We hit a hugeee milestone ($100k yearly rev) earlier this week 🥹, and it’ll also be 6 years since LiveTrackz started in a couple weeks 🥳

To be honest It’s been really stressful this year to stay on top of everything but… man we prayed for times like this!!

[Deji @DaveDeji]

👨🏾‍💻 1000 ?!!

Can’t believe a thousand people find value in this to pay for it every month… and it all started from an annoyance with existing options and a udemy course on swift development

The downside with witnessing people you respect build stuff on X… making you wonder what on earth you’re doing 😂

Roasting corn and kuli-kuli as hope renewed. Where drones are changing warfare. Where women are leading regional politics driving change. In world where we are talking about how AI is changing industry. These people despise Nigerians. I am just thinking of the wife of the German Chancellor saying they have provided grants for women to start selling schnitzel and currywurst as part of the Chancellor's agenda of renewed hope.

Before I built my first app I was depressed. My business had just collapsed. My cars were repossessed, I was $200k in debt and behind in rent.

There was one day where I tried to commit su!cide twice

First attempt I walked to the train tracks and was going to throw myself. But I talked myself down. Had a moment of clarity:

I want to be here for my kids

This pain is hard but I can endure it for them

I got home and the thoughts didn’t stop. I made a plan again. This time with rope in the garage.

I prayed for the first time in my life and I asked God for help. I was at the lowest point I had ever been.

That night I ended in hospital. They put me in a psyche ward for the night to make sure I didn’t follow through with what I was talking about.

And that night the guy next to me had 2 visitors. Alan and Maria. The people who saved my life.

They talked with this guy who was clearly drug affected. They didn’t know him. But they wanted to help him. They wanted to be there for him when nobody else was.

They talked about Jesus and I remembered what I prayed for. For help.

And I asked them to tell me about this Jesus guy. I grew up in an atheist household who mocked religious types.

Everyone in my life up until that moment always wanted something from me. These were the first people who talked with me, opened their home to me, invited me to their church

And I saw something was different about them. The life I was living was hedonistic. It was getting as much as I could from the world at the expense of anyone and everyone.

But they gave. Freely. Openly. With nothing expected in return. And their life was the complete opposite of mine. They were blessed. They were at peace.

I wanted whatever they’ve got.

Since 2019 I’ve been following the path of Jesus and learning as I go. And I don’t feel you need to preach it or ram it down people’s throats. You just live the way of Christ. And people will notice.

My app business started as self expression with no intention of paying down debts or making it full time.

But this little journey has netted me over $1.7m, has substantially increased the quality of my family’s life, and has allowed me to live debt free.

When I started videos on YouTube my intention was never to make money. It was purely to share what I’ve learned.

To reach others in that same spot I was in 2019. Sometimes I don’t have all the answers. But if I can just be there for people that’s enough.

To hear these stories of people taking my advice and building their own wealth, to provide for their family and to escape debt. It really validates the reason I am still here.

I’m sorry to hijack Steven’s post. And it might be that we have another baby due any day now (and I’m reflecting a lot on life)

But it was on my heart and I wanted to share.

Last night, in about 2 hrs, I built a Claude review agent for my iOS repo using @twostraws ’s SwiftUI-pro skill.

Sooo easy to spin up things like these now with AI.

Ran out of GitHub AI credits reviewing all the PRs btw, that’s why I looked into this.

Time to start tweeting about building again ? 🙃

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Wealth that ends with you isn't wealth. It's a high income with an expiry date. Your children should not start from scratch. That's the whole point.
