Been getting a lot of real estate briefs lately and the varying degrees of Wahala and shege that people go through has led me to write (and possibly make videos later) about how to demystify and avoid them…

“If money has just landed, you just closed your deal, you haven’t hired your team..don’t rush..

Maybe you thought you needed a team of designers..slow it down..
What is the output I need?
I need designs. Do I need a designer?

If you have those conversations, you’ll still get people in, but you’ll set their expectations..”

Preston speaks on the importance of lean operations to maximise resources needed to grow a company as a founder.

I stumbled on this VIDEO of the House of Reps Committee on the Capital Market interrogating Mrs Dame Atunma Oteh, the then Director-General of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It refreshed my memory of how Nigeria’s criminal political class conspires to bring down competent and upright office holders who fail or refuse to do their bidding.

In 2012, Mrs Arunma was summoned by the House Committee for refusing to pay a bribe of N5 million to the Committee Chairman, Herman Hembe, to fund a public hearing. The Committee proceeded to recommend her removal, accusing her of mismanaging agency funds.

They further connived with some Board members and senior staff of the SEC to pressure the Presidency to bend to their demand to send Mrs Arunma on compulsory leave and audit her activities as the SEC Director-General, particularly the “Project 50” event held in December 2011.

Expectedly, the probe validated Mrs Arunma’s integrity and commitment to national interest, and brought shame to the House Committee. It took the insistence of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the approval of President Jonathan for her to be reinstated.

After her office expired in 2015, Mrs Arunma got immediate international engagements, from people who genuinely valued her worth. Nigeria lost her and her wealth of knowledge and experience.

Currently, she holds three standout international posts, amongst many. One, as an Executive in Residence at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Two, an Academic Scholar at St. Antony’s College, Oxford. Three, the Chairperson of the Royal African Society.

This is a reminder of how corrupt politicians in Nigeria conspire to frustrate and chase away competent and honourable public and civil servants who refuse to bend to their criminal will and interest.✍️

Venture Capital is adventure capital. You send 10 ships out and expect some to never come back. Private Equity says every ship comes back with gold.

Most African founders raised the wrong one for the business they were actually building. Which game are you playing?

TRUE LIFE STORY

The former CP of police for Lagos, Mohammed Abubakar while he was CP was accidentally arrested by Police while driving about alone on the morning.

I kid you not.

The DPO had to abscond when the constables brought him to the station to identify himself and write statement.

I like how so many Africans have lately discovered that the U.S. isn’t the “saner clime” they once thought it was.
