worst form of mentality to carry around is ‘Entitlement mentality’. Next to it is ‘Victim’s mentality’. Entitlement and victim mentality have eroded the mental capacity of the African youths to think responsibly and take ownership of their lives.
The rich hold themselves responsible for their success or failure in life. When we are hooked on excessive need for validation and attention from others, it diminishes the self-awareness of our true ability. Hear this loud and clear: No one is coming to save you; you are your own rescue! The greatest threat to your destiny is the belief that someone else will save it. Barrack Obama once said, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” You must take ownership of your future. You must stop acting in manners and ways in which people around you continue to see you as a liability or a beggar.

SPECIAL REPORT: Akpabio’s habitual lateness delays Senate plenaries, disrupts legislative schedulesLate Afrobeat superstar, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, in his early musical ensemble days as Africa ‘70, recalibrated a folklore that told the story of food shortage and hunger. The folklore, which Fela entitled “Alujanjankijan” brims with the motif of greed and its implications. The hunger folktale goes thus: Long time ago, a very severe famine hit the animal kingdom, leading to intense food crisis. As against the predictions of diviners called to seek the face of divinities for solution, hunger continued to ravage the land, so much that the kingdom’s silos were completely depleted. Lion, the king of the jungle and the monarch of the kingdom, called a meeting of all known animals. After all, don’t the elders say, though “eat” and “become” are rendered same way in Yoruba lingual representation, what to eat occupies a higher hierarchical ladder than what we want to become?
