on my birthday, one thing almost everyone (who has worked with me) who posted about me mentioned was reliability.
that day reminded me once again that skills alone aren’t enough. skills create opportunities, but only when people trust you to show up and deliver consistently. some of the best opportunities i’ve gotten came from conversations i wasn’t even part of.
soooo….. do great work, but don’t stop there. build strong relationships. the real leverage comes from being someone people genuinely enjoy working with, someone they trust enough to recommend when your name comes up in rooms you haven’t entered yet.

The next President of Nigeria must cancel Sharia law in the whole of Nigeria and it should be enshrined in the constitution that no future government has the right to implement it.
We must put an end to this barbaric behavior once and for all.
The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.
What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.
I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps
But
1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or
2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or
3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)
