Are you living for yourself or merely existing for the approval or expectation of others?

“I never asked you to” is such a nasty thing to say after benefiting from someone’s time and love.

My friends,

There comes a moment in every life when you must decide what truly matters. Not what is easy, not what is comfortable but what is right.

To serve the people is not a part-time commitment. It is not a title, a badge, or a position you wear when it suits you. It is a calling that demands everything you have and everything you are willing to become.

Because service means sacrifice

It’s time.

Reducing what goes on in a boy’s head on his birthday to fake maturity is an evidence to how insensitive the other gender can be to a boy, many times even in relationships.

For boys, a lot of expectations are attached to age

While birthday is a call for studio photoshoot for some

for many boys, new age is a reminder of the apartment of their own that they should have had

It’s a reminder that they are getting too old to be where they’re financially, academically and relationship wise etc

On a normal day a boy could just sit and start thinking of how to move forward in life, that thinking is more intense on a birthday

So if they don’t send a picture of themselves as broadcast to all contacts on WhatsApp group for a repost, it’s not a flex

They are grateful for life, but when they have something truly worth celebrating they won’t hold back

It’s not fake maturity, we are usually on a date with reality and reality is not friendly.

Before I left home for church yesterday afternoon, my son came to me with a problem he needed to solve. He wanted to connect a controller to his Mac to test the game he was building. We finally figured it out with a Nimbus SteelSeries I had bought for the Apple TV Arcade games.

He “conned” me with that maneuver into getting him an Apple developer account for $99 a year. I was laughing as I left home.

I had taken our cleaner who I discovered recently was the Cathechist of a local Catholic church to his own church in a neighborhood I had never been to in Togo. It was an eye-opening experience. I saw people living as we used to live in Nigeria some decades ago. This was another part of Africa we don't show online in the suburbs of a city. The boundary between rural and urban life.

The thing that took my memory back to my early days in Nigeria was a shop selling granite and concrete grinding stones outside. I had not used one of those things since the 1980s. I was shocked that they were still being sold in a city with constant electricity.

My first thought was, these are stone-age cooking implements still being used likely by another child at home in an Africa where my son was also able to build online games for the world. Then I remembered that I still had a small manual stone grinding mortar at home that I used for some meals like Afang. It was more traditional than stone age.

It still bothered me though. The people who likely bought and used these things didn't so so out of choice but necessity. As I moved further, I saw bigger grinding mills that were engine-driven being sold. They were still crude and a far cry from my electric Ninja blender at home. The good thing was that they were locally engineered and manufactured. We at least moved forward a bit.

The crazy thing is that while the electric blender is now very cheap at China Mall in Lome, these crude local grinding and food processing machines are more widely used because of the sheer demand for food and their durability. It took me into another rabbit hole again on what we need to build for the market.

While my son was using an app called Blender at home to make animations and games, another kid who didn't have access to a blender would be using a grinding stone and both are still living in the same city. I started wondering how both could share experiences and context? Then it occurred to me that I was the bridge. I had experienced both worlds.

I have used the grinding stone to cook and I helped build tech companies that have raised millions of dollars. I can help my son and also help the boy whose parents can only afford a grinding stone. I think I am now changing churches again and will be going with my kids to the my cleaner/cathechist’s church.

I also need my kids to experience what life is like in most of Africa and not get lost into a virtual existence while being unaware of the reality all around them.

Africa will grow and move forward but it will not do so until then grinding stone becomes largely replaced by the electric blender and then every kid has the opportunity to be able to build online with software tools like Blender.

For the life of me, I dont understand the job of our foreign affairs ministry.

If and when they do reciprocity, everyone starts complaining on X but the most basic thing is difficult for them.

The world is already closing its doors to Nigerians. We don’t need to close more doors.

[BudgIT Nigeria @BudgITng]

🗣️ Nigerians,

Our local governments are quietly getting away with being the “Invisible Tier of Government.” That has to change!

Every month, money flows to 774 of them.
But if we try to answer one simple question: What exactly did they budget for?

In many states, that information is not publicly available online. The government closest to citizens has become the hardest to see.

Our nationwide search shows that in many states, LGA budgets are simply not available anywhere online. Full report coming soon.

What you're feeling has a name, it's called circumstantial hopelessness.

It's not who you are, it's a response to a genuinely hard environment. Your brain is reacting normally to an abnormal amount of pressure.

You're alive and that matters. You will win.

This has always been my belief: focus on the one thing you believe in. It doesn’t matter what everyone is saying. It doesn’t matter what is trending. Provided you believe in that thing, stay fixed on it. Let people yap. The same voices that condemned your path will, at the sight of your success, praise your resolve.
