No be to dey quote up n down, what is being put in place to deviate people from that direction...
Like where are the available Jobs, fair and open recruitment processes and living conditions in place to motivate and convince people otherwise.
@officialEFCC is this true?
There are things one can comment on that people would not believe or understand. When people unfairly malign some founders, I get upset because I have seen them at their lowest and helped them with basic things they couldn't afford, even after they raised so-called “millions of dollars.”
Many don't understand how startup funding works. Announcements may be made, but the money doesn't always come in one chunk, and overheads are insane when you are growing fast.
This is why I am always against large fundraising announcements, as they are rarely a true reflection of the truth. Even VCs who do fundraises never get all the money at once and sweat through capital calls.
A relative in the industry once came to Ghana and was looking for a cheap hotel. I didn't understand why someone who gave out millions of dollars was living like that until I was on the other side. Those management fees don't land like the lottery. You suffer for it, and it doesn't cover much. It was why I decided not to do that anymore and take life easy.
So many of the perceptions people have about wealth are wrong. Cash flow is everything, and things can go horribly wrong when inflows and outflows are mismatched.
I have repeated several times here that my uncle, with all his banking career income and billions of Naira in assets, was down to his last 1000 Naira at home in 1999, yet we still ended up buying a bank that year. The lesson of coming out of that hole never left me. It is why I make some small, random investments that people may not understand, which sometimes pay off unexpectedly.
A domain sale once helped to pay my children’s school fees. A paid Calendly appointment bought my wife a set of tires and a fridge. The key is ALWAYS to keep earning and investing in what can sustain cash flow. There are investments for capital gains and for cash flow. The magic in all of this is keeping the burn rate low. No amount is too small to save or make.
An unexpected £150 overdraft from Barclays during my lowest period enabled me to take clients to a dinner that changed my life.
The Moon astronauts shared their location…with all of us!

@Mrbankstips Every single human who has ever lived is in that photo — except the 4 astronauts who took it. That never gets old. 🌍✨ Anyone else feel small (in a good way) looking at shots like this?
