As you resume work tomorrow and join your morning stand-up meeting, don't make the mistake of saying, "I have no transactions" or "I'm not currently working on any deal." When you're doing your presentation.

The moment you say that, you've put yourself on for drag. To management, it can come across as if you're not making any effort, and you can easily become a target when performance discussions come up.

Instead, talk about your activities and progress.

You can say:

"On Thursday, I visited XYZ Market and generated three leads. Two of them have requested that I come back on Tuesday to collect their documents."

Or:

"On Friday, I met the manager of XYZ Retail Store. We discussed our instant POS solution, and he asked me to begin the onboarding process because they are experiencing delays with reversals on their current provider."

Always have something to report. Talk about your engagements, meetings, prospects, pipeline, and next steps. Give numbers where you can and speak with confidence.

The reality is that sales is a game of activity before it becomes a game of results. If the results haven't landed yet, at least show that the work is happening.

Once the meeting is over, get back into the field and continue pushing your opportunities forward.

But why is Pantami being assessed differently, and attacked more harshly than even less experienced aspirants? There are people with uninspiring credentials and administrative qualifications running for various public offices, some with histories that are hardly praiseworthy, yet none of them is being subjected to this level of obsessive scrutiny.

Most of his critics have no idea who he is running against. They seem interested only in his takedown. Let us at least pretend that we are comparing him with other aspirants and faulting him based on where he ranks, instead of singling him out for exceptional treatment.

I understand the argument that his clerical activities may not align with his political adventure, especially since politics is often seen as a practice of double-speak and dishonesty. But since he is running for political office, we should assess him as a politician and not as a candidate for the Imamate.

When the lawmakers were amending the Electoral Act to allow direct primaries and closing the gap to move to another party when they lose primaries in one party, what were they thinking? Many of them won’t be returning as a result of it.😂

Last August, in partnership with the Dangote Group, we made significant progress by signing a landmark shareholders’ agreement for a fertilizer plant with a planned annual production capacity of 3 million metric tons of urea. In October 2025, we officially launched construction of the project.

This initiative represents far more than infrastructure. It is a strategic investment in Ethiopia’s agricultural transformation, food security, industrial growth, and economic self-reliance. Once completed, the fertilizer plant will play a vital role in strengthening local production capacity, reducing dependence on imports, supporting millions of farmers, and creating new opportunities for jobs and investment.

This morning, together with @AlikoDangote, I visited the project site in Gode to assess the progress achieved so far. I am encouraged by the steady momentum across the project area. Construction activities are advancing as planned across multiple sections of the site, reflecting the strong commitment and collaboration driving this important national project forward.

For all the criticism the APC has rightly received, a fair cost benefit look tells a more layered story. In many ways, they represent a step up from the PDP era, especially when you focus on long term structural changes rather than short term comfort.
The scale of foundational work being tackled now puts much of the previous sixteen years in a different light. We are seeing serious movement in roads and rail, renewed investment in oil and gas, and long delayed projects finally pushed forward. From OB3 to AKK, from the Dangote refinery to plans around Brass NLNG, there is a clear attempt to fix the backbone of the economy rather than just manage it.
On the policy side, there have also been important shifts. Reforms like the Petroleum Industry Bill, taking rail and electricity off the exclusive list, and ongoing tax changes are opening up space in ways that were avoided for years. These are not small adjustments, they are structural decisions that could shape growth for decades.
That said, the pain people are feeling is real. Insecurity remains a serious concern, and the economic pressure on ordinary Nigerians is intense. But many of these hardships are tied to years of delayed decisions and avoided reforms. What is happening now is, in part, the cost of trying to correct that backlog.
I understand insecurity is rampant and the economy is biting, however, these are downward effects of not doing what ought to have been since. Nigeria will rise.

You can't run a proper campaign organization
You can't build a party
You can't win a primary
You can't lead your party's elected officials in opposition
You can't control the worst of your supporters

But you'll be the best president ever? The Math is not mathing.

[Man of Letters. @Letter_to_Jack]

Young people, before you build wealth, you have to first build your comfort. Personal comfort is the fertilizer that helps you grow through clear thinking and peace of mind.

You are buying stocks at the risk of going hungry. Why not eat first? Satisfy your moderate/reasonable cravings, reward yourself. This is how you find the strength to keep pushing.

You are saving, yet the room that you take your rests in everyday is in poor condition. No proper bed. You refused to get an Air Conditioner. Your bedsheet has not been changed in years, your pillow is so worn out and dirty that it could wake the dead if placed under their head. Your underwears (boxers and bra) have not been changed for years. You don’t invest in smelling nice. Why can’t you take care of yourself first?

