What exactly is TECNO’s problem?

Wisdom is knowing when advice is protection… and when it’s limitation.

The safest way to travel is by plane. Do you know why?

Because they crash.

A few months ago, I learned a concept called Black Box Thinking which is a system that defines how entire industries respond to failure.

In aviation, when a plane crashes, they don't just look for who to blame.

They find a device called a Black Box, retrieve the data, and then ask what went wrong with the system.

And there is a reason for this.

To explain this, there is a famous story of a crash involving an Asian airline years ago.

When investigators listened to the recording from the black box, they found the engine didn't just fail on its own, the junior pilot actually noticed a mistake.

But because of a cultural hierarchy in Asia that demanded absolute respect for elders, he didn't question his senior pilot.

Instead, he hinted and spoke softly and the plane crashed.

That tragedy changed aviation safety forever.
It moved the focus from "Who made the mistake?" to "Why did the system allow this mistake?"

As we stand on the 29th of December, looking back at 2025, I want you to adopt this strategy of Black Box Thinking.

Most of us look at our failures this year and feel shame.

We hide the crash, and blame the economy, government, or something that does not exist.

But Black Box thinking demands a harder question: "How did I contribute to this problem?"

Did I stay silent when I should have spoken up?

Did I rely on motivation instead of a system?

Did I ignore the data because of my ego?

Don't bury your failures of 2025.

Open the box and analyze it.

Because that is the only way to fly safer in 2026.

One time I had planned with my friend to meet around 5pm so we could practice for her interview the next day. Somehow, I slept off at just about 4pm and I woke up around 9pm to several missed calls. I was so upset with myself and I tried to call her back, but I knew she would

I watched Zootopia 2 with my kids yesterday.

While they were cheering for the bunny and the snake, I was mesmerized by the urban planning.

In the movie, the mice have tiny vehicles. The giraffes have massive kiosks. The hippos have water channels.

They don’t build "One Size Fits All." They build "Right-Sized Infrastructure."

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

In my company, we are failing at this. We are committing the sin of Hardware Equity.

We give the same $3,000 MacBook Pro M3 to our Senior AI Engineer (The Elephant) as we do to the Junior Copywriter (The Mouse).

The Engineer uses 100% of the CPU. The Copywriter uses Chrome and Spotify.

Giving a "Mouse" employee an "Elephant" laptop isn't generosity. It’s Capital Expenditure malpractice.

So this morning, I launched "Operation Zootopia."

I ran a script to audit CPU utilization across the company.

If your average daily CPU usage is under 10%, you are classified as a "Rodent Tier User."

I confiscated 40 MacBooks from the Marketing and HR departments.

I replaced them with refurbished Chromebooks and 2nd Gen iPads.

They were furious. They asked, "How am I supposed to work on this?"

I told them what the movie taught me: "You don't build a highway for a hamster. You build a tube."

We recovered $120,000 in hardware assets in one morning.

Stop giving Ferraris to people who only drive to the grocery store.

Nature doesn’t waste resources. Neither should IT.

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”
Maybe this was one of the best explanations of the concept of GOD.

Hubby gave me his consent to post this gist..

Few days back, My husband had an event in his company, and as a Cofounder, he is to deliver an inaugural speech for the occasion.

He wanted me to go over his speech, check for possible errors grammatically. I took his MacBook & went through his speech and I was pleased with what I read, how he started and how he ended it.

When I was done, I told him I wouldn't change anything, so he kissed me & said; "you're coming with me".

"But I'm pregnant"🥺 i said. I didn't want to go cos for some days I've been having contractions & i wouldn't want to stress myself.

He said his co-founder, Investors, invited guests, and employees who are married are all coming with their partners.

Then he bent down, kissed my stomach and spoke to his kids; "Sons, I wouldn't want you boys stressing your mum or giving her any contractions today. Be good boys & Cooperate with her alright??" — immediately hubby was done talking, he touched my tummy & he felt their movements. Then hubby said; "that's my boys!!"🤠

It was a funny moment. So I went to get myself ready for the event & hubby helped dressing me up. Selected the best dress in my wardrobe & we both got ready, got into the car, then we hit the road.

The event planner did a stunning job with her settings, I love how everything was looking & in my heart I felt proud of my husband for the year's success.

Hubby took me to the round table where he and other dignitaries with their wives were seated, then the event went under-way.

It was time for hubby to air his speech, that Son of a Queen, used 10 minutes to shower praises on me, I felt embarrassed (in a good way), I was blushing, he lavishly praised me for my support, my commitment & investments in his life since we met, my unwavering love & understanding, and how much he respects me, then he did a toast 🥂 to all the good wives in the house. We the wives all felt special🥰🥰

I didn't know when tears came running down my eyes. When everyone applauded, i closed my eyes for few seconds and in my heart, I thanked God for crowning my head with a loving husband.

After hubby had finished his speech, he was given a standing ovation. When he came to join me where his seat was, I pulled him closer and kissed him on the lips.

Now what is the essence of this gist??

1. A Hymn Song says "count your blessings, name them one by one" — When I started counting mine, I counted my parent first, then my husband second, because if I wasn't raised right, even if I met hubby, I would have been a bad wife to him.

2. How invested are you with the guy you're currently dating? Do you share in his vision? And what are your contributions that help facilitate his progress?

Do you love him that much that you can have a stake in his life, that wherever he goes, he can't talk about his career journey without mentioning your name, dedicating his achievements to your investments in his life? — Pause & think this through.

3. Are you also growing as your boyfriend is growing? — "i was there when he had nothing", can your boyfriend also give account of how far you've also grown in wisdom, career path, Business advancement, and otherwise??

For a marriage to work, it takes two to tangle, and for a marriage to fail, it takes the same two to make it fail.

I didn't write this thread to mock you or anything, I wrote this to challenge you to level up. Yes I acknowledge that you've been trying & your Fiancee can testify of the notable things you've contributed in his/her life, but there is more you can do.

May the Good Lord teach you a more excellent way to love your partner more notable and impactful, fulfilling destiny together. Amen.

Thanks for Reading 📚 📖 this far.

My husband and I have a deal that whenever we fight or disagree about something, the first one who notices it’s getting heated needs to speak up and say

“hey just a reminder that we’re best friends”

and for the last ten years this has worked remarkably well. It really snaps us out of whatever escalating path we might’ve been on and contextualizes how small the discussion is relative to the big picture.

Anyway happy saturday ☀️

Charcoal is one of the most neglected products at home. We only see the need when it's time to set fire - to the coal pot users. LOL.

Charcoal is something you must have on you all the time. In Case you never paid much attention, it's time to do it.

Here are the benefits of charcoal you never thought of:
