Kepa-Sarri fever everywhere😅 Rizespor's Léonard Kweuke ignored his manager's instruction to not take a penalty. Then told the manager to "f**k off" after scoring!

I doubt you would have been a medical doctor if your first 30 years was in the UK. You definitely won't have been able to afford it or would been indebted to the government of the UK to the tunes of over 70k pounds. In your 30yrs in Nigeria, the government subsidized your education and made it easy for you to earn the capital with which you embark on your 6yrs journey in the UK. The 30yrs in 9ja gave you a solid foundation upon which your growth in the UK was built. You should be smart enough to know this but social media validation trumps intelligence most times.

I took this photo of Shola and Ezra before Paystack announced their first round. Years later, Stripe acquired Paystack for over $200M. I took this photo of Tosin before Moniepoint raised a single dollar. Today, they’ve raised over $200M and are valued at more than $1B. I took this photo of Madam Funke Opeke before the big MainOne exit. Equinix acquired MainOne for $320M. I took this photo of GB on his first day as CEO of Flutterwave. Today, Flutterwave has raised over $470M and is valued at $3B. Recently, I saw a tweet that said: “Most successful founders have an unfair advantage. They all know each other.” Here’s what people don’t see. Many of us met when there was no money. No valuations. No press. No hype. We were hustling through Lagos traffic to hackathons and tech events. Showing up at meetups with more ambition than resources.  Building relationships without calculating ROI. We weren’t thinking about leverage. We were building community. Years later, those same relationships became partnerships, investments, boards, and Million-dollar outcomes. Yes, privilege exists.  But long before the headlines, there was proximity. There was consistency. There was shared struggle. If you’re early in your journey, don’t underestimate the people around you today. The founder you’re brainstorming with. The engineer you’re building side projects with. The operator grinding quietly. You don’t know who they’ll become. And more importantly you don’t know who you’ll become together. Build real relationships. Not just transactions. That’s the long game.
