One of the biggest lies I was told was that learning a skill alone automatically leads to making money.
I believed it for a long time. After learning the skill, I expected my income to change. It didnโt.
The only time things started changing was when I learnt how to sell the skills I had learnt. The reality is that there are thousands of highly skilled people out there.
And the painful thing is that the people getting paid are often the ones who know how to sell, not just the ones who know how to do the work.
But the game is the game.
My new YouTube video is ready and will drop tomorrow.

The Christian Lent started today.
The Muslim Ramadan started today.
If we agree that during Fasting, it is forbidden and sinful to lie, to steal, to bribe, to collect bribe, to gossip, and to engage in crime, if we agree with all the above,
I think elections should hold during Fasting.
So that if you want to rig and go to hell,
You will make your journey easy.
Retweet if you agree.

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the โฆ10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
