I am a very modest person.
I want to retire with N1B.
Invest the money with 20% interest, which is N200M yearly. Translates to N16M monthly.
I will live off N6M monthly and reinvest N10M every month.
This is a 10-year plan
Ekiti State authorities have reportedly arrested AYODELE BABALOLA for exposing the terrible condition of roads across the state. A party that goes after citizens for speaking up instead of fixing problems has completely failed the people. APC is a disgraceful political party.
@VershimaT@LabanMbunya Positioning is bad as its in the direction of the wind of that area and proper size of guide angle should always be used
But this is AI tho
My father's best friend was a man called Uncle Bayo who disappeared from our lives without explanation. I was 12 the last time I saw him. He came to our flat in Gbagada, argued with my father in the bedroom for an hour, and walked out without saying goodbye to me. My father never spoke his name again. Neither did my mother. Uncle Bayo became a silence with a shape.
Twenty-six years passed. I was in Philadelphia for a conference. A networking dinner at a hotel downtown. Across the room, a man about my father's age caught my eye and held it too long. He approached me during dessert and said my surname like it was a question he already knew the answer to.
We sat in the hotel lobby until 2am. He told me the story my father never did. They had started a construction company together in the early 90s. It had failed because of a contract dispute with a senator. The senator had paid only half the money and refused the rest. The debt had crushed them. Uncle Bayo had blamed my father for trusting the senator. My father had blamed Uncle Bayo for not reading the fine print. The friendship had shattered. Two men who had been closer than brothers had become strangers over something neither of them could control.
Uncle Bayo had moved to America after the falling out. He had built a new life, a new business, a small contracting firm in West Philly. He had married a Ghanaian woman and had two daughters. He had never returned to Nigeria. He had never called my father. He had assumed the silence was mutual.
I asked why he approached me now. He said he recognised my face because I looked like my father at 30. He said he had been waiting for decades to see that face again, to explain something that was never about betrayal. He said the argument had been about shame, not money. Both men had felt they failed each other. Neither had known how to say it.
I called my father from the hotel room. It was 3am in Lagos. He answered on the second ring, voice thick with sleep and alarm. I told him who I was sitting with. The line went quiet. Then my father did something I had never heard him do. He cried. Not softly. The kind of crying that comes from a place words cannot reach.
Uncle Bayo flew to Lagos 3 months later. They met at the same flat in Gbagada. They sat in the same living room where the argument had happened. They didn't re-litigate the past. They just sat together, two old men with white hair and matching hypertension medication, and let the silence heal.
My father died last year. Uncle Bayo spoke at the funeral. He said the greatest thief in life is not money or failure. It is the belief that there is always more time.
Call them. The debt is not theirs. It is yours.
A car hire deal gone wrong:
In December 2024, someone called expressing interest to hire a car. As always, we did ID checks & paperwork.. They took the car for the agreed period. They made a payment, called later and advised they would extend the rental which wasn’t an issue..
Wike entered a site in katampe with bulldozer and destroyed an ongoing project. My friend, an engineer working at the site plus the investors fell sick immediately till now. Project worth a billion. Money gone. All the paperwork was complete! I designed it.
God will punish APC.

*In 1951 a politician bought a horse for a race at £50,000. The seller agreed to deliver the horse the next day.*
In the morning of the next day, he drove up and said: "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The horse is dead."
The politician replied: "Well, just give me my money back then."
The seller said: "Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it." The politician said: "OK, then, just bring me the dead horse."
The farmer asked: "What are you going to do with it?"
The politician said: "I’m going to raffle it off to the people as a speed horse that can win a race"
The seller responded: "You can’t raffle a dead horse."
Politician replied: "Sure, I can. Just watch me. You don't know the people, l will post wonderful pictures of a horse, I just won’t tell anybody it's dead. I will market it with propaganda and present it as capable of chasing criminals away"
A month later, the seller met up with the politician and asked: "What happened with that dead horse?"
Politician replied: "I raffled it off. I sold 1million tickets at £2 each and made a profit of £2m.
*The seller was dazed and asked: "Didn’t anyone complain?"*
*Politician said: "Just the guy who won. I told him the horse died on our way to deliver. So, I gave him back his £2 with apology. I told him l have refunded everyone. He consoled me and told me to keep it up that I am a good man.’ That, after all, I have suffered (a lot of loss). He prayed for me and called on God to bless me. Telling me that the country needs honest people like me to come and run for office".*
LESSON
*Dem don dey arrange demselves. The political raffle ticket will soon be back to sell to people another dead horse in 2027*
