I've received more spam calls in my 4 years of living in the UK than I did in my entire years in Nigeria.
What exactly is going on? I keep blocking and yet they keep calling. 🫠
Dear Hustlers,
Private Equity is one of the fastest ways billionaires create wealth, yet most people never learn how it works.
In 2007, Blackstone acquired Hilton Hotels in a deal worth about $26 billion.
They spent years improving operations, expanding the brand globally, and increasing profitability.
When Hilton returned to the stock market, Blackstone gradually sold portions of its stake over several years, ultimately generating tens of billions of dollars in value from the investment.
Now imagine the same model in Nigeria.
Buy a private school for ₦70 million.
Invest ₦50 million in new classrooms, a computer lab, school buses, better teachers, and marketing.
Enrollment grows from 400 to 1,500 students.
Five years later, the school is valued at ₦950 million.
Or buy a neighborhood restaurant for ₦18 million, renovate it with ₦30 million, expand to three branches, and sell it for ₦650 million.
Or acquire a small bakery for ₦50 million, improve production and distribution, and later sell it for ₦350 million.
That's private equity.
Buy.
Improve.
Grow.
Exit.
The biggest fortunes are not built by trading businesses.
They are built by transforming businesses into more valuable assets.
Are you learning?
If you survived all 22 episodes of The Polygamist, you deserve a cup of tea, counselling, and a warm blanket.
Because Jonasi Gomora is not a character you just watch.
He follows you into your thoughts.
Ladies, let us be honest. Many of you look at men like Jonasi from a distance and think, “That is the kind of man I want.”
But could you actually stand him in real life?
Could you live with that charm?
Those secrets?
That confidence?
That smooth talking?
That double life energy?
Meet Jonasi Gomora, played by the talented S’dumo Mtshali.
And my brother, S’dumo did not just act.
He delivered.
He nailed this role so well that Jonasi became more than entertainment. He became an eye-opener for society. Through this character, we saw what it really means to live with a man who knows how to smile in public while causing stress behind closed doors.
That is why this show hits differently.
Jonasi made some women appreciate their own husbands more, because sometimes people keep comparing their partners to what they see outside, without knowing the full story inside someone else’s home.
The grass always looks greener from far away.
Until you get close and realize it is being watered with secrets.
That “perfect man” you admire from outside might be a full-time problem inside the house.
S’dumo Mtshali deserves respect for this performance.
He made us laugh.
He made us angry.
He made us think.
He made us question what we call love, marriage, and loyalty.
Jonasi Gomora is dangerous because he is believable.
And that is powerful acting.
