My “hot take” on this is that the next wave of things to become very valuable will be tech media companies. The thing great tech media companies know how to do better than other tech institutions is to build a loyal audience. This is why I am not surprised at the recent tech media acquisitions.
Influencers will be important, but trusted media companies will be much more important. This reminds me of the early days of personal computers when PC Magazine and PC World reigned supreme. I still subscribe to PC World to this day.
They helped all of us make sense of what was happening and were much more important to users than the builders. There will also be interesting new media companies in this AI era.
I see tech people write about what they do and they are completely lost. They can't communicate well. There are many pitches I see and I shake my head. Great products but very bad communication. Great communication will become the moat. AI won't solve that problem. At least not yet.
This brings me back to our argument about professional and unprofessional players.
I told you people that the difference between professionals and unprofessionals is fitness, not talent. People kept arguing that you can't be better than anybody in Europe. What you lack is opportunity. Who don sabi don sabi. Football is a gift.
Zadok had not played one minute of professional football in Nigeria. He was spotted by a scout and sent to Sweden to play with and against professionals. In a year, his impact in Sweden got him a big move to Brighton.
From grassroot to dominating Swedish top league to moving to Brighton. "The best player in Nigeria cannot be better than the lowest ranked player in division 3" una. Go pursue am na
"No, he plays like a Nigerian"
How does a Nigerian play o, Nationalist?
Even Okocha plays like a Brazilian.
It is no news that countries have what they stand out for.
Kenyans 🇰🇪 = forehead
South Africans 🇿🇦 = ugly men
Nigerians 🇳🇬 = mumu men
Brazil 🇧🇷 = football
Rest.
Otedola’s book is the realest books written by a Nigerian billionaire - a must read. But there’s one part he didn’t mention.
FO is a bulldozer just like his friend, Dangote. Don’t let the nice words fool you.
Most entrepreneurs may not set out to be like this, but when you see your fortune slipping in front of you, you develop domination instincts that will make you question why you set out on the quest in the first place.
Sometimes I wonder whether you can get to that level in Nigeria without being ruthless.
Those men are ruthless o.
I remember when Oga Femi Awoyemi's Proshare economic info platform published some story about FO about 15 years ago. The way he came after him and his company scared me.
The way Ali Cash fought even his own Kano brother Rabiu too in the cement war.
And the way he fought Dangote too.
FO in particular thrives in surutu. In fact, he went dirty with his now-friend, Ali, too.
These are just few examples.
And na the open ones be that o.

If you're trying to snatch back your ability to kwokirikwo & you've started going to the gym - add these exercises on the day for your core.
2 months of consistency.
If she doesn't ask you what drug you're using, call me a bastard.
I exchange. I get electricity, i don't fix my own roads, don't have to pay for private security, i get decent healthcare, kids get free education, and so forth.
It's not what you pay, it's what you get for what you pay.
I have a company in Germany too
15.825% for Körperschaftsteuer + solidarity
13% ~ 14% for Gewerbesteuer
Withdrawing the remaining ~$700k to your account triggers ~26.4% Abgeltungsteuer, leaving you ~$515k.
If you reinvest the money, you won’t pay the Abgeltungsteuer.
There are several Unternehmensberatung to help you on this or like a Steuerberater.
I still don’t understand the point of all this performative closeness with animals that can’t love you back and can absolutely hurt you without warning.
Snakes don’t have the mental ability to form emotional bonds with humans, and they don’t remember faces the way a dog would. The same snake could bite him tomorrow for doing the exact same thing he’s doing in this video.
@HellRaz0r1776 I worked for LEXUS / Toyota when they started out some of the BEST running and dependable cars EVER ! MY $$ says that will never happen again 😂
Been reading those tweets all week. In 2026, this same set of men are absolving Tinubu of the responsibility of security. I'm not surprised.
OgbeniDipo, Woye, Arindin of Nupe and Remi - I no know who fuck Tinubu pass.
Dem no even dey pity am. Na everyday dem dey lash am TDB.
