The secret resource in Nigeria

 It will amaze you to know that when we talk about resources in Nigeria the common man only thinks of crude, precious, stones, bitumen and other minerals. It has come to my observation that over time citizens of this great nation Nigeria are yet to uncover one of our most precious, valuable and economic transforming resource which is HUMAN RESOURCE.

  The polls from 2014 shows that Nigeria is the 7th most populous country in the world and yet individuals are yet to understand that they are the most important resource this country have and due to this ignorance so many have just decide to sit out their lives not adding and developing themselves.

 Individuals must come to the understanding that hidden potentials are no potential and at such show case and display this potentials, the next question is how can I as an individual develop this potential (even in my field of work and business)?

 

       Understanding Your Potentials:

You must learn to view every passion as a gift or potential; some people are passionate in writing, some in singing, and some in swimming, others in talking. Your view about those hobbies must change and your must begin to view them as potentials.

2.       Articulate Those Potentials:

The next step is penning down those potential, those thing you can do even if you are paid or rewarded. By penning them down it becomes easy to understand which and which can be monetized. And those that are not easily monetized can be ruled out of the list.

Then you can decide which you do best and which is more comfortable for you as an individual.

3.       Improve On It:

It is not just enough to pen down you potentials, you must now work on yourself to improve on it. You need to start taking classes and training to improve that potential in order to stand out in the crowd. Read books, watch videos and attend seminar on developing that potential, also conductor individual research to improve you.

4.       Marketing It

This is one complex part for some people; the inability to present their money making ideas to the world. Look for a problem that potential of yours can solve or an innovation it can bring, also tell people about it and find out how it can help people grow or benefit from that hobby.
