When Nigerians accept you, you can do no wrong in their eyes.

Politicians know this. That’s why they strive to be popular with the people and fear no backlash when they do wrong.

Celebs, influencers, and pastors know it. That’s why scandals aren’t such a big deal to them.

@deyola_a You know the problem?
People lack longevity mindset. They think for the now

[genesis onomiwo @TheRealGen1]

Nigerians are always shocked at the news of yet another well-funded startup failing. That’s because a lot of people still erroneously believe that money, especially a lot of it, is all it takes to scale a business and make it successful.

Sorry, money is but a tiny bit of it all.

Most times people won’t care about you until they have something to gain from you.

A lot of the times, what people call “networking” often stems from this basic selfish principle.

@Yemihazan What NOT to Do:
❌ Don’t panic or make sudden movements.
❌ Don’t slam on the brakes.
❌ Don’t try to overcorrect the steering.

Instead:

Stay Calm and Hold the Steering Wheel Firmly

Let the Car Slow Down Naturally

Turn On Hazard Lights

Gently Steer the Car to a Safe Spot

overstimulation. seeing too many lifestyles, opinions, experiences outside of our own.

@ChifeDr Can we blame them, when investors are looking for showmanship rather than revenue based business. Let's keep chasing valuation, asthetics over functional business.

Once you can talk a Big game you get the cheque. This is Silicon valley Season 3 on VR playing out.

So, what exactly did they spend the $16m on?

A lot of Tech founders in Africa have lost a king's ransom and the reasons are not apparent. $105m, $60m, $30m etc.

Are we going to have this conversation?

Tomorrow, I’ll write to the HOD of Architecture in one of Abuja’s private universities that offers the course. You cannot keep sending kids to us for internship at 300L and they can’t even draw a line. Fix up your syllabus-we are tired of babysitting

[Mcjolly Prince from Edrive🇳🇬🇺🇲 @mcjolly_prince]

Just completed Faroux’s book for the 4th time.
One of the key Stoic principles he highlights is the idea of focusing only on what you can control. In entrepreneurship, there are countless external factors and fluctuations, competition, unforeseen events that can derail you.

@BoluAbiodun1 Toh!
One of the problems with most startups in Nigeria is that they don't understand Nigeria's/Nigerians needs from the grassroot.
They often make mistake of trying to do what their counterparts in other parts of the world does, forgetting they're in a different terrain.

Get help if you must, but by all means, vet the help that comes. Some will take more out of you in future than you ever hope to benefit now- sometimes in ways you will regret.
