I genuinely hope every single person experiences the feeling of taking care of their loved ones and giving back to your parents.
The sense of accomplishment from that itself is close to none.
So if you're still stuck in a rut, keep going with the end goal of taking care of the people around you.
Worth every single hardship there is.
I have two blind friends who have told me separately how most people don't realize how easy it is for anyone to just go blind from an accident. One Red Bull almost did it for me over two weeks ago. Being able to see without trouble is an underrated blessing. Still recovering.
Immediately after signing out from school, I sought out professional Nigerian teams. I attended one trial but didn’t make the cut (as stated in one of my earlier tweets). I was later recommended to an NNL team by a senior and went there straight away.
I arrived during the already commenced second half of the season when I could no longer be registered. The aim was for me to stay until the end of the season and register for the new one. I was with them for a period, spending thousands of my own money to commute from my house to the training ground.
Unfortunately, however…
"If there is one lesson I have learned throughout my journey, it is that success is rarely determined by who starts first or even who starts strongest. More often, it is determined by who remains committed long enough to see their vision become reality."
Ray Kroc, the "founder" of McDonald's as we know it today, said this - "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
That quote alone inspired me to pursue entrepreneurship.
Thank you Giannis for everything 💚 🦌

The $1M conversation on Nigerian Twitter is funny because the first thing you should do when you come into money in bulk is to leave it. Pretend it doesn't exist for at least 3 months. Never jump into investing in anything you don't know very well. I am talking from experience.
The reason Africa is poor is because we don’t choose our leaders. We are made to believe we choose them. African leaders are chosen in London, Paris & Washington.
Nelson Mandela of South Africa 🇿🇦 was hidden in Nigeria from the apartheid Govt for 6 months by former Nigerian Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi in 1963.
South Africans former President Thabo Mbeki lived in Nigeria from 1977-84.
🇳🇬 Jaja Wachuku saved Mandela from the death penalty in 1963/1964.

Men NEVER forget disrespect during his downtime‼️
One way or the other, the woman will pay for it.
This is why I always advise women who were caught cheating by their man to leave the relationship/union, because a true masculine man will mess her up on that basis, one way or the other.
It is also why when a woman says the man they “built” with or was with when “he had nothing” (a false statement in most cases btw) left her, my first instinct is: what did she do to him during the period “he had nothing”? Because many of these women do stuff to men they feel they’re doing a favor by dating—from cheating to condescending remarks—all due to his financial state at the time. But once he succeeds and can hold his own, they forget what they did and only mention the part when the guy left after making it.
It is even worse for those who cheated and thought they weren’t caught, because they will keep wondering why, while most guys stay silent and just pull the plug.
Imagine your babe cheating on you because you are not financially buoyant, then wanting you to settle for her when you become stable. That is not an adequate reward, and no sane man should reward such a woman with commitment.
If she truly contributed to your growth and you feel indebted, pay her off the best way you can and leave her be. Never compensate her with marriage. Find another woman that loves you. That’s it.
Finally, if you are a woman, know that the average man will not forgive you for cheating. Even if he does, he will punish you for it one way or the other—only rare exceptions.
Men never forget disrespect‼️
