At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.

He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.

He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.

What a star!

The Chinese people are now using their hand to sell their cars directly to Nigerians. They are tired of the Nigerian dealers insane mark up. 😭

THIS!!!!! I will write a thread on it. As a guy, your older sibling's success is a greater indicator of yours than many people think. My uncle Peter grew up with us and was my big brother. He made sure I did well in school. When he died at age 19 in 1981, I was lost for years.

Guy: Oga, I am getting married in Enugu and sending you an invitation.

Me: Congratulations! The only thing is that I won't make it as I hardly travel to Nigeria.

Guy: Oga, I know but you can send your transport fare.

I am still wondering how to respond. We are acquaintances and not close friends. He did something for me once and I was grateful. I am in his debt but this is unexpected.

If I was not going to be there, why should I send transport fare? I would prefer to help in another way and in kind. Wedding registries need to become more popular.

This brings another issue of the obligations friends and family impose without considering that you may have not included them in your plans and budgets. Any contingency budgeting I do is for medical emergencies and not needless events.

I have a policy of not doing any funeral contributions anymore. They have also stopped adding me on WhatsApp groups for those things.

One friend made me the Chairman of his Catholic church’s harvest twice. I have never been to the church. I warned him the third time he tried it and stopped giving.

I prefer to give with joy rather than to give with a grudge. I have far too many family obligations already to do charity. My closest friends know and understand this. Some even sent me money recently when they heard that I had surgery and was at home. I didn't ask them for it but I was very grateful. They know I would do much more for them when I can.

“Nothing impoverishes a man faster than unbridled generosity” - Prof Osuide.

"If there is one lesson I have learned throughout my journey, it is that success is rarely determined by who starts first or even who starts strongest. More often, it is determined by who remains committed long enough to see their vision become reality."

Ray Kroc, the "founder" of McDonald's as we know it today, said this - "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

That quote alone inspired me to pursue entrepreneurship.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Success has no formula except for grace. I’ve seen all sorts of people succeed. I have seen hard-working people succeed, and I have seen lazy people succeed. I have seen the truthful win and liars triumph. Seen the poor get rich, and the rich get even richer without explanation.

Prof Osuide cured me of the "Joy Trap" with one sentence. "Nothing impoverishes a man faster than unbridled generosity." My father used to tell me that he was the most stingy when he had money. I didn't clock it until much later. We never had to support him after retirement.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

When you make a lot of money at once, two feelings come over you. Joy and relief.

Joy makes you want to meet all your cash needs and wants and share it with others who make you happy.

Relief makes you realize that the pressure of poverty is gone or lessened. Choose relief.

If a Court starts reading a ruling/and its findings are aligning with your arguments and submissions, be sure you have lost the case. Just wait for ‘However’ 😭

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Humans demand fairness only when they’re losing. When advantage is on their side, they call it merit. When it shifts away, they call it injustice. Human nature bends morality around incentive; the wise study incentives first and ethics second.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life.

I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5.

Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm.

Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation.

Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%.

Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

A few months ago, a lady made this post: “If you want to have a close relationship with God, the Catholic Church is not the best place for you.” She used to be a Catholic.

Yesterday, this same lady shared that after months of exploring other churches, she has finally found one that meets her spiritual longing. For that, I sincerely thank God with her. When it comes to matters of faith and religion, every person is free to choose, because there is a deep quest for God written in every human heart.

That said, what troubles me is turning a personal experience into a general conclusion. I am a Catholic, not simply because I was born into it, but because I have chosen to live it and the Catholic Church has profoundly deepened my relationship with God.

Through the Holy Mass, where Christ gives Himself to us in Word and Sacrament; through the Blessed Sacrament, where we encounter Jesus truly present; through the Sacrament of Reconciliation where I encounter the mercy of God; through the Scriptures, prayers, and the rich spiritual tradition of the Church, many of us grow daily in intimacy with God.

The lady's problem (like many others) is that she simply inherited the Catholic faith from her parents without making efforts to own it. It is not enough to be born Catholic; one must make the effort to become Catholic. When that effort is made, the Church is not an obstacle to encountering God - it is one of the deepest schools of communion with Him.

Funny that I wrote a thread about superficial Nigerian friendships without seeing the tweet about envy in friendship that sparked another conversation.

Two rules I live by -

1. Comparison is the thief of joy.

2. Anything a mortal has achieved can also be done or surpassed by another mortal if they plan properly and focus.

Envy is such a wasteful, unproductive emotion, yet some people believe it spurs them to achieve more. The result is always emptiness, and there is always one more person to envy and chase. It is difficult to convince people that this is the case until they have lived it or lived with someone who has.

I opted out of a banking career for this reason, after seeing what it did to someone very close to me. All he saw was a Mercedes-Benz car owned by another banker who wasn't as educated as he was, and it almost led to destruction in 10 years. He achieved everything, yet lost everything. Family, friends, integrity, and he had to restart all over. I learned a lesson from that and decided on a career that I loved and could make other parts of my life complete.

The second part on surpassing achievement is a lesson I learned from another banker named Deji. He always doubled any targets he was given, as he told us that he never chased targets but surpassed them. He made us understand that limitations are all in our minds.

I was once looking for 5 million Naira from a real estate deal and was cheated out of it by a former friend. I was bitter at first, thinking it would change my life, but that same year I started using the same amount to pay salaries each month, and my life didn't change much.

Happiness doesn't come from without but comes from within. If you can't be happy with little, you can never be happy with a lot.

Finally, blocking out people who distract you by showing off isn't a bad thing if it helps you focus. Whining about it is the problem. It means that there are unresolved issues. Fix up and focus. You can always do so much better.
