the "wanting has no ceiling but need does" line is the whole thesis right there… you can't negotiate with someone whose baseline is complete self sufficiency because they have no real incentive to compromise. the cage built itself one preference at a time and now it looks like standards

my friend & we’re discussing individualism in america at dinner cuz we saw so many ppl eating alone. & it got me thinking that individualism esp the rabid american strain reshapes structural environments in ways most ppl drastically underestimate. the obvious symptom is selfishness which is me, me, me. individual goals displace shared ones. but most things that matter can’t be done alone. a man can’t have a child. partnership is required, & partnership requires deal making. & deal making gets harder the longer you’ve been operating alone. you build a foundational layer w/ prefs, habits, non negotiables & it becomes very rigid. by the time you’d need to adapt, you can’t. ironically this foundation becomes a kind of a cage instead of a platform. you see the output everywhere now. women don’t want a relationship unless it’s the best thing in the world… & not cuz they’re shallow, but because highly individualistic people don’t need, they only want. & wanting, unlike need, has no natural ceiling. it can’t really be satisfied, only deferred. in essence sustained individualism makes ppl structurally incapable of the compromises that used to produce the lives they still claim to want.

@TomolaGroup the last line is doing serious damage… the stock was publicly listed, the information was available, the broker account takes 10 minutes to open. the gap between who got rich and who didn't wasn't access, it was attention

Seplat was ₦350 in 2020. Friday it closed at ₦10,450. ₦100,000 invested back then would have bought you 285 shares. Those 285 shares are worth ₦2,978,250 today. ₦100,000 into nearly ₦3 million. One stock. Six years. No trading. No signals. Just buying a company that produces oil in a country that runs on oil. The stock was available to everybody. The result wasn’t. Because most people were too busy saying nothing works to notice something was working right in front of them.

@Benn_X1 using AI to learn faster while it's still cheap is the play… depending on it to think for you while it's cheap is how you end up with expensive atrophy when the bill comes

Instead of worrying over whether or not AI will take your job, see the opportunity AI provides for this limited time. With time, AI models will become very expensive and most of the cost will be pushed to consumers. Very few people and companies will be able to afford the same amount of tokens they burn now. This is an opportunity for you to leverage AI to learn as much as you can now. Don’t take the shortsighted route of depending on AI. Businesses care about outcomes. If your company has an AI mandate and you reject it, you’ll be fine as long as you produce similar output as others who use AI. When the cost of using AI balloons to the point where more tokens does not result in proportional business value, senior management will do what they do best: cut costs. Where does this leave you? A prompt ninja with no knowledge or a knowledgeable person who has increased their value by using AI as a learning resource? AI models will not be subsidised forever. When the subsidies dry up, will you still be able to write a 500-word essay or your brain would have been fried and you are willing to pay anything just to send a prompt?

@fastrlife the bottleneck framing changes everything… you're not building toward something, you're removing the distance between who you are and who you already are

The universe doesn’t have a “now.” And this has direct implications for how you’re living. Physics says the past, present, and future, all exist equivalently. Einstein wrote in a letter weeks before his death that this is a “stubbornly persistent illusion.” Here’s what this means practically for you: The version of you five years from now already exists in the time block. Your job isn’t to “create” him. Your job is to stop being the bottleneck between him and the present slice you’re standing on. You need to stop treating future outcomes as hypothetical. Your focus needs to be the trajectory and speed at which you approach the things you want. Because technically, they are already happening. Determinism isn’t a trap; It’s actually more like a map… Your job is to read it forward by leveraging the present moment with intent. Waiting + thinking are the two worst possible things you can be doing.

@smartnakamoura the whole system runs on everyone not asking for their money at the same time… the moment confidence breaks and everyone shows up at once, that's a bank run. your balance is a promise, not a vault

You have ₦100,000 in your GTBank account right now. You log in. it says ₦100,000. feels safe right? funniest part it's not there, the money is not there. The moment you deposited it, the bank kept ₦10k and loaned out ₦90k to someone else...that person spent it. it landed in another bank. that bank loaned out 90% of it again. This cycle repeats infinitely, your ₦100k has been "used" by at least 6 different people What you actually own is a promise from your bank that they'll give it back when you ask This is called Fractional reserve banking every bank in the world runs on it. it's not fraud. it's just how it works. Most people never know this

@RobertGreene knowing what someone needs to hear is more dangerous than knowing what they want to hear

Overt flattery can be effective but has its limits; it is too direct and obvious and looks bad to other courtiers. Discreet flattery, tailored to the insecurities of your target, is much more powerful.

