2024 is a leap year that starts on a Monday. It’s also the Bitcoin halving, as well as the uk and us elections. As far as I’m concerned it’s a year for making serious money. I pray it works in our favour 🙏🏾✨
I was earning £350 a day on contract as a ux designer and was delusional enough to quit and fully dive into startup building for two years earning nothing and living at home.
This country is so poorly run, such an embarrassing situation. The most painful part is how lit Nigerians are, do you know how great Nigeria would be if we were led by people with a little bit of sense?

Omo, the only way to get anything you want in this life is with your chest sha. This life doesn’t have time for shyness and fear. You just have to do it, and if it doesn’t work we’ll try again.
Morning Guys! Nigerian Radio stations have been asked not to speak on
#EndSars
. We built for Nigerians to record voice stories of their experiences with SARS so we can share with foreign radio stations and keep the momentum! Please RT & Share

Now I get to play this game on a level I’ve always wanted to, with a very solid team on board. Whether we fail or not, being audacious enough to get this far we’ve won already.

Some people leave a partner that hasn’t been terrible to them, and to absolve themselves of any guilt they create this crazy alternate image of the person in their head and run with it to the max.
At Burna’s thing last night, I realised one thing. He’s really the most authentic artist in Nigeria. I might be wrong but bruh, he’s not trying to be anyone. He’s Burna and he sounds, brands and carries himself that way. Respect 🙏🏾.
Apart from the protests, we need to start working on covert electoral strategies for 2023. It’s time to start laying the foundations for the next elections.
I want to run a free zoom workshop for immigrant students who want to set up businesses in the UK, so they can work and stay back. I've made a lot of mistakes previously and I think if I share the knowledge I've gained, I can save someone the hassle. Dm me if you'll be interested
Fun fact, young people (albeit young military officers) ruined Nigeria. But it has never been about electing young leaders, it’s been about electing leaders who understand the job to be done and are qualified to do it.
The most important thing you can learn in your twenties is patience, because the world moves so fast. If you can teach yourself to disconnect from everyone else's speed, chart your own course and stay patient through deviations it will pay off big time.
So I'm going to speak it into existence. Good job before the end of the year. Major funding within the next 3 years. Forbes within the next 5 years. Amen 🙏🏾
My bro said in this life you just have to stay consistent. Like if you sell pens everyday and lots of people know you do, someday someone is going to come and ask for 1 million pens just because they know you can deliver.
Hey guys, know anyone with a really sweet or hilarious voice good at telling interesting 3-5min stories or gist?
Please tag them, we're looking to pay people to tell interesting stories on our voice-based social media platform.
Send a DM for more info, please RT & Share 🖤
All Steve Jobs dad had to do with him becoming Steve Jobs is blood. Steve was raised by parents who adopted him in one of the best neighbourhoods and given great education. This tweet means if we want to succeed, we should leave Nigeria and I get you tbh.
Steve Jobs’ father was a Syrian refugee. It would seem that nationality has nothing to do with the ability to succeed. If you think that being an Nigerian means you can’t succeed then you won’t. If you fight and you do succeed you will be a role model!
Hey guys, so I spoke to 15 fashion futurists and did a lot of research on the future of fashion & digital technology over the past 2 months.
Pleased to finally share this. Please share, there's a lot of insight in this write-up 🖤
Undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights from

the Battle of hits last night. Shizzi gave us Dami Duro and Sarz responded with unreleased Wizkid vocals for 'One Dance' 🤯🤯🤯
I blame our parents generation for how timid and docile we are now. Before them were rebels like Fela, Soyinka, Charles Oputa. Their own is just church, pray pray pray Nigeria go better.
If you’re excited about the flutterwave raise and want to build your own product, but aren’t from a tech background.
Here are 100 tech ideas to inspire you:
Please retweet, someone on your tl might need this.
This is how you know your life isn’t yours because I could’ve never imagined these outcomes, but God did and pushed me towards it even when it got very difficult. Grateful for stubbornness.
Also grateful my parents didn’t call me a bum and allowed me to stubbornly pursue what quite a lot of investors considered silly before epic games gave us a grant and Facebook became meta.
This is why Naomi can do no wrong in my eyes, this was my first time shooting a fashion show officially. She posted and tagged me on Insta & twitter and followed me on Insta. She didn't have to, but she did.
Nigeria’s soil has been soaked with so much innocent blood right from the civil war till date. There’s so much National trauma that needs to be healed fr, I pray our generation gets this right.
The great gatsby is set in the roaring 20’s which was right after the second wave of the Spanish flu. Everyone just wanted to live, party and enjoy. Next year will be amazing, please stay safe so you can enjoy it.

Be very careful with all these tribal statements. You can’t be referring to the ones in Lagos as thugs, but the ones in Abuja as hausa/fulani thugs. That’s how the division and in fighting starts. Avoid ethnic labels, we’re all Nigerians and these are hired thugs.
After reading about how Argentina cleansed themselves of black slaves — many of which would’ve been Nigerian. We gatts fuck these guys up for the culture.
2022 is my year of discipline. The plans I have are scary, but I know if I stay disciplined and work hard enough everything will fall into place, amen.

today. I’m convinced the biggest flex when someone asks what you do, is the reply “I’m building a blockchain.”
I think we actually need to take religion more seriously not even for going to heaven but for living better while alive. E get some kind things wey no suppose dey sup, if fear of God dey.
People don’t have to support you simply because you’re talented. Leave that entitled mindset in your house and learn to sell your skills like the owner of any business would.
Nigerian youth are watching all the content from America and getting ready because our next presidential election is really the show down of our lifetime. If we want any chance of progress we have to get our next President right.

Bezos is a very intelligent and resourceful man from an upper class background, but not every one with those things ends up the richest man in the world.
In this world your degree means nothing. The highest paid person at my last place was a 23 year old dev that didn’t go to uni. It’s really about the value your skillset can bring to the table. Value is everything.
bought shots for some babes last night and one of them smelt a shot before taking it and at that very moment, I understood my privilege. I don’t think I’ve ever smelt a shot or been worried someone would put stuff in my drink.
I know I’ll be tweeting some corny shit like “I used to pray for times like this” when everything comes together for good, cause tbh it’s not easy right now but by God’s grace it’ll all be better soon.

Hey guys, my team and I have been working on this app for making clothes since April 2017.
We'll be launching soon, and it would mean alot to us if you could help spread word about it by retweeting the tweet below 🙏🏾👇🏾
So I had a paid gig today, and I’m excited about it like it’s not even about the money. It’s like someone thinks my work is good and they want to pay, makes me feel great.
I’m went out in Milan to work at a lounge and they played Burna from beginning to end, like 3 hours of Burna only. It’s remarkable how far the industry has gone.
I think a lot of middle/ upper class Nigerian fathers are lowkey feminists. They encourage their daughters to accomplish great things, irrespective of their sex but you won’t hear about that on these streets.
