In some cultures it is considered rude to look a person directly in the eye; in others it is rude not to. At times it is polite to keep a distance when talking; in my opinion, tradition values savouring the fragrance of a friend's breath. An attempt to observe a polite distance could be construed as a sign of aloofness.

Shouting is often less about being loud and more about feeling unheard. When emotional regulation drops, the brain shifts into survival mode, volume rises as an attempt to regain control, not necessarily to improve communication.

Those of you paying for WhatsApp subscription, is it worth it?

People who think tech is about a 45-inch screen and an ergonomic chair have never experienced the spiritual journey of fixing bugs.

Him: “I want to learn coding.”

Me: “Great! First thing, get a 45-inch curved monitor.”

Two days later, you have installed call of duty.

One day, I’m going to send an email to Professor P.L.O Lumumba and Bishop Joshua Maponga not to ask for anything, but simply to say thank you.

Thank you for choosing knowledge over noise, wisdom over popularity, and truth over convenience.

Their speeches have challenged minds, inspired leaders, and reminded a generation of Africans that our greatest resource is not what lies beneath our soil, but what lies within our people.

Whether you agree with them on every issue or not, their commitment to critical thinking, leadership, history, and African development is impossible to ignore.

One annoying thing about LinkedIn posts is that many of them sound exactly the same.

The opening paragraph is often a replica of what everyone else is posting, and the closing paragraph usually follows the same predictable pattern.

Originality is becoming rare.

What exactly are you avoiding right now and why?

I remembered one time, someone asked me the name of my son. The moment I told him, the next thing he said was, "Why do you love Old Testament scriptures?" 😂

I guess I'm just a prophet. 😂

There is power in saying “NO.” The problem right now is that you see rejection as adversity.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is a fundamental principle of physics stating that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. It establishes the direction of natural processes and underlies the concept of irreversibility in nature.

Keji Giwa, take your flowers. 🌹

After listening to you on “The Truth About Business, Power & Survival” especially the perspective that “Nigeria Should Structure Corruption” I have to say, that was one of the most brutally honest and thought-provoking conversations I’ve heard in a while.

@BrGloba01 For one week, notice the negative thoughts without judging them (“I’m worthless” → “I’m having the thought that I’m worthless”). Write them down.

If you want to find out who you really are, start a business.

When you have a business, there's nowhere to hide. If you have money issues, you'll feel it. If you have low self-esteem, you'll feel it. If you can't handle confrontation, you'll feel it. If you can't focus, you'll feel it. If you want it to grow, you have to grow.

Lust is normal.

But when it starts controlling your mind, decisions, relationships, or peace, it may be a sign of something deeper.
