I am trying to get good at writing, so I thought what better place to experiment than X. At the same time, I'm building my creative business. I usually write about stuff that interests me, so I compiled all the threads I've written in the past. Enjoy!😌
This is true. Being under rested is the problem.
Semi-controversial opinion I think is truer the older I get: There’s no such thing as working too hard. There’s just being under rested. 1. Winston Churchill used to work 16 hours per day in his old age during the war — but he also worked in bed every day until 11am. He had a…
A1 mindset fr. You pray and at the same time put in the work to get what you want. But we must strike a balanced understanding; “good” and “bad” things can happen to you without your permission. It’s called LIFE. Your response to said thing is what separates you from others.
Everything I prayed for I actively work towards them so why will your curses affect me? If I don’t live my life wrongly, your words have no power over me, nothing is going to happen in my life good/bad without my own permission, work with yourself and stop living in fear.
The marketing, PR & Crisis management teams must be the avengers.👏🏾 Cos WTH!

if you want to find your purpose in life, there are four archetypes: 1/ master (pursuing greatness) 2/ sovereign (cultivating self-reliance) 3/ provider (providing for your family) 4/ missionary (serving a greater cause) one is mandatory. all four is peak existence.
And then make NEPO babies along the way.📌
The entire goal of life is to find a woman who makes you want to lock in and outperform the S&P 500 on a risk adjusted basis every year
Then there’s the other side of this convo about the politicians writing books on solutions to the country’s woes. That is criminally diabolical, because if you’ve not done the work, why write a book? Such persons tho “rich” have no integrity and that’s a problem.
I’d like to point one thing out in this conversation: don’t let poverty or a sense of lack make you arrogant and close-minded. It sounds counterintuitive but it’s common, and only makes things even worse. I see this play out a lot and I’ll explain what I mean. I’ve worked with…
God allowed for Moses to go to the palace. 📌 Who wrote the first five books of the bible? Moses Because as a prince, you are taught properly how to read and write. So privilege is not inherently bad, and if you have it, milk it like mad. For good of course.
There’s a reason why Moses grew up with the Egyptian royal family, not with the Israelites That privilege afforded him the necessary tools, mentality & experience to fight and lead his people out of Egypt. Did he put in the work? YESS!!! Was he privileged? Definitely yes!

Skit makers & content creators redefined collaboration in the Nigerian entertainment industry. That collaboration has not really touched other industries. NGN design space is fractured, there’s little collaboration. But it’s a slow grind and it’s gaining momentum.
If you’re a designer, I need you on this! Do you think we are really growing the Nigerian Design space? Please, I need your answers.
