I posted my mum's picture on Whatsapp and the comments kept me hooked.๐
I'll do a mini dump about it when I get the strength but for now, happy birthday myyy Mummyyy!โค๏ธ
Say a word of prayer for her.๐
Honored to serve as a judge at the South South U-Report Debate. The level of critical thinking, data use, and articulation from the debaters was impressive. The future of advocacy is in capable hands.
Thank you for the honour and opportunity. @Randoufdee
Have you noticed that the people at the very top of every industry in this world knew each other from way back?
Thatโs because they all had a single unfair advantage that most people ignore.
Think about this:
In 2023, the founder of Altschool said that he noticed that 80% of the people dominating the tech space in Nigeria at the time were people hanging around CChub circa 2011-2013.
In 2023 as well, tech cabal released an article called the paystack mafia. It was an article outlining several tech founders doing incredible things, raising funds and building. They were all at the company around the same time.
If you read up the PayPal mafia, you see the exact same pattern. How that the founders of YouTube, LinkedIn, Tesla, Palantir, Space X were all together at some point.
Letโs leave tech.
Coscharis. Ifeanyi Ubah. Ibeto. Inosson.
All billionaires in Nigeria. They all come from the same community. Nnewi.
They all started the same - trading spare parts.
The money used to settle coscharis from his apprenticeship was given to him by Okeiyi ( Chisco ) who was serving at the same time.
I promise you:
An unfair advantage that will remain the differentiating factor for the top 1% forever is something called community.
I donโt know how to explain it but something magical happens when people of like minds and similar vision come together in a confined space. No matter how small they start.
Itโs like energy is coming together and something has to emerge as a result. It canโt be result-less.
The reason youโre already thinking โhow do I get into communities that will help me grow?โ Is because youโre not sincere with your desires.
Youโre looking for already-made groups. They wonโt accept you into their circle.
I wonโt as well. I donโt trust you.
Start where you are. One. Two. Three friends that are simply hungry pursuing diverse dreams bound by a genuine desire to change their livesโฆyou will shock yourself in a few years.
Rooting for you. Like mad.

Every TikTok video is saying, "Nigerians aren't angry enough"
That's a lieeeeeeee.๐ญ What do you want us to do? Honestly, what do you think we can do?
I'm even more angry because there's really little to nothing we can do about the current realities.
Came across this event that's happening on two different days, at Abuja and Lagos.
This would ultimately impact my career journey but guess who is based in Ondo State?๐
Hi Onion Cosiety, finished as the first runner up at my Uniโs talent hunt show.
