A MAN COMMITS SUICIDE EVERY MINUTE.
Men's health is a real thing.

You're not a failure.
You're not weak.
You too matter.

There will always be those who call it luck..and name you lucky or chance. Allow them. You are the show. Let them watch. Keep working. Be and Do you. You’re almost there. They’ll doubt their doubts. More than that though, all doubts will morph into respect. True Respect. Honor your journey. Accept your story. Trust the future. Keep moving👊🏾👊🏾
Wigwe University will officially open it's doors to the public from August. The faculty members will be resuming fully on campus in July. The school so far is the most beautiful University Campus in Nigeria. The school is designed to be the first Ivy-League standard University from Africa. I love what i'm seeing.
The reason you have an MTN in Africa today is not because a poor boy from South Africa got VC funding and became a billionaire. I know some others try to force a similar narrative but it is not true.
People gained experience, put together plans, and then got investors. No magic. Each base station was built one site acquisition and equipment deployment at a time. Financing was tough but they hired the best to get it.
You just have to work or create work. It is in the creating work that we end up building the things that likely become venture scale. Scale builds upon scale and we have very few things already at scale. Scale is not built upon dreams and wishes but upon solid ground first.
I remember my observations the first time I visited America. My cofounder Salil previously told me that America runs like a well oiled machine. Femi Edun also told me that they build scale by dumbing things down to the basics. I saw that both descriptions were true. The infrastructure exists to sell at scale and you dumb things down to sell more.
According to Ogilvy “we sell or else.” America always sells or else it is not America anymore. To be able to sell, there has to be a market to sell to. They created that market in many ways. Infrastructure, education, and advertising.
You can’t sell when you haven’t built. Prospecting for gold in California led to the great railroads. Mining solid minerals in Congo and Nigeria have only led to wars and terrorism.
In Africa, we build, or else…
Let us build and then sell. We can’t sell what we haven’t built yet. Building on cloud infrastructure far away and trying to provide services to those who don’t have access isn’t building.
The day it dawned on me that payments in Africa wasn’t a startup opportunity but an infrastructure play was the day the scales fell from my eyes. PayPal got licenses in 50 American states and not 50 countries before it started making a lot of money.
One African country will not deliver our version of PayPal without our version of EBay which can only happen because we have our version of UPS or FedEx and the logistics that support it. That is further built on universities and a prosperous middle class.
We don’t have to follow the same trajectory but one truth is evident. Scale builds upon scale. Let’s build scale carefully. We have wasted so much time and effort on trying to create magic on a continent where illusions lead to hunger and despair.
WATER4VITOs:
We will meet people as we journey through life. Yet, there are people of everyday contemporary life, and there are destiny and legacy sensitive people. Seek the latter. In doing so though, honor all. Everyone. Both the former and latter are in all rooms. No room is ordinary. Rooms are spiritual environments. All rooms. The same room can lift you, put you down or leave you as you came in, all depending on how you connect with it. Rooms are by default spiritual environments delegated by the divine to humans to architect. All rooms are curated by someone or some people; and all Rooms are a vetted environment always (whether the curator or its guest are aware or not). We are all selected. Our movements and appearances are scripts..providential mostly..but how we act in them are choices. Be assured that every room has the Onlookers and the Power Centers. Both are key participants. The temptation is always there to prioritize some and ignore others. We will each be shortsighted, naive and immature to fall for this. Don’t be fooled, over 80% of the room are a link to everything in the room as well as purposes beyond the room. The power and intelligence are rarely discerned or evidenced in how people look. You just never know. We will learn in rooms..but we take the power of the rooms with us when we take the contacts of everyone, as much as you can. In rooms, be conscious. The larger the room is, the more the brain and the logic it breathe fails. Only your spirit can navigate. This right here will be a critical growth and relevance factor for how our next 7yrs will play out. By December 31st night 2030, a decisive part of the size of your pocket, the wealth of your personal peace and the weight of your continuous legacy will be determined by the foolishness and queerness of living with purpose. Mystery and interpretation are best diluted with humility of soul. Pride and Arrogance are expired instruments in the future. Our humility will now be tested by how we see, hear, judge, interpret, decide and take useful action. The future does not belong to experts. Our tomorrow is in the hands of truth tellers and doers. Open your soul. Your next is around you.
Share this instruction and bless your corner of the world with this shift.
NB: VITOs is acronym for VERY IMPORTANT TOP OFFICERs.
@VusiThembekwayo Thank you very much 🙏, I can't wait.
I have watched all your avaliable master class on youtube, and I regularly check for more. Until I can afford club 100 I will keep watching and following, thank you for being a light bringer.
My people, it's crunch time. We have just 5 hours left to break a new world record for the longest chess marathon, and our mission to raise a million dollars for children's education has become our top priority. This is our purpose, our reason for being here.
Let's demonstrate to the world the incredible power of love. Together, we can make this happen.
