I saw an old friend in a video with Wike yesterday. I was surprised and wasn’t surprised. We started out hustling as fresh graduates from a small rented shop in Agege. Mine was a photocopying business, his was a budding electrical tech work and installations.
My candid advice to young graduates of Archy, QS, civil, or electrical engineering: register a full-portfolio construction company immediately after university. Gain construction experience by working for individuals looking for cheap/direct labour, then move into subcontracting with mid-level construction firms to understand the requirements for govt projects.
When you have all the paper requirements, start bidding for govt contracts; you wont win and you will know why in the future, but go after the winner and beg for subcontracts, even at a base rate. Build trust, build versatility. If you build a name before looking for connection, the connection will start looking for you. In ten years, by the time the big boyz start passing to you projects that's too small for them or projects they dont have time for, you will never forget me, and would never regret taking this advice.
YouTube is not luck. If you make a faceless YouTube channel today, you could be making $10,000/month in March 2025.

“MOLA”
(The Stubborn Football Journey Man)
The name on everyone's lips since yesterday night is “Ademola Lookman” and to many the journey to stardom started in southeast London, Peckham but that's not true.
This is another Naija “Japa Story” when Ademola Lookman's parents who were both Nigerians decided to leave the shores of Nigeria for greener pastures, and at this time, Lookman had two older sisters who were born in Nigeria as he was the only one born in Peckham, London.
Everyone has a story, let's tell Ademola Lookman’s Story.

I currently have 760K+ subs on YouTube, and I want to share 12 random things I learned from building a successful YouTube channel for creators.
1. You have to fall in love with making videos (Filming, editing, scripting, research, etc.). This is the most crucial tip; everything falls in line after this.
2. Watch many YouTube videos in the categories you try to get into. I watched at least 20 videos a day when I started, and I still watch a ton of YouTube up to this day, and it taught me a lot.
3. Your friends and family won't support you. (Don't take it too personally). Your litmus test is when strangers start to love your work.
4. Focus on creating value, and the money will always come.
5. The first 10,000 subs are the hardest.
6. If you need more patience, get a regular job. Building anything on the internet takes time, and patience is vital.
7. Quantity at first, then quality after. I started by posting many videos, then gradually focused on quality as I grew. Quantity helps you build skill and find your audience; quality enables you to build a brand and get more views per video.
8. A great thumbnail/title can be the difference between 50K views and 5 Million views; how you package your video is super important.
9. If you need help with what to make, find an intersection between what you love doing and what an audience wants. A great way to do this is by making content about 3-5 different areas you are interested in and focusing on the ones that pop off. For me, it was real estate, travel, and business stories.
10. If you want to make travel content, start from your surroundings. I began with Lagos and scaled to Nigeria, Africa, and now the world.
I have noticed telling a story about a significant construction in any city worldwide always pops off. One of my first videos to pop off was about "Eko Atlantic" in Lagos, so maybe find some big project going on in your country and try to tell a story about it.
11. We all want to make money, but having that as the only reason behind why you do what you do might lead to quitting before you even begin. This shii is hard. 🥲
Figure out "Why you want to make videos early enough. A great book that might help with this is "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek.
12. Whatever makes you different, lean into it. That will separate you from everyone else and help make your work stand out.
That's all I got for now. Ok bye. 😊
My boyfriend, who is now my husband, was then schooling in Benin, and I needed a reason to spend about a month with him to "gather data".

They were not sick, not involved in an accident. Died suddenly
It's time to have a conversation around what are possible causes
