There’s an unfair advantage to become crazily successful that many people simply neglect.
Think about this:
Herbert Wigwe & Aig founded Access Bank. Before that they were directors at GTB.
Before Moniepoint became a unicorn, the founders had worked at another unicorn called Interswitch.
Before Steve Jobs started apple, he had interned at HP.
Coincidence? No.
Exposure is an unfair advantage.
Do everything you can in this life to get into rooms where your dreams are the norm for the people there.
See what is possible.
Get into those circles by any legal means necessary.
You’ll never be the same. Something will rob off on you.
Have you noticed that the people at the very top of every industry in this world knew each other from way back?
That’s because they all had a single unfair advantage that most people ignore.
Think about this:
In 2023, the founder of Altschool said that he noticed that 80% of the people dominating the tech space in Nigeria at the time were people hanging around CChub circa 2011-2013.
In 2023 as well, tech cabal released an article called the paystack mafia. It was an article outlining several tech founders doing incredible things, raising funds and building. They were all at the company around the same time.
If you read up the PayPal mafia, you see the exact same pattern. How that the founders of YouTube, LinkedIn, Tesla, Palantir, Space X were all together at some point.
Let’s leave tech.
Coscharis. Ifeanyi Ubah. Ibeto. Inosson.
All billionaires in Nigeria. They all come from the same community. Nnewi.
They all started the same - trading spare parts.
The money used to settle coscharis from his apprenticeship was given to him by Okeiyi ( Chisco ) who was serving at the same time.
I promise you:
An unfair advantage that will remain the differentiating factor for the top 1% forever is something called community.
I don’t know how to explain it but something magical happens when people of like minds and similar vision come together in a confined space. No matter how small they start.
It’s like energy is coming together and something has to emerge as a result. It can’t be result-less.
The reason you’re already thinking “how do I get into communities that will help me grow?” Is because you’re not sincere with your desires.
You’re looking for already-made groups. They won’t accept you into their circle.
I won’t as well. I don’t trust you.
Start where you are. One. Two. Three friends that are simply hungry pursuing diverse dreams bound by a genuine desire to change their lives…you will shock yourself in a few years.
Rooting for you. Like mad.

@Oludeewon I am currently learning Natural Language Processing and I think it's the best gift I am giving myself this year . I have never felt so happy I took Linguistics as my first degree. In fact,it is now that I appreciate that first degree.
@odogwu_ogidi Main market, Ariara Market, Ogba Efele, Coal Camp market, Ogbete main market, Ochanja market, Building market, Eke Awka market and lots more are still open, growing bigger. Every man to his own.
This is one of the ways I touch lives.
