Mr Ayo 🖱

I don’t have everything figured out. I don’t even have certainty. What I have is range. Skills. Experience. Scar tissue. Perspective. I am a man of a thousand and one talents sharpened by failure, not theory. I know how to build, create, think, adapt, and execute; even if this year stripped me of the comfort to do it easily. So yes, this is me saying: I’m still here. This is me admitting: I’m overwhelmed. And this is me committing: I’m not stopping. I really wish I did enough for my kids this year. Did enough for myself and my family. My mom will probably never see this, but I wish I had made her proud of me. Stressed that woman so many in last week. Man I took some crazy risks 2025. Well, I don’t ever want to be the guy who didn’t try. Or the guy who gave up on himself before even trying. If you have work, ideas, opportunities, collaborations; anything that creates real value and MONEYYY!, reach out. Not out of desperation, but readiness. I’m open. I’m capable. I’m hungry for honest work and a clean rebuild. I’m not going down the rabbit hole. I’m crawling out. Slowly. Intentionally. One of the best pieces of writing I read over the last few months, and I carry with me: “I’m going to build a life I don’t need to escape from. A life where peace isn’t something I chase, but one I live every day.” That being said, I forge ahead with the absolute resolve that this was the only possible outcome for the year 2025… And I’ll go again in 2026, not because I’m sure I’ll win, but because quitting isn’t who I am. I’ll definitely be working out back-to-back… Sleep more and eat better. You know we sometimes end up without friends and alone… But FUCK IT, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I AM CERTAIN, THIS IS THE BOTTOM. …Only way is UP I started 2025 with genuine optimism. Not the loud kind. Not the careless kind. The kind that comes from believing that effort, honesty & consistency eventually line up with results. I wanted to try new things. I wanted to stretch beyond what was familiar. I wanted to see what would happen if I stopped hedging and went all in on life, on ideas, on people, on building something meaningful. So I did. I took chances across the board. Financially. Emotionally. Relationally. I pushed hard, moved fast, trusted deeply, and assumed that momentum would catch up with courage. Instead, the year slowly dismantled almost everything I was standing on. There is a form of torture people rarely talk about, the kind that doesn’t scream or explode. It’s the torture of trying relentlessly and watching nothing work. Of waking up every day knowing you are capable, disciplined, and willing, yet still blocked by outcomes that refuse to cooperate. Like man, why can’t I just have a win streak for once? That was my 2025. I made mistakes; real ones. Poor financial decisions. Misjudged risks. Trusting timing that wasn’t ready. Believing some things would hold simply because I gave them my all. I see my faults clearly now. I don’t deny them. I don’t outsource blame. Some of what I lost, I lost because I chose wrong. But even responsibility doesn’t reduce the weight. By the end of year 2025, I am empty. Not figuratively. Literally. Financially & Mentally, I am at zero. Stability is gone. The margin I once had no longer exists. I crossed into this season without the relationship I thought would survive anything. I lost family this year, not in the physical sense, but in closeness, and the feeling of having a guaranteed place to land. I lost the idea that no matter how hard things got, there would always be something solid underneath me. People imagine loss as a single moment. It’s not. It’s cumulative. It’s waking up one day and realizing that the safety nets you assumed were there… aren’t. I won’t pretend I have friends carrying me through this moment. I won’t pretend I have financial cushion to soften the impact. I won’t pretend I’m okay. What I am is aware. Aware of how far I’ve fallen. Aware of what I did wrong. Aware of how overwhelming it is to start again with nothing but clarity and fatigue. (This last couple of weeks in this year dealt with me, I am still in awe of how much has happened.) That awareness is its own kind of torture, being conscious enough to feel everything, strong enough to survive it, but too tired to dress it up as a lesson in real time. There were moments this year where stopping felt reasonable. Where disappearing felt justified. Where continuing felt almost insulting to my own exhaustion. I was overwhelmed not because I lacked strength, but because I had been carrying too much alone for too long. Still, I didn’t quit. (Okay! Maybe… I did think about it countless times.) Not because I’m fearless. Not because I’m confident. But because something in me refuses to accept that this is where my story ends. I’m not writing this for sympathy. I’m writing it for honesty. I’m writing this not because I think it would ever be read, but because I just have screams in me that need to be let out. Before I go on, I just want to add that rice shouldn’t be had without plantain (heard some guys arguing while I was typing this). I see where I failed. I see where I overreached. I see where I stayed too long and where I moved too fast. And even with all of that, I am choosing to go again. Not recklessly. Not blindly. But deliberately. If you’re reading this and you’re also down… You need to understand this: hitting the bottom doesn’t mean you’re finished. It means you’re exposed. And exposure, as painful as it is, is where rebuilding actually starts. (This is more of an advice to me than anyone else). Plus, I got to travel more this year. Go OUT MORE!

December 31st 2024 Crossover night: 2025 is my year. I’ll have all my heart desires. Achieve all my goals. 2025: ⬇️

@maybehabib Welcome back.

we will always win.

@Mrbankstips Women remember only two things: what they did for you, and the one bad thing you did to them.

@ManLikeTeka House of Ashur?

Were Romans truly fucking in public like this?

The Nigerian Police needs a overhaul and massive salary increase

Your life will always rise to the level of your self-discipline. Treat your goals with respect, they require daily attention.

The outcome of the next few days will determine whether the 25th is Christmas Day or just another Thursday.

Met some dude last week at a lounge, said he’s a “prediction market trader.” LOL. Knew this day would come. We had a long convo about markets and how he’s making a bag on Polymarket. After losing heavy this year and nuking my portfolio, I might just go all-in on PM 2026.

@SokeyeA “Welcome to the Deck… we’ve everything you could possibly need.”

Just “Deck” remove the “Chow”, it’s cleaner

@Mrbankstips Those in Okitipupa who haven’t had electricity for over a decade.

What about those in Ayobo who barely have 10 hours? Or those in Egbeda and Ikotun environs? Always “me” “me” “me” with you guys.

People in unhappy relationships or marriages watched 1:50–1:58 and were instantly filled with sadness, and a deep longing for something just as beautiful.

I want to pour a heavy piece of me out in writing. I’m not even sure people ever really read what I write, but I need to do this so my heart feels lighter. I hope someone reads it. I hope someone realizes they’re not alone in whatever they’re carrying. And maybe, just maybe, someone else finds a bit of strength or inspiration in it.

Some days are difficult, but remember: you’ve survived 100% of your worst days. Strength is already inside you, let it lead you forward.

You owe it to yourself to try again. Not because you failed, but because you’ve grown since the last attempt.
