People often say, “You get what you deserve.” For many, it rings true. But for some, the rules don’t apply. They take more than they earn, believing they’re above the laws that govern the rest of us, the people who wake up, work hard, and struggle to live honest lives.
Where is the hope for the common man?
That’s what’s heartbreaking about incidents like this.
Young Nigerians leave home to serve their country, only to be kidnapped on the way to their NYSC orientation camps. Their families are then left to deal with ransom demands and the unbearable burden of trying to bring their loved ones home.
In a functioning society, something like this should shake the entire nation until every victim is brought home safely.
Instead, kidnapping after kidnapping becomes another headline we scroll past.
How did we get to a point where young people cannot even travel to serve their country without fearing that they may be taken?
A country cannot keep asking its young people to serve it while failing to keep them safe.
This is tragic.
Nigerians deserve better.
Bring them home.
If I want to develop a 20-unit apartment now and I need maybe ₦2 billion to take it off the ground, I meet a couple of people who would give me the ₦2 billion.
Then I list it off-plan and say, “Come and invest in real estate.”
You are a customer.
Because while you are paying me money, the people who funded the project are already cashing out. Then we are leaving the assets with you.
Someone asked, how do you identify the correct investment?
First thing first: they are not selling lifestyle.
Secondly, correct investments, in all honesty, are not usually sold in public. If it is in public, you are a customer.
Some of the most fantastic investments I know, you can’t even join.
Once you’ve successfully made money through a repeatable, non-random process, making it again becomes easier.
Now you have both capital and a mental model for how money is made.
At that point, you realise it’s actually a game.
If we paid the same level of attention to scrutinising Tinubu, other presidential candidates, public officials and those in positions of power as we currently do Peter Obi, maybe, just maybe, Nigeria would be in a better place.
