i sit here and think about how, if you truly believe in yourself, put in the work, and trust God with the process, you have a chance to become the person you believe you were created to be. be crazy about your dreams, relentless with the work, and prayerful through every season. pray over the vision, trust God’s timing, and keep going. some dreams require more faith than logic. 🙏🏽
what a privilege to be in the fight. you get to wake up and throw everything you have at a target way out of your reach. you get to fail, absorb the damage, and come back with a better understanding of what it takes. you get to chase things that might be completely beyond you, just to see what happens when you refuse to quit. and then you get to, God willing, wake up tomorrow and do it all again. what a gift.
If you want to make the most progress you've ever made in your life, you need to be alone. You need an extended period of isolation, not influenced by friends or media, spent building your future. You need space to learn, think, experiment, and fail.
Give yourself 6 months. Focus solely on the development of your mind, body, spirit, and finances. This is how you get ahead of most people.
I need to eat pasta in Italy, croissants in Paris, sushi in Japan, tacos in Mexico, kimchi in South Korea, curry in India, pho in Vietnam, oxtail in Jamaica, fondue in Switzerland & fish and chips in the UK. That’s when I’ll know I’ve made it 😭
Our people are Africa’s greatest resource. Give young Africans capital, training and mentorship, and they will create opportunities not just for themselves, but for their employees, suppliers and communities.

YOU DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO QUESTION YOUR WORTH. YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH STORMS THAT WOULD'VE DROWNED MOST PEOPLE - AND YOU'RE SILLL STANDING, SILL SWINGING, STILL HUNGRY. THIS NEXT LEVEL ISN'T A DREAM - IT'S A PROMISE. YOU'RE NOT HOPING ANYMORE. YOU'RE CLAIMING WHAT'S ALREADY YOURS.
Sometimes, the greatest thing you fit give a young person no be money. Na opportunity.
Look at wetin happen when Baba entered Bae U’s world.
A man of his age and experience sat down with a young man whose style dey completely different from wetin he is used to.
Baba no just sit there looking serious.
He matched the energy, played along and showed Nigerians another side of himself.
And who helped make that connection happen?
CharlyBoy.
Fada believed in the young people behind that show enough to pull Baba into their space.
That one get lesson inside.
To the older generation: don’t only tell young people to succeed.
Give them room.
Open doors. Recommend them.
Trust them with opportunities.
To the younger generation: don’t wait for somebody to hand you a future.
Build something worth believing in.
When opportunity comes, be ready.
Because sometimes, all a young person needs is one person with influence to say:
“I believe in what you are doing. Go ahead.”
And sometimes, all an older person needs is the willingness to say:
“Let me enter your world and see what you are building.”
When generations support each other, everybody gets to grow.
Na so legacy suppose work.
@realyobarnub@carter8f If you own a house valued at 100M, you are worth 100M but if you need 100M for business you may not want to sell it because you live in it, instead you can take a loan against the house, that way you can still live in the house and make money with the business to service the loan
