I flew @delta so much I was Platinum until last year. Many western airlines send their worst planes to Africa but I didn't believe Delta would until now. This was by business class seat between JFK and Lagos. It was gross and so filthy my skin crawled and I broke out in hives.
Old video but message remains poignant to the FG!!!
Spending “wisely an well” is what the FG sorely lacks

Someone gifted my parents a new house today. It’s the single greatest thing anyone will ever do for me in this lifetime. Thank you
My mother worked as a cleaner in the same school I attended so I could get an education while my dad worked as a Danfo driver/bus conductor so we could feed and survive.
My greatest joy in life is to be able to give them both the life they truly deserve❤️
@OluyomiOjo I saw your tweet and I was wondering and also struggling with your perspective because I genuinely wanted to see it. I'm glad you're able to understand Paul's tweet for what it is.
In 2019, after interviewing a bunch of candidates for a different venture and being convinced that there was no way some of these people were university graduates E and C pulled me into a startup that we called https://t.co/yTfENc3FJk that was supposed to help employers ascertain the veracity of identity, certificates and certification.

After 22 months of operations, @chowdeck has finally delivered items worth over a billion Naira in a single month!
To think that earlier in March this year, we were celebrating delivering items worth a billion Naira since inception.
In recent times, I have had to think a lot about what we have built and the impact we have had.
This month, we have had over 1,300 active riders making an average of N55,000 weekly.
Sometimes, when I am having a bad day, I try to talk to a rider and each time I hear their stories, I am constantly reminded of how massive what we are building is. A lot of them are breadwinners of their families and we have really impacted a lot of lives.
Huge thanks to our customers, vendors, agents, riders, advisers and the amazing team that made this happen.
I am super pumped about the future of efficient on-demand delivery in Nigeria and Africa. The entire team is excited for the future!
It is still Day 0! 🚀🚀🚀
Being angry and staying permanently offended sometimes is just you deciding not to take responsibility for your own growth and actions.
Be a safe space.
A big part of feeling safe is to be with people who are centered, assured and grown!
Trauma response is unsustainable. Seeing life only through the lenses of your pain and experiences is limiting. Get on your healing journey and commit to the process.
Today I pray for you, that your feet will be on the ground, that you will find stability in God’s enduring love and through the establishment of his will, that you will be grounded in the knowledge of his purpose for your life and… https://t.co/mehobed6tP
You have the divine right to hold space in any conversation and in any room that you’re planted just because you are enough.
Have the most beautiful week!
