It's a fact that in the context of romance, men are the foolish ones. Especially Nigerian men. 😂😂
"Logical gender" may apply in other areas, but certainly not in romance. 💯
It's okay to ask a lady who her mentor is before getting into a relationship with her. It might sound funny, but it matters.
The people we look up to often shape the way we think, behave, and handle relationships. If her mentor gives wise advice, encourages good values, accountability, respect, and growth, that's a good sign.
But these days, some people are taking relationship advice from mentors who promote manipulation, entitlement, unnecessary gender wars, and unhealthy expectations. Such advice can ruin what could have been a beautiful relationship.
Before you commit, try to know who influences her mindset. It doesn't mean you're judging her, but it's better to understand the kind of values she's learning and following.
The same thing applies to men too. The kind of people you listen to can either build your relationship or destroy it. Choose your mentors wisely.
Until death, every defeat is temporary.
You’ll come back stronger Ahmed.
Rooting for you.
Stay strong, this time will pass.
Do not forget the mistake and habits that brought you this low tho, master your psychology and be disciplined.
Revenge trading is never profitable no matter how much you win at first, it’ll still take x10 of what it gave you speaking from experience.
Prop firms are here to help you scale up and get you a good figure to scale up.
You’ll come back stronger.💜
From John Gunther’s Nigeria:
“For their national dress, Nigerians have adopted the traditional costume of two of their major groups, the Yoruba and the Hausa.”
“Most distinctive are the Yoruba, whose rich robes… and tall head-ties make a group of them look like birds of paradise.”
An independent historical source recognized the gele as a distinctive hallmark of Yorùbá women decades ago.
Yorùbá l’óní gele. Case closed.
i started researching on starting a private equity firm, if you also want to, here are my findings.
It is a whole different ball game now. The days of just gathering a few friends' money to buy up a company are long gone. The regulatory and market entry bars are high, but the opportunity is massive if you do it right
here are the few things I have learnt on starting a private equity firm here in Nigeria
1️⃣First, check your pockets
You can't do this under the radar. To operate as a Tier 3 Private Equity Fund Manager, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a minimum paid-up capital of ₦500 million. If you want full-scope asset management capabilities (Tier 1), that figure jumps to ₦5 billion. Registration requires absolute transparency, clean financial statements, and audited background checks. I will stick Tier 3 abeg
2️⃣ Structure your entity for local and global money
Most managers set up a GP-LP (General Partner/Limited Partner) structure. The GP is your fund management company registered with the CAC. If you plan to blend local capital with international development finance, you’ll likely need to use an offshore hub (like Mauritius or Delaware) feeding into a local special purpose vehicle (SPV) to keep things seamless for international investors.
3️⃣ Nail down your "Investment Thesis"
LPs (Limited Partners) will not give you money just because you are smart. They want a hyper-specific strategy.
Are you doing Growth Equity in the consumer goods space? Are you focusing on mid-market tech infrastructure? Or are you positioning for the Private Credit boom to lend to companies squeezed by tight commercial bank rates? Pick a niche and own it.
4️⃣ Write your own check first
To convince high-net-worth individuals, local Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), or international allocators to back you, you must provide a GP Commitment.
This means you and your partners need to put your own cash into the fund, usually 1% to 2% of the total fund size. If you don't risk your own money, no one else will risk theirs.
5️⃣ Build your "Value Creation" dream team
Signing the deal is only 10% of the job. You need a team that knows how to step into a Nigerian business and aggressively scale it.
We are talking about experts who can restructure messy corporate governance, stabilize supply chains against FX volatility, move a factory off a failing power grid onto solar, and integrate AI to protect margins.
Clearly the most difficult part here is securing funding and this can take up to a year or two

Private equity is when wealthy individuals or investment firms buy companies that are not publicly traded on the stock market, improve them, and later sell them for a profit.
Here's a simple example:
Imagine a bakery is worth ₦10 million, but it is poorly managed.
A private equity firm buys the bakery.
They hire better managers, expand to more locations, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase profits.
Five years later, the bakery is worth ₦50 million.
The firm sells it and makes a profit.
Think of it like this:
Private equity is like buying an old house, renovating it to make it more valuable, and then selling it at a higher price.
The difference is that instead of houses, private equity firms buy and improve businesses.
