If there’s a mystery or a question to solve, I’m already walking toward it.

🚀 Today, I'm officially launching @ArushaWealth , a registered and regulated financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants building their American Dream.
Over the past 18 months, I've directly helped 300+ people get their green cards & indirectly helped so many more. But there’s one reality we keep seeing: that's just the beginning of the journey, not the end.
We arrive with ambition & do everything right: we get into top schools, earn valuable degrees in the right fields, build strong careers & earn well, only to realize over time that high income doesn’t always translate into high net worth or lasting wealth.
You're earning well but you see how much goes to taxes
You're not sure how much should go to paying off your past student loans and how much to investing for your future
You have family obligations back home that you can't ignore & you're not sure how to manage this without sacrificing your own goals
Without a clear long term plan, you wake up down the line & realise you are stuck - permanently dependent on your paycheck to maintain the lifestyle you have.
This is not the American Dream we came here for.
We have officially launched @ArushaWealth a financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants in the United States. Built on my experience as a wealth advisor at Goldman Sachs Family Office, along with my training as a Certified Financial Planner® and my MBA from Columbia University, Arusha helps individuals & families put structure around what comes next through comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, investment management, and legacy and estate planning.
I've worked with some of the wealthiest American families and seen exactly how wealth is built, protected & passed down in the U.S. With Arusha, our focus is on bringing to immigrant families that same level of planning and the opportunity to build lasting prosperity.
Our clients so far include startup founders who have raised over $10M, and professionals across tech, finance, and law, including Microsoft, Amazon, the World Bank, private equity, and Big Law.
👉 If this resonates, feel free to reach out here: arushawealth.com/contact
And if you’d like to stay in touch & receive occasional updates and guidance, you can subscribe to our newsletter here: immigrantmillionaire.substack.com
This is just the beginning. I’m excited to work with the next generation determined to build lasting wealth.

Hello, we’re producing a documentary to understand the evolution of crime in Nigeria with @ArchivingNG and looking for interview subjects based in Lagos or Ibadan:
— Armed robbery victims from the 90s
— Internet fraudsters
— Girlfriends or parents of internet fraudsters

@FuadXIV Once formed, these doctrines become the constants by which they live and govern.

My strongest opinion about Nigerian politicians is that they all have doctrines/organising principles about how the world should work. And they rarely change their minds about them.
Nothing reinforces this belief for me more than historical evidence. It is extremely important that we understand them.

In 1999, Lagos lawmakers called for state police to tackle rising crime. Governor Bola Tinubu had reportedly been losing sleep over the security situation. The Lagos State House of Assembly debated the need to decentralise the police after meeting with the state’s Commissioner of Police, Mike Okiro, over a surge in armed robbery and violent crime troubling the state. Soon after, the presidency approved the creation of state police, a move many described at the time as a striking coincidence. It’s unclear what happened to the initiative.

As an operating principle, I don't feel like I've truly begun to scratch the surface of a discipline until:
1. I've learned the fundamentals/ideals
2. Studied its history and
3. Plugged in to its status quo.

In contrast, Martin Scorsese watched a film every night.
