It will never make sense to me that policemen got a hold of a civilian linked with arms who repeatedly said the main man was in Sapele and he was willing to take them there, yet they executed him rather than follow the Sapele lead.
Sorry, it actually 'makes sense' to me why they would shoot him rather than attempt to find his accomplices. And I know it 'makes sense' to you too...
If you want to be like somebody.
Please and please, go and find out what their day-to-day looks like.
That is the first thing you need to do.
It helps you reconsider if that is actually what you want.
If yes, it will become clear to you the level of discipline required for you to show up.
No ‘anyhowness’
Success is built on discipline.
Ultimately customers decide what your business is. Not your business plan or sprints. And you better listen fast and well.
When we started So Fresh, the idea was a modern fruit and vegetable market, a Nigerian version of Whole Foods. Within one month, we got a different signal from the customers. They weren’t really coming for the whole fruits and vegetables, they wanted juices, smoothies, salads, and ready to eat meals.
So, we pivoted.
What started as a fresh produce retail concept slowly evolved into a healthy food restaurant business, and over time that became the foundation of what So Fresh is today. Your strategy may start the business, but smart entrepreneurs allow customers shape it.
Which means you can't afford to get too attached your original ideas. Even more importantly, you can't even get too attached to what's working, you have to be able to sense when customer preference shifts or when the market is getting disrupted.
Your job is to always listen early and adapt quickly. Sometimes the real opportunity is hiding just beside the idea you started with, and the market is always speaking.
Just watched the facts behind the acquisition of CHI by UACN.
Man, this management is shrewd. The transaction was so well done.
You need to watch it yourself.

Your pastor doesn’t have to be rich for him to pastor you . He doesn’t have to be a picture of the future you want to feature in . He just needs to be faithful in the ministry God has called him to fulfill.
We need to repent both pulpit and pew wherever this mindset exists .
Always thank people for their feedback. Even if you do not agree with what's said, receive it graciously and recognise that it took effort to give. If others find you defensive, you will get less feedback in the future, which will only hurt your growth.
This is how to waste your career, one comfortable year at a time.
Came across the article in 2022. I was at my last Nigerian company then. I knew I wasn’t doing high-impact things anymore…but I didn’t particularly have someone to teach me on board either anymore.
So I knew it was time, because I had started wasting my career.
Please read it. It’s helped my life so far—and I hope it does the same for you.

If you have someone who tells you the truth when you need to hear one, appreciate them. Their delivery might offend you, but always remember that they would rather choose to correct you than ignore you like most of the world would.
Don't wait till you experience the flip side.
You won't appreciate correction from your parents till you see how the world handles your flaws.
When correcting me about my sleeping habit as a teen, my mum would always say that she was doing so because she cared. If she did not, she'd ignore me.
Didn't get it until NYSC 🧵
