I escaped from a double fraud today.
One was a 3.5m fake access bank app alert.
Goods has already been loaded in the vehicle sent for pickup when I got the nudge to check my account balance.
No alert from SMS, nothing in the bank app. Called account officer, nothing.

Guy claimed he had been debited.
Well, told him when we get our alert we will supply. From 10am till now, nothing. Baba has gone mute.

I just read the most beautiful true life story ever! There was a train station in Japan that ran just for one girl, the Kami Shirataki station. It was supposed to shut down due to low use, until Japan rail station found out she uses it everyday to get to school. Instead of closing it, they changed the train schedule to match her school hours. The train stops only twice a day, once to pick her up in the morning and once to bring her back in the evening. No other passengers, no extra stops, just for her. When she graduated in 2016, the station quietly shut down. What a country!🥹❤️👏🏽

“Sports betting is destructive. It has ruined the lives of some people I know. That's why I refused to appear in sports betting advertisements. Many of us come from the suburbs, and it destroys the lives of countless people there.”

This is by far the best Nigerian home that I have seen on any social media!

Dear Lagos developers, can we stop building boring white boxes with no greenery, and take a cue from Kehinde Wiley here?

I want to share a story. I have probably only told one or two people before.

It was 2019. I was building Nord, I owned 100% at this time, and I had to go to China because some of our important suppliers needed to see me and discuss the way forward. I had spent months selling my dream to them, yet there was still no significant order. I had to fly to China to buy more time. However, I did not have enough money. I was very low on cash. Yet I knew that if I did not go on that trip, the suppliers would see me as unserious and the company would slowly just collapse.

I have a good friend who has always been inspired by what I do and my accomplishments. He expressed interest in investing in Nord and I suggested that we visit the suppliers in China together. My plan was simple. I would pay for my flight and we would share a room where he would cover most of the room cost, while I showed him what we could do with our supply chain.

He lives in London and I live in Nigeria. We were supposed to fly and land almost at the same time, although he was scheduled to arrive a few hours before me.
A few hours before his flight, he called me to say he could not make it because of a logistical mix up. He told me last year, in 2025, that he actually had a serious medical emergency and might have died if he had not been in the UK where he was comfortable and had access to care.

At the time, I did not know this. He did not tell me it was that serious. I simply felt he had abandoned me once the scale of the investment became obvious to him. Still, I was kind on the phone and told him it was okay. He remembered that.

My already difficult but important trip suddenly became much more difficult, but I knew I still had to go.

I flew to China and landed alone.

We had initially planned to stay in a $100 per night room which we would share. Of course, I could not stay in a $100 per night room with my budget anymore, so I told my Chinese partner and friend to find me a really cheap hotel that was still close to town.

He took me to one hotel that had a horrible smell. It was going for $25 per night. I was going to take it until I saw that the toilet was a pit toilet.

I said, “No, e never bad like this.”

I asked him to find me a hotel with a normal toilet. He took me to another one. The smell was ok, it looked neat, and it had a normal WC. It was $40 per night. I took it.

I stayed a few days in Guangzhou, then took trains to other cities where my suppliers were located, staying in hotels that cost about $35 to $40 per night.

A few days before my return, I had to visit an important supplier in a city that required a flight. I had to call Nigeria and asked that they send me some change I put somewhere. I think about $150 was sent through Western U. I used it to buy the flight ticket, attended the meeting, and then returned to Guangzhou for the last two days.

When I landed back in Guangzhou, I had almost no money left. I probably had the equivalent of about $5. It could not buy anything meaningful, but I kept it just to convince myself mentally that I was not completely at zero.

Psychologically, I was very low.

The hotel had complimentary breakfast. That was what I would eat in the morning, and then I would go the entire day without eating. I would drink water all day and go for my meetings while my Chinese friend drove me around.

He did not know I was that low on cash.

Some days we would get complimentary lunch from the suppliers we visited. On other days, we did not.

I just maintained an outward positive attitude even though I was tired and hungry, honestly I was just waiting for the day of my flight so I could finally return to Nigeria.

On the day of the flight, my friend found a way to get me to the airport (that is a story for another day, as that was the day he suspected I was really low on cash).
As usual, I had eaten only breakfast, and the flight was at 00:50 am. I was hungry and tired, I could not buy anything while we waited to board.

🗣 Dimitar Berbatov: “In my time at Manchester United, we had Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Vidić, Ferdinand, Evra, Van der Sar and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Most of our opponents already accepted defeat when we stepped on the pitch.” 🥶

🗣️🇫🇷 Patrice Evra: “Once when we were in pre-season, before we got on the team bus, there was a queue of fans waiting for autographs and we were really tired.

So the players went straight onto the bus and we look out the window and we see Sir Alex Ferguson signing each autograph. I swear he must have signed for like 45 minutes. He was signing for every fan. I say, ‘Guys, when the boss comes on the bus, we are done’.

And he came on the bus and gave us the hairdryer:

‘Who the hell do you think you are?! Those people are paying your salary. Those people are coming to watch you. Now get the fuck down there and sign.’

And we had to sign for each fan. But that was his mentality.” 👏😍

Happy birthday to Sir Alex Ferguson, who turns 84 today. ❤🎂
