One thing poverty stole from a lot of people is the ability to make mistakes.

Lol. So imagine if Olise had chosen to represent Nigeria. With our now-routine failure to qualify for major tournaments, there’s a real chance he’d be somewhere playing meaningless monkey post while the world missed out on witnessing a generational talent. Now imagine how many other Olises we’ve already lost to dysfunction, incompetence, and corruption. That’s the real tragedy, not just the players we know, but the countless ones the world never got the chance to see.. Chai.

Entertainment is not inherently bad. The fatal problem is when a society breeds more clowns than builders. A nation of builders will always outperform a circus of jesters.

A while ago, a young Nigerian who works at a store near a place I often stroll to sit struck up a conversation with me. At some point, I mentioned the pressing need for me to earn as much as I could over the next few months. His response amused me.

He said that, of all the young Nigerians he knew, I was one of the few people he did not think was ready to make money. So, I asked why.

At first, he struggled to explain it. Later, he told me that he had been observing me. He often saw me arrive at roughly the same time of day, sit in the same spot, sometimes with a notebook, other times with my phone, and remain there for an hour or more. He said, nobody serious about making money would sit down for that long. They would be moving around, looking for something to do.

I like the guy. But what interested me was the mentality behind his conclusion. One thing I have noticed among many Nigerians is a tendency to confuse motion with progress. If people cannot visibly see you exerting yourself, rushing around, reacting, struggling, or performing urgency, they assume nothing productive is happening. But a person can spend two hours running around in circles and achieve less than someone who spends thirty minutes carefully deciding where to direct his effort.

In reality, many of those occasions when he saw me sitting there, I was reviewing documents, responding to emails, editing work, reading, planning, and organizing my next steps. I simply preferred doing it in an open space rather than staring at the same corner of a room all day. Because the work was not visibly strenuous, it was interpreted as laziness.

I have encountered this mentality in other contexts too. When problems arise, my instinct is usually not to react immediately. I sit and think. Sometimes for a few minutes. Sometimes longer. This has irritated many people.

People often become frustrated because I am not as visibly upset as they are. I am not demonstrably angry. I do not immediately spring into action. To them, my calmness can look like disinterest.

Yet I have repeatedly watched people react first, rush into action, exhaust themselves, and eventually arrive at the very conclusions I arrived at after taking a few extra moments to deliberate. Simply because I was willing to pause long enough to consider possibilities they had not yet considered.

The same mentality appears in how we think about ambition. Some people seem to believe that if you are truly focused on success, you must always look serious. You cannot stop to greet people, laugh, enjoy yourself, think quietly, or take stock of your situation. You must constantly appear busy.

I have never accepted that view. The ability to zoom out, evaluate your actions, learn from mistakes, identify patterns, and adjust your approach is not the opposite of ambition. It is often the very thing that makes ambition effective.

Worthy goals are achieved through a combination of thought and action; knowing when to push, when to pause; when to observe, when to engage.

I am deeply suspicious and often disconcerted by any culture that treats quiet deliberation as laziness and superficial activity as virtuous. Movement is not always progress. Sometimes the most reasonable thing a person can do is sit still and quietly alone and by themselves.

[Enyinnaya @enyinna_]

Usually—outside Nigeria, at least—people don’t just hit big money. They grow into it. Along the way, they become part of communities, build relationships, and acquire forms of social capital that secure them in many respects.

This is why I don’t pay much attention to advice that says, “Here’s what to do with a million dollars.” I’m not going to wake up with a million dollars. I’m going to make a few thousand, then tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands, and eventually a million.

And in the course of that process, I’ll encounter circumstances that sharpen my judgment and develop my ability to make informed decisions.

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

I want to thank HE Peter Obi for the process so far.

He’s been incredibly supportive. He is our leader and we look up to him.

@Hauwa_L But what is wrong with this tweet?

[khaleesi🧍🏽‍♀️ @shelovesore]

Colon (:) introduces something. You usually use it when what comes after is a list, or an explanation, or even a reveal.
An example is “she had one rule: never apologize” or “this is a list of things you should get from the market: eggs, tomatoes…”
It’s also used as the eyes in a smiley face :)

Semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts that are related but could stand alone as separate sentences. It’s stronger than a comma but softer than a full stop.
An example is “Frank never apologized; he didn't think he was wrong”

It’s also used as the eyes in a winking face ;)

“Tinubu no really trust me as an Igbo man that I am and because I worked for Peter Obi at the last election but I chose Tinubu now because I don’t want to lose again. Make Tinubu just do his 8 years Dey go cos nobody can move him from there. Peller, Make sure you vote Tinubu because it was Tinubu’s tenure you got your fame”

The thing most people will never tell you about wealth is that most wealthy people hardly form attachments to most of their property. Everything is transient. It is that mindset that helps compounding.

A car is meant to be used and sold or kept for sale in the future if it is a supercar that appreciates. Houses are meant to be bought and sold or used as collateral for more leverage. Every asset serves a purpose and if they are not appreciating, they are disposed of.

After I sold a car last year, I noted how much it was in dollars and looked at how much it could have appreciated if I put that money in the US stock market, and I now want to sell every car or every asset that I am not utilizing fully.

An apartment I was offered for £85k in 2007 is now £450 today in Salford. It was a rent-to-buy deal but the problem I had then was moving money across borders. So, I put the money back into the business and lost everything. Rich people don't get too attached to one business as well. It is why they invest and move assets around.

Wealth management is a game of information and access. Keeping liquidity is not because of flexing or enjoyment but for the purposes of multiplication. This is why I cringe when I hear that stupid Nigerian term “Money na Water.” It shows that some people are devoid of ideas.

“Money no be water, money na bullet.” Load your weapon and aim wisely.

This man just destroyed the whole argument. Anyone still saying Nigeria is economically thriving under Tinubu’s government should pay close attention, he continues to be a disaster for the country.

A semicolon is used instead of a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so -- remember FANBOYS)

Instead of:
I like coffee, but I don't drink it every day.

you can write:
I like coffee; I don't drink it every day.

An Igbo woman married to an American collects American citizenship and becomes American.

But e reach your turn, you say she cannot become Igbo.

Better keep that your smelly Ronu mentality in Lagos.

As far as you’re married to an Igbo man, you’re now one of us.

Interestingly when people japa, many tend to get angrier about Nigeria. Some folks who didn’t really care about politics began to care when they realized the only reason they were outside Nigeria in the first place was a forced choice.

Good.
