Practical AI | I help small businesses save time & make sales by using AI to handle messages, bookings, follow-ups, reports, and turn busywork into booked calls
Hnmmmmmm, this is a serious issue.
I had a particular issue with my daughter in a particular year that would have completely derailed Her future if not strategically managed, A school couldn't get a teacher for a specific course she had done for an entire A levels year, They wanted Her to change to something else in the second year which of course would be the exam year, She lost Her confidence and began to doubt so many things, of course She's the minority, I had to get 2 different Universities Lecturer from Nigeria for online Classes and support for the entire year, cost a bit but we ended up with an A still.
Now a silly online troll will say She didn't merit it
The school still didn't provide the teacher only online platform, the other 2 students on the course fell off, One had to repeat in another school, the second one got derailed and now work in a job He wouldn't have somewhere
There are other examples, At least I can talk about Nigerian Parents Here, most of us invest significantly in extra tutelage, coaching and support for our children , Paid for heavily to ensure good grades are maintained.
My kids started off at private Saturday school because I couldn't afford for the entire week just to give them an edge and maintain a certain standard.
We sacrificed/sacrifices a lot of personal comforts to maintain good grades, and aspire to meaningful future for them in this land because we know they are already against so much. Not acknowledging it is pretending, A black child excelling in GCSE And A Levels is beyond just the school, As a parent I am heavily involved and so is many of my friends.
One of ours went to Harvard's on full Scholarship from Brampton college, The Mum sacrificed so much, a whole lot
Yet some online nuisance wants to reduce that to DEI , No way, it won't happen, God will not allow it and we will start talking about our realities now.
I am sacrificing so much, moved Home, changed jobs just to ensure better economic support for my kids, No idiot will reduce all that to DEI when my Children find themselves at the very top because by Gods grace they will and they won't be killing themselves for any troll too.
I take Mental Health and emotional health extremely seriously for every black child around me. We need to build them in a different way, We cannot afford to let them get into their heads.
It will be Werey lafin wo were going forward
I have friends who are older and very fit because of their lifestyle. They don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. They also have the most unfit kids who don't follow their example. This has always worried me as I am raising young children. I have also seen families with hard-working and wealthy parents who raise the laziest and most entitled children.
We always want our children to do better than us, but when and where does this go wrong for most people? I think it comes from the time and attention we personally give our kids and the lapses we allow.
My wife and I are early risers. I have a particular sleep problem I am still trying to solve, but my kids can sleep all day on vacation if you let them. A friend with an older son who had just graduated and was back home, jobless, used to tell me how alarmed he was that the son would go out all night, come back early in the morning, and sleep all day.
I told him then that if he didn't force him to change that habit, he would remain jobless and stay with his parents longer. They eventually forced him to change, and he moved out. He has a job now and struggles a lot. His parents are concerned that he isn't thriving. He is now almost 30, and I think about this all the time. At 25, I was a beast and had started many businesses.
While we want our kids and young adults to experience life on their own terms in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in, we can't help but notice that others whose children were more disciplined are thriving better. One indicator I have seen that correlates with success in younger people is fitness.
A friend’s son started going to the gym regularly, and he even inspired his cousins to do so. I checked on LinkedIn recently, and he is doing exceptionally well as a lawyer and investment banker without any family connections or assistance. His younger cousins, who are looking up to him, are following in his footsteps. I decided to get my kids to spend more time with him.
The role models our children need may be closer to their age than ours. It is why we need to amplify the lifestyles of young, disciplined, and successful people more. Not every person will make it through creative pursuits. I stress this to my kids all the time. There are billions of YouTube channels, but there is only one MrBeast or IShowSpeed.
Social media is highlighting more unrealistic role models than the most useful ones. My daughter is likely one of the most intelligent young children that I know, but because she doesn't want to be seen as a nerd, she is adapting to popular culture to blend in, in a way that scares me. This sometimes affects the way she learns. While I don't want to restrict her now from experiencing the world, I have realized that she needs different role models.
My son’s role models are nerds, and he nerds out in ways that surprise me and it is also worrying. We can be watching a movie, and he goes online to research it and summarise the plot so he can leave to code. He is not experiencing life enough outside the internet.
They will either eventually be ok in a world very different from ours or struggle in a world that becomes worse than ours, without the skills to build personal resilience and strong social skills.
I recently had a personal experience that made me realize I was fortunate to have left home early and to have different role models from my parents. Having a broken home led to different outcomes for my siblings and me, but the fact that I had strong personalities like my mother’s uncle and the uncles I grew up around helped me learn a lot more about life and priorities.
The world is a very complex place, and life is not a bed of roses. While we want the best outcomes for our kids, we have to finally admit that they will learn far more from others than they will ever learn from us. The best thing we can do for them is expose them to the right kind of people early enough, then hope and pray that we didn't misread those people.
It is unacceptable that people in the UK are being given passport appointment dates as far as January, 2027.
This issue has been raised repeatedly, yet nothing changes. The demand clearly outweighs the current capacity, and it is long overdue for practical solutions.
We urgently need additional consular services in cities like Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast, and Newcastle. It is not reasonable for everyone to travel to London for essential services.
This is not just an inconvenience, it affects people’s livelihoods, travel plans, and legal documentation.
We cannot keep quiet until it affects us personally.
I urge everyone experiencing this to speak up and tag the embassy @Nigerialondon
Our collective voices are the only way to push for change.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

A Monday in my business.
Before AI: 11 hrs, drowning in admin, 0 strategic work.
After AI: 9 hrs, 4 hrs of real work, energy left.
Same clients. Same business. Different operating system.
It's not about fewer hours. It's about better hours.
I used to spend 2.5 days/week on emails, proposals, and client onboarding.
Now it takes 30 minutes.
Email triage: 5 mins
Proposals: 5 mins
Onboarding: 12 mins

New build: An AI agent that calls leads in under 60 seconds
Lead submits form → AI calls immediately → books a meeting on my calendar
Hot leads? Instant call + booking link Warm leads? Email nurture
Unfit? Polite "not the right fit" email
No manual chasing. Walkthrough here👇
Everyone wants to build AI voice agents.
Here's the blueprint:
3 building blocks, 3 steps.
The golden rule? One agent. One job.
Make it bulletproof. Then expand.
Save this. 🔖
I’m in a good place financially. I’ve worked hard, invested wisely, and I’ve been able to enjoy some of the finer things in life without guilt.
And honestly? I truly believe the best days of my life are still ahead.
A client was spending 3-4 hours every week manually entering wholesale orders from Excel into their ERP.

Every time a team gets overwhelmed, the first instinct is "we need to hire."
Most of the time the problem isn't headcount. It's process.
Before you open a job listing, ask: is this task the same every time?
If yes → automate it first.
