1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.

3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"

4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"

5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.

6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.

7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85

This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.

“Frank Edoho had to call me himself and we spoke for about 30 minutes. A grown man like him almost cried because of the pain he was feeling from the media backlash. His wife cheated on him, he caught her the first time, she confessed, they settled it and moved on. She allegedly went back to the same person again. He started noticing signs, confronted her, but she refused to confess, and he decided he was done if she wasn’t going to tell the truth.”

Mr. Bigg's did not diê because Nigerians stopped eating fast food. They diéd because they forgot what they were actually selling.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, taking your family to Mr. Bigg's was the ultimate middle-class flex.

They owned the market. They had the first-mover advantage, the backing of a massive conglomerate (UAC), and the legendary recipe for the best meat pie in the country.

But then, they fell into The Franchise Trap (Reckless Scaling).

Here is the "Real Thing" that happened:

In a rush to dominate every single corner of Nigeria, Mr. Bigg's heavily adopted the franchise model. They licensed their name to independent business owners across the country.

On paper, this looked like genius. Rapid expansion using other people's money.

But franchising has one brutal, unbreakable rule: Your quality control must be a dictatorship. Mr. Bigg's failed to enforce this. The brand lost its grip on the steering wheel.

Suddenly, a meat pie in Ikeja tasted completely different from a meat pie in Ilorin.

Franchisees who wanted to save money on diesel started turning off their generators, leaving customers sweating in the dining halls.

To cut costs, some outlets started serving stale food and using cheaper ingredients.

The customer didn't care that the outlet was owned by "Mr. Kunle." The customer only saw the Mr. Bigg's logo.

While Mr. Bigg's was bleeding trust, hungry, agile competitors like Chicken Republic and Sweet Sensation entered the market. They didn't just bring better aesthetics; they brought military-level consistency.

When the economy got tougher, competitors innovated with aggressive, affordable combo meals (like the "Refuel" meal), while Mr. Bigg's remained stubborn, resting on their "Pioneer" prestige.

They thought their brand name would save them, but a hungry customer has no loyalty to a fading memory.

Why am I telling you this?

Many of you are obsessed with "scaling."

You have one successful small business, and immediately you want to open three new branches, or license your product, or hire a massive team to run it for you.

You think scaling means getting bigger. It doesn't.

Scaling means reproducing consistency.

If you cannot guarantee that the customer experience in your second branch will be exactly as magical as the first branch, do not open it.

If your internal systems cannot police your quality, rapid expansion will just distribute your failure faster.

Do not scale a broken system. You are just building a bigger tombstone.

I hope you learned something.

Need help building iron-clad internal systems so your brand can scale without losing its soul?

The killings in Nigeria isn’t just the prosecution of Christians. It is the prosecution of multiple groups; we should be careful not to portray it as just prosecution of Christians; that would be simplistic, says U.S Representative Pramila Jayapal.

What is the purpose of the carnival that brings the world to a pause, showcasing Nigeria's rich culture in a positive light? The "Ojude Oba" festival in Ijebu Ode amazes me. As a son of the soil through my mother, I'm fascinated by this tradition that began with 4-6 Muslim families: Alase, Sote, Kuku, Otubu, and Alatise. Every third day after the Muslim holiday "Ileya," these families gather to honor the king, celebrating a peaceful year. The chosen family member rides a horse while drummers use their instruments to speak metaphorically to other families.

This carnival has been organized annually since the current king, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, ascended the throne in 1960, making it 64 years. Despite this long standing tradition, Ijebu Ode still lacks basic needs, and the conditions of Oke-Aje and Ita-Ilé markets continue to deteriorate. Let me explain.#mixofusng

Dear Shawn (@CoachShawnMar), there’s no world record without you. Together, for 60 hours, we showed the world what true collaboration means, trumping competition. We picked each other up during tough moments, both mentally and physically. And you did it with so much grace.

This is a public acknowledgment and gratitude to you, my brother. Congratulations on our shared achievement.
