Simple Math about Life
, talks about weighing the alternative of not believing in God. God is REAL and believing in God through Jesus Christ, has given me a fulfillment that words cannot explain. To get closer to God, I plan to increase my daily Bible study, set out at least 30 minutes of my day for praying and meditating, and increase my Gospel music library tremendously.
2) Publish at least two first-author articles from my doctoral program
In my recap of 1st year as a doctoral student, I talked about how we are trained to write publishable articles from the beginning of the program. Well, those papers need to be pushed out of my computer to places where they can actually make impact. This is one of my major projects for this year.
3) Publish more non-academic articles
I plan to grow the list of my published articles exponentially. In the past, I have published on Bella Naija, CosmopolitanNigeria, Words are Work, The Naked Convos
and Glam Africa. This year, I want to write for more blogs, websites, and magazines.
4) Collaborations
This is the year for all kinds of collaborations for me: brand, blog, project, etc. Last year, I focused on just writing articles; but this year, I would like to do a lot more. I currently work with Chisom Martin from Words are Work, where we run a column on relationships. I’m looking forward to hosting giveaways, running series with other bloggers/vloggers, creating lessons and E-courses, and organizing/participating in events and conferences.
5) Become a brand ambassador
As I’m typing this, I’m completely clueless as to how this will happen. But I believe my other goals will propel me to a point where I’ll be a major voice that brands will be interested in working with.
6) Travelling
This year is not the year to be in one location; the devil is a liar. The world is so big, I feel like I cheat myself by not exploring. There will be visits to new places and of course, meeting new people.
These are my 6 clear goals for this New Year. There are a lot more where that came from, but in the spirit of accountability, let’s start from six *hides face*.
Back to the question: Am I ready for 2016? Well, ready or not, 2016 is HERE!
I wish you an AWESOME 2016.
Have a Winning-Weekend

1. Definitely getting close to God will kinda sort everything else out…it's gotta be my number 1 too.
2. Help others grow
Etc
I completely agree with your second point too. I have seen and appreciated the value of lifting other people up. It is definitely something I have major plans of doing on the blog this year. I started last year with the "Studentpreneur" column and I want to do a lot more. Thanks for your comment Dear!
A great way to start the year..
Look forward to your testimony at the end of the year!!
Thank you Uzor! I look forward to see more of you on WSW.
