Lens Bias graduated from Northwestern High School, Hyattsville, Maryland and subsequently attended University Of Maryland. He wore jersey number 34 and one of the best basketball players in college history. He was compared to Michael Jordan and so many believe he was better. He was the ACC athlete of the year(1986) and player of the year (1985-1986). Seeing all the assets and prospects , the boston celtics drafted him in 1986 . Bias and his father travelled to new york to sign the acceptance of the contract to Boston Celtics. Reebok was also there to sign him on a 3 million dollars contract, just to wear their shoes. Bias and his father returned home to Riverdale Maryland, where the entire family was waiting to celebrate the success of their child. The millions of dollar deal with Celtics and the shoe deal contract. It was a dream come true for the father , mother and the entire family. This meant that they were rich, and would say good bye to riverdale maryland. Later on in the night

I breezed into one of the African stores in the suburbs of DC(District of Columbia)- USA. Grocery buying normally is meant to be cheap, that is when you are buying American groceries. But when you make the mistake of breezing into an African store, you would have to cough out blood to pay for items on the shelves. I have being a Nigerian all my life, a total switch to American dishes is just difficult for me to handle. I still manage Chinese, India and Thai food, but American dishes seems to send me to the latrine.(toilet). The first thing i noticed in front of the store was a caption which says: "There is no refund, exchanges may be permitted depending on Stores discretion" That said , African stores are just different from other stores. Your six senses has to be alert to avoid been cheated. Here are my reasons i. Bread, the agege bread(butter bread) on the shelves has no expiration dates. You have to look at it closely, to determine when the bread was made. After this, you

For some of us, switching jobs from company to company seems to be a regular event. But there was a particular company i left that i drove out of the parking lot with tears in my eyes. I loved the environment , liked my colleagues and also the pay was not that bad. I started doing my little research on why my eyes were all watery to leave for one company and others i was excited to pack my things and run. Here are my findings , based on the topic ONBOARDING. "Onboarding is the process of acquiring, accommodating, assimilating and accelerating new team members, whether they come from outside or inside the organization. The prerequisite to successful onboarding is getting your organization aligned around the need and the role. " CASE STUDIES( Taken from the SMART CEO magazine) Cindy Jenkins(director of Human Resources AttivaSoft) ONBOARDING Before the new hire's first day. AttivaSpft sends them an email with their orientation schedule. The CEO sends a welcome letter to t

When Talent is spelt with a capital "T". It shows one's achievement is unequalled ,unrivalled and unparalled. That is what i can say about Micheal Jackson. Having sells of over 750 million copies...wow That is an achievement that is scary. From the hits of Billy Jean. To the fright of thriller. To the dance steps of dangerous . To the walks of moon walk . What else can i say.. The beats , the hits, the sounds speaks for itself. The videos outshines others. The dance steps gives your mind something to write about. And my favorite part... the jeans.. that jeans is just too tight . It wraps around his waist , how a man dances with this... i can't just imagine. We make excuses every single day. We blame the system. We blame the economy. We blame "green card". We blame the president. We blame the color of our skin. But Michael has shown a way out of excuses... Bring out quality, and the world would have no choice than to patronize you. That remains one major thin

Am just fascinated with words.. especially when it is creatively crafted in a way that touches the heart. I recall seeing this phrase more than a decade ago.. "you are the whisper of a summer breeze" , so i decided to find out the origin... Paul Abdul song.... "RUSH RUSH" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbU1fKXxqvY

There is money on I-75.. this is what i have being waiting for..all my life.. Am on my way... please am not picking up any calls for now...

My home boy (Femi) was having his birthday coupled with the festivities of the nigerian entertainment awards, so we all decided to party the weekend. Femi seems to be a common name, on my phone list alone there are at least 8 femi's ; i just dont get why our parents are attracted to this name , but i guess that is an argument for another day. As Femi was rababaing(dancing all the way to the ground) in front of the musician , i was imagining where in the world i met this clown. Femi Coach , like i call him is just a unique individual. Femi is the c

I have worked in 3 different countries and the work ethics just varies across the globe. Some believe in the high service syndrome and while others just want their tasks done. We left work early on friday; me and my colleagues went out to play STREET FIGHTER. Growing up , i used to think games were for kids , now i know better. It was a fun filled event , got back home and went straight to bed. My mum , and the entire family clan were suppose to visit me on saturday , so i ran out to farmers market in DC(Distric of Columbia). Meat buying in america is a different ball game from my regular shopping at Oshodi. The major difference is just the variety of meat . You can more or less demand for meat to the tiniest specific . Well, i went into the cold room(freezing like hell) to get my stuff. I was looking for some cow feet , croaker fish , goat meat and some other eateries. I was unable to find the cow feet; with my body shivering all over, i asked the chinese man co-ordinating affairs

