Fueling Wahala?

We need peace and not wars.

It's good for mutual co-existence, commerce, tourism, entertainment and all that's good.

Matters as straightforward as righteous upliftment could be as complicated as devious down-casting if care is not taken.

Peace - enjoyed nicely - fuels prosperous businesses.

We thrive 'steaming' positive energies stemming from psychologically safe environment.

Earning profits, growing at scale and attaining lofty heights career-wise are impossible without clear vision and enabling environment.

Wahala in local parlance refer to serious problem. Hence, "No Wahala" means "no problem".

Few years ago, Adeniran Fadeyibi - as exceptional HSE leader - transformed "No Wahala" into a safety slogan that won hearts and minds in his workplace.

Leaders don't fuel Wahala, they extinguish it. 

Hence, this GOT BORN Series focuses on psychological safety.
