To turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones:

1. Spend your time on finding solutions instead of complaining about the problem.

2. When offered a solution, do not focus on why it won't work; focus on how to make it work.

@NbcNfl @NFL CLE #85 Njoku is not "Nu-joku" as pronounced by the commentators. The name is "Un-joku"... "Un" like in Kim Jong Un.

@yinkanubi 🤣 Now this is hilarious. They may think they are conserving data, but it is false. The updates and information they prevented from delivery at the time their data was switched off will still be delivered once the data is switched back on. They only delayed timely delivery.

@yinkanubi @WoleOluyemiCo He is just shaking table ni 😁

@WoleOluyemiCo Whatsapp's end-to-end encryption precludes it (& any app) from reading your messages. An app cannot sort your messages by topics without reading the messages. You see the conundrum now?

If you cannot turn your raw materials into finished products, you will not reach your highest potential.

This is true for everything including your talent.

Citizens with warped sense of entitlement don't just happen at adulthood. They are a product of questionable parenting and bad value system in the community. Raise your kid(s) with the right values.

Don't have a bad attitude because you are having a bad day.

@naomiosaka on winning #USOpen from a set down in Sep 2020: “... I just thought it would be very embarrassing to lose this in under an hour, so I just have to try as hard as I can and stop having a really bad attitude.”

Arsenal FC is lukewarm like the Laodicean church, phasic like tide & ebb, and sometimes stagnant like pond.

Learnt in 2015 that $0.5T mined ores resulted in $3.2T trade in finished goods.

Lesson: Wealth is not in raw materials or ores; it is in the refinement and processing into finished goods. Refine your talent.

@WoleOluyemiCo T-Shirt == $4.95
TEE-Shirt == $495
The "EE" is "Extra Expensive" ; it makes a lot of difference. 😁

It is time to revalue labour in Nigeria. If you pay a driver N15k per month to do 6 in 1 jobs and then regularly send him to buy your kids snack worth N30k over the course of a month, the driver will sooner or later resent you and your family.

@yinkanubi Humans struggle to hold logic and emotion at the same time. They both have their places but one must be low for the other to be high... One must wither for the other to flourish.

@WoleOluyemiCo Why does he need to move to LA?
