God first and nothing else





I MET FEMI OTEDOLA YESTERDAY in London… and for the first time in my life, I was genuinely star-struck. The timing couldn’t have been worse. He was on a phone call, walking with purpose, and I was cycling with someone who wasn’t a confident rider, so stopping for a proper conversation wasn’t really an option. I greeted him and apologised for interrupting. To my surprise, he responded with a warm, welcoming smile. That small gesture stood out to me. In a hurry, I did what most people would: I introduced myself, asked for a quick photo, thanked him shook his hands and rode away. But from the moment I turned away, I kept replaying that moment. I told myself, “He was on a call, I didn’t want to be rude.” And maybe that was true. But maybe it was also because I wasn’t prepared for an opportunity I never expected to have. Looking back, I wish I’d asked one thoughtful question. I wish I’d taken a few minutes to learn from someone whose journey represents decades of experience, resilience, and achievement. I wish I’d shared some of the ideas I’ve been working on or asked him about his book that I’ve read a few times. Instead, I left with a selfie 🥲. And that’s when this hit me: opportunities rarely announce themselves. Sometimes they appear unexpectedly and disappear within seconds. The difference between a memorable moment and a missed opportunity is often preparation. I’m not going to dwell on what I didn’t do (I PROBABLY WILL). But I’ll take the lesson. The next time I meet someone I admire, I will try to be remembered for the conversation and not just the photo. Until then: I’ll keep learning, keep building meaningful relationships, and stay ready for whatever opportunity comes next.


Messi is the greatest of all time. He doesn’t have the aura that Maradona had in his day.




We were supposed to have Messi vs Ronaldo in an hour


Peter Obi: If I'm the president of this country, I will do everything possible to make opposition parties strong and participatory in governance. Chude: But if the president believes his party is the strongest party to rescue the country and he believes that the opposition's ideas are damaging, why should he be helping them become strong? Peter Obi: It’s about democracy, no one party has a monopoly on ideas that make society work.
