TURBO: achieve your dreams swiftly

Hey! It's a #DoroFantastic Saturday morning for me. I don't know about you. But you better make sure you are the one holding the pen writing your life's experience.

In a bbm chat with a distant cousin this morning, I got this great report about the potency and effectiveness of my Premium Discovery Episode titled, HORSEPOWER. My cousin told me it's helping him and that he listens to it every Saturday morning! What!

It's amazing how the things we seem to despise turn out to be treasures to others. I can count how many times I've listened to that CD as the author; that tells me something inside it needs to tingle my brain to move higher and faster in my pursuit of my dreams.

So what are you waiting for too?

Turbo forward... Ride with HorsePower!

To your effectiveness,

Adeleke David
Mr. Effectiveness

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS: 234 Girls, 17 days, 1 country.

17 days have passed since the kidnap of 234 teenage girls from their hostel in Government Girls College, Chibok, Borno State in Nigeria. The abduction is reported to have been carried out by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. The missing state of the girls have triggered civil unrest and protests, social media campaigns with the hash tag: #BringBackOurGirls on Twitter, avatar black out by several Nigerian Twitter users including Mr. Leke Alder (@LekeAlder).

If the whereabout of the girls remains a mystery after 17 days, does it make any reason to justify it by the still missing Malaysian Airline? Millions of dollars have been spent on campaigns for the girl child, but this deathly blow to more than a hundred families is a record crime. In a country where a leader exists, 234 girls should never disappear without a hint of where they currently are. The United Nations is mostly laid back about this horrible and saddening situation.

Sahara Reporters wrote 2 days ago: PDP Chieftain Expresses Doubt Chibok School Girls Were Kidnapped, Asks “Who Saw It Happen?” A CNN article reports that, "A total of 230 parents registered the names of their daughters who were missing on the day of the kidnap," said Asabe Kwambura, principal of the Government Girls Secondary School. "From my records, 43 girls have so far escaped on their own from their kidnappers. We still have 187 girls missing."

Whatever will come out of this, the days ahead will reveal. But let me leave it to your imagination what sort of response the Nigerian government would have had if the daughters of national leaders were involved. I bet that the sheer insensitivity of the President and his cabinet wouldn't be so. One is left to wonder whether they actually care about the girls or are simply interested in dramas of the 2015 Presidential elections.

Life is short; live it to the fullest.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
