Our Story
A publication that advocates the maximising of your talent for your personal wealth creation and the benefit of your community!
2010 - I rewrote the book with the title, "God Has God Talent - ME". I registered the domain name www.thetalentjournal.com primarily to promote the book & write about talents. I published the book in 2011.
Late 1990's - I wrote two books - "Giving, As a Ministry" & "Operating in Faith". "Giving, As a Ministry" was published as a print book.
Early 2000's - I had a full conviction that writing was my God given talent and I enrolled on a correspondence writing course to develop my writing skills. However, I got caught up in the "rat race" of day to day living; I left writing by the side. I am yet to complete the correspondence writing course.
2007 - God used a message that mentioned copyright, licensing and royalty payments to re-awaken the vision of writing in me. Futher research revealed that God had a Divine Copyright, Patent, Registered Trade Mark, Licensing & Franchising Agreements. I started writing a book with progressive titles of “Divine Copyright: A Discourse of God’s Intellectual Property”, “Divine Copyright, Upgrade to Originality” “Upgrade Your Talents”. I completed it in 2008.
2011 - From "God Has Got Talent - Me", I was inspired about an innovative concept which was eventually developed into Pic2shine - www.pic2shine.com
2011 - I was inspired to develop two board games concepts, these have been branded as Wellbeing Games.
2011 - In Chapter 5, page 86 of "God Has Got Talent - Me", I indicated the title of a follow up book to this one to be – “Seven Steps to Discover Your Talents” I did not write this follow up book until 2013.
2012 - I attempted to launch the www.thetalentjournal.com but was stalled due to distractions of life.

2013 - I was inspired to compile a conference proceedings workbook. Then, I did not know that this was to prepare me for future projects.
2013 - The website grew and the next step was to produce a print and digital version of the website as a magazine. All efforts to do this did not materialise until 2015.

2015 - I attempted to launch "Kingdom Fortunes, Discover the Treasures in the Word", as a quiz workbook, but strategic issues with product delivery held back a full launch.
2015 - I was inspired to write on the Change Agenda - with a working title of "Change Journal"
2015 - I started research and background work to develop the "Change Journal" which was renamed "Change Digest". This was gradually expanded into a campaign to promote sustainable positive change for personal and nation building.
2015 - I was inspired to explore getting a theme song to support the campaign. I asked my wife and she was inspired with the lyrics for the Be the C.H.A.N.G.E music single.
2016 - Breakthrough made in resolving technical issues - www.pic2shine.com updated and launched.
2016 - Kingdom Fortunes expanded to include a TV Quiz Show www.kingdomfortunes.tv

Be the C.H.A.N.G.E you want to see in the World – Focus on Nigeria, Change Digest, Volume 1

2016 - Be the C.H.A.N.G.E Music Single launched.
2015 - The Talent Journal Magazine Issue 1 was launched as a print version. The digital version was launched in 2016.
2011 - Between 2008 and 2011, I wrote other books, "Health and Safety Bible, A Global Plan for A Global Problem", "Caught in the Crisis: Three Steps to A Fresh Start", "Judge Theo - The Final Judgment", "Wanted, A Child to Adopt", "Kingdom Fortunes, Discover the Treasures in the Word". Some of these were published together with "God Has Got Talent - Me" in 2011.
2013 - I was able to write and complete the follow up book to "God Has Got Talent - Me" in 5 weeks with a revised title of "How to Become Debt Free By Discovering your Talent – A Seven Steps Model" It was published as an ebook in 2013.
2014 - I was inspired to include books with Wellbeing Games. These are A - Z Handbook of Health and Wellbeing, Children Activity Workbook - A - Z Handbook of Health and Wellbeing.
2014 - More events were held under The Talent University brand in various locations. I published Unlock Your Potential, Make this Year Count, The Talent Journal Day Book Volume 1
Mid 2000’s – God used my circumstances to draw my attention back to writing. I summoned courage, rewrote and published Operating in Faith as Faith, Strategies for Effective Living; sales were not encouraging. Left writing on the drawing board again.
