A brilliant review. One of the things I’ve wondered reading through the book is if things lack recognizing opportunities can actually be learnt late on. Can one learn to less reserved and to take more risks? Overall, Olumide’s story and the lessons are so brilliant.
On dads, it is obviously not enough to be present but also with intent which is what I see in how his dad ran with the boys.
It's a question I keep asking myself. I am not very good at spotting opportunities but I keep asking myself if more practice will help i.e. focusing on being in the places where opportunities appear and see if things improve.
A brilliant review with an important lesson to take away. Perhaps it's time for us to think deeply and take action on the role of the home base in building a strong social fabric and an even stronger economy that works for everyone. Nigeria, one day...
I did not see that end coming. I've always known that the family is the biggest issue we face as a country and it is only a matter of time before it all becomes to obvious. Our generation needs to be more intentional about stopping the rot in the societal fabric.
Could never have imagined from the first paragraph that the article would wind up with the case for having good Dads in Nigeria.
Beautiful write-up.
Thank you!
