    “There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there.

    "Ramsey Noah" is trending. The top tweets have nothing to say about why he is trending. Just a bunch of influencers hustling their tweets into every conversation. They make everything meaningless. I still don't know why he is trending.

    If you started selling fire and it looks like you are doing well, you’ll see folks abandon their entire 10-year plan for their own project to start selling fire too. Never seen any group of people with zero clarity of what they really, really want to do and just sticking to it.

    Many Nigerians just want chances. Hard work isn't a problem. 🙂

    Nigerians must understand frailty is very essential to these people. A sharp, agile candidate cannot be managed/controlled. When you vote for a frail candidate, you don't vote for a person. You vote for a group of people hiding in shadows running affairs without accountability.

    This is strange. Why are you doing 48 laws of power with your family, man?
    Work from home destroys families. As a man you will lose all respect from your family if you’re home 24/7. Your kids will talk back, your wives will not listen. Being away creates mystery and demands respect. This is exactly why I spend hours at the caffe, to save my family.

    Brass has been mine. Building this company has been the most exciting, interesting and fulfilling experience of my life. In this note, I will be sharing what it meant starting, building the company as I officially move on from my role as the CEO.

    Genuinely curious. How is Whatsapp making money? No ad, no subscription. I imagined a Fintech (P2P money transfer) play on it but that's not happening so far/yet. I just saw a Whatsapp ad on ABC. Got me curious.

    I am very excited to announce we have raised $1.7m to build out financial operation services and solve cash-flow problems for local SMEs on the continent. Big thanks to our thousands of customers for trusting in us. We will never forget why we are here. This is for you.

    My superpower is that I have clarity! You can wake me up 2am and I’ll tell you step by step what I want to do for the next 3 years and how they all come together. I have been on that path for 3 years now. No, I’m not winging it.

    We should all retire by 35-40 honestly. Be with our beautiful wives, raise kids and just vacate around the world the rest of our lives.
