Floyd Mayweather shares his testimony - 'From mediocre grades to employing people with Master degrees'

While making his 56th independence day broadcast, President Buhari promised that the recession would soon be over. But some believe the speech was vague on the ways to actually solve the challenge, especially as it relates to the cost of governance. What do you think of this? To me, his comment is natural. Anybody would have said the same thing especially as he has the responsibility on him. Even if the situation is zero, he would still say the same thing. People must have hopes and it is natural. But for me, if a leader is telling you that you should be hopeful, that this thing would be over as soon as possible going by what he was saying, one would have expected that as the father of the nation, he should be able to tell us about concrete plans – like this is what he intends to do in one month, two, three months, quarterly, in five and six months – at least we need to know that he is working with a team that actually knows where it is hurting us and the way out of the problem. We should also be able to look at the body language. Apart from this, we should see that our presidential fleet find their way into the market. We should be able to see that the fleet is reduced and those things that make them enjoy luxury and those expensive convoy, are tempered down. We should be able to see that the billions spent on what they eat at the presidential villa per annum is reduced. We should begin to see a situation where you not only tell us about reducing your salary by half, but your allowances too. If you have to travel abroad for $1 million, we should be able to reduce it to $300,000. At least this is sacrifice. The same applies to the governors, the local government chairmen and the senators. They should forfeit the multi-million bullet-cars they amass to themselves. We should begin to see that the over N36 million that goes to each of them in the form of allowances be reduced. You cannot, at the expense of over 170 million Nigerians eat what you want and get allowances without reducing it; you go everywhere in the world without managing, you move around with tax-payers’ money in big vehicles without conscience, you give allowances to your cronies, your family members are living in opulence, buying cars and giving to their friends and you are saying we should make sacrifice? I don’t think it is justifiable. READ ALSO: PDP members meeting in Abuja for reconciliation We must be seen to show examples if we want the best for our country. That example must start from us -our leaders. It is unfortunate that we are into this mess today, it is unfortunate that those who should rekindle our hopes do not even see the hopes; they only keep telling us to be hopeful. I pray that God intervenes because there are clear indications that those ruling this country do not even know where we are headed. The people must now be very committed and prayerful. We need to make sacrifice but the sacrifice should not be streamlined to those who desperately desire good leadership but the leaders. You can’t tell the people to sacrifice while you are living large. It is not right. The Senate and a section of the country are calling for the sack of the finance minister and that of budget… Honestly, if you check the way the finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, talks, even though I am not an accountant, I can tell you that she is not fit to manage our financial resources. The best place for her is to be an ambassador, a diplomat maybe in the UK where she can speak oral English. She can be attached to the UN or somewhere to work since she talks without action and talks as if she is giving a lecture without any practical steps. We don’t need people that talk too much. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was not talking too much like this but we were able to see how the international community respects her.

Look at the minister for Youth and Sports, at what point did he arrive at where he now began to wear red beret? Is it part of governance to wear khaki and red beret when your ministry is not functional and you keep talking anyhow? Look at the embarrassments we now face in that ministry; the voice of the Nigerian youths are not heard at all. He just sits in Abuja and handpick some people he is comfortable with and claim he is running a ministry while there is nothing to write home about on sports. Look at the embarrassments from the other sectors of the country. In fact, if you allow me, I will mark this present cabinet 10 percent out of 100. So it means almost all of them should be pushed out so that fresh people with the needed ideas are appointed. You don’t just put people in places of authority just to appease them politically. READ ALSO: Saraki demands improved welfare for Nigerian teachers Another example is that of the minister of Communication. Before he became minister, remember the way he spoke while being screened. Remember how he made the impression that the country is not worth dying for. Is that the kind of a leader we should have? That would have been enough to disqualify him, but he ended up being a minister. For how long do we continue to bring in people who are not willing to give but constantly take at the expense of the collective interest of the country? They do not see the need to sacrifice but they extend the sacrifice to those who are already helpless. The common people suffer for hunger and economic recession while they are busy enjoying their lives and if they have common headache, they travel abroad and spend so much instead of just buying paracetamol here. In seven months from now, the president would have been two years in office. What is your assessment of his government? Honestly, I think we are still far from reality. The expectations of Nigerians and their hopes have been dashed. Some can’t even talk again but some of us are still strong enough to talk because we trained to be rugged and used to the trenches. No matter how bad it is or how you threaten us, we will talk. We ensure we still speak the minds of Nigerians who can’t speak on their own now. Some of those who have refused to speak out at this time are doing so because they have skeletons in their cupboard.

Retired super rich boxer, Floyd Mayweather, took to social media to share his testimony on how he transformed his life, even though he dropped out of school. He wrote: 

"It's funny...when I was in high school, my grades were always mediocre. My focus wasn't on getting the highest GPA in class. I was focused on getting my mother off of drugs and my father out of prison. This is my testimony! I wouldn't be rated one of the top, most influential entertainers in the world if I never told you the road I had to travel for me to get to where I am. Now, I look around and all of my employees have Masters degrees and 4.0 GPA's. It's one thing to be book smart but, it's another thing to have the intelligence and wisdom to surround yourself with a team of smart and driven people to help sustain your success!

Sitting in my handmade luxury lounge cube... counting my blessings; in the comfort of my custom private beach, laced with the softest sand you can find. Imported from Caladesi Island, exclusively for my multi-million dollar tropical estate. I have one of my executive chefs, putting together a gourmet spread made for a King. Ultimately, when you think about it... this isn't bad for an $800,000,000 drop out!
