Two guys had the same question about a real-world event.
Same curiosity, same interest in finding the answer.
They both wanted to take a position on what would happen, but there was no market for it.
So the first guy did what most of us would do:
→He tweeted his question on X and sparked a debate.
The second guy had the same question, but instead of leaving it as a conversation:
→He turned it into a live market that he could earn from on https://t.co/NHcuR8gJBE.
Months later,
One had just a conversation, while the other earned as liquidity flowed into his market.
The big difference?
The second guy knew about @PantaHQ, the other guy didn't.
Walk with me. 🧵👇🏽
Young people with zero sense of agency. Ughhhhh!!!!
It is actually very disturbing that a young person cannot just google basic things and set themselves up.
It’s everything you must join a Telegram group for. You cannot exercise your own critical thinking, you just always outsource it to others.
You’ll see someone mention an opportunity on Twitter, and you’re in the comments asking for the link a million times. Meanwhile, someone with a higher sense of agency has googled it, found the link, read the requirements, and probably started applying.
“This mercor thing I’m seeing online, somebody should dm me the link.”
Ehrr…Google it? Ask ChatGPT? Search Twitter? Anything?
You cannot apply for visa yourself. Not that you don’t have time o, you’re just not sure how to do it and have zero willingness to do what’s necessary to learn. You need an agent or a “plug” or WhatsApp group for the most basic things. What’s going on?
You cannot just sit down, read, research, follow instructions, and figure things out without somebody holding your hand? Later, you’ll be angry that somebody is charging you ₦20k to join a WhatsApp group. Since you’ve decided not to take control of your own affairs nko?
You either develop a sense of agency in your life, or keep paying those who have developed theirs. Simple.
But if it’s a new social media feature, you’ll figure that one out. Please do better for yourself. Take control of your own life.
Before you ask, first ensure you actually have exhausted all the options available to you. “Is it not easier to ask?” Not when that’s your default response everytime!
Learn to research. Learn to navigate unfamiliar systems. Learn to read instructions. Learn to make informed decisions. Learn to figure things out even when nobody is available to guide you.
Train your own brain. Bruh. Be intellectually independent.
It is how to go far in life, faster.
I remember having a conversation with Esiaga at the beginning of the year. I was telling him how badly I wanted to go into trading, and he asked, “You can make money in this industry. Why are you looking somewhere else?”
I didn't take it seriously then, but I think I finally understand what he meant.
Looking back, bounties & internship genuinely changed the trajectory of my career. It opened doors, gave me opportunities, and introduced me to a creative space I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I'm ridiculously grateful.
And honestly, I'm going to do amazing things next year.
When I say next year, it's because, omoh, I'm mentally done with 2026. I've hit my targets, and I just want to focus on my 9–5, make money quietly on the side, and prepare myself for everything I'm stepping into in January.
There's a lot coming, and I want to be ready.
If you go through my portfolio, you'll realize that Superteam, Superteam, Superteam was my stepping stone into Web3 and the creative industry.
I'm genuinely grateful to @Nonso_Obiefule and @NzubeEzudo , who gave me opportunities when all I really had was zeal and a willingness to learn.
I didn't have it all figured out. I still don't. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever feel like I've done enough. I'll just keep showing up and giving every project my best.
But I'm reflecting on how far I've come, and I'm realizing that I need to be just as loud with my gratitude as these people have been with their support.
I will never take that for granted.
when i saw the @Gamdom video contest, i knew i wanted to participate, but i wasn't sure what to create.
so i decided to put my crochet skills to work. 😭🧶
7 days, 3 nights, and a whole lot of stitches later, here's my handmade Gamdom shirt!
