The business world is not devoid of two terms which often emerge in conversations about innovation and leadership. They are: intrapreneur and entrepreneur. While they sound similar, their paths and working environments differ greatly. Both play vital roles in driving growth and progress, yet each comes with unique challenges and advantages. Who is an Entrepreneur? An entrepreneur is someone who starts and manages their own business. They create products or services, build a brand from the ground up, and take on the full responsibility for profits and losses. Entrepreneurs are the risk-takers who often invest their savings, time, and energy…
Readings: Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18; Psalm 34; 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18; Luke 18:9-14 Grace and peace to you, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Today is the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. I would like to reflect on all the readings before us, as they beautifully unite under one theme: the cry of the lowly and the humility that moves the heart of God. THE FIRST READING – SIRACH 35:12-14, 16-18 The First Reading is from the Book of Sirach, a text found only in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. A man named Jesus Ben Sira, a Jewish…
1. The Power & Peril of Public Exposure When a private matter becomes publicly exposed—as is the case with actress Regina Daniels’ alleged statement, “In Ned Nwoko’s house I’m nothing… I cannot stand the violence; it’s too much” —There are major implications. Lesson: Being in the spotlight magnifies both triumphs and struggles. What might have been closed-door becomes public discourse. For those involved: maintaining privacy, vulnerability and self-protection becomes harder. Media and social channels can add pressure rather than relief. For observers: we must practise restraint. We may see fragments of someone’s life—but rarely the full picture. The call by…
Your lips are one of the most expressive features of your face. Whether you prefer a natural tint or a bold colour, knowing how to define them properly can elevate your look and boost your confidence. The art of lip definition is not just about applying lipstick; it is about understanding your lip shape, choosing the right products, and applying them with precision. 1. Start with a smooth canvasBefore you reach for your lip pencil or lipstick, ensure your lips are smooth and hydrated. Exfoliate gently with a sugar scrub or a soft toothbrush to remove any dead skin.

Weddings are joyful, emotional and often overwhelming. From the venue to the guest list, countless decisions compete for your attention. But beneath all the glitter and excitement, every couple needs a list of non-negotiables—the things that truly matter and must not be compromised. These are your guiding principles, helping you create a celebration that reflects who you are, not what others expect. 1. Your relationship comes first It’s easy to get lost in the frenzy of planning and pleasing others. But your wedding is, at its heart, a celebration of love and commitment between two people.

By Christopher Onyewuchi In Nigeria’s ongoing debate about equity, federalism, and marginalisation, it has become fashionable for commentators to accuse the Igbo of harbouring a hidden agenda for dominance. The latest of such arguments suggests that the Igbo should ally with the Yoruba and the Middle Belt to push for devolution — as though their agitation for inclusion were a cloak for ambitions once “realised” in the First Republic and “revived” under President Goodluck Jonathan. This framing, though convenient, is profoundly misleading. It distorts both history and intent. The truth is simpler and less sinister: the Igbos do not seek…
Before streaming platforms, international awards, and multimillion-dollar film budgets, there was a generation of dreamers who carved a path where none existed. They told stories with limited resources but abundant creativity. Today, their work forms the foundation of what we know as Nollywood.

Ola Balogun A trained filmmaker, Ola Balogun is credited with producing some of Nigeria’s earliest feature films, including Ajani Ogun and Cry Freedom. His storytelling captured the realities of post-independence Nigeria, highlighting Yoruba traditions, social struggles,…
