The timing of me seeing this tweet is crazy. Policies sometimes could be one of the USPs for companies. Apparently, they pitch them to investors. And because of this some actually invest in them.

9 years ago, i watched a guy get fired for doing the right thing... he built the team, trained everyone, fixed the messes, stayed late, took no credit. the kind of employee companies claim they value. then he questioned a policy that was quietly screwing junior staff, didn’t insult anyone, didn’t shout. he just asked why... two weeks later: HR invited him and served him some papers saying he’s not a culture fit... then laptop seized, access cut. goodbye. the manager who created the policy got promoted, the company posted a linkedin thread about psychological safety... bro lost his job for speaking up. in most companies and workplaces, ethics are tolerated until they challenge authority... you can be loyal, competent and ethical but none of that matters once you threaten someone’s power, ego or comfort. the system will protect itself first, always and people are replaceable but control is not.

@Tunde_OD Relationships are more important that product knowledge

Relationships are everything. I assure you.

The invisible Glass experiment Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium. On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely. When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack. Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back. Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way. The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank. After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth. But the pike never tried to eat them again. Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there. A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome. It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

@olumidecapital @oost_marcel I'm stymied!

@oost_marcel I still find it amusing that Flutterwave is 5x more valuable than Interswitch

Africa has 12 companies valued at $1B 🦄 or more, and 8 of these 12 are FinTech companies 🤯

probably the most valuable use of your time in 2026

The Lenacapavir injection that prevents HIV is finally in Nigeria. This is a massive win for HIV prevention. But Emeka and Nkechi, here are a few things you should know before you get it: 1. It does not prevent pregnancy, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, or Hepatitis B. So while you’re protected from HIV, you’re not immune to other STIs. You still need to use your condom abeg. 2. You MUST test negative for HIV before taking it. If you take it while secretly infected, the virus can mutate and become highly resistant to future treatments. 3. It is strictly for PREVENTION (PrEP), it is not a cure for HIV. 4. The ₦58,000 price is a subsidized target. Please, do not go and buy fake from a random unverified chemist because you saw it’s cheaper. RT to educate someone today.

if i do it right in 3-4 years i’m up forever.
