Seizure of Presidential Jets- An International Embarrassment.

The trending international news on the seizure of three Jets belonging to Nigeria’s Presidential fleet is yet another of many embarrassing things exposing our failed leadership and our attitude to the rule of law even

['Fisayo Soyombo @fisayosoyombo]

In these @fijnigeria videos, IBD Dende, the most notorious smuggler in the South West, can be seen threatening to kill a Customs officer who seized his smuggled goods.

The officer he would have harmed had he not been restrained is an Assistant Superintendent of Customs.

Some puzzling points about these videos:

1.Despite wielding guns, all the Customs officers in the footage can be seen pacifying Dende. Why? Same trigger-happy Customs? "All the Customs officers with guns you see in those videos are his boys," one source told FIJ.

2.Dende can also be seen bragging: “Ejigbunu is the one I called.” “Ejigbunu bring it [the smuggled goods] in. ‘Ejigbunu’ here is Hussein Ejigbunu, Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit Zone A. FIJ previously highlighted his role in the smuggling of unchecked items, including terrorist bicycles and tramadol, into northern Nigeria.

3. Dende can be seen ordering the receiver at the other end of the phone: “Call Wale, call Wale.” The said 'Wale' is Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, a Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) and current Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC)!

4. Dende questioned the Customs officer for not stopping their bosses’ trailers of rice being smuggled in from Seme. Confirms what I’ve always said: senior Customs officers are among Nigeria’s biggest smugglers.

Well done Musa

[Musa Dawa @Dawa911]

Musa is an inspiration to himself, some asked: "What would he do after resigning from @HQNigerianArmy to campaign for Obi". Today, Musa is selling beans for household consumption only at 4k for 3kg and making 10x the government palliative. Help Musa grow with a repost.

Even as I am still studying the 2024 fiscal budget as presented to the National Assembly last week, I cannot wait as I am compelled to ask : what is exactly wrong with us as a country?

Tomorrow would make it a week my two brothers aged 19 and 8 were kidnapped. They are my only siblings. Words can’t even describe the pain and torture this past week has been. Please keep my family in your prayers.

2 months ago, I heard that a founder was paying himself $15k monthly, the company packed up. This past weekend, I heard another founder was paying himself $50,000 monthly, the company packed up. Both of them, on investor funds. Like many people like me who invest in and/or back early stage companies, I was horrified if I’m being honest. I think it’s about time we begin to talk about what it really takes to build successful companies.

I’ve recently found that there are really only a few founders in Africa who set out to solve real problems and create thriving businesses, others are just offering “entrepreneurship as a service” (EaaS). They set out to solve their own problem, poverty.

Whenever a founder, director or owner doesn’t understand or practice the principles of ‘delayed gratification’, the death of whatever they’re building is around the corner. Cash flow in business is like blood in your body, once there’s an area of serious bleeding, death could become inevitable.

For context, I founded my first company in 2011. It broke even & became profitable within 15 months. The company was unbelievable liquid by year 2 ending, but I (the founder) wasn’t. I didn’t have an office or earn a constant monthly salary. My then two senior managers earned more than me, this is still a practice in many of my companies today. I pay exec hires more than I pay myself, if at all I earn anything.

Call me an old school entrepreneur, but I don’t like paper valuation. I like:

1. Strong balance sheet
2. Healthy cashflow
3. Frugality (keep cost down at all costs)

I am brutal with cost. I do not like to run a company like I’m Santa, spending like there’s no tomorrow. Now as a fund manager, this means I’m able to return higher ROI to my investors than your favorite hedge fund managers; because of the low cost of running our funds.

Whether it’s fintech or farmland, the principles behind starting, growing and scaling a company are the same. Break them and they will hunt you down!

What is Chicago State University hiding? Have they allowed themselves to be corrupted? Why has the 1979 yearbook been wiped from their website?
