I’m Bicky. Frontend dev.
For years people came to me for advice — on life, relationships, business. One friend said: “Monetize this.”
So here I am. Writing on mindset, discipline & the long road.
Stay if you’re building something quietly.

@48LawsofPowerr Just so you know, It’s transferred. Someone always gives it up for you to have it. The question is whether they did it willingly.

[Oba of Russia 🇳🇬🇷🇺✈️ @Bickyisreal]

@48LawsofPowerr Wrong question. Power is recognized. You can earn it and nobody acknowledges it. You can seize it and nobody respects it. The real move is making people believe it was always yours.

Subscriptions don’t migrate themselves. The card data copy has to go through Stripe’s migrations team. That part alone can take days — plan around it.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Anythings NOT to forget when doing Stripe migration to new account?

[Oba of Russia 🇳🇬🇷🇺✈️ @Bickyisreal]

Things that bite people:
•PAN copy requires Stripe’s team — not self-serve by default
•Webhook endpoints all need updating
•Subscription IDs change — any hardcoded references break
•API keys obviously, but also test mode keys in staging
•Expired cards in the copied data can trigger Card Account Updater fees on the new account

@StevenBartlett The AI point is the one nobody wants to sit with. If the value of labour keeps shrinking, better wages and more ownership both become harder to argue for. What’s the plan when the floor drops?

[Oba of Russia 🇳🇬🇷🇺✈️ @Bickyisreal]

Being present at my kid’s first steps costs nothing and means everything. That one hit different.
I’d add one more — you can say no without fear. No to the wrong job, the wrong people, the wrong version of yourself and the hardest part? Society spent years convincing us none of this counts unless there’s a number attached to it.
My daughter doesn’t need my money. She needs my time. That’s the wealth I’m building.

And the Stripe analogy is perfect. Failed payments silently killing revenue = failed AI calls silently breaking user experience. The difference is most devs don’t notice broken AI calls the way finance teams notice failed payments. AI Gateway making that visible changes the conversation.

Wild stat. What’s even more interesting is that 3.5% of those requests only succeed because of fallback routing — the initial provider failed. That’s not just infrastructure, that’s reliability as a feature. For anyone building with AI at scale, “zero markup + automatic recovery” is a hard combo to beat.

@ebukannaemeka_ @jon_d_doe And also , If the poor marry the poor and the rich marry the rich, who exactly is allowed to upgrade the family WhatsApp group from ‘struggling’ to ‘doing well’ brother ?😂

[Oba of Russia 🇳🇬🇷🇺✈️ @Bickyisreal]

By that logic, poor people should only marry poor people forever. So when exactly does the family tree get a chance to level up?

[Uncle EBUKA🔱 @ebukannaemeka_]

@jon_d_doe Exactly. Most of them don't know they've already set themselves up for failure. Let the poor marry themselves.

Nigeria is bleeding.
People are being kidnapped daily, innocent lives are being lost, families are crying for help, and now even educators are being slaughtered. Yet politicians are busy with campaigns, rallies, and primary elections like everything is normal.

[Oba of Russia 🇳🇬🇷🇺✈️ @Bickyisreal]

Nigeria doesn’t just need elections. Nigeria needs safety, accountability, and leaders who act before another family is destroyed. 🇳🇬💔

@RealDonaldDoo This is the basic truth

[Aproko Doctor Global @aproko_doctor]

What happened at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital yesterday is a national disgrace and must not be treated lightly!

Calling on @officialEFCC to promote lawful conduct; to publicly call the officers involved in the act to order, @Fmohnigeria @nighealthwatch to protect our healthcare system, and the presidency @NGRPresident and @NGRSenate to look into this, so this doesn’t happen to any healthcare worker again.

@UN @WHO @WHONigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria

Justice must prevail. Say NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. Enough is Enough.

[Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN @oagbakoba]

Most Nigerians are unaware that the country has a vital financial institution known as the Federation Account. Created under Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution, this account is designed to collect and store every kobo of revenue generated by the federal government. From there, these funds are shared among federal, state, and local governments.

In essence, the Federation Account serves as the financial heartbeat of our nation. However, it is facing severe challenges.

Consider these striking figures:
- In 2025, a staggering ₦14.94 trillion - almost 40% of the federation's total revenues - was deducted before reaching the Federation Account.
- The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) withheld ₦500 billion of the ₦1.1 trillion that was due in 2024.
- A current FAAC investigation is delving into allegations of $42.37 billion in under-remittances that occurred between 2011 and 2017.
- Debt service accounted for an alarming 69% of federal revenue last year, significantly exceeding the IMF's recommended safe benchmark of 30-40%.
- Our total public debt has now ballooned to ₦159.27 trillion.

In essence, we are borrowing against funds that we have already earned because that revenue never reaches the Federation Account.

To address this urgent situation, I have crafted a policy reform proposal for the President @officialABAT to enhance Executive Order 9. This step is crucial for ensuring the financial integrity of our federation.

Let’s engage in meaningful dialogue about how we can restore the heartbeat of our nation’s finances. Watch the full video to explore this pressing issue further.
