We showed you the blueprint, we walked so you could run. Oil brothers they called us. But then you got carried away and went down a dark path.
We made you but now we must destroy you 🤣
Idk how yall were raised but if it’s just 2 people in the car, you’re not supposed to go to sleep in the passenger seat unless you’re switching off taking turns driving.
Clocked one BS with my Primary school in Nigeria on the train to work today. Why in world did i get flogged for coming late to school when it wasn’t in my power to actually walk or drive physically to school on time??!!

A moving man has interviews, tests, exams, courses, applications... and many more to meet his luck.
In between, there will be failures, rejections, and shortened expectations.
But he still has to keep moving.
There are certain conversations I would rather chew glass than give my opinion on.
Just as Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs suggests that human priorities evolve, I believe our conversations should evolve too.
There are conversations you should eventually outgrow, and audiences you should outgrow with them
Not every topic deserves your intellect, and not every audience deserves access to it.
Some conversations don’t challenge your mind; they diminish it.
I like what Eric Gugua is doing with Beyond Conversation.
He has used social media to ask young people better questions about identity, money, discipline, belief, power and purpose. Now he is moving those conversations from the timeline into physical rooms.
Port Harcourt hosted an edition last weekend. Owerri and Ghana are next.
That move matters. Valuable ideas should not live only as screenshots and bookmarked threads. People need rooms where they can listen, disagree, ask clumsy questions and meet others doing serious work.
I wish the young man well.
I also hope more young creators follow that path: build trust online, then create useful things people can experience together offline.
The timeline is good. A real room is better.
Man City hype. Been waiting for the bid for Enzo since the timeline went crazy yesterday about it. That Enzo brother ain't going if we don't get a replacement in some sort of capacity. Can't be bothered with this saga anymore #cfc
“It is in my experience that a lot of men go to greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
These are such powerful words.
