Part of this country’s problem is rooted in how it celebrates ill-gotten wealth. No one makes money legitimately and handles it like this. No one! Everyone standing there knows the money is not legit yet they sing.

Someone just DMed me to say as an entrepreneur, I shouldn't be concerned about politics. Well, it was politicians who played with Nigeria's economy in 2015, $ moved from N180 to N360, reducing the valuation of every Nigerian tech company by half, many didn't come out of it.

Death and aging are two unavoidable things. Every time we sleep and wake up, a part of us is chipped away until the day there’s nothing left.

Had a guy who told me I couldn’t build a creative agency back then, I was too young and inexperienced. He was working with one of the biggest agencies then. He nicknamed me “Agency”. 3yrs ago, his group CEO invited me to talk to the entire team at the retreat. He was there too

We can deny this as much as we like but the truth is Nigeria is what it is today because Nigerians are wicked people.

Racists feed on this same premise. African Student studying abroad - They are here because their country's education system is terrible. European students studying aboard - They are here to experience new cultures, exposure, etc.

Every single ingredient needed to scale this protest is now in place. * Tertiary institution lock down * huge unemployment numbers * consolidated efforts across platforms * Pan-Nigerian organizers. We must keep the pressure. No backing down. #EndSARS

Oil was supposed to give Nigeria the kind of head start needed to build a civilization that works for everyone. Instead of creating something similar to Petrobras/Petrochina, we created NNPC, a tool for siphoning wealth into personal pockets.

In all of these, no cared if Aina was ok. No one asked “Aina why are you looking like this? Is everything okay?”. Perhaps none of the lectures message Aina privately to say “Aina, is there something you want to talk about”.

This is the generation that holds everyone accountable and cancels everyone but takes no responsibility and doesn’t own up to anything when they are wrong. The “I did what I did” & “I said what I said” generation. It will not end well.

I've officially turned to that uncle who points every nephew and niece that needs a job to tech. It has worked so far. If you have a space for an entry frontend dev to intern in your organization, PM. You don't have to pay; I will pay her salary till she starts earning.

Do you know how dumb you got to be to pay school fees upfront with $800k? At 10% (Average S&P), it's $80,000 a year. You will take care of the school fees & still keep your principal. What if the school shuts down tomorrow? That's the quality of people in charge of Nigeria.

When you look at the structure and ops built (in 1 week) by young Nigerians as back office for #EndSARs . Medical, food, security etc all deployed nationwide. You will understand that Nigeria is messed up because the people in charge wants it like that. It’s not that difficult.

On a flight to Houston, a woman sitting next to me was shaking as the flight taxied, she was muting words, I asked her “first time flying?”, she said yes. Gave her my hands & we chatted through the flight. For every turbulence she reached for that hand. Life is simple. Have sense

Some yrs back, in the early days of Twitter, hung out with a couple of Twitter people. Poured wine & because I was carried away gisting, poured above half the glass. Someone on that table asked me “Do I want to pour more”(in a derogatory way). Some people are just badly behaved

Had a week of interviewing candidates. I’ve now stopped seeing the average Nigerian graduate as the problem (a u-turn for me) but rather as the victim. The current Nigerian Universisty structure cannot produce great quality candidates. Hence employers are all looking for outliers
