I died on the operating table but doctors were still trying to save my life.

I was floating downward and everything was pitch dark as I was beginning to have an out of body experience. It seemed tranquil before I remembered that I was leaving behind a grieving husband and...

Keep the promises you make to yourself.

It also explains why employers can receive hundreds of applications and still struggle to find someone with the precise skills required. Nigeria simultaneously has many educated people looking for work and a shortage of properly trained, job-ready candidates for specialised roles.

African writers really trusted teenagers to process grief, colonialism, betrayal, tradition and identity… all in one school term.

This is why they do things like this. Access.

Their people will be suffering like this but as long as they can wear bow tie and sing for “presdent,” all is well.

The only reason anything exceptional happens is because someone keeps applying force past the point where a rational person would stop.

Selling Akara is fine for temp job gaps and local stability. Hawking kulikuli - low productivity per worker. The informal sector will not drive long term growth.

Is this what folks in growing economies argue about. Not how to shift more people into higher-productivity roles?

I’ll raise you one better. I was talking to an Indian at a bar in Shanghai. He’d flown in from North America, on his way to Delhi for a quick visit. Mid-conversation, he asked how I spoke such good English.

🙃 “We were colonized by the same Empire. Do you not know this?"

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

I always struggled with this, and one day, I asked someone in America why he thought I would not speak English well, as I was from an English-speaking country. His response was, "I didn't know Nigeria was English-speaking. I just assumed you had a foreign education and learned English."

These guys have no clue about the Commonwealth and British global colonialism. They also expect us to speak like Asians with strong accents and are surprised when we don't.

[Topz @tophz_]

I discovered a life hack by accident. A relative insulted me, and I missed it. I just kept being nice to him, so he insulted me again. He ended up stopping the conversation to let me know I was supposed to be insulted. It bothered him that I didn't react. You know what…?

We’re slowly getting used to an insane amount of violence. Levels of violence that are unprecedented. We’re seeing children whipped and burnt and we’re scrolling.

This one of the reasons women make a better client during divorce matter, they keep receipts like mad and they have your work set out for you. After the first meeting you already know under which grounds you are bringing the petition, with men you go dey hustle grounds 😭😭.

Some people ended April still planning.

Our investors ended it with 97% YTD returns in Equity funds.

Not a bad way to close the month, tbh.

Be strong and bold enough to take your place in the world.

Just watched a video where a woman writer shared how her mum came over to help. Her mum did all the housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and childcare so she could focus. During her mum’s stay, writer TRIPLED her daily word count.

Then she said something that hit hard.
Most men have this kind of support their entire lives. Next time you call a man productive, consider that.

Damn. Still letting it sink in.
