On Senegal and Morocco I have 2 questions 😂 1. Will those that won betting be asked to return the money? 2. Will those that didn't win betting on this match file for them to be paid? #AFCON2025

@KneWKeeD There’s bread of life. Which one are you abandoning?

@nextdeegit What can I say other than I shot this after a heavy meal 🤭

How abandoning bread is going 😁

@gkbalogs Engineering is not on the list

Which profession makes the best CEOs? Finance? Sales? Marketing? Operations? HR?

@pmitu This too can be very tough when building relationships compete with work

The best part about launching a startup: It's having 100% control over your time even if you're busy 24/7

@ViralHaseena ✌🏿

If you're NOT a bot, please say hi. I'll follow back immediately. ❤️

@nic_victorrr Do you want to?

Well since Nigerian believe in witches, have you seen a witches before?

@taiwoyedele Congratulations

Today, I had the honour of being sworn in as Minister of State for Finance of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am sincerely grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the trust and confidence placed in me, and to the Senate for confirming my nomination. This appointment is not merely a personal milestone; it is a call to greater service. Nigeria faces important fiscal challenges, but also immense opportunities. The decisions we make in public finance today will shape the prosperity, stability, and well-being of our country for generations to come. In my new role, I will focus on supporting efforts to strengthen revenue mobilisation, promote fiscal discipline, and ensure that public resources translate into real improvements in the lives of Nigerians. I look forward to working more closely with the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, colleagues across government, the National Assembly, private sector, and development partners to advance the mission of financing Nigeria for sustainable development. Public service demands integrity, humility, and dedication. I step into this responsibility with a deep sense of duty and commitment to Nigeria and the Nigerian people. Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along this journey. I will be counting on your continued support. The work begins. God bless Nigeria. #MinistryofFinance #FiscalReform #Nigeria #SustainableDevelopment

@realFemiOtedola Monday looks good on you

Out of office, on this sunny Monday in the Maldives. Happiness is free⛱️ … F.Ote💲

Mfonobong, mid-2024. 9 months applying the “normal” way in Lagos. Frontend dev, solid portfolio, decent LeetCode, still crickets. One Tuesday night he got tired of feeling invisible. He made a list: 18 early-stage Nigerian & remote-first startups whose product he actually used and liked. No job postings. Didn’t matter. He spent 40–60 minutes per company: - Used the product for real - Found 2–3 concrete things he’d improve (with quick mockups/screenshots) - Wrote short, non-desperate emails/DMs: “Hey [Name], I’ve been using [Product] for 3 months and love X & Y. One place I think could be 10× better is Z, here’s a 2-minute concept I threw together. Happy to build the first version for free next weekend if it’s useful. No strings.” He sent 18 of those over 9 days. Results: - 7 people opened/replied - 3 asked for 15-min calls - 2 led to small paid freelance gigs - 1 turned into a full-time offer (remote, decent pay bump) started 6 weeks later He didn’t get the mythical “cold outreach doesn’t work in Naija” memo. He just refused to stay on the invisible side of the screen. Go be the person who showed up. You’ve got this. 🔥

You really do not need to wait for companies to post vacancies. You should have three dream companies in mind. One to start your career, your mid-stage company as a lever (typically startups), and the global behemoths (the likes of Apple and Microsoft). Put in the work and be audacious. Don’t settle for less

Someone needs to hear this

@rxhit05 @rauchg Luck should come to my house and find me then

@rauchg How much do you think luck plays as a factor too?

Entrepreneurship is more about stamina than it is about genius

@rauchg Stamina to solve problems you did not cause

@tayoainafilms That’s where we know who mean business

And distribution is what determines the podcast that wins.

@TosinOlugbenga ☑️

@docneto Naija is still a virgin land. Access to the tools required to cultivate is where the issue is as 200+m others are causing all trunks to still be busy

Had a number of tough conversations over the weekend and it's getting harder to fight the hopelessness Nigeria engenders. If you're hopeful about Nigeria, please share what's driving it, let me tap into your grace.
