The only way to stand out in the AI age is by being incredibly creative

My top 3 observations of successful people:

📌 They act right away. There’s almost no gap between a bright idea they’ve made up their minds to build and when they start working on it.

📌 They don’t stay confused for long. They pick up their phones, call others who may know the answer or consult to get to the answers quickly.

📌 They don’t stay around trying to make good, perfect. They have a threshold for ‘decent’ and they optimise for that. They do not sit around too long for details that don’t matter.

When you scrap FAAC, you will see the economic power of the North

Then you will realise corn, soybeans and cows are as valuable as oil and gas

The North that should face lithium and silica are chasing “oil-producing” status

The Sarduana built a world-class economy based on groundnuts, tin, and columbite. Today, his legacy holders are chasing NNPC for contracts to import PMS

FAAC is fake life

A hard pill to swallow. If your parents never built wealth they cannot teach you how to build wealth. Love them but find new teachers.

Read books.

Most of the problems people face with money, career, and life are not new. Someone struggled with it, studied it, and wrote the solution down decades ago.

Books compress experience. You get 30 or 40 years of someone else’s lessons in a few hours. That is why reading saves you time, money, and unnecessary mistakes.

If you want better results, borrow better thinking from people who have already been where you are trying to go.

Today, an ordinary ant taught me an extraordinary lesson: failure is not always the end; sometimes it's preparation for what's ahead.

Keep going, keep learning, and keep growing. 🐜💪

What defines success? And how can you replicate it?

Luck, as I often say, plays an important role. I have been lucky on my own journey. But with all that, we still face uncertainties, surprises, reversals.

What really distinguishes an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur who succeeds, is how we respond to those changing circumstances.

"If there is one lesson I have learned throughout my journey, it is that success is rarely determined by who starts first or even who starts strongest. More often, it is determined by who remains committed long enough to see their vision become reality."

Ray Kroc, the "founder" of McDonald's as we know it today, said this - "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

That quote alone inspired me to pursue entrepreneurship.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Success has no formula except for grace. I’ve seen all sorts of people succeed. I have seen hard-working people succeed, and I have seen lazy people succeed. I have seen the truthful win and liars triumph. Seen the poor get rich, and the rich get even richer without explanation.

If your organization, school, or workplace values financial literacy, I’m available to speak and educate.

We need more people earning well, investing consistently, and putting their money to work.

I’m also working on something for people looking to increase their income and improve their careers. The goal is to help more people move up financially and become investors.

Hopefully, this leads to more collaborations and a bigger impact.

"Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man."

"The wealthiest Africans 10 years from now will not be the Dangotes and the Masiyiwas of this world.

It will be the young people sitting right now building AI applications for agriculture, health sector, food security..."

That prediction came from billionaire entrepreneur Strive Masiyiwa himself at Global Africa Business Initiative's 2025 Unstoppable Africa event.

His reasoning?

The AI revolution has fundamentally changed the startup game:

• Lower barriers to entry: AI businesses require 1/10th the capital of traditional ventures

• Unprecedented scalability: Solutions can cross borders at speeds unimaginable 30 years ago

• Rapid developer growth: African developers are growing faster than their European counterparts on platforms like Groq

• Real-world applications: From crop diagnostics on farmer smartphones to AI-powered education in local languages

The ingredients for wealth creation on the continent are changing

But Masiyiwa's prediction only comes true if progress continues to be made on critical foundations — electricity, connectivity, data infrastructure, digital skills, and language inclusivity.
