Permit me to take this a bit far.
Many Nigerians are full of anyhowness.

It is in how someone builds a house and stops halfway, no plaster, no paint, no finishing touch, yet proudly moves in. Little efforts matter, but we ignore them.

It is in how your generator starter rope cuts, and instead of fixing it properly, you just wind the rope around by hand every day like it is normal. We get too comfortable with inconvenience.

It is in how the government builds one side of the road and abandons the other to completely deteriorate. By the time they return to fix the neglected side, the first one is already damaged again. It is a never-ending cycle of poor maintenance.

It is in how people throw dirt out of their car windows, then complain about blocked drainages when it floods.

It is in how someone installs a door but never fixes the handle properly. Or paints a wall but skips the corners because “it is not that serious.”

This anyhowness shows in our work, our mindset, and even our leadership. We rush to start things but rarely finish them well. We do not value details, yet we want excellence.

If we want a better country, we must start by changing that spirit of “it is okay like that.” Progress begins when we decide that doing it well is just as important as getting it done.

It has been established that a technical glitch affected 157 centres out of the 887 centres in the 2025 UTME. This was basically responsible for the general low performance of the candidates scheduled to sit the examination in those centres.

If you can see what a person spends quality time and money on, you'll know what's most important to them in that season.

Don't listen to the words. Follow the money and time.

What are you prioritizing in this season?

Build a team.

Your dreams will be small and your execution even smaller without one.

[Subomi @subomiplumptre]

I've built enough companies to consult on start-up operations in my sleep.

When I'm contracted to audit the operations of a company, four things tell me everything I need to know:

- How documents are filed
- How deliverables are tracked
- How KPIs are measured
- How decisions are procured

Successful companies get two things right - sales and operations.

The CEO or founder initially takes the lead on both items. But as the company grows, someone else has to handle one.

It takes a certain type of person to lead operations - they must be obsessive about details, order and outcomes. Stop being sentimental about who you place in this role. You can't "manage" operations.

Prioritize your operational structure this year. The first step is to get your company's scorecard on the four things I mentioned, and to assess the personality of your current operations lead.

[Subomi @subomiplumptre]

If you work in a multinational, you are lucky.

The main impact on your career will be an appreciation for structure and systems. The ability to follow processes and documentation.

Many managers never get this exposure as they are trained by mentoring and observation, not by process.

And so, they struggle to replicate what they know or teach others.

That's why a lot of the people who can scale companies come from established corporate backgrounds.

They may not know how to innovate or sell. But they can build the systems and partnerships that are required for growth.

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Trauma doesn't make people stronger. It damages their nervous system. It hijacks their digestive track. It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma is to deny what it has cost them to survive.
