Jamie Foxx is a singer. T Pain is a vocalist. Jamie will give you a few “oh yeahs” and facial expressions and low runs to give off the illusion of being a vocalist. Whereas T Pain has control, technique, tone, and presence.

@euniceajim Exactly what we’re building with CoopMart, a Vertical SaaS platform focused on cooperatives.
Helping cooperatives simplify procurement, member shopping & payments. We’re already seeing traction & partnered with Lagos State Cooperative College.
Would love to share more about it.
Better still why not do this
Buy a flat for 150m-200m
Furnish it with 30m
Get a car 70m
Fix 1B at the new 10 year bond of 22% (gives you 220m yearly)
Have 100m as sundry!
Then you are set for life
The $1M conversation on Nigerian Twitter is funny because the first thing you should do when you come into money in bulk is to leave it. Pretend it doesn't exist for at least 3 months. Never jump into investing in anything you don't know very well. I am talking from experience.
A windfall is not automatically wealth. It only becomes wealth when it starts protecting you, paying you, and improving your ability to earn.
If you somehow find yourself with ₦20M, ₦100M, ₦1.4B or any amount of money you've never received as a lump sum before, your job is simple:
Make sure no one in your bloodline ever has to ask this question again.
Do not just spend it. Convert it into a system.
Here's how to think about it🧵
How to Build a ₦100 Million Agro‑Trade Platform in Kano — Without Owning a Single Farm
Dear Entrepreneur,
Dear Tech‑Minded Brother or Sister,
Dear Visionary in Agriculture…
Every week, trucks roll out of Kano loaded with food:
Maize.
Tomatoes.
Onions.
Soybeans.
Ginger.
Sesame.
Beans.
But here’s what most people don’t see:
The farmers don’t know the buyers.
The buyers don’t know the farmers.
Middlemen eat up the profits.
Prices go up. Quality goes down.
The Gap
Imagine a farmer in Wudil with 500 bags of maize.
Imagine a wholesale buyer in Abuja looking for 500 bags.
They need each other…
…but they never meet.
Until now.
Start an Online B2B Platform for Farm Produce
A website and mobile app that connects farmers, cooperatives, and processors with bulk buyers, exporters, and retailers.
Farmers list their produce with quantity, price, and location.
Buyers browse, compare, and place bulk orders.
Logistics partners (trucks, haulage) plug in to deliver.
You don’t own the farms.
You don’t own the trucks.
You simply own the marketplace.
Why This Business Works in 2026
✔ Kano is the biggest grain hub in West Africa — Dawanau market alone moves thousands of tonnes weekly.
✔ Farmers are tired of being cheated by middlemen.
✔ Bulk buyers want reliable suppliers at good prices.
✔ Smartphones are everywhere — even in rural areas.
✔ Agro‑export is booming (ginger, sesame, hibiscus).
✔ No dominant Northern‑focused B2B platform yet.
You’re not just creating an app.
You’re creating trust… and trade.
How the Business Works
1. Build a simple platform (start with WhatsApp + website, scale to app):
– Farmer profile and verification
– Buyer profile and KYC
– Product listings with photos and specs
– Order management and messaging system
2. Monetize through:
– Transaction fees (e.g. 2–5% per order)
– Premium listings (₦5,000/month)
– Advertising (seed suppliers, logistics companies)
– Subscription plans for big buyers
3. Partner with:
– Local cooperatives
– Dawanau and Kura produce unions
– Logistics companies (haulage, storage)
– Microfinance banks for escrow payments
Money Breakdown (2026 Model)
Let’s say:
– Platform handles ₦500 million worth of produce trades in one year.
– You take 3% commission = ₦15 million revenue.
– Add ₦5 million from premium listings and ads.
– Scale to ₦2 billion trade volume in year two = ₦60 million+ revenue.
And you never touch a bag of maize yourself.
Want to Scale?
– Add warehousing and cold‑storage partners
– Launch in neighboring states (Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa)
– Enable cross‑border export to Niger, Ghana, Benin
– Introduce instant payment/escrow systems for safer trade
– Provide data analytics for buyers (harvest forecasts, price trends)
– Organize farmer training programs (funded by NGOs)
You’ll become the Konga/Jumia of farm produce.
What Users Will Say:
> “I sold my onions directly to a buyer in Lagos — no middleman!”
“Your app connected me to three exporters in one week.”
“We save ₦200 per bag compared to market prices.”
While others are bending their backs in the sun…
You’ll be building a platform that connects, empowers, and earns — rain or shine.
To your digital, agro‑smart, wealth‑building future.
DISCLAIMER:
This business involves trade, money, and trust. Always:
– Verify all sellers and buyers to avoid fraud.
– Comply with Nigeria’s e‑commerce and agricultural trade regulations.
– Use secure payment methods (escrow recommended).
– Protect user data in line with data protection laws.
– Have clear dispute resolution policies.
– Understand that agricultural prices fluctuate — educate users.
An online B2B platform is powerful, but reputation is everything. Build it carefully, scale it wisely, and serve both farmers and buyers with fairness.

