After over a decade practicing taxation, saving clients over N500m in tax liabilities and exposure combined, finally decided to level up. Got inducted earlier today as an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN). The Iwelabi story continues. Cheers.

There is a phenomenon in sports psychology often referred to as Nostalgia Bias. It's a form of cultural indexing. Ask 5 football fans from different decades to name their greatest players ever. You'll get 5 different sets of answers. None of them are wrong. None of them are objective. Seeing this video brings up so much that I can feel it in my chest. This era was my standard. These were the role models, players I looked up to as an aspiring footballer. That's what your childhood does. It locks a version of greatness into your bones and every other era has to measure up to a ghost. But the thing is, our brains encodes greatness during its most formative years, typically between ages 8 and 18. The players who dominated during that window become your baseline. Everyone before is history. Everyone after is hype. A 60 year old man swears by Pele. A 50 year old argues Maradona. A 35 year old says Messi. A 25 year old insists it's Haaland. Or something like that. You get the point. They're all right and they're all prisoners of their own timeline. That is more than personal opinions. It is neurobiology.

I'm surprise any of the London derbies are not in the Top 10, @Arsenal vs @ChelseaFC and @Arsenal vs @SpursOfficial .

@Dojran2021 Have you presented any of such proposal or done any consultation or executed such transaction before for them to listen to you ? Remember those guys have those numbers you want to present to them already

Created another avenue to beat that regulation because matches were being played by 4pm and a possibility of @SuperSportTV showing a replay of those matches before during the day

One of the reason harp lager sponsored those 5 clubs then was because SS showed the league then not because there were a huge number fan at those stadia ,also NBC put a restriction on alcoholic adverts no to be air before 9pm on all TVs Nationwide, so sponsoring those then .....

I honestly don't know if you have done this before, my point is, the brands won't just commit huge funds without you showing them your previous work(s) where you have done something similar. Starting with a club will be easier to build such

@Dojran2021 @NigeriaPFL @ritefoodsng And they an agency/ individual who has a visible track record or present a verifiable data to convince them to part away with their cash

@Dojran2021 @NigeriaPFL @ritefoodsng If truly you can guarantee those numbers every match days across the 10 venues, that's Great. Start with the clubs for example pick 2 clubs with huge fanbase to show working, to see if brands won't start falling over themselves to get a piece of the pie

@Dojran2021 @ritefoodsng @fearlessng @drinkbigi @Sosafruitdrink Remember they ,( brands ) need huge and constant numbers in at least tens of thousands every match day

Another crazy idea for NPFL! @ritefoodsng @fearlessng @drinkbigi @Sosafruitdrink I'll help you generate billions yearly of you partner NPFL as the 2026/2027 sponsor. 1 idea We could work on is making your products the only beverage sold on match days. Every club in NPFL will have your brands on side of arm, every player in league advertise your product, league ambassadors like Kanu, amokachi and more promote your brand, stadium ad placements, all league influencers will promote your brand. For shikini money. Dm is open or do I need to call @olisaemeka_G to help me loud it?

I spent a lot of time when I was in Seminary with my grandparents in the village, and one of the many things they did was raising dozens of chicken and ducks. At any one time, you'd find no less than 30 chicken and about two dozen ducks, sometimes more of each. Say each of them (hens - both of female chicken and ducks are called hens) laid 8 eggs each, after each weaning season, the chicken would still have around 5-7 chicks who'd survive the elements (and prey, like hawks, etc) to eating size, while the ducks would only have 2-3, maybe (but rare) 4 ducklings who survived. Chicken would fight hawks, humans, other chicken, goats, sheep, anything that as much as threatened it's brood, and if they went out and one got missing or got stopped somewhere, it'd wait and figure out a way to rescue it. Ducks would rarely fight predators, and yes, it'd wait for it's stragglers to catch up if they got blocked or delayed by whatever, but it'd give up too soon and too often, probably so it' wouldn't lose the rest too. It always fascinated me back then because I'd wonder why the ducks wouldn't do more to lead, shield and protect it's brood. Another thing was the chicks were more amenable to follow the lead of the mother hen, but duckling had a mind of their own from very early. So yes, the hen is the better leader.

