THE PLACE OF INFORMATION                 The development of a nation is directly proportional to the mental strength of its people. A people with creative mental ability produce a developed nation. Hence, the destiny of a nation lies in the hands of its people. No nation can build itself. It is the responsibility of its people to build it. Suffice me to say that any under-developed nation has itself to blame and the developed nations have their people to thank. In the light of the above, we can simply assert that our mental capacity as a people has kept Africa the way it is currently.                 One of the ways of going forward and developing this continent of ours is for us to fill our mind with the right information. Information in this context can be seen as knowledge. No person can act beyond what they know. In fact, the difference between two or more individuals in simply the quality of information they possess. The more quality the knowledge you possess is, the more

THE POWER OF THE MIND (3)             Personally, I believe that the best and most important asset in the human body is the mind. This is because it is responsible for every action we take. In other words, our mind determines, to a large extent, what comes to us and what we become in life. Therefore, it is very necessary to keep our mind active and productive.             The importance of the mind is held in high esteem in our world today in that an individual is addressed by the state of their mind. That is to say, you are your mind and your mind is you. A perfect example is seen during any census exercise embarked upon by countries. During this exercise, people whose minds are deranged are not counted because they are seen as unproductive citizens. Their minds are ‘dead’ and this automatically makes them unproductive. Furthermore, when an individual has lost their mind, they are not taken seriously because the instrument necessary for facilitating their speech and actions i

THE POWER OF THE MIND (2)             Having discovered that the mind differentiates us (humans) from other living creatures, it is expected that we utilise the potentials of the mind to its maximum. Every action embarked upon is a product of the mind (whether consciously or unconsciously). The main reason why the African continent has been held back in terms of development is simply because its people have not maximised the potentials that are inherent in their mind. We have failed in way or the other to engage our mind productively. We have also forgotten that it is our personal responsibility to stir our mind productively else it will remain dormant and inactive. Remember, an inactive mind can never be productive.             Our approaches to issues differ. In fact, the way through which we perceive the problems, challenges, tests and situations that surface around us on a daily basis determines how we put our mind to work. That is to say, if your mind tells you that a pa
