AS I mentioned here in the last edition, Bishop David Oyedepo’s 776-page book, Pillars of Destiny, which I just started reading then, would take me about a month to study and digest. So I’m still at it. However, if you’ve ploughed through the book faster than me, then go for this classic, The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie was the Scotsman who put Napoleon Hill onto developing the science of practical success that led to the all-time bestseller, Think and Grow Rich.

ON May 1, 2006, I shared a ground-breaking money-making information with members of our community which I called The Amazing 4-Step Secret System for Creating Unending Cash Flow that Keeps Putting Money In Our Bank Accounts Non-stop …Even When You’re Sleeping. Guaranteed!

Fast forward to 2009 and scores of smart Nigerians who, as a result of their thirst for success and genuine determination to become financially free, are now enjoying the benefit of acting on the information. One of them: 23-year-old Paul Oghoghorie, is now a self-confessed millionaire.

IF you thought Dr. Cosmas Maduka was coming to the May edition of SADC Wealth Empowerment Summit to gloss over how he made his money, you had less than five minutes to realize you were totally wrong.

The President of Coscharis Group was like no other Nigerian billionaire I’ve had the privilege of listening to talk about how to make it in Nigeria. Admittedly, they have been very few. Even then, Dr. Maduka was exceptional.

I’M currently exploring Bishop David Oyedepo’s recently released block-buster, Pillars of Destiny. Every sentence in this anointed 776-page volume is loaded with power, wisdom and deep understanding of the Word of God. It’s probably going to take me about a month to go through this book because I’m not ‘reading’ it but studying it. This book is a manual. And manuals are not supposed to be read but studied. If you’ve not got a copy yet, then go grab one today!

It’s rare. Very, very rare for you to find a wealthy Nigerian tell you the story of how he made his money.

To document the story in black and white, in a book, is even rarer. Very few Nigerians, to the best of my knowledge, have been able to do it.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you won’t find books authored by wealthy Nigerians. Of course there are many of them. Trouble is, many of those books are mere collection of essays, after dinner speeches, lectures delivered at colloquiums and the like.

A mentor knows –– or should know –– one or two things more than you, the mentoree. That’s why they are called mentors. They are masters in the field where they have expertise. They didn’t just become masters. They paid their dues. They invested quality time learning what they became experts on.

And this is why anyone seeking to achieve their level of success ought to listen to them. But guess what? Most people don’t do what their mentors tell them. Not even when they pay hefty fees for the advice.

Does that include you?
