Letter to Coach Keshi

Dear Coach,

I congratulate you on your recent feat and above all for bagging the ticket to represent Africa on the world stage-the FIFA confederations cup. And for the good job you have been doing on the national team, well-done sir!

I want to use this medium to pour out my heart on issues pertaining to the Super Eagles- the Pride of Nigerians.

After the AFCON, I was expecting some players to be excused from the team, while others are given the opportunity to “fight” for jersey- not in all positions though! My interest was more on the attack of the team, our strikers. Even if it means considering some players based on their past records with the national team, for the time they have stood up to make the difference.

 

One of the players that come to mind is

Obafemi Martins, I can’t forget in a hurry, the last minute goal he scored which made us qualify for the last world cup-against Kenya? I may sound sentimental but, the fact is remains that, experience can never be bought! He may not have made it to the Nations cup, but in my own opinion, he would have done better than some guys who made the team.

Osaze, the onetime favorite of Nigerians, no matter the misunderstanding sir as a manager and the “father” of the national team, you should be able to manage every kind of “character”. An African proverb says; when you spank a child with the right hand, draw him closer with the left. A coach is a good manger of human resources-regardless of the personalities and characters.

Kalu Uche, the man who made the difference for us at the last world cup. Injury denied him from making it to AFCON in South Africa, what about the subsequent matches?

Emenike, what would have been our story at AFCON with those blunt strikers- we sure missed him at the Confederations Cup. Victor Moses, another player injury denied a place in the Confederations Cup squad.

There is a future for the Eagles, going by the promising display at the confederations cup, but the absence of some players should not be an excuse when we have good and reliable replacements.

Not taking anything away from the team. The Eagles did well at the Confederations Cup but would have done better with sharp strikers. Least I forget, what happened to Obinna Nsofor, Anichebe, Chinedu Obasi, Ike Uche, Kalu Uche, Ekigo Ehiosun?

The earlier we learn our lessons, the better for us and the brighter our chances in subsequent competitions. And let’s remember that it is how well you are able to convert your chances that makes a good team. Missing begging chances will do us no good.

Continue the good job, big boss!

Why Personal Development?

Personal/self development is any activity that culminates into your growth, worth and increases your value. Activities that improve awareness and (Self) identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance quality of life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.

It includes formal and informal activities for developing others. 

Without any effort or commitment to improve anything, such thing will remain in its raw form thereby been underestimated and under-valued. Hence, the need for development to bring out the best out of such thing/product/material- you can never get the best out of any raw material until it is developed or worked upon.

What is Development?

 

1. Any activity that aids the quality of a particular thing or person.
2. To become or make larger, more mature, or advanced.
3. Start to exist, experience, or possess. 
4. Convert to a new purpose
5. To increase the worth of something

  

Why Do I Need Personal –Development?

“Where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable”

                             Dr. Myles Munroe

There is often a reason for any activity that we embark upon as human beings which explains the fact that we are logical in nature.  When God created us, He expects us to keep improving and developing. He expects us to develop and become better in order to fulfill His purpose.

“Where you are today is your fault. Where you’ll be tomorrow is your choice”

                             Adeolu Akinyemi

We need personal development because:

1. It directs our attention to important things.
2. It increases our capacity.
3. It connects us with positive people.
4. It increases our worth and value.
5. It enhances leadership.
6. It increases our level of competence.
7. Without personal Development fulfilling purpose is a delusion.
8. It is a sign of maturity and responsibility.

 

It is important that we invest in ourselves constantly to upgrade by continuously learning new things, acquiring new/more skills. It requires your commitment, care and attention.
