A thread. My full product branding design for a unique gaming company. This is one of those rare projects that kept me glued to my workstation, working without a break. I really enjoyed this one.
One company locked 40% of global memory supply. Now it can't deliver.
Centralized AI infra is fragile by design.
Decentralized AI is antifragile by nature. Co-create. Co-own. Prove intelligence, don't hoard it. ⚡🔗

I emptied my account to pay $749 for an email marketing course.
The year was 2022.
And honestly? It was one of the scariest things I had ever done.
I was a student at the time.
No stable income.
Just random copywriting gigs.
But I had a burning desire to become the best email marketer ever, and a gut feeling that this course was the key.
When I found Rob Allen's (Of Blessed memory) course, something in me just knew. This was it.
But knowing something is right and being able to pay for it are two very different things when you're in Nigeria.
The payment kept failing.
Over and over again.
I was running out of time; the cut-off was approaching and I was panicking.
I reached out to Rob directly, almost embarrassed, and asked him to give me just a few more hours. He said yes.
I let out the biggest sigh of relief.
But I still had no way to pay.
So I did what Nigerians do when the system isn't built for us; I found a way anyway.
I called a friend who had a reliable Paypal,
sent him the equivalent in naira,
he converted it to USD,
and made the payment on my behalf.
It was midnight when the payment finally went through.
I remember sitting there in the dark, staring at my phone,
account empty,
heart full; thinking "I really just did that."
Before enrolling, I had gone to my mentor for validation.
At the time, $749 was a lot of money for
me and I needed all the validation I could get.
Well, he didn't hype me up. He just looked at me and asked one question:
"If you buy this course; how sure are you that you'll actually complete it?"
I didn't hesitate. "I will."
That was all he needed to hear.
I went through that course like my life depended on it.
I was likely the only Nigerian in it; sitting in a community of people who were as hungry as myself.
And that course changed everything.
Before it, I was just a copywriter; writing words for other people's visions with no real direction.
After that, I became an email marketer.
Someone who could walk into a brand's email account, build a strategy, and help them make real money from email.
That $749 has come back to me many times over.
So if you're sitting on the fence about investing in yourself right now;
whether it's a course, a mentor, a coaching program,
I want you to hear this:
The information that will change your career might be sitting behind a price tag that scares you.
It might mean emptying your account.
It might mean figuring out a payment workaround at midnight.
It might mean being the only person in the room who looks like you.
Do it anyway.
Because the version of you on the other side of that investment?
Is worth every single penny.

We once had a first lady that cared. A mother that hears the cry of her children. But we mocked her. We made memes of her love for us. Sometimes I agree that Nigerians deserves this government. 🥲

JOS IS BLEEDING Palm Sunday #PrayForJos
💔 Her only son… and she, a widow.
And yet, there is silence from leadership.
While the land mourns, politicians are busy preparing for another term in office.
Jos… oh Jos, land of my birth,
your soil is stained with the blood of the innocent.
May God arise and bring judgment upon the wicked who rejoice in your sorrow.
It's funny how fast we switched from the sweaty nights when you'd almost want to take all clothes off to the night when everyone wanna cover up 😂
We weren't prepared for this cold this morning. Guess who boiled water to bathe this morning
Happy Palm Sunday
