Sometimes, God makes sure your blessings don’t come from certain quarters, that way you don’t end up feeling indebted to the wrong people. That in itself is a blessing, even though it’s hard to see it at the beginning.
In the end, smart people like Diddy always miss it where they think the world revolves around them. Because for all his money, his artists were always broke, to the point the artist who proved Bad Boy records as a concept—Craig Mack—had to be begging dude for money. He brings out a stack and then hands that unfortunate dude a dollar note.
He ends up in a world where despite building such a mass of social capital and wealth, he didn't have enough loyalists looking to stand with him. Because he was a user of people. An evil man who knew to keep allies dependent on him. The ultimate proof of that is the documentary itself. Will address that in a short tweet, so folks who don't read get to read and learn.
"Person wey go bless you no go stress you". Cut yourself away from your users who see you as nothing but a tool. You will thrive without them. Draw the line, step over it and get going.
Bob Dee - Uncle Dele Momodu - attended his friend’s inauguration and 2 days later, he is out of the country to mind the business that pays him.
Whether your friend becomes governor or president or whatever other position, except they ask or call for your help, let them be. Don’t go hanging around and hoping they’d bless or help you.
Those that’d bless you don’t need to wake up to you every other morning. And those that won’t, even if you greet them three times a day for 8 years, you will still be on your own.
Mind your business. That’s the only thing within your control!
