You spent at least 4 years in the university or polytechnic, did they ever teach you anything about your personal economy? Yes, did they prepare you for yourself? Most times, schools are designed to prepare us for WORK in companies, organizations or governments.
Simply, one of the greatest surprises when I started work was this: the university system prepared me on how to utilize resources for companies, but did a very poor job on how I could run my own personal resources.
In FUT Owerri, we studied great topics in Engineering Management like Engineer Turns Manager, Managerial Accounting, etc. In all those domains, everything was on how to optimize resources for the employer (yes, the company). But none for the village boy’s Personal Economy, a more important call. That is why at Tekedia Institute, we developed a module on Personal Economy. Yes, your economy and how you can build and own it.

And with hardwork, grace and luck, that Personal Economy can work even when the National Economy or Global Economy is not firing at all cylinders. It is about strategy and planning. In the Igbo Nation, they give titles like “Ome na unwu” [one who does great things even during famine and scarcity] which means that you can find abundance even when a national or global economy is challenged.
Tomorrow, I will be teaching on “Building Investment Portfolios And Personal Economy“ at Tekedia Institute. It is always a great academic festival because we learn how to advance our own personal economies!