You are saving when you can afford to rent apartment in a better, more peaceful and serene environment. Yet you remain in an environment filled with unbearable stench and with high security risk. Overtime, that stench becomes your natural ooze, and the insecurity would consume a chunk of that money you saved when they steal your generator or rob you. Your standards will drop without you realizing it. You would have grown so accustomed to that slum you’ve decided to root yourself in that the low standard of living and discomfort becomes normal to you. Eventually, you start to reflect that environment in your behavior and lifestyle; your behavior becomes unrefined and local. The stench becomes ‘clean air’ to you. You lose your sense of smell, that you can’t tell when your armpit is smelling anymore.

You are saving, you’ve saved enough to buy a car to push around, yet you prefer to mount Okada and public transport. Depriving yourself of the barest minimum utility that could greatly improve your efficiency, time saving and quality of life, because you are saving. One day, you will fall on the okada or you’ll have a fight with a conductor and they’ll remove your teeth.

You are saving, but you won’t provide better nutrition for your children even when you can afford it. You forget that proper feeding today prevents bigger health expenses tomorrow. What you avoid now, you may end up paying for later in treatments.

Saving is important, but it is not wisdom to ignore immediate needs. There is no virtue in suffering when you have the means to live better.

In all things, wisdom is key. Do not deprive yourself, and do not live beyond your capacity. Find balance.

Amid the flood of felicitations following my convocation as Overall Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, I find it necessary to address the stir around my NELFUND appreciation post. I accept the praise, life changing offers and the backlash, in good faith. Still, it is only fair to set the record straight.

I hail from a village in Osun State, raised in a modest family of five. I attended public primary and secondary schools, not by choice, but because even the most inexpensive private schools were beyond our means.

Even then, survival itself; food and clothing was a daily struggle. I walked miles to school each morning, while my parents laboured as jacks-of-all-trades to make ends meet.

For nine defining years before I entered university, we lived within sight of basic amenities yet beyond our reach, no electricity, no television; just lanterns and candles. Against these odds, I earned a scholarship and now this distinction.

In my third year, a coursemate’s father, someone I had once tutored academically, gifted me my first smartphone which I am still using till now. On several occasions, lecturers, moved by quiet compassion, provided me with clothing. There are many other instances, too numerous to recount.

So, I say this plainly, not all of us are born with a silver spoon. Some of us climbed the ladder by holding on to every rung of legitimate support we could find.

As an engineering student aspiring to make academic history, should I resort myself to blaming my family’s financial situation for my inability to afford fees and essentials like a reliable smartphone or laptop needed for skills and certifications?

For me personally, NELFUND was not incidental; it was instrumental and to acknowledge what helped one’s journey is neither propaganda nor misplaced allegiance. It is simply an act of appreciation.

Thank you @NELFUND and everyone that contributed to this success!

Greatness awaits all of Us.

A Nigerian engineer once told me something I haven’t stopped thinking about.
He said, “The day I got my offer letter from Amsterdam, my colleague reported me to HR.”

I asked him why.

He said, “Because I was about to earn in one month what he’d earned in three years.”

Then he said, “And the worst part? I understood him.”

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

Let me share one parenting tip with you. This one is about how you can build your child's social intelligence. The ability to read what is not being said out loud.

In the psychology of Ibn Sina, this is called Al-Wahm. It is the power of Estimation. It is the faculty that picks up on meanings that do not have a physical shape.

Think about it like this. We all know a sheep right? And we all know a wolf? Now, let’s think about a sheep looking at a wolf. The eyes see a gray shape with four legs and fur. That is just physical data. But the mind of the sheep knows the wolf is hateful and dangerous right away. That sense of danger is not something the eyes can see. It is a meaning picked up by the Wahm.

When you reflect on our discussion of the 7-7-7 rule, scholars say the best time to practice it is during the second stage of development, around ages 7 to 12. However, it could come earlier because some children have naturally wide mental vessels. This is the sweet spot where the brain starts to handle ideas that are not right in front of them.

Here is how you can help your child build their Wahm.

1. Engage them in mental estimation. What do I mean? For example, when you are out at a mall, a park, or anywhere, pick a stranger standing far away. Do not let your child talk about their clothes or what they are carrying.

Ask them to look at the person and tell you if they think that person is waiting for someone they love or if they are just bored and want to go home. This forces the child to stop leaning on the physical data of the eyes and start using their internal senses to hunt for intentions.

2. Learn always to remove the label. What do I mean here? Let’s say you see someone who is clearly upset, do not just say that person is angry. Ask your child what they think the weight on that person’s heart is at that moment.

You could also ask what they thought about the person’s reaction or behavior. By calling it a weight or a meaning, you are giving the Wahm a job to do.

