My ex @DavidHundeyin made an East African documentary that I think every East African should watch simply because it's brilliant!

look the rich don’t split bills, that’s why they’re richer than you.
you spend 30 mins at dinner calculating who ordered what, wealthy people just pick up the whole bill with no calculator, no awkward convo or annoying gestures, they even leave bigger tip than expected.
my dad taught me something i’ll never forget: the person who fights over small money will never be trusted with big money.
being cheap is expensive.
it costs you opportunities, relationships, goodwill and trust. refuse to be cheap.
“Where and how you raise your kids matters a lot,”
I was given this same advice when I was in college. I went to college in Silicon Valley, California. I asked a professor the keys to success.
His advice was to live in great neighborhoods and immerse myself in academics if that’s my path.
I took that lesson to heart. As I started having kids I made sure to live within the best school districts. Even when it meant two to three hour commute to work for me.
I’m happy to see that those sacrifices reaped good rewards.
My first born graduated from Stanford on a full scholarship. She had offers from most Ivy League colleges in the USA.
These things do matter.
Carl Jung was right when he wrote that if a man does not face his shadow by age 35 he will not improve. He will calcify. His defense will become his personality.
My cousin told me two things when I got to the UK as a student. First was. Never do odd jobs; they are a trap. Second, sort out everything related to credit on time, as you are looking for something better to do.
That guy I met at Enfield 22 years ago, who was washing cars, did not have a credit card or a mortgage. He kept sending money home, but it kept losing value, thanks to inflation. Meanwhile, I know someone who has bought over 40 properties using the UK banking system (before the rules changed), and their properties have appreciated.
I have relatives who have lived abroad for decades and are still struggling with the mortgage for one property, and others who have a portfolio of assets, including businesses. The difference was how they started. Those who started with "struggle jobs" somehow maintain that siege mentality and think small.
Survival usually limits people's options, but I learned early that doing software testing gigs from the school library was a more sustainable option than carrying boxes at Tesco. If you have a university degree, you have to think bigger and better than those who do not.
I have had a sneak peak into a rich man's life. I mean rich, not 10 Billion Naira rich. I mean "let's buy that oil terminal" rich
And I realized that the poor and middle class spend more money than them.
Those people don't buy shit.
Everyone kisses their ass with gifts. From banks to other organizations to wannabes etc
There was someone supplying his Abuja house with Diesel as a gesture. That man hardly pays for anything.
Then you hear things like "Pin 10 Billion at 7% annually & use the 7% to fund Anne's education and upkeep in Texas"
Bro, if you have to spend your money to feel rich, you are not rich yet
There is no reward for being a good person. If you’re being good to people expecting to get good in return you most likely will be disappointed
Stay wicked so there won’t be any room for disappointments.
One of the most attractive things a woman can have is not a big butt or breasts
It it to have proper biomechanics
Gait pattern > Any superficial features
Dave Chappelle said "i got paid 25K when i was 17 and was scared to walk around with it in a backpack cause i never had something somebody wanted. i know they would kill me if they knew i had this money. now imagine having a pussy." Give this man a medal.
