Technology is all about using the power of science to make life better for people, to reduce cost, to improve comfort & productivity

@tosinolaseinde It also kills motivation and appetite for better health, cos they don't eat healthy, critical thinking will be hard.

When you’re poor, you have neither the time nor resources to reflect on the deeper meaning of life. You dedicate your intelligence to merely staying alive. Who can say that there are no Shakespeares or Einsteins among the poorest of the poor! Poverty will make sure that their intelligence never sees the light.

@tosinolaseinde Poverty doesn't just take money. It takes bandwidth. When every thought is consumed by rent, food and survival there is no cognitive space left for curiosity, creativity or wonder.

“Poverty stops poor people from enjoying poems, deep thoughts, science, or cool tech. It keeps eyes on just surviving.”

If you are a tech bro or sis in Nigeria and you are adding internet fraud to the career, you are short sighted Stop doing fraud on the side, people are watching that 5-10 million naira that you have made from upwork or salary savings, use it to build a legitimate side hustle - You can rent a shop in your neighborhood and start bringing items from China to sell there. - You can rent a shop and start selling indomie and semo in cartons to retailers in your neighborhood and on social media - You can import handbags and hair with that your 2-3m and start selling online with the help of cheap ads. You can build a hair and accessories brand easily in a year and be making millions in profit Stop behaving like an illiterate. There is a reason why most of the fraudsters in Nigeria are illiterates or poorly educated. Its their thing. You are a tech person, you can make money from your craft and build the biggest FMCG distribution channel in your state. Be pragmatic and think well. think. That 2 million that you are throwing on those gadgets and fine dining monthly, that 2 million can be your seed fund for the biggest hair and accessories line in your state or region Be different and stop fraud.

The craziest thing about building software is when your application fails silently and no one knows where the bug is coming from. At least when you see an error and can trace its source, it gives you a clear idea of how to fix it. But silent failures? Those are the most dangerous.

Game theory explains why you must never let someone know you need them: Once your dependency is visible, your leverage disappears. The negotiation ends immediately. Their behavior shifts and their strategies adjust. They stop trying to earn your trust and start managing your expectations.

Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.

Sometimes your value isn’t seen until your absence is felt.

A man can be interested in you, despite you rejecting his advances, he'll keep on hoping that you'll come around. But then out of the blue, he just stops caring, moves on. And that's when you start wanting him but the spark is no longer there, he's no longer interested.

If you hire 700 men in Nigeria and be paying them 400k a month, there is a good chance you will attend 400 to 500 weddings by December. If you hire 1000 women and be paying them 700k a month, they will be waiting for men earning 1.5 million naira monthly to come and propose to them. Women don't distribute wealth!!!

Do you understand what it means to say a distributed system in system design? In plain, simple terms, a distributed system, as the name implies, is not just one server. It is multiple machines working together as a single system. Let me use GTBank as a very relatable example. You do not have just one server sitting in Lagos. There are servers in Lagos, Abuja, and possibly even outside Nigeria. When you check your balance or send money, your request can hit any of these servers. They coordinate, sync data, and respond as one unified system. That is a distributed system. Seems interesting, right? Yes, it is. But have you ever asked questions like: “What happens when there is a network issue?” That is where CAP theorem comes into play. Let’s continue 👇🏿

In this generation, you gotta be the man who has zero desire to be seen. Just busy, paid, hard to reach, and out of sight. You'll go far in life.

Be thankful for all the struggles you go through. They make you stronger, wiser and humble. Don't let it break you let it make you.

Bro to Bro: We're not behind, we just didn't get it handed to us.

@_falsi1ke Beautiful women are everywhere. Successful men are rare. Become the prize G.

Men realizing that they are actually the prize is what annoys women the most.

An old man in the construction business told me: The real magic of staying in one industry starts to happen 10+ years later. So hang around.

A lot of men are quiet right now… not because life is easy. But because talking doesn’t fix it. So they just deal with it silently.

Anyone who says “business is not for everyone” clearly doesn’t talk to enough business owners. All of my friends run their 7-8 figure businesses in completely different ways: - Some lead teams of hundreds of people. - Some don't want more than five employees. - Others don’t even want one employee. Yet ALL of them have thriving businesses. So if you really want to get into business, you just need to self-analyze and reflect: - What are my strengths? - What are my actual weaknesses? - How can I be conscious of those as I go into business? And once you have the money, hire the people to plug up those weaknesses as quickly as possible.
