Bitter truth👇:

It can never be you until you fall victim.

[The Holistic Alayes. 🏇🏿 @HolisticAlayes]

🤣 This doesn't validate the nonsense that girl did sha!

The two clips are not the same scenario.
One is a junior Nigerian trainee inside a formal UBA event where hierarchy and cultural protocol still apply. Correcting “Tony” is enforcing the rules of the house.

The other is a Western media interview where first-name address is the default format. Expecting him to police a foreign journalist the same way he polices his own staff is absurd.

Context is not hypocrisy. Code-switching is what functional elites do.

Treating every setting as identical is the real local thinking o chairman

The number one positioning mistake I see in Nigerian freelancers’ profiles. 👇🏾

It’s that they write too much about themselves.

It sounds obvious when I say it that way. But go check your profile right now.

Check the overview section. Count how many sentences start with “I.” Count how many are about your skills, your experience, your background, your years in the field.

Now ask yourself: at no point in any of that, who is the client?

This is the mistake.

The profile reads like a CV when it should read like a conversation. A CV says “here’s what I’ve done.”

But a profile says “here’s the problem I solve and here’s what that looks like for you.”

Clients land on your profile already knowing what they need. They’re not reading to learn about you.

They’re scanning to answer one question: can this person fix my problem?

If your profile doesn’t answer that question in the first three sentences, most clients are already gone.

I’ve reviewed hundreds of profiles at this point. Nigerian freelancers especially tend to lead with credentials, and I can’t blame them honestly, because that’s what we were taught.

School trained us to present our qualifications and wait to be selected. But that logic doesn’t translate to Upwork.

Upwork is the ghetto. You’re not waiting to be selected. You’re making a case. And the case isn’t about you. It’s about them.

Go and rewrite the first paragraph of your overview tonight.

Drop the “I am a writer with 5 years of experience” opening. Replace it with the problem you solve, the kind of client you solve it for, and one specific result that proves you can. Do it in just three sentences.

That’s all it takes to sound completely different from 90% of profiles on the platform.

Try it and tell me what you come up with.

If I was starting AI Automation from scratch today and needed clients fast…

These are the 5 projects I would build immediately as a Proof of work before outreaching.

Real business processes that make or save money.

Because businesses don’t pay for automation.

They pay for outcomes.

Here are the 5 I would automate first:

1️⃣ Lead Follow-Up

Problem:
Businesses lose leads because nobody follows up fast enough..

You can Build this as part of your POF.

2️⃣ Appointment Booking & Reminders

Problem:
No-shows kill revenue.

3️⃣ Invoice & Client Onboarding

Problem:
Manual invoicing + messy onboarding wastes time.

4️⃣ Social Media Reporting

Problem:
Agencies waste hours compiling reports.
Automation:
Pull data from Meta / Google Analytics → Auto-generate report → Email weekly summary.

5️⃣ Customer Support First Response

Problem:
Slow response kills trust.

Stop building random demos.

Build automations that:
• Increase revenue
• Reduce cost
• Save time
That’s what businesses care about.

Duolingo has over 100 million users, but less than 10 percent of them pay for premium. That small percentage is still enough to scale the company and keep it profitable. They understand that if they aggressively force everyone into premium,(mind you the most active premium users are from the US they have a better buying power) they would lose a large portion of their user base. So they keep the core product free, build habits, and monetize a fraction.

Now bring that to Nigeria.

Nigeria has low buying power and one of the poorest in the world. Disposable income is limited. If you price software like you are targeting the US or Europe, conversion will naturally be low. It is not that people do not want to pay. It is that the pricing must match economic reality. Affordable tiers, localized pricing, and flexible plans make more sense in a low-income market.

The second issue is marketing.
Many founders treat marketing as just posting ads or pushing content. Marketing is deeper than that. It includes positioning, branding, tone of voice, user experience, and how people emotionally connect with the product. If users do not relate to your product, they will not pay for it.

There is also the customer journey. From awareness to onboarding to engagement to retention to conversion. Founders need to understand lifetime value, retention rates, churn, and how to nurture users over time. Without lifecycle marketing, you are just launching an app and hoping for miracles.
If you do not understand pricing strategy, branding, user journey, and lifetime value, you risk building a product that only you use.

