Was telling my cousin two days ago; that this man wasn't just building a car or other things, that he was building an in-house ecosystem where his members could exist without needing almost nothing else from the outside world.

[nduka omeife @ndukaomeife]

In this life, sha, don’t let anybody rush you.

At 33, with a first-class degree, I was still sleeping on my parents’ couch in Ebute Metta, trying to figure life out.

I didn’t get my dream job until I was 36. I got married at 35 and started married life in a room and parlour tiny rooms in Mushin.

I started a business at 38 and failed woefully.

I tried again in my 40s. Failed again.

At 46, I opened an art gallery at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Lagos. It failed too.

At 47, I returned to the yoghurt business. Failed again.

At 48, we started again.

Then, at almost 50, I was compulsorily retired from my job.

Instead of seeing it as the end, I went fully into the yoghurt business.

I relocated to the UK at almost 52.

By 54, we had recorded over ₦2 billion in sales.

So please, be inspired by other people’s success, but never allow their success to put you under pressure.

Some people bloom at 25.
Some at 35.
Some at 50.
Some even later.

Your timeline is different.

Keep learning.
Keep trying.
Keep failing forward.
Keep moving.

You are not late. You are still writing your story.

Good evening.😊

300k+ and counting people saw @hamzahybrid call a Nigerian woman a scammer for a £2k Shopify unban.

I reached out to her from the number on the screenshot.
She sent me the conversation with him as she claimed she's preparing for exam would attach the url at the end.
Here’s the truth.

Florence is a verified Shopify expert on Upwork. 100% job success. Face public. Number public. Profile open.
She reached out after a referral, reviewed Hamza’s case FOR FREE, and even logged into his store with credentials and live 2FA codes HE voluntarily handed over and diagnosed the real problem immediately.

Unfulfilled orders. Products stuck in warehouses. Real UK customers who paid and received nothing.

She asked for $200 to proceed. Not £2,000. $200.

I saw this video & it drove me back memory lane.

At the verge of my WAEC, my father decided to neglect me totally. Uncle Ola took a bet on me and paid for my WAEC. I could have ended up differently.

Help me find this boy.

I want to pay it forward. His WAEC and JAMB.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I received this DM from a concerned girlfriend and I feel an obligation to share.

If you are able to help or weigh in, please do.

If you can't, please share on your timeline for anyone who is able to. 🙏

Abuja does not have a State of Assembly and gets the shorthand when it comes to legislation specifically for the Abuja people. There is a need for #AbujaBillsForAbujaPeople

If I clinch the NDC TICKET to run for the FCT Senate seat and get voted by the good people of FCT Abuja, some of the bills I will be proposing include the following:

1)Abuja Residents Security Bill

2)Abuja Residents Empowerment Bill

3)Abuja Infrastructure Bill

4)Free Maternal Health Bill

5)Indigenous Rights and Land Protection Bill

6)FCTA Accountability Bill

7)Abuja Education Bill

ONE: Nobody should fear for their life in Abuja.
Abuja Residents Security Bill—community policing in every neighborhood. Solar streetlights in high-risk areas. Quick-response emergency teams. You should not be afraid to come home at night.

TWO: Your sweat must pay. Your hustle must count.
Abuja Residents Empowerment Bill—mandating quotas for youth- and women-led businesses in government contracts. The Rent Control component of my Bill will protect you from unjust rent hikes. Double taxation elimination,  Skills Empowerment spending that empowers Abuja residents with real skills. Access to Capital mandates that ensure a portion of Abuja taxes is used to provide microloans to support businesses.

THREE: Water. Roads. Light. Healthcare. These are not favors—they're your rights.
Abuja Infrastructure Bill clean water for residents through solar-powered boreholes. 
Roads in Abaji, Kwali, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje and the neglected parts of AMAC - FIXED.
Primary Healthcare Centres are upgraded with an adequate number of doctors, medical supplies, and reliable emergency services.
 Schools renovated.
 This is not optional. This is your right.

FOUR: Pregnancy is not a death sentence.
Free Maternal Health Bill, 
Comprehensive care for every pregnant woman, regardless of how much money you have.
Mobile clinics reaching rural communities. 
Maternal waiting homes near health centers. 100,000+ women served. 
No woman should die giving life.

FIVE: They can't just take your land and bulldoze your house.
Indigenous Rights and Land Protection Bill—
Full compensation for ancestral lands. 
Land Rights Tribunal. 
No demolitions without proper notice and fair payment. 
Affordable housing for middle- and low-income families. 
Your dignity is not negotiable.

