Psalm 146:5 KJV Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Psalm 146:3 KJV Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Psalm 118:8 KJV It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

I finally entered flight for the first time in my life and let me just confess… nothing prepared me for this experience 😭✈️ First of all, why did nobody tell me that airplane window is not for “opening breeze”? I sat down confidently like a big boy, saw the window, and my village mind was like, “ahh fresh air go soon enter.” Only for me to realize this one na permanent glass. No ventilation. Just vibes. As the plane started moving, my heart started doing gbas gbos like it wanted to resign from my body. The speed alone? Omo, even okada never reach this level. Next thing, the plane lifted… I swear my soul remained on ground for like 3 seconds before it followed me up 😭 Then the air hostess came smiling like nothing was happening. Offering snacks like we are not in the sky risking our destiny. I collected it sha… because if anything happens, at least make I chop small before I go 😂 Turbulence came and I held that seat like it owed me money. The man beside me was calm, meanwhile I was already pricing parachute in my head. I even started praying in all languages I know… including the ones I don’t know. But see me now, forming champ, snapping selfie like I’ve been flying since 2002 😎 Meanwhile inside me, na “God abeg land this plane safely” full my heart. First flight experience? 10/10 for adventure, 2/10 for peace of mind 😂 But one thing sure… once you land safely, you go dey feel like say you don achieve something big. Next stop… Ethiopia. Canada in view. Cc Udeaja Kingsley

lol. I am in a WhatsApp group where founders in Nigeria with decades of experience in e-commerce were punching air . They swear they’ve pitched to these similar investors and couldn’t get a meeting. And when they did they were met with “how is this different from Jumia” and “this market is saturated”. I guess it was less about the market and more about “them”..
