It was worth it! Got to produce the music video of “Joy” by @Pheelz ft @Olamide

Thank you. ❤️

I get the confidence that I can do better in the world. 🥺

Kinda hard to build emergency funds when everyday is an emergency.

"Why is there so much sugar in everything?"

The way Nigeria is now, even if you spend your money wisely, it will still finish.😭

This economy is so fckd you'll be sitting here thinking you're bad with money and all you did was buy food

It’s 2026, I wish Nigerians can understand that your parents being rich doesn’t make you rich. Not every parent shares their wealth with their kids. After providing shelter and education, they leave many to fend for themselves. Even inheritance, many people don’t see a dime lol.

In the last 15+ years, I’ve had more than 50 staff try to copy our business, join competitors, or take customers directly from under us, all in the name of “I can do it” or “na we dey do all the work… is it not just juice, parfaits and salads?” Unsurprisingly, most of them fizzled out before they started. Not because they couldn’t replicate the product, some even used the same suppliers, and had the techincal know-how, but because they didn’t understand the business of building a business. They saw the surface, not the structure behind it. People often ask me, “How do I protect my recipe?” My response is usually: you mean watermelon and pineapple juice? There’s a lot more to building a business than the product. Yes, product matters, but it’s only one piece. In many cases, nailing consistency beats having “superior” quality. The ability to deliver the same experience, every single time, across locations, teams, and over time, is where the real work is. And that’s why, for me, one of the most unserious things you can say as a business owner is: “I don’t want people to steal my idea.” Because ideas are a small part of your success. Anyone can come up with an idea, not everyone can execute. Another common myth is that you must have a protectable IP or some special “secret sauce” to win., (i don't know why cake people liek to think they have one secrest recipe... 😂😂). It rarely works that way in reality. Yes, where there are clear grounds for protection, take it seriously. Protect what’s worth protecting. But don’t get stuck thinking you need IP to make it big. You don’t. What you need is the ability to build, and keep building, long after the “idea” phase is over. Instead ask yourself these serious questions: - How do I distribute this product at scale? - How do I systemise operations, so the business runs well? - How do I build a high performance culture where people take ownership and standards don’t drop? - How do I keep my brand top of mind in a crowded market? - How do I acquire customers predictably and keep them coming back? - How do I manage my finances properly, so I don’t run out of money? This my friend is where the real work is. These are what separates a good idea from a sustainable business.

You finally start making middle class money but it’s 2026, not 2014 and there isn’t a middle class anymore . You’re either rich or poor 🤣🤣

450,000 bricks. Hand-pressed by the women who needed this building. The Women’s Opportunity Center didn’t just give survivors a space it gave them a skill Build the building and the people at the same time 📍 Women’s Opportunity Center, Kayonza, Rwanda Design: Sharon Davis Design

Louvres are easier to clean?

Child vs pikin 😂

You must really be suicidal to go for skydiving in Lagos.

We don’t speak enough about generational patterns. You don’t even know when you’re neck deep in a pattern until it’s too late. I had to fight it . fight giving up my career for marriage, fight early pregnancy, fight choosing a man over my self . Same age , same pattern…..but I broke it .

Everyone picking Marsai has never watched The Umbrella Academy.

$200 million to build a church yet lecturers in his university are being paid #133k monthly. It is well.

Even teachers in faith academy are still earning 60k - 80k in 2026

Avocado is a social experiment to see how far humans can gaslight themselves into thinking a food is edible.

Rammed earth walls. No AC. Cross-ventilation does the work; entrance to terrace, continuous breeze. The earth keeps it cool. The ceiling height pulls heat up. Tropical comfort without mechanical cooling. 📍 Assinie-Mafia, Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 Architects: Koffi & Diabaté Architectes
