Many years ago, a customer walked into our Lekki outlet, visibly very upset. She had ordered a smoothie and angrily complained that she could taste banana in it. The problem? That particular product wasn’t supposed to contain any banana at all. My team replied, saying there was

Too many young people get stuck 2-5 years after graduation because they started in jobs they don’t like or feel are beneath them. I get it. I changed careers three times before I found my path. But here’s the truth: your way out starts with mastering where you are. Your current

Earning a 1600 in SAT places you in the top 0.1% of all test-takers. He's going straight to the top!!

I have a very good news for Nigeria. This boy Agbo Adoga from Graceland International School, Port-Harcourt just scored a perfect SAT score of 1600. He is the first ever in Nigeria to achieve this. His school uses educare and educare exams prep platform

I have an additional perspective on the reason for this. Low wages. Potential workers are rejecting employment or quitting because of low wages compared to the cost of living. So they'll rather sell stuff online or stay home than spend all they earn on transport and food.

When you give your best at work, you do yourself the bigger favour than your company. And remember, how you do anything is how you’ll do everything. Excellence compounds, the more you do excellent work, the more you get used to doing excellent work. Be excellent where you are!