In 2019, Damilola Savage was the most promising young lawyer in Lagos.
Sharp. Hungry. Beautiful mind.
She had one dream: to make partner at Okonkwo & Associates before 35.
What she didn’t know was that the firm had already decided her fate — before she walked through the door on her first day.
Okonkwo & Associates occupied the entire 14th floor of a glass tower on Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island.
Senior Partner — Chief Emeka Okonkwo, SAN.
62 years old. Silver-haired. Yale-educated. A man who had drafted legislation that shaped modern Nigeria.
And a man who did not lose.
Damilola had joined straight from Lagos Law School. First class. Best graduating student.
Chief Okonkwo had personally recruited her.
“You remind me of myself,” he told her at the hiring dinner at Nok by Alara.
She should have asked what he meant by that.
She didn’t.
For four years, she worked like the building would collapse if she left.
Nights. Weekends. Public holidays.
She billed more hours than any associate in the firm’s 30-year history.
Her name was on every major deal. Her fingerprints were on a ₦4.2 billion acquisition that made the front page of BusinessDay.
She was untouchable.
Or so she thought.
In March 2023, Chief Okonkwo called her into his corner office.
Floor-to-ceiling windows. A view of the Lagos Lagoon that made you feel like God.
“Damilola,” he said, leaning back in his leather chair.
“We’re making you partner.”
She felt her eyes burn. Held it together. Barely.
“Effective when?” she asked.
“June 1st,” he said.
She walked out of that office and cried in the bathroom for seven minutes.
The partnership agreement arrived on her desk two weeks later.
47 pages.
She was tired. She was happy. She trusted Chief Okonkwo.
She signed on page 47 without reading pages 1 through 46.
This is where the story truly begins.
The clause was on page 31.
Paragraph 14(c).
“In the event of dissolution, departure, or termination — voluntary or otherwise — the Partner hereby waives all rights to client relationships, matters originated, and revenue generated from accounts introduced to the firm during the period of association.”
In plain English?
Every client she had brought. Every deal she had built. Every relationship she had cultivated for four years.
Belonged to Okonkwo & Associates.
Not to her.
She didn’t know.
For eight months, everything was perfect.
Her name was on the letterhead.
Partner. Corporate & Commercial.
She had an office now — not a cubicle.
She had an assistant named Rotimi who brought her green tea without being asked.
She was, by every measure, winning.
Then in February 2024, she got a call.
Dangote Agro. One of her oldest clients — she’d been their outside counsel since they were a ₦200 million startup.
They were now worth ₦11 billion.
And they wanted her to lead a landmark merger.
The fee: ₦180 million.
She called Chief Okonkwo to discuss resource allocation.
He listened quietly.
Then he said: “I’ll be handling Dangote Agro personally from now on.”
Silence.
“I’m sorry?” she said.
Page 31, paragraph 14(c),” he said.
Not unkindly. Almost gently. The way a man says something he has rehearsed.
“All client relationships belong to the firm, Damilola. You agreed to that.”
She sat very still.
Outside her window, Lagos hummed and moved and did not care.
She called Dangote Agro directly that evening.
Their CFO — a woman named Amaka who Damilola had mentored — picked up.
“Amaka, they’re trying to take you off my portfolio—”
“Dami.” Amaka’s voice was careful. Apologetic. “Chief Okonkwo called our MD this morning. Apparently there are contractual issues.”
“There are no contractual issues. Those are my clients—”
“Dami.” A pause. “They showed us the agreement.”
She hung up.
Sat in her car in the parking garage for 45 minutes.
Then she called the only person she knew who could help.
It’s the weekend and it’s a good time to relax, if you are a founder , here are some movie recommendations you should try and watch , you would learn a lot about building business and running a startup.

Combo to drill on the bag:
Jab, cross, pull, slip, lead body hook, slip, lead uppercut, cross, roll out.
The punches are not the hard part. The hard part is keeping your balance while the head movement loads the next shot and gets you out clean.
No gym? Use your wall.
Shadowbox close to it and you’ll find out real quick if your punches are looping too wide.
Use a doorway for tight rolls, straight counters, and cleaner crosses.
Simple home boxing drill to keep your technique sharp.
