I saw the Whatsapp status of someone now and I felt emotional for his journey, again.

The status picture is of him standing beside his car.

He also has a decent bungalow in the suburb of Abuja.

This was someone that came to Abuja less than 10 years ago and slept in a Mai Shayi kiosk for the first few months.

Came to Abuja after HND/NYSC without knowing anyone. Night fell and nowhere to stay. Begged an "aboki" tea seller to allow him sleep in his kiosk. That one accepted, but sleeping space can only become available after the guy closed the kiosk. 11pm

Bathroom was some wrapper covering wood/aluminium sheets few meters away and he needed to bath by 5am everyday before morning broke.

Needed to spend the day wandering around looking for job. And returned to Mai Shayi kiosk late night to sleep.

Not the conventional "first class, plenty-grammar" 9-5 graduate route. Just a hustler within the build industry (sites and all that) before getting his footing.

I have told the story before. But seeing the young man pose beside his car on his Whatsapp today brought back the emotion.

Selling cement is such a humbling business.

My father owns a cement shop, and one of his regular prayer points was:
“God abeg, send customers. Make this thing no spoil for my hand.” 😂

One day, a distributor sent 250 bags of cement to him.
As usual, it was a "take now, pay after selling" arrangement.

But this batch stayed in the shop for too long.

He managed to sell about 100 bags, but the remaining 150 just sat there like nobody wanted cement again.

Then one day, he opened the shop and discovered the cement had started caking, even though it wasn’t placed directly on the ground.
He was heartbroken.

But instead of letting it waste, he bought truckloads of sand and hired workers to mold blocks with everything left.

In fact, the entire shop was cleared just to avoid loss.

Later, the distributor called for payment, and my dad had to withdraw money from his other business to settle the debt.

After that experience, he said he was done selling cement.
He was just waiting for his shop rent to expire so he could shut everything down.

Then something unexpected happened.

During that same period, one of his old friends came to our house, saw the blocks outside, and asked if my dad wanted to sell them.

My dad said yes and just like that, he sold everything.

Then the man asked if there was still cement in the shop.

My father instantly said a quick: *“Yes” 😂😂😂

That “yes” was very fast for someone who had locked his shop for over two weeks.

To my surprise, that night my dad didn’t let the cement distributor rest.
He kept calling and shouting on the phone, begging him to make sure the truck arrived at his shop the next morning 😂😂

Anybody who says running a business is easy is lying.

Have you ever abandoned a business in a slow season, and later resumed it when opportunity showed up?

@Gaurab @dsma1956 There was no need for that "very misinformed" you could have just corrected him

@TomolaGroup @blochief Then what is causing the under production of crude

[Sarkin Mota @SarkinMota_AMF]

Joblessness is what causes backward thinking like this and that’s why I’ve taken it on my self to employ youths. Learn to speak good or shut up

This is coming late due to all the things on my plate. In the midst of thriving mediocrity, unnecessary envy and tragic disunity, I observed with great pleasure as those with sense, numerous of you on here and Facebook celebrated the appointment of our own, my elder brother Captain Jamil MD Abubakar, @CaptJamyl on his new appointment as the Managing Director of Infrastructure & Logistics at @DangoteGroup. The whole world knows how I feel about Captain. I will not repeat that natural affection. But to me, he represents the embodiment of a decent human being. Generous, competent, caring, compassionate and tolerant. If he was running for President, I will mobilise for him. This is a huge win for the country, the North, the Northwest and Zamfara, his home state. I have no doubt he will serve with distinction. As always, we pray for Alhaji Aliko Dangote so God may continue to grant him the immeasurable vision he has. I am here once again to assure Captain that we have many young minds in Kaduna North that can add value to the conglomerate. Based on merit not allocation. He has helped our young boys before, on merit when the Refinery was setup. I am sure he will do it again. May God guide this good man and may He continue to elevate him in status and wisdom. Proud of you as always and apologies for the delayed post, Mallam is still my focus. I will call later by the grace of God. On behalf of the excellent people of Kaduna that I proudly represent and intend to continue to represent after my father’s clear instructions, we celebrate you.

From the day I started posting job opportunities, I managed to post all graduate trainee programs I come across.

I am fulfilled and satisfied that uncountable people got jobs, very good jobs through this effort. Many people have discovered their real selves, some have had their lives changed course as a result. The testimonies on and offline is my proud moment.

Its my biggest achievement and at the same time motivation in life..

@FaceCapFarmer @thecompasshub These two things policy and infra pave way for tech and innovation but right now you can't tell a farmer to buy a $10 monitoring device which doesn't directly increase his yield

@JamilKhabir396 Hi

[Abdul Samad Rabiu CFR, CON @asr_rabiu]

I was truly honoured to receive Zhang Sicai, Chairman of CBMI (SINOMA Group), and his esteemed team from China at my Lagos office today.

Our discussions focused on the ongoing construction of our two cement lines in Edo and Sokoto, and I am encouraged by the steady progress being made. Their expertise and commitment continue to play a vital role in bringing these projects to life.

This visit further strengthens our partnership, and I look forward to achieving great milestones together.
