I don't like people who self-deprecate.
More importantly, I don't associate with them because energy is contagious.
There's a difference between "knowing your reality" & self deprecation.
"I'm not fine like that"
"I'm a loser, why do you like me?"
Ewww. Go away.

We carry a troubling mindset as citizens of Nigeria.
“If I don’t succeed, no one around me should.”
Some people even go as far as frustrating others who are trying to make progress.
It’s sad.
We blame our leaders, yet deep down, many of us act even worse than the same people we criticize.

Your 20s & 30s are slipping away just surviving Nigeria. No house, no car, no exposure because you can’t travel, no craft to show your talent, zero savings, barely affording dates, drowning in endless bills from home; 40 is knocking & Ai may replace you before you’re ready.

When you wake up every morning, Stand in front of the mirror & psych yourself up. Confess it loud to the man in the mirror: "You sef no small" as much as you can. You might go out that day and do small things but you're configuring your mind to treat you bigger than you are.

Post NYSC, when I was struggling in the dirt of dirts. 20K teaching job with 3 tutorial hustles.
I would come back every evening, wear my nicest shirt and walk into a car shop - pockets empty.
"I like the rims on this one, do you have the color in black?"
"Hmmm. The price isn't bad. Can I see the BMW equivalent?"
I'd do this from car shop to car shop. Not because I wanted to waste their time, swimming in delusion or had nothing better to do with my time but I understood the power of visualization.
Sportsmen use it all the time.
You see bah, you stay long in a particular situation - your system starts to normalize it. You start to figure out how to "manage".
" 20K salary abi. Well, if I see like 50K own. I'll just try and walk 2km instead of entering bus"
This is worse than comfort zone because there's no iota of comfort and you're slowly conditioning yourself to optimize it as your new normal.
You need to find ways to put fire in your bosom. To make your dreams nightmares, and your living daylight daydreams. Visualization helps you to see what is possible.
It doesn't have to be with cars, but it has to be with variables incredibly beyond your reach at the moment.
You'll never be big. You'll never grow. You'll never breakforth - if your mind hasn't first conceived the possibility of that future.
Don't let your mind condition what's supposed to be a bus stop for you, become a final destination.

When you think about yourself, make sure that picture isn't small.
Your current situation may not be in sync with your preferred trajectory but make sure your picture about yourself isn't small.
You sef no small.

@Onihax @iamIdowuShehu Respect people on the road. The hustle is deeper than it looks. 📌

Everybody likes to talk from the outside until you enter the road.
I’m a keke rider myself, and with experience… no, it’s not that easy.
This idea of “buy keke ₦5M, make ₦200k daily” sounds sweet online, but reality on ground is very different.
I work interstate between Lagos and Ogun (can’t mention exact location for security reasons), so let me break it down small:
In Lagos alone:
Main ticket: ₦1,300
Money for markers, chairman, security, etc: about ₦1,000
Police/agency money (LASTMA, LNSC, etc): varies, but you must settle or risk paying ₦2k–₦10k for “offence”
That’s already money gone before you even start breathing.
Now Ogun side:
Main ticket: ₦1,700 (₦1,300 weekends)
“King of boys”: ₦200
Other random levies: ₦500
Then fuel: ₦12,000 daily at least
Passengers? They’ll still price you like fuel is ₦200 per litre.
We haven’t even talked about:
Repairs (very frequent and expensive now)
Feeding and daily survival
Weekly hire purchase: ₦60k–₦70k for almost 2 years
And let me add this: once a new keke hits 6 months, problems start coming one by one.
So when everything is deducted…
what exactly is left?
This job is not “wake up and print money.”
It’s survival, patience, and constant expenses.
So no — if someone is still broke, it’s not always laziness or chasing job titles.
Sometimes, it’s because the system itself is designed to drain you before you even grow.
Respect people on the road. The hustle is deeper than it looks.

This keke (tricycle) is ₦5M Go to a state where nobody knows you. Make ₦200k daily. In 6 months you’ve tripled your money. If you’re still broke, it’s not Nigeria, it’s you. You just want a comfortable job title.
