my second app, cleaneats, just got acquired 😭
two years ago, i was in nigeria — broke, stuck in my 3rd gap year, and completely cooked. most of my family gave up on me.
at 20, i made it to the US through sheer will, desperate to turn my life around. i slept on a friend’s college floor and bounced from relative to relative — until one called the cops and kicked me out. i hit rock bottom
but i never stopped
today i’m 22. since landing in america:
> solo built social wizard ($800k+ rev, still printing)
> went from tourist → student → “extraordinary alien”
> had my second app acquired
> made lifelong friends
i’m now in sf building the next one. my life goal is to build something 100 million people use — and i think i know what that is
we’re just getting started 🚀
at 18 in Nigeria, I was working 18 hours a day on my laptop making almost no money
I’m 23 now and my apps cash flow over $250K/month
the hardest part is surviving long enough for it to finally click
If you bought a Whoop, I feel sorry for you.
Google’s Fitbit Air just made it look silly
- $100 one time payment vs Whoop’s $199–$359/year forever
- Free tier actually works HR, sleep, SpO2, HRV, recovery, no paywall
- Optional $10/mo for Gemini Health Coach (vs Whoop where the sub is mandatory)
- Gemini analyzes meal photos, not just biometrics. Whoop can’t touch that
- Conversational health AI ask questions like why was I tired Tuesday?and get a real answer
- Open data platform Apple Watch, Garmin, third-party data all flow into Google Health
- 7-day battery, 5-min quick charge = full day
-Whoop just got a $10B valuation… and Google undercut them by 50% on day one