The office boys decided to go out for lunch today. And of course you guess what guys talk about when they amongst themselves . We got into the car , six of us in total . We all decided to have lunch at an indian restaurant somewhere in silver springs. On our way to lunch , we started discussing about the economic recessions and how we all were tidying up our spending Here are excerpts from our discussions [Karthick]: Grocery shopping used to be 120 dollars now it is about 200 dollars. I had to cut back on a couple of things [Doyin] Really [Karthick] I registered my wife for a computer training school , now there is no time for her to attend weddings . She is busy doing one homework or assignment .The more she attends weddings the more she buys clothes and jewelries..And indian women love gold. [prathap]: That is a good idea, where is the training school? I want to register my wife too. I have cut off the toy buying . I did not have a toy when i was young,i dont see what superman wo

He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree and M.B.A., then got a high-paying job as an institutional equity sales trader. He married his dream girl, had two children and traveled the world on expensive vacations. Over the span of Karpman's impressive 20-year career as a trader, he climbed the company ladder, reaching a salary of $750,000 a year. "Life was good, we were making a lot of money -- and why wouldn't this just continue on?" Karpman said. From all appearances, Ken and Stephanie Karpman were living the American dream in Tampa, Fla., nestled in their 4,000-square-foot home that sits on a golf course. "I had no idea what anything cost in a store," he said. "I'd just put it in the cart and buy." Watch the entire video on ABC http://abcnews.go.com/Busi ness/story?id=7111098&page =1

Went out last night to see a movie director/artist friend of mine , and we spent the all night going over movie scripts and art designs. I envy Ivan alot , he makes probably twice of what i make and does all his work from the basement of his house . With Jazz music playing upstairs , we were busy talking about the CAN film festival competition and what we were submitting for the competition. I asked him about my project and he started complaining about what delayed him to complete my project.. [Ivan] Doyin meen.. i cant focus , too many distractions [Doyin] What do you mean you cant focus, i have paid you the balance , i need this stuff ASAP. [Ivan] my russian girlfriend left me , so i cant focus [Doyin] What did you do ? [Ivan] I did not do anything , her ex boyfriend called .... and she told me he wanted to go see him , cos he can do something drastic to himself [doyin] so what you are telling me is that she went back to her old boyfriend. [Ivan] Yes she did.. am miserable .. i jus

I have always thought i could handle anything , i repeat anything without being moved or pressured against my will. I was running low on cash (september 2007). I decided to rent out a room from one of my overglorified bungalow. At least that would help me with the cash flow. Placed an advert on craigslist for someone who is trying to rent a room An average age man called in and scheduled an appointment . He came to look at the room and asked all the regular questions about how much i wanted to collect , what he was allowed to do and the things he would bring along. Eric , quoted all the scriptures available in the bible , he seemed well knowledgeable of the bible , and seemed to be a spiritual person. Well i had no problem with that , all i wanted was no trouble and prompt payment. He told me he was going to move in friday night , i gave him the keys and kept copies of his license and social security. I went partying with the boys that friday night and got home around 2a.m in the morni

Jenifa still remains the most talked about movie for last year. The plot of a village beauty queen from aiyetoro , who comes to a university campus and is introduced to some unruly acts by friends/colleagues. In terms of comedy lines and portraying the role of a strong typical village girl. I think funke akindele played that role very well. In as much as there were a lot of technical flaws in terms of screen play/writing and lightning/sound. The movie is still a movie to watch .... By the way , it is on youtube.. the entire thing... but dont say i told you so ..

I seem to be tired of reading the old king james version of the bible. The words like Thou , Shalt , whou , seems not be exciting to me any longer. So i went to barnes and noble to spice up my bible with a new bible. Bible buying has changed over the years , there are so many variants that one can get lost in the adventure of seeking for the right bible. I stumbled on this bible "MAX LUCADO , Devotional Bible" . I flipped the bible open , very colorful and attractive , but there is still an excerpt from the introduction to the MONEY message that has my mind puzzling ... Here are the excerpts word for word " MONEY If money is the guage of the heat then this study revealed that money is on the heat of most americans. In exchange for the ten million dollars 25 percent would abandon their family 25 percent would abandon the church 23 percent would become prostitute for a week 16 percent would give up their american citizenship 16 percent would leave their spouse 13 percent w

I still try to recall how and where i met this tall intimidating guy .His voice sounded more like a revolving rocket that can make an lily hearted person run for cover. It all started one of those early morning sunday services , Pastor Oye was busy preaching his sermon , "YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE" . The usher , seated two couples right behind me , one tall guy and this average height lady. I just pondered in my mind ,what a lovely couple . A tall handsome man and a beautiful lady with her darting black eyes. My mind was already pondering and imagining things , this is a perfect scenario from the "Mills and Boons love series" , i called my brains back to order "Doyin , listen to the message ". The couples were just whispering right behind me , i was a bit upset but kept my composure and pretended as if they were not bothering me. Service ended and i exchanged numbers with the guy and also realized the lady was his cousin. That was how i met Segun. Segun is just d
