ON THE ROAD again for the Imole ReElection Campaign, and I’m listening to ORIADE the new Album by my Nephew @davido which is CONSTANTLY reminding me of the AMAZING GRACE that has been MY LIGHT and GUIDE this last 3 and half years that I have been Governor of Osun State
They say my call for peace is weak, but I KNOW WHO I BE.
TELL EVERYBODY: Imole is winning his Re-Election on August 15. If you ask JULIE or anyone In Osun State, they will tell you no vacancy in Abeere, those perpetuating violence against our people are ALREADY FALLING.
B4 B4 it was ZANZIBAR for tourism. Now YAYA and everyone is saying GIMMIE DAT TING in Osun
Oh…. YAYA!

Focus less on whether the story happened exactly this way, and more on the message behind it — resilience, patience, discipline, and never giving up.
Sometimes a look away tweet explains real life better than facts.
I came to Lagos with one box, ₦18,500 in my account, and one contact who stopped picking my calls after the second week.
For the first three months, I slept in a shop at night around Ojuelegba because I couldn��t afford rent. During the day, I acted like everything was fine.
₦15k. That ₦15k turned into referrals. Referrals turned into steady work. Steady work turned into me finally getting my own single room in Bariga.
Today, every time people say “Lagos will humble you,” I agree. But I also know Lagos has a strange way of rewarding people
“Oga abeg buy one sachet, I never chop since morning.”
I don’t know why, but I gave him the food instead.
That night I was angry at myself. I genuinely thought my life was finished.
Two days later, one random guy I met at a viewing center called me for a small design job.
I would iron one shirt every Sunday so people wouldn’t notice I only had two.
One afternoon, after trekking from Yaba to Surulere to save transport fare, I bought food with my last ₦700. Before I could even sit down to eat, one little boy selling pure water tapped me and said,
You just made your first $1M. Your brain immediately jumps to the bigger house, the nicer car, that business idea you’ve been itching to execute.
Resist all of it, that instinct is exactly why most people who come into money are broke again within a few years.
The move nobody teaches you: do nothing.
Let it sit. Don’t deploy it, don’t try to flip it, don’t show it off. Park it somewhere safe that pays you while you think. Lock it into a 2–3 month yield-bearing instrument e.g T-bills, low-risk positions, safe and battle-tested protocols.
You’re not trying to get rich off it; you’re already there. You’re buying yourself time to think clearly and getting paid to do it.
Run the numbers. $1M at just 5% APR:
→ $50,000 a year → $4,167 a month → $137 a day
Every day you wake up, $137 landed in your account. You didn’t touch your principal. You didn’t lift a finger, and if that 5% compounds daily, you’re closer to $51,200 a year, the money starts making money on the money.
So before you spend a single dollar or naira, ask yourself one question: can this purchase pay for itself from the interest alone? If yes, you’ve earned it. If no, you’re eating your seed.
Anyone can GET money. Keeping it is a different skill entirely and it starts with the discipline to sit still while everyone expects you to splurge.
Sometimes parking it and letting it pay you is the best play ever. This is from experience, don’t joke with your once-in-a-lifetime SEED when it comes your way.
