Putting this out here in faith, not for me but for someone in need.
If you need your hair done braiding or locks, I have someone to do it for you.
Even if it's home service and the pricing is very fair.
Location, Abuja. Kindly retweet this if it comes across your TL.
For my first five years in corporate America I had no promotion.
Then in my next five, I had three.
Same me. Same company. Different results.
What changed? 👇
Dear Nigerians, I want to embark on crowdfunding for nursing students who need ₦209,000 for the payment of her school fees. I understand the economy is bad, but I don't see this as any form of entitlement to ask you for help. However, if you are in a position to help and do more, please don't hesitate. She couldn't get NELFUND because her application was rejected, and nothing is coming from home. That was the first question I asked her.
I am more moved to go this route because the ₦209,000 is her full fee for this academic session. This is the second semester, and she has not paid even half of her fees.
In my calculations, if we can get a minimum of ₦1,000 from 209 people, the money will be complete in no time. Please, we do not see this as any form of entitlement to obtain money from you, but we beseech you to help if you can.
You can also donate as much as you can if you have it. God bless us all!

I know today is Monday and you assume it's going to suck, but according to statistics:
There will be over 26,000 babies born across Nigeria today. Over 10 million mobile money transactions will happen. At least 375 new businesses will be registered with CAC today, and hundreds of students will graduate with first-class degrees from universities across the country.
A young entrepreneur will make their first ₦100,000. Someone will get their visa approval, another person will land their dream job. Market women will close sales that feed entire families. Students will understand that difficult concept they've been struggling with.
In the U.S. 8,000 people will get promotions or raises at work, and 15,000 people will experience intimacy for the first time.
So again, I know today is Monday and you assume it's going to suck, but just smile because according to statistics, it should actually be a really nice day.
Okay. So here's some context. Every time people say, "An LLM could never do X", that X is precisely what I like to try. I've tried it with everything from healthcare (some psycho-first aid) to creative work.
The consensus has been right sometimes, but they've been mostly wrong for me.
This was my finance experiment, and this is how it went:
1. First, I'm not that great with finance/markets and all that. I almost always know what's popping late. I just follow @Ssaasquatch to try to keep up.
2. I want to understand it, so I just created a learning budget and put it in the stock market. Which leads me to the thesis part.
Which now leads me to my core thesis:
3. I have a decent grasp of 1st-principles thinking and 2nd/higher-order effects, and that helped with the next part.
The biggest thing moving US markets in June last year, as I understood it, was AI. But the obvious trades were the Nvidias. Econs 101 says the higher the demand, the higher the price. Which means they were already relatively expensive.
4. So my thesis was built less around, “What AI stocks should I buy?” and more towards;
“What are the less obvious sectors likely to benefit from the second-order effects of the AI boom?”
I didn't know all the companies to look at, but @ChatGPTapp was more informed. We started with companies exposed to memory, chip infra, physical buildouts, etc. It's the companies that need to work for an AI company to succeed.
5. Then we sorted through the companies on that list that were relatively cheap vs expensive.
6. I kept working this angle for hours (over a few days), until @ChatGPTapp refused to fold on three stocks (My LLMs are pretty stubborn and unyielding that sometimes, it's actually exhausting).
7. The three stocks, in order of hill-to-die-on-ness, were Micron, Marvell, and Fluence. By June 30 2025, I bought them.
8. I learned more about the companies (and the sector) by simply buying them. And by December, it looked like Fluence was in the lead, with Micron second, and Marvell last. I exited the Marvell and Fluence positions in December (I use am flex 🙏🏾)
9. But today, it looks like the order from June 2025 currently tracks:
Micron (MU) +430.8%
Marvell (MRVL) +122.0%
Fluence Energy (FLNC) +72.9%
Of course, it might change again in a few months.
10. Which makes me really think: how are finance bros using these LLMs today? Interesting times.
When I was in university, my roommate used to wake up every morning at 5am and leave the hostel dressed like she was going to class.
We all thought she had a rich uncle sponsoring her because she always had food, clean clothes, and never borrowed money.
One day I followed her out of curiosity.
Turns out she was working at a bakery before lectures started every morning. She hid it because she didn’t want people mocking her.
Fast forward to graduation day, while most of us were searching for jobs, she already had enough savings to open a small food spot.
Today she owns three restaurants.
That experience taught me something:
Never laugh at humble beginnings. Some people are sacrificing in silence while building the life everyone will admire later.
@Donclever1465@jon_d_doe Why are people acting like Mr perfect under this tweet. He dropped a learning point to emphasize the lesson.
It's a different thing if he said it's regular. I've taken my learning point as a single man.
