Read often. Keep your mind sharp. Treat it like your pocket or your body. Your hustle must not exclude your faculty of ideas. Enrich it. By all means, read the thoughts of those you respect. Much of a man’s life is in service; a man is always giving himself.
People with barely 10 years left to live are running the country and young fools are cheering them on. They’re taking your future and giving you crumbs. Illiterates
I have never hated him. When he was at UTD, I spoke of him in awe as a Chelsea fan, to the point that my elder sister started supporting Manchester United to this day.
She used to ask why I wasn’t a United fan despite loving him that much. I just told her it’s beyond that.
As a Chelsea fan, I started as a hater of him when he was at United in his early days, then i watched him week after week terrorize teams, dribbles, left foot, right foot, header, pace and nothing in the world could convince me this wasn’t the greatest player ever.
There’s something Nigerians need to understand about Elon Musk’s X revenue money.
1. The influencers who are pushing you to abandon all else to pursue monetization understand that it’s Ponzi, and your participation actually puts more money in their pockets than it will ever do to yours. In fact, you may never earn anything from your day 1 of pursuing it until you are tired.
2. X cannot take Nigerians (en masse) out of poverty. It is impossible. X cannot pay more than a thousand Nigerian accounts significant money at the same time. A thousand is even a reach.
3. You cannot escape poverty as a society beyond the total actual value you create. Your annual GDP per capita cannot be ~$1000 and you expect to mass escape poverty through the internet.
4. Whatever the internet is capable of paying you will always be subjected to your real economy. The internet does not print money out of the thin air to pay.
5. This platform is highly unprofitable for Elon. X is only staying afloat for two reasons, a) Elon has combined it with XAI, b) He’s receiving contracts from the U.S. and Israeli governments to promote certain political talking points on the platform.
It’s important for Nigerians to understand these things, and realize that you must build your economy to escape poverty. Don’t let 10 people earning from X deceive you.
You can't make a decision and follow it just because you're married?
And by the way, most women don’t divorce because they have “bad partners.” So that excuse is as lame as a plot twist everyone saw coming.
The trigger has been removed.
The person causing the stress has left their lives. This reduces cortisol and it’s easier for her to stop stress eating amongst other things.
You people underestimate the effect a ‘bad’ partner can have on a person.
I just found out Ibadan okadas operate like buses.
You’re on a bike, then the rider picks up another passenger because you’re both going the same way.
Hello?! 😭
Oh @korty_EO thank you so much for that episode with @TonyOElumelu.
That was a conversation between a brilliant storyteller and a man obsessed with building institutions, creating opportunities and changing the narrative of Africa.
I just watched Flow with Korty featuring Tony Elumelu on YouTube, and I just wanted to say that Korty is the greatest storyteller to come out of Africa. As someone who has been a fan for a few years now, she is not even close to peaking yet.
She exudes the energy that makes her guests very comfortable sharing their stories, and she, in turn, amplifies those stories to make even more sense.
Btw, Tony Elumelu graduated with a 2.2 and, through a combination of hard work and luck, which he admitted has been a huge part of his success story, has done so much for himself. Your grades don’t define you. You can just do things.

This is such a commendable and insane catalog. A proper filmmaker and storyteller.
Give her her flowers 💐
