Lessons from @elonmusk and Mark Zuckerberg and Napoleon:
“Elon has demonstrated that if you have a small, incredibly cracked, highly technical team, that's very flat, you can accomplish a lot very quickly.”
“Mark has internalized that failure doesn't matter. It just matters when you win, how big you win.”
“That concept enables Mark to operate without fear because he’s just very comfortable taking lots of risk.”
“Mark has this great quote that says: The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”
“In the book The Mind of Napoleon, Napoleon repeats that hesitation is fatal. Napoleon says before you engage in a course of action you should deliberate thoroughly. He'd study from every angle to make sure he's making the right decision. But once he’s sure he’s on the right path, he goes all in. I feel there's an echo with the way Mark operates. Once Mark knows what he wants to do, he empties the clip.”

Covenant university is quietly owns half the fintech ecosystem while Babcock is handling the other half. Their alumni networking is doing more real work than most public university curricula in Nigeria.
Meanwhile our Northern universities are they seem more focused on producing solid employees and government staffs. It is well.
Even the naturally ahead ABU their top products remain politicians and pastors, again it also well.
No wonder...
Some northern universities still treat entrepreneurship courses like the most useless subject in the entire semester pack or just something for students to just pass and forget.
While OAU, Covenant and Babcock are busy programming students to hate the idea of collecting salary forever, some Northern schools are still teaching Entrepreneurship in the same way they teach GNS motors by forcing it, grade it, and move on 😉😅
