Mr Banks, who couldn't afford ₦5,000 to buy foodstuffs in 2020, can now afford $5 million in 2026 to buy a Cybertruck.
The guy he begged for ₦5,000 that year, he now rewards him with ₦5 million in 2026.
This also takes me back to my friend, who came to my house in 2015 to borrow my Toyota Matrix 2005, so he could visit his then-fiancée's mother, in the suburbs of Ikorodu.
When he returned, my car was faulty, even though I had given it to him in good condition. I called mechanics and consulted almost every expert I could find, but nobody could fix it for three weeks. It wasn't until we employed the services of a car diagnostic engineer that we discovered it was a brain box problem.
Throughout this period, which lasted almost a month, he didn't call or ask what was wrong with the car he had borrowed. I paid for everything myself, and eventually got a new brainbox.
I was only pissed off because he didn't call to show any concern. I called and told him I wasn't happy about that. Even after I fixed it, a few months later, he still borrowed it for his introduction ceremony, and I didn't decline.
Today, he is one of the biggest clearing agents on Tin Can Island, Apapa. His business has earned him nothing less than five houses in the heart of Apapa. He also owns three warehouses in Egbeda, which he bought outrightly.
The last time he came visiting, during my first child's naming ceremony, he saw that I was using a 2009 Toyota Camry. He told me I was too big to be driving that kind of car and that he knew I wouldn't speak up even when I needed something.
The next day, he called, and asked to meet him in Magodo. He bought me a 2023 Toyota Camry, which my wife now drives.
After some time, I asked myself: What if I had listened to the people who advised me to stop lending him my car after he returned it faulty? Would he have thought about me this way today?
Kindness and human investment are the greatest forms of investment. They can yield returns that even Dangote's IPO shares may not match. If you keep getting it clear, keep using it to clear road for people who are in dire needs around you, without expecting nothing in return.
Sometimes, the people you help when they have nothing are the same people who remember you when they have everything.
If you’re a forex trader who is still struggling, or you’re just a hustler struggling in general, calm down and read this story to the end.
Back in 2019, when things weren’t this good for me, I was still struggling as a trader. There was this girl on Instagram. We started talking, the connection was building and we were cool. Sometimes we would be on calls for hours and everything was good.
Then all of a sudden, I noticed she stopped giving me the same attention. Sometimes I would send her a message and it would take 3–4 days before she replied. And when she eventually replied, it would just be “hi” or “hello” like nothing happened. The energy was just completely different.
Then one day, I saw that she posted another guy and captioned it “my love.” When I saw the picture, I immediately understood what was going on. The guy had chains, tattoos and they were standing in front of a Benz GLK.
At that time, I couldn’t compete with that kind of lifestyle. And I won’t lie to you, it was painful. But what could I do? I had to let go and focus on myself.
About a year later, I noticed she had travelled out of the country. Today I’d see her post pictures with her man in England, tomorrow Spain, next tomorrow Paris and so on. It was painful to watch, but I didn’t let it get to me. I just focused on my trading, my work and myself.
Fast forward to when I got my GLE 53 AMG Coupé. She suddenly messaged me and congratulated me after years of barely replying to my messages on WhatsApp. I simply said “thanks” and kept it moving. She tried to initiate a conversation, but I didn’t entertain it.
Then fast forward again to yesterday.
I received a message from the same girl. She told me she was stranded and having problems with immigration in England. She had to leave the country and come back to Nigeria. She also told me things were financially tight for her and asked if I could help her and accommodate her in my house until she could get back on her feet.
Lol.
Honestly, I was shocked. Not because she needed help, but because I wondered what made her think she still had that kind of access to me after all these years. What does she take me for? What makes her think I would still be available like nothing happened?
Why not other ladies like her ? Why me in particular? For how long too ? lol
I attached the conversation below 👇🏽
But there’s a bigger lesson I want you to take from this.
If you’re a forex trader and you’re struggling right now, never give up on your dream.
There will be moments when you look around and feel like everyone else is ahead of you. You’ll see people flexing cars, trips, money and lifestyles while you’re still trying to figure things out.
Don’t let that discourage you.
Keep learning. Keep working. Keep improving yourself. Keep building.
And don’t let people flaunting questionable money make you feel like you’re behind in life. Build something legitimate. Build something sustainable. Build something that can still be standing years from now.
Your current situation is not your final destination.
Stay patient. Stay focused. Keep going.
According to statistics, over 78 million Nigerians staked on Sporty Bet today.
Let’s assume each person staked just ₦100:
78 million × ₦100 = ₦78 billion.
I’m not sure up to 1 million people escaped Man City or Bayern today, but let’s assume 1 million people won.
That leaves:
₦78 billion − ₦1 billion = ₦77 billion.
So, approximately, SportyBet allegedly made ₦77 billion today alone. 😭
Guys, we seriously need to come together and stop gambling. 😭😂

When I started trading in my 100 level as a Pharmacy student, technical analysis was one of the things I struggled with the most.
I remember learning Break of Structure back then and arguing with my mentor that it only worked on a few pairs.
Same thing with CHoCH. I would see people explain these concepts so easily, but when I went back to my own charts, it felt completely different.
At some point, I genuinely thought maybe some of these things just didn’t work the way people claimed they did.
But with more screen time, more studying & journaling, more chart work and constantly seeing the same things play out, everything gradually started becoming clearer.
Concepts that once looked complicated became normal. Things I used to overthink started becoming easy to identify.
This is why, if you’re still in your learning phase right now, don’t be too hard on yourself.
Everyone you look up to today once struggled with something they now make look easy.
-Nobody starts trading already understanding everything.
Keep learning. Keep practicing. Keep giving yourself more time with the charts.
One day, you’ll look back at the things confusing you today and wonder why they ever felt so difficult.
It gets easier.
It gets better with time.
Ketonazole is banned by NAFDAC not because people are abusing it.
But because the drug when taken in its normal dosage can cause life threatening damages to the liver.
I pity the masses that have taken this medication before.

A profitable trader earns more than consistent profits.
He earns the privilege of living life completely on his own terms.
▪️No boss telling him where to be.
▪️No clients to impress.
▪️No need to sell anything to anyone before he earns.
▪️He doesn’t even need to be active on social media if he doesn’t want to.
All he needs is his device, his capital, and his edge.
There’s a certain quiet confidence that comes with that life. A freedom most people will never taste.
Don’t you want to live like this?
2x 5rr on 200$ personal accounts is $2k