One of your goals as a parent is to build a child who can read a room before they even speak. This is the root of real leadership. It is about not being fooled by the outward form because the internal sense is already looking for the truth.

How often do you find yourself explaining the why behind people's actions instead of allowing your child to search for the motive? Less Discuss in the comments👏🏿👏🏿

Allah knows best.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

Since the past 24 hours that I made the tweet on child parenting solution, my DM has been buzzing. I checked them, and one thing was quite common to all: Parents who are not happy about their kid’s performance in school, and they have approached it the wrong way.

If you fall in this category, this post is for you.

Many of us use brutal force because expectations are too high, and the anger is just too much. The scholar Ibn al-Jawzi explained in his book Sayd al-Khatir that intellect is a Rizq (provision) from God, just like money or health.

He said some people are born with a wide vessel and others with a narrow one. If you try to force the water of a whole sea into a small cup, you will only spill the water and ruin the cup. This is what many of us are doing. We are trying to force a "doctor's brain" into a child whose cup was designed for something else.

By that, it causes a soul-crushing resentment in the child. Imam Al-Ghazali described this beautifully in Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. He warned parents about a state called “Al-Malal”, where a child builds resentment because they are pushed beyond their limit. Everyone wants the best for their child. No doubt. However, if you keep yelling at them for things they cannot grasp yet, you make them hate the very sight of a book. You are closing the door to their heart while trying to kick open the door to their mind.

Then what is the solution? It is simple.

Going forward, every parent should make efforts to start looking for the Fath (the opening) in their kids. What does this mean? This is the lane the Almighty has prepared for them. In our history, if a child is slow with grammar or math, the scholars don’t call them a failure. They move them to a trade, a craft or a service.

How then do you identify this Fath (Opening) in your child? Please pay close attention to me…

(1) The first phase is Observation. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a concept called Istid’ad (natural readiness) in his book titled: Tuhfat al-Mawdud. This means you want to watch/observe/look at the child when they think nobody is looking. This is your first tool. For the next two weeks, stop talking about school. Do not worry yourself about how they perform on their homework.

Instead, keep a "Strength Log." Every evening, write down one thing they did well that had nothing to do with a classroom. Did they fix a broken toy? Did they calm down a crying sibling? Did they organise their shoes? You are looking for their Istid’ad (natural readiness). If they are "book-slow" but "people-smart" or "hand-smart," that is where the key has been placed.

(2) Introduce “Project or Craft” early on. Ibn Khaldun, in his Muqaddimah, argued that projects/crafts are high forms of intelligence that build civilizations. He argued that some minds are designed to understand the physical world better than the abstract one.

Give them a "Project Day." Buy a basic tool kit, a sewing machine, or a coding starter kit. Give them a broken radio or a piece of furniture to fix. Delegate. Give them a real-world task that has a visible result. When a child who fails at math sees that they can build a table or bake a perfect loaf of bread, their internal shame starts to heal. They realize they are not stupid; they were just in the wrong room.

(3) Kill the Comparison Virus. Imam Al-Zarnuji, in his classic work Ta’lim al-Muta’allim, explained that a student should only study what fits their nature. He said that forcing a student into a field they have no taste for is a waste of their life and the teacher's time. When you compare your child to others, you are catching a virus that blinds you to their path. Always filter.

When family members start bragging about their kids' grades, you must be the shield. Tell them, "My child is mastering the art of (so so and so)." You are teaching your child that success is not a single ladder. There are many ladders to it. And if you do not value their ladder, they will stop climbing.

(4) Prioritize Character Building. Put more efforts to praise your kids for their good character. Always tell them you love them when they behave well or show good character. Character recognition helps the child build a good self-image, which translates into self-confidence and barrier-breaking for the child. Prioritise this.

(5) Don’t underestimate the power of your words. Always pray to God to grant them their opening. The scholars taught that the "opening" is a gift from Al-Fattah (The Opener). Supplicate.

In your Sujud or in your prayers, stop asking for them to be a doctor/engineer, and what have you. Ask for the door that was made for them to be opened. Ask Him to show you the Fath so you can stop pushing them against a closed wall.

Always remember, a parent who finds the "Fath (The Opening)" for their child has given them a gift better than a degree. You have given them a purpose. Start that journey NOW. It’s never too late…

Thank you for your attention.

Allah knows best.

If 300+ people died and 1,000+ got injured in any place in the world.

London, NYC, Dubai, Toronto, Paris or any "major city" everyone would be screaming TERRORISM.

But when that HAPPENS within 10 minutes in an afternoon in Beirut, Lebanon by Israel suddenly the world switches up.

Disgusting.
