Successful Black men are online. They just avoid lifestyle (flex) content. Surgeons discuss medicine, engineers discuss tech. Even the black cofounder of twitch barely talks streaming he focuses on VC/startups.
Confusing lifestyle content with success is part of the problem.
*Coastal Road: Dave Umahi is Living in Bondage*
Dr Ugo Egbujo.
Someday a tribunal will sit on the coastal road project
Nothing can be hidden under the sun
A president awarded a multi trillon naira project to his business partner
The project had barely started
When they suddenly discovered there were telecom lines on the route
A multi trillion naira project
No surveys
No tender. No bidding . No costing
And the minister wouldnt answer any questions
The minister had said the contractor would source all the money
Then he changed and said the country would contribute 15-30%
He wasnt even sure of the exact percentage contribution
Then suddenly the FG threw over a trillion into the project
When a yound lady dared to ask if there was an environmental impact assessment
Umahi mocked her
Two weeks later Umahi said they didnt know there were telecom lines on their path
Rufai Oseni asked what the cost per kilometer was
Umahi dismissed the legitimate question as illiterate
A few days later Unahi announced that he scope of the project had been reduced
It was no longer a total of 10 lanes .
It would now be six lanes. Just like that
The entire thing was arbitrary , haphazard, shifty
When Obi said the road was a wrong priority for a country whose existing roads were crumbling
Saying the road would require 30 years for completion
Tinubu and his men scoffed at him
When Amaechi said he would stop the road and fix the East West road first
They mocked him
Now Umahi has childishly confessed that the day Tinubu approved the re routing of the road to the East West road was the best day of his life
Guy must have be living a miserable life
A few days ago he had told us that he chose the project and chose the contractor without any prompting from Tinubu
He wanted to fool us into believing that Tinubu didnt award the contrat to his business partner
If the best day of his life is now the day Tinubu agreed to a partial discontinuation of the coastal road
Then Umahi has been living in bondage all the while
But the joke is on the clown
Because
Almost the entire country knew that Tinubu was only interested in the lagos Ogun corridor
And he wasn't going to complete no coastal road 🤣😢
If my son comes to visit your daughter and you slap him like this, I will jail you for a long time!
If you made a video of it, I will jail you for that video separately

In 1975, Steve Jobs told Steve Wozniak that Atari had paid them $700 for a game they built together. He handed Woz a check for $350.
Atari had actually paid Jobs about $5,000.
In the video below, Woz says: "Who cares about money? Well, you do care about friendship and honesty."
Jobs was working the night shift at Atari. The company wanted a new arcade game called Breakout, built with as few chips as possible.
Jobs couldn't build it. Woz could. He already had a full-time job at Hewlett-Packard, and Jobs said they had four days. Woz went four days with no sleep. Both of them came down with mono.
Woz did it in 45 chips. Atari's own engineers were using 150 or more.
He took his $350 and was happy with it. Jobs took the rest and went up to Oregon to buy into a farm.
About ten years later, Woz read the real number in a book about Atari. By then the two of them had built Apple, and Woz was a multimillionaire.
If Jobs had just told him he needed the money, Woz says, "I would say take it all."
It wasn't the last time. Before Apple went public in 1980, Jobs refused to give stock options to Daniel Kottke, his friend since college, who had helped build the first Apple computers.
Woz did the opposite. He sold his own shares cheaply to Kottke and other early employees who had been left out.
One friend kept almost all of a $5,000 bonus. The other gave away millions.
Was Jobs a genius who knew what business takes, or just a bad friend?
Today I learned about the All Souls examination, which is reputed to be the hardest exam in the world.
To even be considered, you need to have a degree from, or be a current graduate student of Oxford.
Hundreds of people sit and only two people pass every year.
Attached is last year's general exam.
Before I saw it, I wondered, how hard could it be.
Well, it turns out…it's "Defend ghosting.", "Does a pope matter?", and "Is body language a language?" hard:
Today I interviewed a candidate who had a flawless resume.
At the end of the interview, I offered him a glass of water. He took a sip, but didn't say "thank you."
I immediately rejected his application.
If you can’t show basic gratitude for a free resource, how can I trust you with my company’s budget?
I built a game we grew up playing in Nigeria.
Small pitch, tiny posts, no keeper. Just dribbling, passing, shooting and trying not to get cooked.