@AtindanaVictor1 unlearning is harder than learning and that's exactly why most people stay stuck

I know you are tired about your financial situation but you don't know where to start. Come closer, do not scroll. Kindly read this post. The first thing to do is to start tracking your expenses. Yes, track your expenses. It might be cumbersome but the moment you get used to it, you will realise how much money you spend on flimsy things. Financial freedom is not always about learning new habits but also unlearning poor habits that put financial distress on you.

@TomolaGroup making the first contract optional is the whole point of building the second one 🤝🏾

Your salary is a contract between you and your employer. You give time. They give money. The day you stop giving time, the money stops. A dividend is a different contract. Between you and a company. You give money once. They give you a share of their profit every year. You can be asleep. You can be on holiday. You can be fired from your job. The dividend still comes. One contract needs your presence. The other one doesn’t even know your name. Build enough of the second kind and the first one becomes optional. That’s the whole game.

@leyeConnect people who are allergic to small thinking are a different breed fr 🤝🏾

Ambitious people are my type. I can’t even hide it, once you start talking about doing impossible work, the kind of talk that inspires greatness, you have my allegiance till the wheels fall off. We may fail (woefully) but we will never be guilty of not trying.

@ddokeyokey the reclassification is the starting gun not the finish line… GTCO, Zenith, Aradel and Seplat are the first stops for any foreign fund building an NGX position because liquidity demands it. the question is whether you're already in before the allocation mandates force the buying

Nigeria just got reclassified back to Frontier Market status. Expect foreign money to flow into large, liquid stocks like banks(GTCO and Zenith Bank), energy(Seplat and Aradel), and FMCG(Nestle and Guinness Nigeria). Are you positioned before the next wave?

@oladapopeter1 rotation on the NGX almost always has a catalyst behind it if you track the policy environment closely enough… the money doesn't just move randomly, it follows where the friction is being removed

On the NGX, it’s common to see last year’s worst-performing sectors turn into the next year’s winners. But it’s not random; there’s almost always a trigger, like policy shifts, FX stability, or industry changes, that eases the challenges those sectors were facing.

@TomolaGroup funding a business daily without owning a piece of it is just being a loyal customer with no upside

Nobody who owns shares in the companies they already spend money on has ever regretted it. You buy MTN airtime every week. You fill your tank with fuel Seplat helped produce. You live in a house built with Dangote or BUA cement. You’re already funding these businesses daily. You’re just not collecting your share of the profit.

@gee_engr $132M in, $750M out in 13 years while collecting dividends along the way… the ASE framework in real life is always cleaner than the build from scratch narrative people romanticize. Otedola didn't build a power plant, he bought one, ran it right, and exited at the perfect time

Earlier this year, Otedola divested his majority stake in Geregu PLC. Before then, he was the chairman of company, holding 77% majority stake. He acquired the power plant for $132M in 2013, scaled it, and exited at $750M in 2026. That's over $600M in profit in 13yrs, excluding dividends. Solid business move. This is the business model of most smart wealthy folks. Acquire. Scale. Exit. You don't have to build every business from the scratch to profit from it. Sometimes, you can also use the A.S.E framework. Acquire. Scale. Exit. Money is a leverage. Use it to save time and scale fast.

@SpartanPsyche staying in "potential" is the safest place to hide because nobody can criticize what you never finished

Perfectionism is a hidden fear of exposure, because finishing means being judged, while delaying means staying “potential”; finish ugly on purpose, because completion builds competence and competence builds confidence faster than endless preparation.

@xygort gentleness as a deliberate choice hits different than gentleness from ignorance… one is strength, the other is just luck that hasn't run out yet 🤝🏾

For your sake, don’t mistake my softness for naivety. It takes discipline to remain gentle in a world that often rewards hardness. It's not by accident - who I am is who I choose to be.

@BukkyOA protecting your energy is protecting your output fr

This week, dial up the signal and lose most of the noise. If an activity is not value dense, doesn't align with your ultimate goals, steals energy from you and makes you lose time, say NO. Do more of the things that fuel you towards your goals, no matter how hard they are.

