Why isn't Nigeria rich?Bad government? Corruption?
Or is there a more uncomfortable explanation: the way we think about money itself?
In my new article, I explore why some societies turn money into capital,while others struggle .

In my case:
I laughed at her jokes about how his flat stomach wasn’t because he was a good fasting Christian or a gym bro, but likely hunger.
We laughed at his worn-out belt and many other things.
In fact, he was the butt of our jokes to the point that I felt she had no respect for him. I used to tease her with “your husband is calling” whenever he called her phone. I didn’t know I was prophesying. 😄
Today, they are married with two kids.
If your father or mother is above 67, please pause and read this slowly.
At that age, life begins to feel different for them. The world moves faster, but their bodies move slower. The things they once did effortlessly now require effort. Their strength is not what it used to be, and even if they don’t say it, they feel it.
What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe.
If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit.
If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity.
And beyond money, give them something deeper.
Call them without being in a hurry.
Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes.
Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again.
At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten.
Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart.
Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty.
And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation.

Why is it that Nigerian food is only considered appealing once it’s been shrunk, stripped of its soul, and plated with tweezers?
In this video, I argue that we don’t have to dilute our cuisine to export it.

Is it possible to make LAWMA registration a regulatory requirement (or drive enforcement if regulation exists) for businesses in lekki & Lagos in general?
I believe that if this business had been compelled to register with LAWMA, they would use the service paid for?
Today is my mom’s 80th birthday. My mom is an immigrant refugee who abruptly restarted her life at age 40.
She studied nursing at London (photo 1964).

Please join me and wish my mom a happy birthday.