Lifecycle marketing isn’t just sending emails—it’s managing the full customer journey: Awareness → Acquisition → Activation → Engagement → Retention → Monetization → Advocacy.
It boosts retention, increases lifetime value, reduces churn, drives paid conversions, and encourages word of mouth. Nigerian startups often ignore this, focusing only on downloads, which makes scaling and monetization much harder.

We are still behind, when the economy is better your app will grow and convert better.

People will pay. But pricing must fit the market, value must be clear, and marketing must be intentional.

For a founder in Nigeria to survive
He needs a
Good marketing team
Good sales team
Good business development team.
That understands the Nigerian market.
Thanks 🙏🏾

During my NYSC, I served at OAU, Ife.

One professor there became a good mentor. One day he told me,

“Don’t come here for your Master’s. Travel abroad. You have the potential. There are greater opportunities out there for you.”

I didn’t listen.

Instead of pushing with everything it would take, I tried a little… and gave up.

Since he told me not to return to OAU, I went to UI instead.

Guess what?

He was my external examiner for my thesis defense at UI.

When he saw me, he said, “The Akungba girl? So this thesis is yours?”

He had kept my thesis for last. He said it stood out. It was different. He wanted to discuss it in detail.

But when he realized it was mine, he looked at me and said,

“I thought I told you to travel. Why are you here?”

He was disappointed — not in my work, but in my decision.

Before we finished, he said something that stayed with me:

“I don’t want to come here and examine you again for PhD. Put in the effort. Go abroad.”

This time, I listened.

And this time, I gave it everything — the sacrifice, the exams, the discipline, the money, the commitment. And I got the scholarship at last.

Here I am. Two PhDs, both completed with full funding without one day of financial lack.🥹

Why didn’t I make it the first time in 2012?

Because I avoided the hard parts.

I refused to write the required English exams.
I didn’t want to take the other standardized tests.
I couldn’t afford some application fees.
So I limited myself to “free” options — the same options everyone else was chasing.

I wanted elevation without inconvenience.
Opportunity without preparation.
Results without full commitment.

It doesn’t work that way.

If something is standing between you and the next level — and you know it’s effort, sacrifice, exams, money, fear, ego, or discipline —
Push it aside.

Your potential is not the problem.
Your willingness to do what it takes is.

Your problem is not always village people.

You just don’t have enough commitment for meaningful result.
Period.

In January 2018, a woman contacted me in Lagos concerning her daughter situation in the UK. She was 'sent' to the UK at 16. Enrolled in a foundation program in a UK university. Upon completion, she was admitted into a bachelor program in Pharmacy at the same university. 3 years later, she was adviced to withdraw due to poor academic performance. Her mother was devastated with the news. Several thousands of £ gone! I could see the pain in her eyes. I told her not to worry that we will look at other options for her daughter. I had some intense discussion with her daughter virtually as she was still in the UK. At the end, I propose a Nursing program for her in Canada. Time, and resources was put into the planning. At the end, admission was secured in April 2018 and visa granted in July 2018. By August, she left Lagos for Canada to start a new life. I was so happy for her.

The interesting thing about the whole process was that her father (a top business man in Lagos) was not informed of the Canada parole until we needed his bank statements as her proof of funds for Canada Study permit. He had some reservation about it but I was able to convince him that he should give her a second chance at studying abroad.

Lol and behold, she arrived in Canada and became a changed person. At this time she realised the enormous responsibility before her. At the end, she excelled in her Nursing program and won the best graduating student in her class.

Today, she is a registered Nurse in Canada and doing well for herself. And as a show of appreciation to her parents, she was financially responsible for the university education of her only sibling (a boy). He studied computer science in the UK.

In 2023, she invited me to her graduation in Canada with all expense paid. In addition, sometime last year, she sent some gifts to me in France 🇫🇷 from Canada 🇨🇦. She always say "Mr. Raji, if not for your supports in 2018, I doubt what my life will have become and where I will be today." She said "I am eternally grateful."

Sometimes, people need that second chance to realise their potential.
