In order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment:
How many struggles?
How many battles?
How many difficulties?
How much sadness?
How much happiness?
How many love stories?
How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

"OGA, OIL NA OIL"

The last time I went to get engine oil to service my car, I met a man who came with a 2010 Toyota Corolla. I noticed he got a different oil from what is recommended for his car. I tried to educate him but he said, "Oga, oil na oil." I didn't give up.

I ensured I educated him and he was receptive and very thankful. Told me no wonder his engines kept failing after about 2-3 years. He had been driving for over 20 years but never knew what I'm about to teach you in less than 3 minutes.

I noticed that most car owners in Nigeria have a toxic relationship with their engines. They drive to a roadside mechanic, hand over some cash, and let the man buy "any oil" that comes in a bottle. Or worse, they buy the cheapest one because "oil is oil."

That is the fastest way to turn a 2022 engine into a 1998 scrap metal.

Let’s talk about those numbers on the bottle, like 5W-20, and why they actually matter for your engine.

Engine oil is like honey. When it’s cold, it’s thick. When it’s hot, it becomes runny like water. The numbers tell you how much the oil resists this change.

The 5W stands for winter. Even though we don't have snow, your engine is cold every morning before you start it. The lower this number, the faster the oil flows when you first turn on the car. A 0W or 5W flows instantly. A 20W is like cold ogbono soup. It stays at the bottom of the engine while your metal parts are rubbing against each other dry for the first few seconds. That is where 90% of engine wear happens.

The 20 is the heat rating. It tells you how thick the oil stays when the engine is screaming at 100°C. If your car asks for 20 and you put 50, the oil is too thick. It’s like trying to drink a thick milkshake or kunu aya through a tiny straw. Your engine has to work 10x harder just to move the oil around. It loses power, and your fuel finishes faster.

So, how do you know the right oil for your car?

You don't need a mechanic’s opinion for this. The answer is literally written in two places:

1. The Oil Cap: Open your hood. Look at the plastic cap where the oil goes in. Manufacturers often print it right there (e.g SAE 5W-20).

2. The Manual: That book in your glove box isn't for decoration. It has a chart that tells you exactly what grade your engine was designed to take. Although most car owners don't even have this again.

Many old-school mechanics believe that thick oil (like 20W-50) is better for Nigerian heat or older engines. This is a lie. Modern engines have tiny, microscopic gaps between parts. If you put thick oil in a modern engine, it cannot fit into those gaps.

You are basically starving your engine of blood while the mechanic tells you "The engine sounds heavy and strong." Don't fall for that.

Stop surrendering your car's life to a man who hasn't read a manual since 1994. Buy your own oil. Read the label.

Your engine is a high-precision machine. Treat it like a heart, not a waste bin.

Aliko Dangote started a telecommunication company and failed.

He also started a textile company and failed terribly.

He started a Dangote Airlines and failed a few months later.

He then started a tomato sauce factory that also failed after a few months of operation.

Aliko Dangote this time started Dangote Millers which he failed to maintain and ended up selling it to South African company for $200m before buying it back at half the price he sold it.

This time Dangote started Dangote cement which became his first successful business. Sugar business followed and so did oil refinery.

Failing doesn't mean you won't succeed, it means you're learning. (Akech Andrew)

I Finally Solved Fair Value Gaps:

1) Wait for a 4H FVG to form.

2) Wait for price to hit that 4H FVG on the 15 min.

3) Wait for price to aggressively shoot off leaving a new 15 min FVG.

4) Enter on that FVG.

5) Target a 3RR.

China is not competing with the West. It's humiliating.

At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, there were flying cars, aerial capsules, and AI-powered smart ecosystems.

Meanwhile, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi settled for minor updates:

99% of men panic when they see their hairline receding.

So they rush to finasteride, minoxidil, or expensive hair transplants in Turkey.

But scientific research reveals better, cheaper ways to regrow hair—naturally.

So this is the normal thing in Canada? 🇨🇦

Even as a car driver in uk,
I’m bewildered and impressed.

Is this possible to replicate in Nigeria?
