Or start a serious company
😩😩
I’ve been described as intelligent all my life, it almost sounds like a broken record. At first it was cute, but since I graduated from the UNI, it became irrelevant. I almost no longer respond to “intelligence” as a compliment. I prioritize courage & action over intelligence.
Dreamt of this day. saw myself in front of this over and over…
With a hotter outfit but the weather won’t let me be great so here goes.
Thank you to my friends, family and fans. It took a village-actually a whole city.
My dreams are valid. 🚀🚀🚀
Hilda Baci’s win was the fire I needed to keep dreaming. To not adjust the big dreams I had to fit my condition at the time.
Asake’s story reminded me that a lot can change in a year or months
Asake’s sunshine urged me to fight so hard to achieve the big dreams I had.
Inspiration is a powerful thing…
When you do a great thing, you do it not only for yourself but several others.
You break ceilings for others to soar…
You give strength to weak knees
And you give hope to the hopeless.
I am supposed to create a strategic marketing plan in my strategy class.
I would like to do this for an actual company- tech startups or SMEs. Kindly send a dm if you are interested.
I would appreciate referrals too.
Non sector specific. Can be anything Africa.
So embarrassing i must say.
I had a whole identity crisis on this issue and I was this close to dissociating from the “Yoruba” tribe at the last election.
The Yoruba-omoluwabi tribe I knew as a kid turned out to be a hoax.
Even family members were culpable.
I’m really annoyed at the amount of stupidity this past election has exposed amongst we Yorubas.
Our brand used to be that we were cosmopolitan, well read, well travelled, intellectual , welcoming, loving.
Now it shows we have a strong cohort of ethnic jingoists with no belief in

Oh my.. there are evidences everywhere. Even his sugar mama warned him with different parables. The bird concluded he didn’t deserve to live and for someone who was given another chance at life, you’d have thought he’d use it more circumspectly 😏😏🌚🌚
Recorded this piece with

and I enjoyed it.
It’s useful for those finding clarity in their careers, or those looking to build a great career.

I really prefer natural hairstyles to wigs. Wigs are stressful and uncomfortable for me.
The highlight of my October was my hair. Colored it and loved it.

I wanna write about my experiences
About how life has happened to me
About how I have experienced myself changing
About the funny things that happen to me
About the pain, laughter, joy and memories
About the lovely people I’ve met
Life is very interesting
Was a pleasure collaborating with

on a long piece on the prospects of human biotech in Nigeria for
@TechCabal
. She reached out at the right time and we wrote what we think is a good summary of the current state of Nigerian biotech.
I downplayed my strengths and took for granted every of my experiences. My 25th year taught me the importance of telling my story correctly; bringing all my cards to the table when playing instead and using them strategically instead of waiting to get that winning card.
Leaning into yesterday’s conversation, I am sharing this fraud triangle by Edwin Sutherland and Donald R. Cressey, Steve Albrecht.
Someone mentioned that only “greed” is a motivation for fraud and I totally disagree.
You can read more on this.
Dear Harvard,
Just give me admission regardless of my GRE score, bsc certificate or essays.
It doesn’t even matter that I didn’t apply. I just really want to get into your institution.
My effort is what matters. I’m a female from Nigeria.
Encourage me.😩😩😩
Thanks
I woke up to a flood of messages on this post, many of which were, surprisingly, full of insult, disrespect and curses.
My initial request to GWR was simple and direct: Pay attention to the young girl's earnest efforts. Regardless of her approach,
@GWR
should at least
@demi_irawo
Better still, don’t complicate things for yourself by arguing semantics.
It’s English. Man invented it. Focus on your gospel and your worship. 🌚🌚🌚
It’s so hard to pay educated millennials/GenZ to buy their votes
Like how much do you wanna pay? N10,000 or best case: lN100,000 per voters?
It won’t be enough
We need more educated Nigerians
Politicians take advantage of poverty and illiteracy

Out of school children are on the increase
Your educated youths can’t even do much with their education
University students stayed out of school for close to a year
Africa has the highest number of youths in the world
But whats the quality of work that these youths can do?
@docneto
The people, the mindset shift..
There’s over 70 National representation. I don’t think I’ll ever get that anywhere after this.
Some lectures too 🌚🌚
One way I deal with rejection is detachment. Not focusing too much on the process/thoughts/hopes.
Just immediately start thinking of next steps/plans.
Works sometimes, doesn’t work sometimes
“Oil has fallen our hand and how much can we tax the poverty capital of the world?”

