WHAT IS THE MENTORING SYSTEM OF THE IJAWS?
IF ANY,
HOW PRODUCTIVE, EFFECTIVE, PROFITABLE AND IMPARTING HAS IT BEEN ?
MENTORSHIP!
The Yorubas are the most successful in legal practice. They have the highest number of SANs and the best law firms in Nigeria. Why? Mentorship. AFE BABALOLA alone is said to have mentored at least 17 lawyers to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria. They ensured education for their people
Mentorship is the reason Bola Tinubu is celebrated. He has mentored many political god-sons to political greatness.
Our own can only remember their children and family membersmembers
The Igbos are the most successful in business. Why? Mentorship. The average Igbo business owner is thinking of how he will settle his "nwa boy" and also make him a millionaire.
Our own people will hardly tell you of job vacancies in their place of work or even business opportunities
A candle loses nothing by lighting another. In fact a candle over works itself by not lighting another. Selfishness and petty envy is killing us. You are blessed to bless others. You are lifted to lift others. You are favoured to favour others.
A GREAT MAN IS HE THAT HAS MADE OTHERS GREAT.

GREAT FOOD FOR THOUGHT WORTH CIRCULATING!
