…Your decision has created your circumstances. And unless you understand this, you will go on blaming your country, your leaders or other people, all the rest of your life.

The moment you embrace that you can do something about your circumstances, something begins to change.

INTRODUCTION

WARNING

This book is hazardous and detrimental to your ignorance. It can change your life and business forever. Yes! It has the power to damage your ignorance forever. Therefore, I strongly recommend it to any man who desires to be great in life.

This one dream I have when I picked up my pen to write on THE MAKING OF GREATEST is to see a greater majority of our people, who are thinking of how to give expression to their innate abilities, talents and hidden potentials, smile as they discover how they can employ these ten irrefutable tools of greatness to transport themselves from their present circumstances into their destined enviable greatness both in life and in their ministries.

Friends;

Your decision creates your circumstances.

You have decided to wait until there is a change in your country before your circumstance can change. That will make you better! Oh! You will become bitter and deteriorated as you wait from one year to another, from one political dispensation to another and from one belief system into another.

Maybe you have been blaming other people for your circumstances or you are being fought by your own belief system. Beloved, your decision has created your circumstances. And unless you understand this, you will go on blaming your country, your leaders or other people all the rest of your life.

The moment you embrace that you can do something about your circumstances, something begins to change. This is why I have been given the privilege by God to write this book, and to bring you to this focus that you can change your present circumstances by your decision to become great in life.

Welcome on board if you have just taken that indispensable decision. Your life and destiny is about to find real expression as you go through the pages of this book with me, from the first irrefutable tool to greatness to the tenth irrefutable tool of greatness.

To you who is already in business, this book has been written for you. It is to help you realise and take stock of what you have got, so as to assist you in your expansion plans and in going from one realm of greatness into another as you fulfil your destiny.

To you my dearly beloved students in the higher institutions of learning or in the secondary system of learning, you were equally considered while packaging this information. This book, unlike your school curriculum will prepare the students to think holistically and positively through these motivational keys, to help them fulfil their great destinies. You don’t need to join the trend of graduates seeking for employment. It will also prepare our young men and women on how to become achievers after they have left the higher institution, confidently armed to face the battles of life and business.

Then, to you who desire knowledge, I make bold to introduce this book. Get ready for a change of status. Your well of knowledge will get burst for explosion this time. So,
