My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money.

3 things nobody told you:

1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.

No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.

Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus.

This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way.

It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing.

And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution.

That's how you make money.

2. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do.

Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate.

Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing.

Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things.

If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare.

If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it.

3. You don't need passion, you need energy.

I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion.

You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them.

Passion is usually a byproduct of energy.

When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win.

***

And remember: Nobody is coming to save you. It’s just you. There’s a power in that.

Go do the thing.

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.

What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.

This weekend, watch something truly inspiring!

Arise TV’s powerful feature on Aliko Dangote and the monumental challenges he overcame to build Africa’s first 650,000 barrel/day refinery — a $20+ billion marvel.

From cutting fuel prices by nearly 60%, exporting African-made fertilizer globally, to creating an African-founded, African-funded business backed by African banks — despite daily local and international hurdles.

A true challenger to every entrepreneur and dreamer.

“The strength and quality of every dream, vision, and material is tested by what it can endure, survive, and become. You only rise by overcoming barriers and stay rising by preparing to overcome more.”

Dangote’s story proves: Building and dreaming big in Africa is achievable — together. Many more will rise.

Please Watch!

@ToheebAyomide2 This may be a localised spot Nitrogen deficiency.

Observe leaves closely if you find brown to pale whitish spots you may be dealing with early ginger Blight infection.

Farming harder isn't a strategy. Farming smarter is. 🧵

The biggest trap in agriculture is letting manual labor drain your time and erode your profit margins.

Sustainable farming isn’t just good for the planet—it's designed to optimize your operations.

Here are 5 labour-saving sustainable hacks every busy farmer needs to deploy:

1️⃣ Mulching Films: Stop fighting weeds daily. Suppress weed growth and lock in moisture automatically.
2️⃣ Drip Irrigation: Move away from manual watering. Deliver hydration directly to the roots efficiently.
3️⃣ Compost Over Chemicals: Build resilient soil that cuts long-term input costs instead of chasing temporary chemical spikes.

Swipe through the blueprint below. 📉➡️📈

4️⃣ Cover Crops: Use nature to protect your acreage from erosion and naturally reduce weed pressure.
5️⃣ Simple Mechanical Assets: Utilizing specialized carts and seed planters speeds up transport and slashes physical fatigue.

The bottom line? Small, systemic shifts build high-yielding, resilient operations.

#HeiferInTheNews - In a recent @devex article by @DavidNjagi, attention is drawn to how farmers are turning to biofertilizers and other organic alternatives amid rising synthetic fertilizer costs. Sharing her perspective, @Heifer SVP Africa, @Safia_Boly emphasized that biofertilizers work best when combined with organic inputs, targeted use of mineral fertilizers, and better access to extension and financing: https://t.co/NqNcJLo6Bz

Ginger production In Nigeria have significantly dropped due to an outbreak of Rhizomes Wilting and rotting infections.

While this unprecedented outbreak have greatly hampered production, its good to note that Nigerian Ginger still remains the most sort after due to is high pungency and spicy taste.

Production have continued to pick up, as farmers better understand the disease and how to manage them
