If Temu now remove Nigeria from their app bcos of unethical behavior like this, you’ll be the same people crying that your family & friends abroad refused to provide their IDs/addresses so you could order from Temu since you’re banned.
Smh. 💀

I have been hiring over the last 16 years at the most basic entry levels as a business owner. In many cases, all we ask for are basic numeracy, ability to communicate in English, willingness to learn, and a decent work ethic. Yet today, we sometimes interview more than 30 candidates before finding 1 or 2 suitable hires for a basic role in a QSR-type environment, not even mid-level, not to talk of senior executive roles.
These are candidates who have completed secondary school, some have ONDs, or some type of higher education. Yet most still struggle with numeracy (like counting, addition, unit conversion), communication, comprehension, and basic problem-solving skills.
In my short experience, it was not always like this. When we started business, we saw people start from the kitchen or shop floor and grow into branch managers. We even had team members rise into senior operational leadership, because there was a stronger foundation to build on. Today, that foundation appears weaker and weaker.
So when Moniepoint’s CEO spoke about the difficulty of finding talent, I understood exactly what he meant. However, the conversation quickly became emotional because many people are already frustrated by unemployment, ‘low wages,’ and the general economic hardship, then the yahoo+hookup comments didn’t help either. But beyond the emotions and the extra comments that seemed to have caused distractions, there is a real issue that needs to be confronted.
Yes, businesses have responsibilities to improve wages, work environments, and employee development etc. But businesses do not operate in isolation; they function within the realities of the wider economy. Small businesses, medium-sized businesses, and large corporations all need access to capable talent at different levels for the economy to truly grow.
The recent announcement from JAMB triggered this piece. We cannot continue to lower standards while expecting higher outcomes. Instead of seriously interrogating and fixing declining results, JAMB has moved to adjust the benchmark downward. If we continue on this trajectory, the consequences will show up again in another 10 to 15 years.
And I hope that by 2040, another CEO will not be standing on stage lamenting how much worse things have become, compared to 2026.
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
