@EmeraldZee1 @Msmenalicious @ngee_danielle Exactly! In a yellow packet like that, we used to call it “cooking butter”

[Slim @onu_slim]

There was a man in his early 30s in the year 2000s who always said he was waiting for the right time for anything.

The right time to start the business.
The right time to invest.
The right time to take care of his health.
The right time to fix his relationships.

He wasn’t lazy at all but He was comfortable. And comfort is the most dangerous place to build a life because nothing feels urgent when nothing is on fire.

Years passed quietly, the way they always do. Promotions came to people he once mentored. His friends stopped talking about dreams and started talking about school fees. His body began negotiating with him every morning.

One day he realized something terrifying. Life didn’t collapse…..It simply moved on without his boldness.

Most people don’t fail because they can’t win. They fail because they delay until the version of them that could have won no longer exists.

Time doesn’t ruin lives loudly. It does it politely, by giving you endless tomorrows until you run out of them.

That’s the truth that hurts and helps.

Say Hi to the girl today
Say hi to that contract opportunity today

I hope this helps

I watched a guy on the bus today. 6:45 AM in the morning while jogging, His eyes looked heavy, like he was carrying the weight of an entire lineage on his shoulders. But immediately he sat down, he brought out his phone and started scrolling TikTok.
​As a Biomedical Engineer, I wanted to snatch that phone from his hand.
​See, let me tell you the bitter truth nobody wants to hear.

Most of you are not lazy or "unlucky." You are chemically sabotaging your own destiny before you even brush your teeth.
​The first 60 minutes of your day is a war zone. Your brain is begging for direction. It runs on dopamine, that’s the fuel for your motivation. But what do you do?
​You wake up. Your eyes haven't even adjusted to the darkness of your room, and gbam, you pick up your phone.
​You check WhatsApp to see who ignored you. You check X to see who is fighting. You check Instagram to see your mates buying cars you can't afford yet.

​You think you are just "waking up," but scientifically? You are flooding your brain with cheap, unearned dopamine. You are frying your reward system. By 8 AM, your brain is already tired. It has consumed "content" but produced nothing.
​And let me speak to the men for a second.
​I write about men a lot because I see what you go through. The pressure is much. You wake up and the first thought is Rent, School fees, the woman you want to impress.
​It is terrifying.
​So, you grab your phone to escape. The phone is your pacifier. It numbs the panic of the morning. But that comfort is a lie.
​When you start your day with cheap dopamine, actual work feels like torture. You have programmed your neurochemistry to be a consumer, not a king.
​You are training your brain to be weak in a world that eats weak men for breakfast.
​Here is the hard truth (and you can drag me if you like):
Your morning mood doesn’t determine how your day goes. It determines your capacity to suffer for your success.
​If you can’t survive the first hour of the day without a screen, how do you want to survive the economy?
​Protect your first hour.
Don't touch that phone.
Stare at the ceiling. Pray. Do pushups. Go for a morning jug or walk.
Let your brain starve for a bit so it learns to hunt for the hard things.
​Stop feeding your destiny to the algorithm.

@MimiTheDesigner You’ve not met the ones that will sit in their cars & start hooting or flashing lights to get your attention, as how sir?

This is how you manage stakeholders! Everyone comes into the meeting and says “yes”.

[George from 🕹prodmgmt.world @nurijanian]

junior pm: i have to run my first global alignment meeting and i'm freaking out

senior pm: what's your plan?

junior pm: schedule the call, walk everyone through the proposal, get buy-in

senior pm: how many people?

junior pm: like 8 stakeholders across 4 time zones

senior pm: and you're meeting them for the first time... in the alignment meeting?

junior pm: well yeah. that's the point of the meeting

senior pm: there's your problem

junior pm: what do you mean?

senior pm: alignment meetings don't create alignment

junior pm: then what's the point?

senior pm: they confirm alignment you already have

junior pm: i don't follow

senior pm: have you talked to any of these 8 people yet?

junior pm: i sent them the pre-read

senior pm: that's not talking

junior pm: so i should... call them first?