@Soulmedika That's why @askkumuyi was created

This is not different from the way the Church handled internet when it started to become mainstream. You either get involved now to curate the algorithm of the AI to push sound Biblical positions or we leave it for those who will distort it. If AI articles or AI anything shapes people in whatever forms and ways, same will and can happen with AI curated songs. Plus, how sure are you that your Pastors are not already employing AI to prepare their sermons?

Africa has more entrepreneurs per capita than any other region — but too much of it is survivalist. @WorldBankGroup researchers estimate that only 5% of businesses in Africa are productive, with 1 employee or more. The other 95% are solo businesses that tend not to contribute much to the net output of the economy. Now Professor Erik Stam (@EshipRules) et al. just published the first peer-reviewed framework built specifically to measure the conditions for productive entrepreneurship across Africa. 27 countries. 21 indicators. 7 dimensions. It's called the Africa Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Index (AEEI) and it ranks national ecosystems not by how many businesses exist — but by whether the conditions exist to make them productive. A few findings: • Mauritius and South Africa have the most conducive environments for productive entrepreneurship, but they both have significant room for improvement. The index runs to 7.0. Mauritius scores 4.66. • North Africa is structurally underrated. Four of the top five ecosystems are North African and the region dominates Tier 2. • Nigeria — the 'giant of Africa' — punches below its weight in Tier 3. The country is arguably the world capital of survivalist entrepreneurship with ~98% of businesses having 5 employees or less. • Access to capital and business support networks — the two conditions entrepreneurs need most to scale — are the weakest dimensions for all countries measured. Africa has tremendous entrepreneurial energy. But hustle alone won't transform the continent. That requires institutional, financial, and infrastructural conditions that help businesses scale. All transformation starts with confronting the current reality. And the data now exists to evaluate where African countries stand relative to productive entrepreneurship.

@eajene @WorldBankGroup I term it " chop money entrepreneurship "

@Dojran2021 We are you to master the act of extracting maximum value from our players due fear of losing out completely. This is where some form " regulation " comes in . The South American clubs won't try that Nonsense of only relying on sell- on fees from a raw talent.

Bros you have said it all! Infact they may not even pay at all. Some Ukrainian and serbian clubs will approach me to find players who they will register under their own academy, promise the Nigerians sell-on that won't happen, if I refuse, another Nigerian will do tye same deal and people will celebrate.

You honor Christ at your job by: • Arriving early and ready • Working hard without grumbling • Being a person of your word • Treating coworkers with patience • Avoiding all forms of gossip

When the Ghanaian President made that unpalatable remark about Ghana being “a small country that doesn’t want to get flooded with Nigerians,” what exactly did y’all expect?! Never mind that there are more Ghanaians living in Nigeria than Nigerians living in Ghana. Last I checked there are hundreds of thousands of de-facto Naturalized Ghanaian, togolese, Beninese, Chadians & Nigeriens that fully claim to be “Nigerians” now and no one is making their lives miserable, no one even cares or notices! Even when Cyril Ramaphosa gave a press conference yesterday to address the xenophobic attacks that have already killed 2 Nigerians, he chose to pander instead of issuing a clear reprimand. That was a tacit endorsement, not leadership. Don’t be shocked when Kenyans start their own version. Their president already made a distasteful joke about Nigerians. We’ll soon find out how much of a “joke” it really was. My advice to Nigerian migrants: Travel anywhere you want to LEGALLY it is your right as a human being but please, let it be to places that are “actually” better than Nigeria. Don’t risk your life and dignity for countries whose two major cities and infrastructure can barely compete with tier-2 Nigerian cities like Owerri, Kaduna or Uyo.

Don’t fall for all the dividend alerts flooding your TL. Before you buy stocks, do a THOROUGH analysis or get a professional to do it. In 2008, I put N4.75M into a bank’s shares. Today? The whole thing isn’t worth N100k.

@AskMichaelTaiwo In the Spanish laliga there's Big 2 Real Madrid and Barcelona

Every industry has its untouchables. Financial services has the Big 4. Business Consulting has the Big 3. Credit rating has the Big 3. Are they other fields with its own “Big X?”