appreciation tweet. This article has to be one of my favorite. Thank you for explaining the hard economy jargon
It’s not wasting your vote as much as wasting your influence, no matter what happens, either one of PDP/APC will form the next government, and you’re going to leave both parties to people that you have accused of doing it for pecuniary gains, another cycle of ‘greedy politicians’
I am still on the fence with this spanking issue.
I mean I don’t support torture but sometimes one or two spanking 🌚🌚🫠🫠
Cos how do you correct kids in their early years especially when they are very stubborn and don’t listen?
“I got spanked, and I turned out fine” needs to be looked at deeper.
- Can you handle your emotions without having outbursts or meltdowns?
- What do your relationships look like?
- How do people close to you feel in your presence?
- Do your respect your body?
- Do you need
If Tunde’s idea doesn’t work, at least we have data points to work on.
We can improve processes and all.
Imagine that there is no social welfare in this country
Fraud/crime esp institutional fraud is more complex than just jailing people. There’s actual research on this
Scrolling through my old messages on Twitter and linkedin
And I must say, I really cold mailed people. 🥲🥲
The hustle was real
I got no response 98% of the time
I wondered how I coped
@SimplyAzodo
I think this is really great. Love the idea.
I know you didn’t ask but i think it’s best practice to focus more on the “Do’s” rather than the “Don’ts” when confessing. Feed the mind more with what you want rather than what you don’t want.
I’d always take a stance against inequality and intolerance
Whether Racial, tribal, gender or region
If you see our differences as a means of division, you are short sighted and myopic.
Stop polluting the air with your filthy mindset. No tribe is more superior to the other
@EditiEffiong
This is interesting. I had this same thought (creating a movie) and this same title when I read AIGs “leaving the tarmac”. Shared it with some of my friends even.
I believe it’s an important story to be told and I hope you or anyone get to tell it someday.
It’s so annoying that we(Nigerians) are still stuck with tribal wars
Conflicts will always happen amongst ethnic groups
But not at the cost of national development or economic prosperity.
Everyone should be bullish on expanding the pie and creating wealth.
Every time Africa comes up here, it’s about trying to solve for poverty…
With pictures of hungry children and rough looking humans I don’t even see often
It’s becoming uncomfortable for me
@pyjama_ceo
I think it’s all planned
To distant themselves from the failures of this administration and paint a picture of redemption from the same administration. Peoples on the street now separate Buhari from 🦇 even though they are in the same party.
5k wey I still dey manage 😂😂😂
They wanna pump and dump me 🌚🌚🌚
But I use my sense before they used me.
Sold yesterday at 142%.
Transcorp is on full offer today 🫠🫠🫠
I learnt that every experience mattered. Everything. I didn’t get all I wished for before 26 but I’m more in love with my journey and I understand it better. I’m content, thirsty, more ambitious and grateful.
Tonight I sleep happy regardless of the outcome
Thank you all for fighting
I’m proud of my late millennials/GenZ. It’s not all about PO for me tbh. It’s good governance. It’s power to the people. It is to send a clear message that this power must change hands.
So I had been really thinking about the link between the poor church rat and the poisoned holy communion until I saw this full clips
Can’t believe I thought there was some deep meaning there and I was missing it 🥹🥹🥹
First book in 2023. Better late than never 🥹🥹😩😩
Steadily catching up.
Adulting: 59; Bukunmi: 1.
I should write a review or better still an opinion piece
This thing happening at the stock market is not shocking to me.
One of my 2020 lessons is realizing that money is man made. Scarcity was intentionally created by man- a few men. The world as we know it was structured to run by men.
To single Pringles:
A good time to get married so you can pool resources.
Use one car instead of two cars
Watch one tv
Pay one house rent (two bed is cheaper than a room and parlor)
Switch on one generator
Use same fridge
Life’s good
Had the most fantastic first Dream VC retreat with all the fellows and team in Zanzibar 🇹🇿🏖️

The most amazing part about this whole
Hilda thing is that she conceived this thing in her heart.
Like she set an audacious goal. A very big one.
Like every is dreaming of opening restaurants maybe, but she tells herself
“I want to break a record” 🤯🤯🤯
My thoughts on my drive to work today:
It was simpler when we were younger.
Do not lie
Do not steal.
But adulthood is teaching me about grey areas. lines are now really blurry.
I sincerely don’t know d difference btwn good, evil or bad. Now it’s all about perspective
My Hebrew/Yiddish teammate gave me the name “Balaboosta” when he was asked to describe me
Original meaning is a female Home owner and more contemporary meaning is a Boss woman, A solid and competent woman.
This made my day 😌😌😍😍😍🥰🥰
I know we passed this but “where do you see yourself in five years” is a valid date question. Maybe not first date but it’s important IMO.
And It doesn’t have to be perfect or detailed. It can also be crafted in so many ways like what are your big dreams?
