Good morning. It’s Monday, a new day, a new week, and another gift from God. Before the plans, deadlines and responsibilities begin, pause and thank Him for the privilege of being here. Our days are numbered, so let’s not merely count them, let’s make them count in worship, love, purpose and gratitude. “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” - Psalm 90:12 Have a beautiful and blessed week.

Nobody noticed the announcement until it was already causing an argument. It was taped to the apartment building's noticeboard on a Tuesday morning: "Parking space 17 will no longer be available from Friday." No explanation. No signature. Just the announcement. The problem was that three different people used space 17. One had been parking there for years. Another had recently moved in and said the space came with her apartment. The third claimed she'd been paying for it separately. By lunchtime, someone had ripped the notice down. By evening, a new one had appeared. This time it said "Please stop removing official notices." Nobody knew who was putting them up. Then someone checked the building records. Space 17 wasn't assigned to any apartment. It belonged to the building. Which meant nobody was supposed to be using it permanently. That should have solved the argument. Instead, it created a bigger one. The building manager admitted the parking space had been included in old tenancy agreements. Some residents had been given permission to use it years ago. But nobody had updated the records. The three people arguing over it all had documents supporting their claims. One had an old letter from the landlord. Another had an email from the previous building manager. The third had been paying a monthly parking fee. Nobody could agree on which arrangement was still valid. Then an older resident came forward. He said space 17 had never officially belonged to anyone. It had originally been reserved for visitors. Apparently, years ago, residents started using it because the visitor parking was always empty. Eventually, everyone forgot the original arrangement. The manager decided the space would return to visitor parking. That seemed fair. Until the next morning. Someone had parked a car there and covered the license plate with a piece of cardboard...

We have officially started the bootcamp today in Enugu. 40 engineers are participating. These children are going to learn how to make drones from scratch to help tackle security challenges and also speed up hospital medication delivery. They will also learn hardcore Robotics and AI, Automechanics, Bricklaying, Welding, and Electricals. This will be the beginning of a new direction for education in the South East. We are raising real problem solvers with real skills, not a theory-based generation without skills. The future is exciting!

I intentionally shut up regarding the P-Square issue, because it was never really my problem, and if I had continued people would have accused me of being paid. No one pays for my personal opinions here. So, no point in attracting unnecessary insults and side talks to myself. P-Square’s family problem is their personal problem. But from the point of view of someone who has managed talents, and like I stated before, artists like Peter are the most difficult to deal with. They are paranoid, possess little knowledge about how digital distribution and splits work, and definitely take advice from people who don't know any better. A couple of red flags: 1. He’s focus is on digital streams revenue, which is where the least revenue comes from. I don't think he has ever complained about show and endorsement revenue sharing formula, which are the far greater sources of revenue in their line of work. 2. For him to appear at a show they had a contractual obligation to honour and disrupted it for a matter they had plenty of time to handle after the show, tells you everything you need to know. 3. He seems to be cool with sharing with Paul and not Jude, with his reason being that Paul is his twin - because it's definitely not about contributions or sacrifices from each party, as Jude also contributes to their career - I don't know if he realizes that Jude is also his family the same way Paul is (the same mother, the same father), with the only difference being that he and Paul were born on the same day. As I said before, I'm not really interested in their family dynamics. That's definitely a dysfunctional family you are looking at there. Families are different. I know for sure that money can never come between me and any of my siblings. Bottom line: one party is over-selling their story, and it’s not hard to tell which one.

There’s nothing wrong with a man wanting to take care of his woman. The problem is when a woman twist his generosity into an obligation he owes her. He paid your rent once, now it’s expected. He sends you money, now it’s his responsibility. He handles something for you, now you’re upset when he doesn’t. No man owes you benefits just because you agreed to date him.

I kept a note of everyone who texted during the three weeks I went quiet. When I came back, the list was shorter than I expected. Some names I still think about. Not because I'm angry. Just... noted.

One of the hardest things for a Nigerian to unlearn is the price of his own environment. If you grew up watching ₦100,000 solve serious problems, your brain naturally learns that ₦100,000 is “a lot of money.” Then you enter the global internet and someone in America pays $2,000 for the exact same service you’re offering for $150. Your first reaction might not be, “I should charge more.” It might be, “How can I possibly ask someone for that much?” That’s where the trap is. The Nigerian market teaches you to price according to what people around you can afford. The internet gives you access to people whose entire reference point for money is different. And this is why simply telling someone to “think bigger” doesn’t always work. Scarcity isn’t just about having less money. It changes what your brain considers reasonable. You can move from Lagos to the internet without ever leaving Lagos mentally. You’ll still negotiate against the customer’s poverty. You’ll still feel guilty charging what your work is actually worth. You’ll still think $1,000 is “too much” because you’re comparing it to salaries you grew up seeing instead of the value you’re creating for someone in a completely different economy. And the uncomfortable part? You can spend years surrounded by people who think the same way and mistake that environment for reality. The internet broke the geographic barrier. A lot of people still haven’t broken the psychological one.

People from Nigeria, India, and other developing countries earn less money doing online services than those in America & Europe. It has nothing to do with physical location, but the mental framework they’ve adopted from growing up in poverty. $100 is a 2-month salary in Nigeria. In America, it’s a nice dinner for two at a restaurant. Because of this, they get programmed to think $100 is a lot of money. Because to them, it is. They set their limitations based on how money works in their country, not in the world. So when they go to work online, they make an amazing website for a couple hundred. I have a friend in EU who charges 10k+ for websites. He’s 17. Always fully booked & makes a couple mil a year. The path to making more money online isn’t more clients or more work. It’s breaking the limiting beliefs you grew up with. Rewiring your brain so YOU believe you’re worth more. Spend time connecting with people who make more than you to understand what’s really possible. It's much more achievable than you think🫣

When a woman likes you, she’ll hype you up to her family and friends. “My man bought me this, my man fucks me good, my man is so romantic, my man knows how to cook.” My man this, my man that, even when he’s nowhere near all of that.
