This doesn’t just apply to relationships. It applies to friends, family, even your parents.
Start giving your parents a monthly allowance and stop later because you’re broke, they’ll resent you. That gateman you give money to every day, the moment you stop, he’ll resent you too.
A gift is not supposed to be steady or predictable. Once it becomes expected, it stops being a gift and becomes an obligation.
Don’t start what you can’t sustain. Even good intentions become harmful in excess.
🪂Starting a new round of airdrops🪂:
Since each transfer costs me over $1 in fees, please don’t submit multiple addresses. This token has zero value, it’s just a test on the new protocol, purely for fun.
imo what actually has value is $TAC, the first token on the Tacit protocol, etched by Tacit’s founder Ross. Besides, other tokens like $pizza have zero value, they’re just for fun. So please don’t submit multiple addresses, as it will cost me extra transfer fees each time😂
Excited to support the Embodied Reasoning in Action Workshop + Hackathon at @CVPR this year with @nvidia and @cortexairobot.
If you’re working on real-world manipulation, this is a strong opportunity to learn from leading researchers and share your work.
The system works when you call the managers to order asserting your rights as a citizen. My encounter with IBEDC that has saved me over ₦800,000 in power bills.
About a week ago, I wrote angrily to IBEDC via dm. Prior to sending the text, I had recorded a voice message via their helpline detailing how they were running a scam with supply in my estate. I was really upset and I threatened a class action suit 😅.
They responded and asked for my details.
Then yesterday, to my surprise, I bought light and I was billed ₦32/kWh against the ₦225/kWh that we pay per unit. With ₦140,000, I got over 4,000 units. Before now, it would have cost me over ₦900,000 to get 4k units.
Here’s the background: I live in an area placed on Band A. We have very stable light, guaranteed minimum of 20hrs daily and light will always be on overnight.
However, for over two weeks, we had no overnight supply, and total daily supply dropped to about 12 hours or less. At one point, we had no power for 48 hours, the worst experience in seven years here.
So out of frustration, I escalated the issue through their official channels. I explained that I had documented supply hours over the past two months and that it clearly provided grounds for legal action, especially since Band A comes with obligations. If those aren’t met, the feeder is meant to be downgraded so customers aren’t charged premium tariffs unfairly until whatever issue they had is fixed.
So I got a call yesterday, and boom. I paid wayyyyy less for an improved supply (18hrs since then). Everyone in the community will also benefit from the action.
Know your rights and put the system to the test, the people at the backend (especially service providers) get away with a lot because we don’t escalate issues through appropriate channels.
If you want to make serious money, understand that you’re competing with people who already have capital, networks, and leverage.
You’re not just competing on skill. You’re competing on resources.
That’s why trying to do everything alone is a disadvantage. You need strong relationships, solid partnerships, and people who can lock in, share knowledge, and move faster with you.
“I don’t have friends” is not a flex.
“I don’t like asking for help” is even worse.
Because the people you’re competing with are collaborating, pooling resources, and accelerating each other.
You don’t win big alone.
