It is a beautiful thing to step out of the bounds of 2025 and feel the fresh breeze of 2026. The sun has risen on the horizon, flowers are in bloom, awakened by new energy from the eastern corridor, and the birds sing in quiet ecstasy. Men and women, renewed in imagination, welcome the gentle harmattan as radios and televisions announce the arrival of a new year. A new day. A new year. With drums and songs, claps and clicks, likes and shouts, we welcome 2026.
May 2026 bring abundance to you, your friends, and your families; abundance like the baobab tree, unconstrained in health, wealth, and wisdom. May the works of your hands be blessed. My name is Ndu-bu-isi-uwa (life is first in all things in the universe) and I pray that life, in abundance, finds you this year.
As we cross into 2026, pause and review 2025. Identify where your processes can improve. Then step boldly into the new year with the disciplined energy of harmattan, ready to unlock new vistas in your career and personal economy.

Remember this enduring truth about careers: two energies shape them, the physical energy of youth and the wisdom energy of experience. Early in our journeys, organizations compensate us largely for physical energy: speed, stamina, and execution. Over time, that compensation shifts toward wisdom: judgment, pattern recognition, and leadership. When we fail to recognize and prepare for this transition, we risk breaking the arc of an otherwise great career.
Think of the athlete. In youth, success is driven by strength and vitality. With age, longevity comes from mastery, strategy, and insight. We are all athletes in our respective fields, and 2026 is another opportunity to prepare deliberately for that transition.
So, compound your wisdom. Invest in judgment. Deepen your processes. And let 2026 be a year of sustained growth and victories.
A journey into 2026.
A journey into abundance.
Happy New Year.
