A windfall is not automatically wealth. It only becomes wealth when it starts protecting you, paying you, and improving your ability to earn.
If you somehow find yourself with ₦20M, ₦100M, ₦1.4B or any amount of money you've never received as a lump sum before, your job is simple:
Make sure no one in your bloodline ever has to ask this question again.
Do not just spend it. Convert it into a system.
Here's how to think about it🧵
My barber is fully booked for most days. He shaves about 10-15 guys a day. He charges 1k for a haircut, tax free.
His income is between 300-500k a month.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him driving a Porsche
I am honoured to succeed Senator Udoma as Chairman in January 2027 and to lead the Board through @SeplatEnergy ’s next phase of growth.
I firmly believe in the critical role indigenous resources play in the economic transformation of Nigeria and Africa, and Seplat’s culture of execution and governance aligns strongly with my own values.
I thank Senator Udoma and Roger for their stewardship and look forward to delivering further value for shareholders.
I also congratulate Mr. Okon on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer.
His deep industry experience gives me great confidence that @SeplatEnergy is well positioned for its next chapter of growth.

It wasn’t.
With rare exception, colonies were unprofitable, meaning more was spent building infrastructure like roads, railways, buildings, etc. than was exported.
And look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong. Both were colonies for a long time and yet they are extremely prosperous.
@OyoPoliceNG I hope all the police officers who will carry out these activities will wear full uniform so we can distinguish them from evil perpetrators

Yesterday, my wife and I visited a venue for a big event she is planning and decorating for a High Chief in Egbaland.
She was full of energy as we entered the hall. But the moment she stepped in, her countenance changed. She walked towards the front and suddenly froze for like 2mins.
From where I was standing, on a call, I noticed she was completely still, which is unusual for her when she is in work mode. So I walked up to her. The moment I looked at her face, I saw tears rolling down her cheeks with her lips moving in a prayerful pattern. I asked her, “what is wrong.”
She looked at me and said, “Jack, 12 years ago, I was inside this same hall as a server, packing and washing plates. Today, I am the event planner, and everyone here is answering to me.”
I tried to hold back my own tears as I hugged her tightly to calm her down. But even while typing this tweet, I can still feel myself getting emotional.
See, life truly does get better if you keep grinding. Don’t let your starting point hold you back.
Never look down on humble beginnings. Never give up on yourself. One day, the same place that witnessed your struggle may also become the stage for your victory.
And sometimes empathy might involve having to take actions that for a little time could hurt more in order to take the first pain away ....
Medics would understand this better
Sympathy: You feel sorry for someone who has suffered a calamity. You are not emotionally invested or practically involved in the matter or how they get better from it. You only feel sorry for them. Sympathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, you stop and feel sad for the victims, but leave and you keep walking.
Empathy: You feel personally touched by calamity that has befallen someone and you take visible actions to show you understand their pain and you want to help. You are emotionally invested and you are practically involved by doing everything you can to ensure the person gets better. Empathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, you stop, you check they are okay, you call an ambulance, you wait with them and you don’t leave until you are sure they are in safe hands.
Apathy: This is the easiest. You simply don’t care. You feel nothing about a calamity that has befallen someone. You are not happy about it but you are not sad either. You simply don’t care. You can’t be bothered at all. Apathy is you hear there’s an accident somewhere, and you are just not interested and you simply keep going. Whether they are dead, injured, alive, dying or whatever, you are not interested and you are not bothered.
I hope this helped.
Davrel stepped out of his mom’s restaurant to fix his screen guard, then a street guy appeared from nowhere and stopped him from recording. The ending was wild 😂