SIX: You will see where every kobo goes.
FCTA Accountability Bill—
every budget, every contract, every demolition order. 
You will SEE it. 
TRACK it. 
QUESTION it. 
The minister will be mandated by law to engage Abuja residents before drafting budgets or spending. 
Your needs must be captured in the budget. 
FCTA will no longer see bloated and inflated contracts used to enrich corrupt politicians. 
When everything is in the open, the thieves have nowhere to hide.

SEVEN: I will fight for an Abuja Education Bill — No Child Left Behind.

EVERY CHILD DESERVES QUALITY EDUCATION. NOT JUST THE ONES WHOSE PARENTS CAN AFFORD PRIVATE SCHOOL.

Public schools renovated with proper classrooms, libraries, science labs, and sports facilities. Scholarships covering tuition, WAEC, NECO, and JAMB fees for indigent students. Teacher recruitment and training programs. Competitive salaries to attract and retain quality teachers.

ICT training centers in all the area councils for training youth in digital and coding skills. Universal access to quality primary and secondary education across all six area councils.

A BETTER ABUJA MEANS EDUCATION IS NOT A PRIVILEGE FOR THE RICH. IT'S THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY CHILD'S FUTURE. AND I WILL FIGHT TO GUARANTEE IT FOR EVERY ABUJA CHILD.

Bro to Bro: What is the easiest way to make money?

[Vincent The Therapist @mrhighfoster]

He is 31 years old

At nine months old, a failed measles injection by a local nurse caused avascular necrosis, leading to lifelong hip pain and leg weakness until his hip replacement surgery

Four of his siblings died in childhood (likely related to sickle cell trait in the family), making his survival a "statistical miracle"

At age 10, he dropped out of school due to poverty but returned after his mother worked as a cleaner for six years to pay his fees

He learned chess as a kid at a local barber's shop in a Lagos slum while playing video games with friends

Barely spoke English when he started secondary school (mostly Yoruba at home) but quickly picked it up from classmates

His mother was a petty trader (thrift clothes seller), and his father sold spare parts. They met in a Lagos market

Chess helped him develop a strong photographic memory, which he used to cram for exams and survive without parental allowances

He became Nigeria's No 13 ranked chess player and earned the National Master title at age 20

He won gold medals representing Yaba College of Technology in the Nigeria Polytechnic Games and the RCCG Chess Championship

He also won the National Friends of Chess Tournament and the Chevron Chess Open

He got a diploma in computer science and used chess winnings to support himself through school

Founded Chess in Slums Africa in September 2018 as a volunteer-driven nonprofit after visiting slums like Majidun

The organization has reached thousands of underprivileged kids, including producing a 10-year-old champion with cerebral palsy

Tunde Onakoya broke the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon (over 60 hours) in Times Square, New York, in 2024

Featured in CNN African Voices for his work

Tunde has a younger brother (two years apart)

He credits chess with saving him from slum poverty and giving him an "intellectual identity"

He once simultaneously won 10 chess games at the DLD Conference in Germany

First African to win the Lideramos Youth Award for Social Impact in Spain.

Won the Corporate Chess Championship in Malawi with a perfect 7/7 score

Tunde dreams of building the world's biggest chess institute in Nigeria
.
.
.
.

Tunde Onakoya has brought attention to Africa through Chess.

He started teaching chess at a younger age to children.

I'm talking of around 2013/2014 when he was meeting at parks around Lagos State, just to teach kids in the open (mostly after work hours)
.
.

Today, I am more interested in telling you more about him, and how he has also risen from a place of deep poverty and struggles.

He has done soooo much for people and it's only expected that these past impacts would show on him as well

You might have your reservations about him, but you cannot downplay how he used the game of chess to bring great changes to children's lives.
.
.

A lot of children now have access to education, purpose and meaning, thanks to Chess.

You are also part of his story. Tunde didn't do all these alone.

Your support, your accolades, your retweet, your reposts, everything

So look at the bigger picture.

Think of the kids whose lives have changed from taking alcohols and drugs on the streets of slums, to having regulated mental health and more purpose driven lives, due to Chess and the opportunity it brought.
.
.
.
.

Tunde can't certainly please everyone, and yes, there might be actions that many people would attribute to him being human.

But if children would smile again, because he created an opportunity for them to have their smiles again.... Then it's one of the best legacies anyone can ever have.

And you also can create your own legacy to which nations would applaud, recognise and help preserve 🫂

The sky is big enough for you, I and Tunde to shine and shine bountifully well ❤️

[Oloye. @Ol0ye]

Does this include when he was living in a one bedroom and using his money to adopt and take care of the kids a lot of you scuff your noses at?

Or it's only after he's getting recognition for the work he's done without fanfare for over a decade?

You people need to stop feeling threatened by other people's success especially if you don't have the temerity to do what they did to get it.
