Your ambition has a bottleneck and it is probably not talent. It may be sleep. It may be fear of visibility. It may be a need for approval. It may be poor energy. It may be a belief that effort should feel dramatic. Find the constraint. A system only moves as fast as its tightest point.
Dear @wizkidayo,
As you prepare to bless the world with your new album, I have just one humble request. Out of all the things I could ask for, I am not asking for money, fame, or any personal gain. The only favor I wish to ask is that you consider having a collaboration with Taylor Swift on your upcoming project.
Music has the power to bring people together, and a collaboration between you and Taylor Swift would be something truly special. It would unite different audiences, cultures, and musical styles, creating a moment that fans around the world would never forget. Your creativity, sound, and global influence combined with Taylor's songwriting and artistry could produce something remarkable.
As a fan, I have always admired your ability to break boundaries and take Afrobeats to the international stage. You have consistently shown the world that African music belongs on the biggest platforms, and you continue to inspire millions of people through your talent and hard work.
So, if I could ask for only one thing, it would be this: please consider giving us a Wizkid and Taylor Swift collaboration on your new album. I do not need money or any other reward. Seeing two incredible artists come together to create history through music would be more than enough.
No matter what direction the album takes, I will continue to support your journey and celebrate your success. Thank you for all the music, memories, and inspiration you have given to your fans over the years.
Much love and respect, always. ❤️🦅
— A loyal fan

That’s the whole problem. If it costs $600m to win, then power becomes an investment and every investment needs a return. That return comes out of public funds. We don’t elect leaders, we underwrite businessmen.
He’s a very interesting character. He lives and talks in the moment, no second thought whatsoever. It’s like he doesn’t let his brain imagine what happens in 2 seconds, that the future isn’t guaranteed because we’ve worked and planned for it.
Can’t blame him, he became successful off sheer grit and determination so much so he actually believes he can bend the future however he wants
He’s an epitome of how “be delusional” really works
According to the Stoics, you wake up with a set amount of energy every day. The whole game is noticing where it drains
Marcus Aurelius constantly reminded himself to stop pouring his into other people's opinions. Maybe the ones with the most energy aren't making more of it; they just stopped leaking it to the noise
The day venture capitalists, private equity firms, or serious entrepreneurs decide to enter and properly structure the industries many of us ndị Igbo believe we “control” through petty trading, that is the day we’ll realise that small-scale trading alone is not the path to long-term economic power.
Take the spare parts industry, for example. We dominate it today, but dominance without structure, innovation, manufacturing, technology, logistics, and capital is fragile, and we have none of that! The day someone builds an integrated system around it, distribution networks, warehousing, financing, e-commerce, data, and even local production, many of the Igbo traders who think they own the market will be pushed aside.
We should be praying that we are the ones building those structures, not waiting for outsiders to do it for us.
Trading creates income. Institutions create wealth. Industries create power!
This is why I think that judging this government absolutely on monetary and fiscal policies alone is unfair to the citizens.
How has these policies impacted the average Nigerian? Is the quality of life of the average Nigerian better today than it was in the last 2, 3, 4 years? Is the average Nigerian safer today than he/she was in 2015 and 2023?
If the answer is no, then there is no then the government has failed the average Nigerian.
Everyone is not a finance professional that will understand monetary policy
