Sustained wealth happens when you have a community thinking together. The key person who is visibly wealthy only achieves that wealth because others also have skin in the game and propel them for their benefit.

I am not engaging in "trillionaire worship" like others, but what was instructive about the SpaceX IPO was that the cafeteria workers and janitors at the same company also became wealthy. That is a bigger deal than anything else.

I hear so much talk about founders and investors in African entrepreneurship, but what nobody tells you is that the people who also became wealthy are the people who supported the entrepreneur and the enterprise with work.

Decades ago, I discovered that Dangote's depot operators, when he was selling commodities, were also Naira billionaires in their own right. They didn't need to cheat him to get wealthy, as most misguided people believe employees should do; they had an arrangement that made all of them wealthy.

Dangote took the financial risk while the depot chiefs took the operational risks. I see this same dynamic in many supply chains in Africa. My wife's aunt's 70th birthday in Accra last year was attended by all the key FMCG players and traders who worked together in an ecosystem that they all profited from.

Aliko became rich because his family learned about this model long before anyone else did. He benefited immensely from it, and he is passing this same ecosystem-building approach on to the next generation of his family.

This aspect of African entrepreneurship is rarely discussed. People want to hear grass-to-grace stories or miracles. True wealth in reality is built by communities and ecosystems that work in sync. I will be talking about it a lot more.

I survived surgery yesterday, and I am grateful for another chance to keep doing this.

Another fact about Igbo culture for you "emergency Igbo culture custodians".

Before colonialism and Christianity, there were no surnames. Children were known by their FIRST NAME and MOTHER'S NAME.

For example, if your name is Chibuike and Your mother's name is Mgborie, you were called Chibuike Nwa Mgborie.

Why was it so? Because in Igbo culture, the child is seen as belonging to their Mum.

Also, back then because most men were polygamous, it made more sense for children to be recognized by their mother's names father than their father's.

It was Christian missionaries who introduced the concept of surnames and then instead of retaining the mother's names as the surname, switched it to be the father's name because that was their own practice.

Even till date, people might refer to you as "Nwa (insert your mother's name)"

Surnames are a "new" and foreign concept for Igbo people.

If this upsets you, yet you claim to love your Mum, you are a fool indeed.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

[Arinze Odira @CaptainArinze]

I was added to a WhatsApp group for planning the burial of a big man who died. The first person donated 15 million Naira. The second person donated 13. The third person did 12. Six others have donated 10 million each.

As I was thinking about how to leave the group with the one cow I planned to donate because I don't understand what was going on again, someone donated ‘May his soul continue to rest in peace’.

The group has been silent since then.

Daydreaming does it for me. Every life I am living today daydreamed about it.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

So let me put it this way,

It is actually possible to calculatedly improve your cognitive abilities - to think, memorize, analyze better.

There are activities that help with attention, focus, processing speed, multitasking, visual spatial skills.

For example, If you want to widen your analytical abilities - you can train your brain to wire new neural networks.

When you learn how to do a task for the first time, whether as a child or adult - your brain builds a neural network which eventually becomes a routine. You can train your brain to break out of that neural network and branch out.

My favorite exercise here is switching what hand I use in brushing my teeth, as often as I can.

There are multiple exercises for different brain sections.

You can stimulate the DMN part of the brain which is responsible for idea generation, is creativity. Learn a new instrument, language, meditation, daydreaming.

The hippocampus is responsible for memory formation, new vocab, semantics. You can improve that region by playing navigation based games, aerobics, memory exercises.

This is an expansive discourse. Read more on it.

Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:

1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.

2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.

3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.

4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.

5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)

6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.

7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.

8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.

9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!
