Someone I know had his citizenship oath ceremony cancelled indefinitely for no reason. He sued the government, won, and is now a citizen. A scared immigrant wouldn’t have sued; they’d “leave everything to God” and blame their “village people” for their “misfortune”.
Some immigrants are too scared and timid for my liking. You’re not in the country illegally, so why are you so afraid of everything and everyone? Is this how you intend to succeed abroad?
Know your rights. Being an immigrant doesn’t mean you should surrender your voice, be an olodo, be treated unfairly, or allow people to take advantage of you.

Peller and the Olodo Uprising: An Unpopular Opinion
Let me shock you with a statement of fact: Artificial intelligence will replace doctors before it can replace someone like Peller. Many people accuse Peller of being goofy. And they are right. In fact, he can be downright silly. Yet that boy has an X factor that makes him the centre of gravity amongst many celebrities. Be patient. I'm going somewhere.
And why is that? Because it takes a human to be goofy and act slapstick. I do not see AI ever doing stand-up comedy, like any of our comedians, or improv kookiness, like Peller. That spontaneity and wacky playfulness are things all of us had in childhood, but most of us lost as we became adults.
This so called Olodo Uprising is a challenge and as a parent, encourage your child to study and improve their minds.
It is good to go to school for sixteen years like the average person, then get a job and slave at it from age twenty-four to sixty-five, only to retire too tired to enjoy your savings.
Yes, that is one path to life. You might even say a viable route. But in this day and age of cognitive computing, there are other options. So don't pressure your children or mock your wards because they aren't getting the best grades. Don't 'see your mate' them! The world has changed.
Most of what we had to study for has been solved by AI. AI does accountancy better than accountants and engineering better than engineers.
In Nigeria today, the Governor of Kaduna and I landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport from London and didn't have to deal with a human being until we left the airport. AI has automated everything. E-gates scan your passport, and off you go!
Even music and movies are losing out to AI, as it produces songs and screenplays so good you wouldn't believe they weren't the brainchild of a real human.
In California, my friends and I take driverless cars on trips. Uber drivers and regular taxis will be completely eradicated in fifteen years.
Please fact-check me; AI recently defeated one of the best lawyers at a trial. So if you are a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and your child failed at Law School, do not be so disappointed. AI may render your profession antiquated in a few years.
We do not yet know how far AI will go. But we do know it can never replace human fun and spontaneity. And that is what we have to ensure that our children retain.
Let them have fun and be fun to be around. That will make them AI-proof. And that is why you, reading this, may have a PhD and call Peller an Olodo, but that Olodo boy called Peller is a money spinner, connecting with people and building bridges globally, because he has what AI cannot replicate in a thousand years. He has warmth, innocence, purity and the ability not to take himself seriously.
It was that same innocent purity of spirit that drew many people, including myself, to Michael Jackson.
And as long as scarcity creates value, Olodos with such traits will in this day and age of technology that is wizardry, command as much, if not more value than a PhD who has been made obsolete by AI.
To understand someone like Peller, let me cite a quote by the phenomenal Beatle, John Lennon, who once said:
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy.' They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
From that perspective, Peller understands life more than many PhD holders and Professors.
As long as you have a healthy, happy child, you and they can add everything else to their life later.

Dear MSc and PhD students I have an hack for you,
If you want to use ChatGPT or other AI for your project, you can use them without it showing you use AI.
You won’t spend a dine to do it.
Just copy everything away from ChatGPT and type it yourself one by one in Microsoft word.
Don’t paste on Microsoft word.
Type them yourself.
It can NEVER be detected as AI.
Tested and proven.
You can use ZeroGpt or other tools to test the volume of AI.
All the best.
If you remove people who go to church to ward off enemies, or in search of financial breakthroughs, or those seeking other favours from God, such as the fruit of the womb, life partners, promotion, etc, and others who are absolutely scared stiff about going to hell and leave only those who go to church without any agenda other than love for God, many churches in our society will be either empty or sparsely populated. There is a huge difference between faith and religion, and between Godliness and churchiness!

The easiest way to vet a woman is to tell her a firm "No."
Deny her something she really wants.
Do not explain it. Do not soften it. Just deliver the boundary.
Now, sit back and watch the architecture of her reaction.
Does she respect your authority and pivot gracefully?
Or does she throw a tantrum, manipulate, and attempt to shame you into compliance?
Insecurity and entitlement cannot hide when denied access.
If she cannot handle your "No," she will absolutely destroy your peace when the real storms arrive.
Vet ruthlessly.
Not everyone is replaceable.
A full DM inbox doesn’t mean those people are better than the one you already have. Attention is cheap. Some men will spend ridiculous amounts of money just to make you question what you already have.
Don’t confuse options with upgrades.
Submission is not slavery. A submissive woman runs the home and hold enormous influence over her man’s decisions. Modern women confuse submission with having no power.
The person you marry will eventually annoy you. They will have flaws. They will change. They will disappoint you. You will do the same to them. That’s not proof you chose the wrong person. That’s proof you chose a human being.
Emotions stimulate you, but they don't automatically control you. You are fully in charge of how the stimulant affects you. For example, if you are insulted, you will definitely feel provoked. That's an anger arousal. But that stimulant is not irresistible. Especially, when you consider that that is the intention of the person who insulted you in the first place. Your emotions are indicators of what has happened to you. However, they should not be dictators of how you respond to what has happened to you.

When you suddenly make money and become flashy and proud, your actions reveal an unfortunate truth about you. You have not actually made money—quite the reverse. Money has made you. You do not control money. Rather, money controls you. Yes, you do have money in the bank. But that is only half the story. The other half of the tale is that money also has you on the brink. On the brink of insanity. Money is a tool. Knowing how to use the tool makes you cool. Letting the tool control you makes you a fool!

There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Being alone has nothing to do with loneliness. In fact, you can't be lonely when you are alone. Loneliness requires the presence of other people. What causes loneliness is being around people and feeling disconnected from them. Loneliness is not a reason to marry. The best cure for loneliness is to learn to love yourself and build up your self-esteem, such that you like yourself to the extent that you don't get affected if others don't like you. But if you marry out of loneliness, your neediness will make your marriage meaningless.

Everything that makes you think you are better than other people, including your hair, complexion, eye colour, brain capacity, and facial features, decomposes within a few weeks of your death. And by the second month or so, all that is left are skeletal remains which are almost indistinguishable from other humans. Think about this before you allow pride to push you to look down at other people. In looking down, you are seeing the place that you and every other human will end up. Know this and be more tolerant.

Being rich can't make good people like you. But it will definitely make bad people pretend that they like you so they can't suck you dry. People who like you will like you with or without your money. The key factors in genuine likeness and likability are your personality and character. So, when you find people suddenly liking you because your financial level has changed, don't be moved. They are shadow friends. Shadows always appear when there is light and disappear when the lights go off.

If you want to increase your success rate in life, one way is to increase the frequency of your contact with your mentor. Life without a mentor allows the tormentor, which is failure, to occupy the space a mentor would have filled. Just as WiFi gets weaker the farther you are from your router, the closer you are to your source of human inspiration, the more you can mirror what makes them a victor.

Reprogram yourself for success by talking to your ego. Because if you listen to your ego and let it control you, you are responding to the programming of eternal forces gathered throughout your life via social conditioning. Don't, for example, feel angry because your ego has been deflated. Will you bite someone because your dog does not like them? It is the same thing with your ego. It is like your dog. Your ego belongs to you. You don't belong to it. Tell your ego how you want it to feel, rather than letting it tell you how to feel.
