This is how much it cost me to visit
Monaco 🇲🇨
Monaco is not as expensive as people make it seem, you just have to know when to visit..

Road Safety by the airport stopped my driver today.

Driver called me panicking that he can’t find the fire extinguisher and C-Caution and the officer is hassling him. I remembered the post from a few days ago about the cost of the charges being around N3-5k.

I spoke to the officer, told him even though I knew it’s somewhere in the car, he should please issue us a ticket and let him continue my errand. He was let off with a warning.

Please help me tag that tweet I want to see the actual costs and RT for awareness. 😀

Someone built a fitness app using the same psychological mechanics as gambling

This might work better than every normal fitness app 😭😭

You bet money on whether you’ll hit 10,000 steps today

If you fail, you lose your money

If you succeed, you split the money from everyone who didn’t

So disciplined people literally profit off lazy people

Most fitness apps try motivating you with streaks and notifications

This one motivates you with financial fear

Imagine realizing at 11:52pm you still need 1,700 more steps or you lose $30

Entire friend groups would be outside walking laps around their neighborhood before midnight trying not to lose their steppa challenge

It sounds stupid but this would probably motivate people better than any other fitness product

Would you use this yourself?

Solar owners in Nigeria, let me tell you something nobody is talking about.

You spent ₦3M–₦8M on panels, inverter, battery. You're generating 15–20kWh a day. Your house uses maybe 8–10kWh. The rest? It sits in your battery until it's full. Then your charge controller just… stops. Your panels are literally cooking in Lagos sun producing power that goes NOWHERE.

Meanwhile, the neighbor next door is spending ₦5,000/day on fuel. The tenant upstairs is rationing between charging her phone and running a fan. The shop across the street closes shop by 4pm because they don’t have gen.

You have surplus power. They have unmet demand. There's a 10-metre cable between you. But there's no system to meter it, bill for it, or make it safe.

That's what @tspowergrid is.

We built the missing layer- a smart metering hub that sits between your solar system and your neighbors. It tracks every kilowatt-hour. Neighbors top up via WhatsApp/Telegram. You set your own price. ₦150/kWh, ₦200/kWh- whatever makes sense for your street. Earnings hit your dashboard in real time.

Here's the full picture:

THE HOST (you): You own the solar system. You install our Gateway Hub. You become a micro-utility. You earn ₦80K–₦150K/month from 3–5 neighbors.

THE NEIGHBOR: They get cheaper power than petrol gen (₦200/kWh vs ₦330+/kWh for fuel). No capital outlay. No generator maintenance. No noise. No fumes. They just tap and pay.

THE HUB: Our hardware smart meters at each connection point. It measures generation, consumption, battery state, and billing. All data flows live to our cloud platform.

THE PLATFORM: Real-time dashboard. Earnings tracking. Neighbor management. Wallet top-ups. Withdraw to bank. This is the actual business. We're not a solar company. We're a platform company. Solar is just how hosts get onboarded.

THE BILLING: Prepaid wallet system. Neighbor loads ₦2,000 via WhatsApp. Meter deducts as they consume. When wallet hits zero, power pauses. No arguments. No "I'll pay you later." No awkward conversations.

Now let me address the FEAR:

NEMSA just released new guidelines because fire incidents from solar installations are INCREASING across Nigeria. Battery explosions. Inverter overheating. Bad wiring. Mixing old and new batteries. No BMS on lithium setups. Kano's Singer Market burned twice in two weeks- solar battery explosion suspected. ₦5 BILLION in damage.

This happens when there's no monitoring. No management system. No one watching the data.
Our hub monitors your system 24/7. Battery temp. Charge cycles. Load distribution. Fault alerts go straight to your phone via the web app. This is what "managed solar" means. Not just install and pray.

THE BUSINESS MODEL:

If you don't have solar → Full Stack package. ₦6M, 5kW system, 3-month installment. Panels, inverter, lithium battery, gateway hub, meters for 3 neighbors, installation, 12-month warranty.

If you already have solar → Upgrade Kit. ₦800K+. We add the metering layer, connect your neighbors, and you start earning in days.

We take a 5% platform fee on transactions. That's it. You keep 95% of what your neighbors pay.

IBPM installers, solar companies, estate managers- we're not competing with you. We're giving your customers a reason to say yes faster. "This system pays for itself" is the most powerful sales line in solar. We make it true.

This is not a concept. The platform is live. Data loop is working. First Lagos pilot is being installed.

Be your own Power Grid.

I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka.

I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing.

She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now."

I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains."

I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people."

That idea was so beautiful I agreed.

Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying.

I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough.

She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it."

She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby.

I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it.

Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.

Some years ago, when I was a PA, my boss wanted to become the Minister for Petroleum of Nigeria.

He was working with NNPC at the time, and the Vice-President was a fellow pastor in the same denomination whose campaign from church to church was facilitated by my boss

After the Vice-President's swearing-in ceremony, my boss organized a dinner in honour of the Vice-President and the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity at the time

The event was held at the Lagos Intercontinental hotel, and at the time, I thought we were just honouring the grace of God in the lives of these two great products of the Nigerian church who suddenly found themselves in the corridors of power at the federal level.

Weeks after the dinner, my boss began to lay out plans and designs to become a minister through the good office of the Vice-President

He flew to Abuja every other week but was only allowed to see Mr Laolu, the PA to the Vice President.
He knew the list of ministerial nominees was being compiled, but the man he wanted to see to push his case wouldn't grant him an audience.

One day, he heard the man was in the RCCG camp for a service and decided to go and see him there. In order to look important, he told the driver and me to dress very well as we would be going to the Vice President.

When we got to the entrance of the estate where the Vice President was staying in RCCG Camp, the security was very serious.
They asked my boss if he had an appointment.
He whisked out his phone like James Bond, opened the photo gallery, and tapped a picture of himself and the Vice-President.

The security man looked at it and hissed!

"Oga, does that look like an appointment letter?" He asked

My boss tried to reason with the man

"Just let me have five minutes with him, and I will be very grateful."

The man looked at my boss and said, "Oga, clear out of here!"

We turned around and returned to Lagos.

The following Sunday, my boss began to preach and he began to say all sorts of negative things about the Vice President

"We put him there, and he turned his back on us. He stopped picking up calls, and he now has more important people to attend to than those who helped him get to that position."

My boss prayed and fasted.
I knew he sent his CV and other materials to the Vice President, and he was very hopeful that he would get an appointment.

Finally, judgment day arrived.

Ministerial nominees were announced in The Sun Newspaper and other dailies
My boss sent me to get copies

He read the list of nominees over and over again.

When he was done, he said, this man really didn't have any power in this government.

Glorified spare tyre!

From then he never spoke about the Vice President without bile and a lot of ill will.

I learnt a lot from that experience.