@lichthauch intelligence without groundedness will run you into a wall at full speed and write a thesis about why the wall is wrong

The age of smart is over. what's coming belongs to people who can still cry, people whose hands shake before they do something honest, people who walk out of rooms midsentence because their body told them to, people who kneel down to God. people who pray without words, people who touch trees, people who know when to go home. the smart ones will call this regression, they'll write essays about it, how dangerous it is, how primitive it is, and meanwhile their marriages are dry, their kids are strangers, their bodies are betraying them with insomnia. they feel the door closing and they look for the key inside the same room that locked them in. seeing was never their gift, and now the bill is due

@TomolaGroup ₦41 trillion in four months and the biggest catalyst hasn't even hit yet… the Dangote listing is the main event and we're still in the opening act

In January, the NGX was worth ₦99 trillion. Today it’s approaching ₦140 trillion. That’s ₦41 trillion in new wealth created in less than four months. The FTSE reclassification on April 7 opened the gate. Foreign money is coming back. And they’re not buying small. The Dangote Refinery IPO hasn’t even listed yet. When that drops between June and July, ₦140 trillion will look like the warm-up. The people who positioned before this wave are already up 36% this year. The people waiting for the “right time” are watching from the same spot they were standing in January.

@JhayfinX the future test over backtest point is what separates people who actually trade from people who think they can trade… backtesting gives you hindsight confidence, live market gives you the psychological pressure that breaks most people. no backtest has ever made your hands shake

WHY MANY TRADERS FAIL.‼️ No let anybody deceive you bro, this is all you need to filter the noise. 1. Have FUNDS before you start. Either you have a work or you have families that can fund it for you or you want to take something you don’t use offen again and sell it to get funds, it’s all up to you.🫡 Cause bro, no good mentorship is free, even the scammer among them will still charge you. 2. TAKE YOUR TIME to get a MENTOR. Take your your time cause, many of you follow hype, once you see them post withdrawal, you just believe they Sabi🤧 something you can’t verify. Not just verify, but also make sure you like his/her lifestyle, cause one thing for sure, you can NOT learn from someone you don’t like.💯 3. STUDY and FUTURE TEST not BACK TEST. Many of you failed because of this, you backtest many years of data but you didn’t face the actual uncertainty market could have given you, or the psychological impact from the market, if you were to be operating on a LIVE account. but somehow you think you’re solid. Sorry, that’s not enough. More detailed reason I’ve already explained here, if you’re active. Turn on notifications for the next one.🔔 4. COLLECT DATA. You hear people say JOURNAL 📝 many of you don’t even know exactly what that means 😢 here is it. Every trade setup provided by the market, ask yourself would you have taken it, if you’re operating a live account ? Answer yourself honestly. Those trade you see yeah ? Document them, take a picture of it, keep it and write a note about if it plays out or not. Why it PLAYS out as analyzed or why it FAILED even after analysis. You need to know this, as it eliminate GUESS work, by that you’d know if what you were thought actually works or not. 5. Get a LIVE ACCOUNT. Surprised I didn’t mention DEMO ACCOUNT 😂 that’s shit is a waste of time my bro, if you have enough data, you don’t need any DEMO ACCOUNT. To do what exactly ?? Na person wey Dey fear, Dey demo trade fr, and I don’t see anything particularly useful in that step, cause why people that demo trade still get fucked by market regardless ? That’s because they’ve jumped the steps I’ve mentioned here, you can’t jump this and get it right fast bro, that’s the fastest way I just dropped. 😎 JhayfinX 🦅😈 Stay PØSITIVΣ🪽💯

@oladapopeter1 CWG as a proxy play on MTN capex is the kind of overlooked angle most retail investors completely miss… when the mother ship spends, the downstream contractor eats quietly

I don’t have CWG, but it is a good stock fundamentally . There’s a well established and multi- layered relationship between MTN and CWC. MTN Nigeria and CWG jointly introduced a cloud computing service designed to deliver over 70% cost savings to players in the micro finance banking sector (MTN Xaas)- Everything as a service in 2012. So technically CWG is essentially a downstream beneficiary of MTN capex cycle, when MtN expands its data centres, upgrades it network or pushes into fintech, CWG “collobi“ the contract. If you find MTN too Pricey, CWG is your best bet!
