As we start a new month, I think I should share with you, again, an ancient secret that has transcended eras.

If you woke up this morning with clouds of palpitations, exhausted because your repeatable actions aren't fruiting -- you might want to open this.

Again, up to you.

One time Warren Buffet was invited to Columbia business school to debate Prof. Michael Jensen

The topic, to put it simply, was whether rich people are just lucky or there is a reason they are rich.

Prof Michael Jensen said if you give many people a coin to flip, few of them would flip head 20 times in a row

So, successful investors are just lucky winner of statistical theory.

Warren Buffet responded by saying if the few people who flipped the head 20 times in a row all came from the same exclusive club or group chat

Then you can’t say they got lucky, it’s a testament that there is something they know in that group chat that many others that failed did not know

Warren Buffet said, if you look at the people who are successful, they all know one another

They belong to the same friends group or grew up together in the same community.

This debate happened in 1984 and the lesson is still valid till date.

Rich people are rich because they work together.

I shared this negotiation strategy in 2023. Sharing again.

Two steps:

1. Pretend you didn’t have the full cash. Agree a payment plan of say 6 - 12 months. Negotiate fully and get as much general discount as possible. Seal the payment plan and pay deposit as required.

2. Go back after few days or weeks and say “Oga, you know what? I want to squeeze myself and empty my savings and possibly even borrow from friends to just pay the balance at a go, rather than over 6 -12 months. It’s not convenient but I just want to get this transaction closed. But I will like to request that you knock off N3m from the balance. Not convenient for me, but I may be able to run around and raise the funds within a week”

Most sellers will agree with this, having put their mind in receiving the balance in piecemeal over 6-12 months, now they want to give you at once. They may not give you the entire discount amount you asked for, but it works in high value transaction.

A friend I taught this negotiation strategy saved N8.5m in a purchase in 2023.

QUICK NOTE
I am glad Nigerians are engaged in discussions about the management of the economy, both fiscal and monetary. This matters even more as we head towards the polls, dealing with the gains, pains and fears of the reforms implemented thus far.

The post below is useful, but it also shows why economic issues require nuance beyond headlines. See...., the claim that the #IMF asked Nigeria to impose fuel and telecom taxes is substantially true, but incompletely framed. That framing may reflect the trust deficit that has built up over time with such statements, but we should not deepen it. We should help reduce it.

The IMF did not simply say “impose fuel and telecom taxes now.” In its 2026 Article IV Staff Report, it said Nigeria may need further tax policy changes over the medium term, including increasing VAT, extending VAT to fuel products, rationalising tax exemptions, and introducing telecom excises.

But it also added an important caveat. The timing of such reforms must consider poverty and food insecurity, and ensure that the cash transfer system is in place and funded.

Paragraph 20, Fiscal Policy, page 17, states:
“Further tax policy changes will likely be needed, such as increasing the VAT rate, extending VAT to fuel products, rationalising tax expenditures … and introducing telecom excises, to complement administrative gains. The timing of reforms must consider the poverty and food insecurity situation and ensure that the cash transfer system is in place and funded.”

See: https://t.co/bob1Omdcdb

The Executive Board summary also notes that additional tax policy measures may be needed over the medium term, including to fund a scaled-up cash transfer programme for vulnerable households.

Nigeria’s Executive Director also made the balancing point clear. The authorities are open to further tax policy adjustments, including possible VAT increases, VAT on fuel products, and telecom excises, but only when the cash transfer system is fully funded and operational, so the burden does not fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.

See: https://t.co/xPjiuUoL9j via @proshare

So, to the good people at @NigeriaStories, the “breaking news” version is not false. Perhaps, due to the editorial summary, it unwittingly overstated the message by omitting the IMF’s caveats on timing, sequencing, and social protection.

Without holding brief for the @IMFNews or the @NigeriaGov, and without prejudice to the wider debate on whether taxes are the right solution, the more accurate framing is this:
The IMF recommends that Nigeria consider further medium-term revenue measures, including extending VAT to fuel products and introducing telecom excises, but says timing should depend on poverty conditions and the readiness of funded cash-transfer protections.

My regards.

After watching this video, I now have an understanding of why the Nigerian military has a budget of over 400 billion and yet insecurities still have a place in the country.
I also understand why our corrupt leader squanders public funds and has the confidence that nobody will judge them.
Our heroes lied to us, they made us feel Abacha was the villain in the whole story.

The Nigerian military has been a scam right from the onset.

Sharing my PwC Assessment Centre experience for young graduates out there 💼
PwC graduate trainee programme is very competitive, but here’s what I learnt:
1. Arrive early, register fast and stay calm. It helps you settle in and observe the room.
2. ICAN certificate is NOT necessary, but having it really helps you stand out from other candidates. I had mine ready and it gave me an edge.
3. We had a one-on-one interview first before the group case study. Expect different questions — be ready for competency-based ones like “Tell me about a time you…” 😂
4. Then we were put in groups for case study and had to present solutions. They’re not just judging your answer — they watch how you collaborate, listen, build on others’ ideas, and show leadership.
5. Even if you’re not the main presenter, contribute actively. Assessors notice people who facilitate good discussion, not just the loud ones.
Extra tips that helped me:
1. Research PwC’s current focus areas (digital transformation, ESG, audit quality etc.) and tie your points to them.
2. Use simple frameworks like SWOT or “Issue → Impact → Recommendation” when speaking.
Only the top candidates get called for bootcamp. Treat every moment as part of the assessment — even during breaks.
Stay focused and good luck to every young graduate applying.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
