WORLD INDUSTRY LEADERS

    • By Mike Cerutti publisher Richlist Int. Primate Elijah Ayodele has publicly dared former Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, to win the Oyo State governorship election without consulting him. The cleric made the statement in a virile video that has been circulating online, where he spoke directly to Adelabu and his political ambitions.

The primate recalled that he had previously given Adelabu prophetic guidance ahead of past elections, which he claimed the politician disregarded to his detriment. Ayodele stressed that the same pattern would continue if Adelabu relied solely on political strategy and financial strength w...

" The Enchanting City of Rome was not built overnight"- Italian proverb  He woke up today and first thing he did was say Thank You God. That is the daily habit of Prince Abayomi Alao, the Jos-born business magnate and Chairman of Maria Hotel and Maria’s Suites.

Coming a week after granting  RichlistInternational Magazine an exclusive piece on self-esteem, Chief Sunday Onos Akpoduado shares five practical strategies for building unshakable confidence and personal worth. The respected thought leader emphasized that self-esteem is not inherited but intentionally developed through discipline, mindset shifts, and daily habits that reinforce one’s value. First, master your inner dialogue. Chief Akpoduado insists that the words you speak to yourself shape your reality more than external opinions. Replace self-criticism with affirmations rooted in truth. When you catch yourself saying “I’m not good enough,” deliberately counter it with evidence of past wins, skills, and growth. Your mind believes what you repeat, so feed it language that builds rather than breaks. Second, set small wins and celebrate them. Self-esteem grows when you keep promises to yourself. Break big goals into daily, achievable tasks and acknowledge each completion. Whether it...