senior pm: every single one. 1:1. before the big meeting

junior pm: that's 8 separate calls just to prep for 1 meeting

senior pm: now you're getting it

junior pm: seems like a lot

senior pm: it's the whole job

junior pm: what would i even say in these calls?

senior pm: you're not saying. you're listening

junior pm: listening to what?

senior pm: their fears. their motivations. their hidden objections

junior pm: why wouldn't they just say that in the meeting?

senior pm: politics. pride. audience

junior pm: so they'll tell me privately what they won't say publicly?

senior pm: if you ask right

junior pm: how do i ask right?

senior pm: frame it as soliciting their expertise

junior pm: "i'm new to this and want your input"?

senior pm: exactly. people love feeling like the wise advisor

junior pm: and then i just... shut up?

senior pm: shut up and write everything down

junior pm: what am i looking for?

senior pm: conflicting goals between stakeholders. who wants what and why

junior pm: ok say i do all this. what changes?

senior pm: two things

junior pm: go on

senior pm: first, you adjust your proposal based on what you learned

junior pm: makes sense

senior pm: second, you sprinkle their exact phrases into your presentation

junior pm: why?

senior pm: people support what they helped create

junior pm: even if they didn't technically create it

senior pm: especially then

junior pm: what about the difficult ones? the ones who'll disagree no matter what?

senior pm: you pre-negotiate

junior pm: how?

senior pm: in your 1:1, you say "i know you have concerns about X. i can't fully address them. can you disagree and commit in the meeting?"

junior pm: you can just ask that?

senior pm: you'd be surprised how often the answer is yes

junior pm: because you asked privately

senior pm: because you respected them enough to ask

junior pm: so the alignment meeting itself is basically...

senior pm: a ceremony

junior pm: confirming decisions already made

senior pm: in hallways. in 1:1s. in coffee chats

junior pm: the meeting before the meeting

senior pm: now you're ready to run alignment

@nwaegbe_nkem @iam_jerrymoses She’s not. Anyone earning below N1m per month would likely see a slight increase in net income.

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@I_am_General3 @seun_akdel @Tspiceskitchen lol, It’s a factory, welfare of workers is not priority.

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@Amanda___praise This is super important, I thought we all knew this but I’m surprised at some conversions I hear these days.

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@talk2samh @BigMarrk @Kasieobi_1 Why is she asking her brother & not his wife-to-be? Because she has no relationship with the woman which now begs the question, what are you doing on a train of someone you’re not friends with?

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@SeiyefaEgein @gabriel_bolatit @mrlurvy 🤣🤣

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@Airdropglobal5 @BoluAbiodun1 Yes! BVN lookup & bank statement. Switched to Mono some years back tho

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@eazygabazin @Maputodog @IrexThegreat She could have shared her findings with her brother directly but no, the joy she was looking for in shaming his wife was more important. Very well deserved reaction.

[Ayò-Bánkólé Akíntújoyè @AyoBankole]

In your 20s, chasing salary instead of skills is how people get stuck early.

This is not the season to play it safe. It’s the time to stretch yourself. Say yes to roles that challenge you. Work with people who make you think harder. Get uncomfortable. Learn how to solve real problems, lead people, and think strategically.

The money will come, and when it does, it’ll come bigger if your skills are solid.
Skills compound. They open doors, build confidence, and increase your long-term value. 

Build skill equity now. It pays dividends for the rest of your life.

@Odsonfx @GimmieThatMango @BabyWhale___ Guy, it’s because they don’t take custody. The parent the stays without the kids pays child support regardless of gender. You don’t know this?

[Nathaniel Bassey @nathanielblow]

My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME.
You are blessed !

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@grey_ello @adeife_adeoye @David_Kord @sraeaugust The former. Although she knew exactly what she was doing tweeting that rant. It was a click bait.

[Rita ✨🚀 @rithia_]

@adeife_adeoye @David_Kord @sraeaugust 1-3 years is entry level, not mid level. If you can’t differentiate this then it means you’re searching in the wrong place.
