@x_shipwChi @Apple @Havyn_ng Honestly, I would say you should go through the route of PWA while awaiting iOS approval. This delays isn’t good for business whatsoever.

Well

The base of my ideology is value before reward. Apparently, that has been taunting me. The reality of seeing everything I believed in all my life to be false is crazzzzy.

You don’t have the same brain 🧠 as Elon he says. I was furious and disturbed all at once, fighting my default Yoruba believe “Ori kan ni gbogbawa gbewaye” meaning we all have the same head.

How come one head is thinking and building products that changes how to live and the other greatest quest is survival? The brain 🧠 capacity he says.

Very curious I asked, what can be done? How can I improve mine? His response was …

Can we build a country and satisfy the masses at the same time?

Couple of weeks ago, I made a decision to start using AI to solve all the bottlenecks we are facing at @VendoorHQ. That birth a complete in-house software we now use today for order extraction, dispatching, inventory management and COD remittance & reporting. All these are solutions built to cater specifically for our e-commerce clients.

Yesterday, I took this a step further to build an AI agent to learn about our content strategies over the months to be able to think like our social media marketers. The results I got were shocking. I leave room for human modification, but from what I have seen so far, that will be very little.

All together, all this solutions has saved the company hundreds of hours.

If you do it frequently, automate it.

@TosinOlugbenga If it’s for higher pay, and the person desires it, then that person need to work on his/herself. It means that the company did not see a commensurate value in him/her to pay that amount.

But if the person is okay with the current pay, no issues.

I needed this 😢

Social media has brought about multiple opinions and views, it has given those who ideally shouldn’t be speaking mic to talk.

And the devastating consequences are what we are seeing today; Young people with money but low IQ, lack of depth.

[Emmanuel Ade @OfficialKingEA]

@x_shipwChi It’s expected 😂 congratulations 🍾

[Emmanuel Ade @OfficialKingEA]

@TosinOlugbenga Oh, yes!

In my language (Yoruba) we usually say, “if your Yam is ready for harvest, do it discreetly.”

Friendship is not a guaranteed pass for cofounding a business. Entering into a business with something is like a marriage, you don't want to choose wrong; it will cost you your peace and resources.

[Emmanuel Ade @OfficialKingEA]

I stepped down as a director in a company I started with my friend last year after acquiring properties worth 100m+ due to this friendship thing.

Is it painful? Yes! but I would rather lose now when too much has not been committed than lose the business and him years to come.

Don’t make your best friend your co-founder.
Co-founder disputes are one of the top reasons startups die.
And most of them start with, “But we’ve been friends for years…”

Friendship is not a qualification.
Skill is.
I see founders give co-founder titles to friends who don’t have the required competence, just because.

That’s not loyalty.
That’s emotional decision-making.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve built businesses with three co-founders.
Today, they’re my brothers.
But we didn’t start as “best friends.”
We started with complementary skills and aligned ambition.

Don’t choose someone you can’t disagree with.
Because you will disagree.
A lot.
Strategy. Hiring. Equity. Money. Vision.
The key isn’t avoiding disagreement.
It’s agreeing that disagreement will not break the company.

If you succeed, everything will try to come between you:
Ego. Employees. Investors. Journalists. Even family.
Only a solid foundation skills alignment, shared values, and trust will hold.

In 2016, I landed after hours with no network.
Immediately, I got a call from the office of the President complaining about an article Techpoint had published.
I was on my way to Aso Rock (Nigeria’s White House).
I hadn’t even seen the article.
But I defended it confidently.

Why?
Because I knew it had passed through my co-founder.
And he would never approve what wasn’t true.
I trusted him completely.
And I was right.

Choose a co-founder based on:
• Complementary skills • Emotional maturity • Conflict resilience • Signed agreements • Deep trust
Your strength should cover their weakness. Their strength should cover yours.

And sign a co-founder agreement. Always.

Choosing a co-founder is not casual.
It’s one of the most important decisions of your life.
It can build empires.
Or destroy everything.
Choose wisely.

@TosinOlugbenga Wow indeed😂

There are 101 reasons why your business won’t grow in this country.

Next time you see someone getting it right in business, don’t call it luck. It’s ruthlessness, insane risk and mad audacity.
