ENOUGH TIME & EFFORT
EVERYTHING you believe or believable, but your choice of believe might be Faux so much it consume up to 6 generation after you (even if you all live 100 years long before you can even summon the energy, effort, force that can make it shift for you
The law of averages: if you try something TOO MANY times you will get the outcome that you expect.
Everything works given enough time & effort.
If you want heads, and you flip a coin 100x you will most likely get heads.
If you want to succeed at business, and you stay on it long enough - you will most likely succeed.
I did it again yesterday fam. I looked over at the lady sitting beside me and saw her wristwatch was on her right hand. I leaned over and asked if she was left handed. When she said no, I dropped the trap,
"If you need to correct the time while wearing it, how do you reach the crown?"
I sat back and watched the exact moment logic hit her. She unclasped the watch, switched it to her left hand, and restored order to the universe.
Mission accomplished!!
I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age.
Their criteria is always;
> below 27
> NYSC certificate
>2.1
> atleasg 1yr experience
But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country.
A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line.
He doesn't have a first class.
He didn't go to any university.
He's not young.
But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent.
Make it make sense
We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation.
Judicious in Micro economics but dastardly stupid in macroeconomic conditions.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel.
He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said:
"Who amongst you is Muhammad?"
This community transformer racket has to stop completely. It is daylight robbery disguised as community self-help, and the regulatory double standard is sickening.
Look at how the power sector works in Nigeria:
When a community transformer blows up, the DisCo goes deaf. You write letters, make calls, and nothing happens. Six months down the line, residents are suffocating in darkness, small businesses are dying, and fuel prices are draining everybody's pockets.
Out of sheer desperation, landlords gather, task every household 50k, 100k, or more, and scrape together 5 to 8 million Naira to buy a brand new transformer, buy heavy copper cables, and pay for poles.
The moment that equipment is energized, the DisCo claims it as company property. They add it to their network balance sheet, and within two weeks, they start distributing Band A and Band B bills. If you do not pay, they disconnect you with the ladder leaning on the very pole you bought with your own sweat.
How can a private, for-profit utility company take free capital equipment from struggling citizens, pay zero interest, give zero equity, and then charge those same citizens full price to use it?
If NERC mandated that customers who pay upfront for meters under the MAP scheme must be refunded their money over time through energy credits, why does the exact same logic not apply to transformers?
A meter costs 100k to 150k and you refund it via monthly energy units.
A transformer costs 6 to 10 million Naira funded by an entire street, and you pretend it was a charitable donation to a private entity?
This injustice has to end.
If a community is forced to step in and buy infrastructure because a DisCo failed its obligations, NERC should make automatic amortization mandatory:
Every single household on that street that contributed to buying that transformer should have their meter credited with monthly energy units until the full cost of the asset, cables, and installation logistics is completely paid back.
You cannot let private DisCos enrich their asset portfolios with crowd-funded community blood and then charge those same people premium tariffs for power. If DisCos want to own the asset, they must refund the people who paid for it.
Honestly, I have never read a hadith as frightening as this one.
Please take a few minutes to read it till the end.
“Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:”
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
The first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who died a martyr.
He will be brought and Allah will make known to him His favours and he will recognize them.
[The Almighty] will say:
And what did you do about them?
He will say:
