Today, I celebrate 44 years of grace, growth, and undeniable strength.
I am grateful for the journey so far the lessons, the victories, the challenges that shaped me, and the blessings that continue to unfold. At 44, I stand stronger, wiser, and more focused on my purpose.
God will put you back together right in front of people that broke you. ❤
They laughed when you fell, mocked your silence, and tried to dim your light. But what they didn't know is that God was just preparing for your comeback.
Every tear, every closed door, every rejection.
May Nigeria Happen To Me And Keep Happening To Me As Long As I Live!
When bad things happen, enemies of this country are quick to say that 'Nigeria has happened' to them. But they take the good that occurs to them in Nigeria personally, without attributing it to our great nation.
Good and bad are as universal as day and night and are part of the ying yang of human existence.
Please fact-check me: Every year in America, 20,000 people are murdered. That is more than twice the murder rate in Nigeria. Have you ever heard Americans badmouthing their country as a result of this?
This is Earth. This is not heaven!
Earth is an imperfect place, which is why unpleasant things can sometimes happen.
600,000 Nigerians have gotten student loans from the Federal Government to attend universities under Tinubu. Is that not also Nigeria happening to Nigerians positively?
Food prices have dropped nationwide. In 1975, inflation was above 40%. Today, it is 20.12%, a 1.76% drop from July's 21.88%. How many countries on Earth today are moving inflation behind? Look at Argentina, which Peter Obi praised. Today, their economy is "in shambles," to borrow from Davido!
The electricity situation has vastly improved, and Nigeria broke its power generation record with a peak generation of 5,801.84MW and maximum daily energy output of 128,370.75 megawatt-hours (MWh), the highest ever attained in the history of the electricity industry in Nigeria. Is that not Nigeria happening?
Nigeria Is now a net exporter of Petrol. Please fact-check me: When President Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, Nigeria was Africa's largest petrol importer. Today, South Africa is Africa's largest fuel importer. Nigeria's fuel imports have drastically reduced. Not only that, according to the International Energy Agency, Nigeria has now emerged as the largest exporter of refined petroleum products in West Africa. This has seen fuel prices drop. Only three civilian governments have achieved that. Yar'adua, Jonathan and now Tinubu. That is also Nigeria happening to us!
And our economy expanded by $67 billion in just two years, moving Nigeria's GDP from a ₦269.29 trillion economy on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.
That expansion is why, if you give me the equivalent of $100, I will go into a Nigerian market and buy more goods and services than I could get in almost any other country. $100 in Nigeria will buy you more than $100 in Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, Ethiopia or South Africa.
Nigeria is a great country, but it is not perfect because perfection is divine. There is no ideal country on Earth.
We can choose to look at the negatives, but there are many positive things happening in Nigeria that we refuse to project because we love bad news!

Good Morning Everyone, New Month. Same mission.
This month serves as a reminder not to chase people. It's a month for you to chase your purpose.
✔️ Cut the excuses.
✔️ Level up your discipline.
✔️ Protect your energy.
✔️ Move in silence.
✔️ Build like your name depends on it.
First, the IMF debt, now Sukuk debts, and you say President Tinubu is not doing well? No wonder your life is not appreciating. You refuse to appreciate what ought to be appreciated, and now appreciation is afraid of visiting you!
#TableShaker
No matter how brilliant you, no matter how useful your ideas, some people will still hate you.
You are not called or sent to everyone.
Your message is not for everyone.
You cannot please everyone.
Trying to please everyone will make you subservient to them.

Don't be afraid to be different, because everyone in this world is already unique.
While people chase the crowd, we stand out with our own path. We focus on ourselves, thinking and doing what we want, because that is our path to a successful life.
