I don’t want to become a millionaire to buy a bigger house or a better car.

I want to make more money because there are things I want to give the people I love.

1. Take my mum to Thailand.
She flew on a plane for the first time at 70 and has never travelled outside Spain. I want to give her the experience of travelling around Southeast Asia, especially with her daughter.

2. Buy my dad and his wife a simple house near the beach.
That was their only dream for retirement. A small place with white curtains, an ocean view and somewhere they can enjoy their life together.

3. Take my boyfriend diving in the Galápagos.
It’s one of our biggest dreams as divers. I know he could save up and pay for it himself, but being able to experience it together, on my dime, would mean so much to me.

He’s made me dinner while I was busy building my apps.
He’s supported me through the months when I had zero income.
He’s been there through the worst parts of building this business.

There’s something beautiful about being able to share what you build with the people who took care of you.

That’s what more revenue means to me.

Not luxury.

Being able to give something back to the people who gave me everything.

Good morning Ben🤗

Some of us started with BIG dreams, but the system showed us shege.

I studied French (first degree) because I wanted to build a career in an international organisation. During NYSC, I got the opportunity to serve at the ECOWAS Parliament.

To me, that was huge. I served with my whole heart.

I respected people. I worked hard. I built relationships. My direct boss liked my work, and I started imagining that after NYSC, I could return as an ad hoc staff and eventually build my career there.

I had a woman in leadership I looked up to. I thought, “I want to become like her one day.”

When NYSC ended, I applied for every opening I saw at ECOWAS. Rejection after rejection.

One day, my boss told me something, She said she would have liked to help me get into ECOWAS, but she did not think I was “strong enough” for the politics of the organisation.

And she was right, the politics in ECOWAS was real. Most of the NYSC members that got adhoc staff roles either slept with a director or paid millions.

I later worked as a personal assistant to a contract staff member at ECOWAS. I was still applying. Still trying. Still hoping.

But my own boss started asking me for a relationship. I said no, and he fired me.

That experience shattered something in me. I started asking myself:

“How do you keep dreaming when the system keeps telling you that there's no place for you here?”

Some of us WERE dreaming very big.

I did not become a Virtual Assistant because it was my childhood dream.

I learned VA skills because I needed to survive.

I had worked as an Executive Assistant (onsite) for years, earning ₦80k–₦90k while dealing with toxic environments and bosses.

Then I got my first VA client who paid me more than ₦100k.

That changed something for me.

For the first time, I could see a clearer relationship between the value I provided and what I earned.

Sometimes people changed direction because they needed to survive.

And honestly, I am only now beginning to go back to some of the dreams I had before life taught me to think smaller.

Maybe the problem was never that we lacked ambition.

Maybe some of us simply needed an environment where ambition had room to breathe.

I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing

Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location

But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲

And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings

I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥

Two months ago in my community, I wanted to hire a social media intern for 2 months.

The person is not handling any social media account. No posting. No message handling. No content calendar. No nothing. Just make two short videos a week. That's all. No meetings even.

300k naira for everything
I put out the notice In my community and just one dude applied. 99% of all the applications were women

I decided to hire another intern and even told the programs manager to look for a guy this time so as to balance it. We didn't see. No dude applied. Another woman got it

I don't know
But this is not the first time

Every job opening I put out, it's never been more men applying. It's always the women and one thing, they do stellar work when employed.

I may get dragged by some "men" for this

Also I think it has to do with the fact that the idols of men changed

Back then,
Most men had idols who were just a man down the street with a stable job, house and car or a man in church that was cool and comfortable

These days
Social media has pushed too many faulty idols down the throats of young men and they want to be Logan, Tate, or one Instagram bro flexing millions

Not saying that's bad

But the effect is that, men are becoming more uninterested in routine work. They want something that is going to make them hit big

Africa has everything it needs to lead the circular fashion conversation: craftsmanship, creativity, and a culture of repair.

Excited to explore what that future looks like at Africa Fashion Week London as part of the Creative Industry Panel.

This so much shows how people have no sense of propriety and opinion becomes fluid when money and a stupendous amount of it are involved. Material success creates this halo effect where people infer wisdom or moral approval from financial outcomes.

The values you hold and second-order effect of your actions mean nothing to Nigerians provided you can demonstrate a lavish lifestyle. And what’s crazy is that we call it grace.

Our idea of grace is whoever ends up having money or fame or both and everything questionable be overlooked. Nigerians associating Grace with money is very problematic for me because I know the church is complicit.

Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo

This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you.

Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity.

You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation.

For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter.

It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes.

People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes.

Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you.

Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain.

If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest.

We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs.

It will not be well with you.

The 3 wise men have landed.

Thank God for a safe journey.

We went to Rome and we conquered.

They are the world’s best maths team.

The 3 Wise Men from the East.

They came to Rome and conquered.

Nigeria will be great again once we declare a state of emergency in education.

Today is D-day.

Our boys are now at the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma for the Grand Finale of the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy.

I’m optimistic about their victory.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

In April 2026, these 3 girls - Chimfumnanya Stephanie Aghaduno, Abasiofon Otobong Sampson, and Damaris Oluwasemilore Oyerinde - represented Nigeria at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) in Bordeaux, France.

66 countries participated, but unfortunately, Huaijin Lou from China won the gold prize. Our girls will try again next year and this time bring home the gold.

It was fully funded by ex-Olympiads from Special Maths Academy with zero support from the government.

Education needs to regain its place in our society.

[Bolutife to the World 🌎 @bolutifeawakan]

You’ve probably heard, I graduated from Future London Academy’s Executive Program for Design Leaders on friday. The design MBA challenged everything I thought I knew.

Before this, I thought a mainstream MBA was all I needed to fuel this insane amount of curiosity I daily brewed on what it meant to be a business-minded designer but after doing it, I realized it wasn’t. I could say beyond a doubt that this was all I needed to move to the next phase of my career.

From the first day I stepped into the programme in London, which also happened to be my first time out of Nigeria, I knew I had met a new family. A family of teachers, delegates and staff who opened up their arms to me and never got tired of my questions 😀.

The learnings, friends, family and experiences will stay with me forever. It felt like I had travelled to all 18 countries represented in my cohort, experiencing their world through their lenses. I wish I could go into all the stories, but not today 🫣.

Thank you Ekaterina Solomeina, DLX Mohammed Saiful Hussain, DLX for this incredible and thoughtful design of the programme and for connecting me with a new international family. The future is much clearer, with a new level of audacity unlocked in me along with a new level of responsibility for being an internationally recognized design leader.

I guess we could lose the ‘of London’ and embrace:
Bolutife to the World 🚀
Bolutife shooting for the stars 🌠
Bolutife changing the world 🌎

A very big thank you to all my friends, community, and family who supported me with all they’ve got. This is a win for us all.

Introducing, Bolutife Awakan, DLX
