The Nigerian retail space has a funny contradiction: lots of money goes into building polished websites and apps, but many customers just want to chat on WhatsApp. A big share of daily transactions happens on WhatsApp and inside Instagram DMs, not on e-commerce platforms. Nigerians just prefer human interaction and flexibility over rigid digital journeys. My friend go and open that WhatsApp Business today! That’s where discovery, trust building, negotiation, and payment all happen in one flow.

I interviewed candidates for an Accounting Officer role today It got to one of the candidate's turn & during his interview, I asked the following question. “If your manager asked you to ‘adjust’ figures to make reports look better, what would you do?” The candidate responded,

@mankinde53 @seyedele This was me after spending precious time explaining business processes and very expensive information, then I heard “what about all those US addresses for shipping & picking proceeds?” Oga, the one who stole oil and the one that collected it are both thieves, I’m neither. Selah

@seyedele Too real! 😅 Didn’t want to accuse anyone wrongly so I played along like I didn’t know. Sent a drive full of courses. Response was “No be this one sir, show me the real way” 💀

My street cred is actually in the dustbin. It’s today I’m just knowing that if someone asks you for online update, he’s actually talking about cybersecurity courses. I’m honestly so sorry guys 🙏🏾

@iSlimfit @seyedele @RidwanuLlah Until same people are asked the same question by their own admirers. SMH

@seyedele @RidwanuLlah People saying “he doesn’t necessarily mean fraud” are just being disingenuous

One of the dangerous things about our society now is that people who see you and to them you appear to be doing well, somehow resolve that you have to be into fraud. Random, unexpected message from the guy that painted my house. It’s extremely worrisome.

@gkbalogs I think you should not change the winning strategy, rather modify it on-the-go and proactively to accommodate matters arising. Manage your going concern without losing to competition.

You’ve grown from ₦10M/month to ₦40M/month in 6 months. Demand is still rising. But your operations are stretched. What do you do next? A. Pause and invest in structure first B. Keep pushing growth and fix it later C. Try to do both Why?

I feel Gen Zs have been wrongly tagged based on the behavior of some ill brought up kids. Most of the Gen Zs I’ve worked with show a high level of enthusiasm, they put their all into the job & they’re goal oriented. But one thing I’ve noticed is that if you don’t show workings, they will use you to wipe their asses. Unlike our generation that over respected even incompetent bosses, they will open your bum in public. They follow competence that shows them there’s a path they can tow. You can’t lead them with fear. You have to earn their respect

@gkbalogs Follow the numbers and you will make more right decisions than mistakes. Thanks for sharing sir

2013, there simply wasn’t enough demand for our products in Ogba. After 3 years, we had burned through our cash, revenue was low, and the business was unprofitable. My wife and I were now dipping into our savings and salaries. So we had a serious sit down, and I thought it might be time to shut it down. But the numbers revealed something interesting, demand was coming from somewhere else. We figured if we just went there, we could revive the business. So we did the most counterintuitive thing, we raised more capital and moved to Ikoyi, August 2013. And boom, in less than 3 months, we quadrupled revenue and broke even. That, my people, is why there’s a So Fresh @sofreshng_co today. Looking back, we didn’t almost fail because the idea was bad, we almost failed because: - Wrong place. - Wrong timing. - Wrong customer. Sometimes, the business isn’t the problem, context is, so you have to stay flexible, agile, understand the numbers behind your business and be ready to adapt or pivot.

@slimvnsn Wow

My father never came to a single thing I invited him to. Not my primary school graduation. Not my secondary school prize giving where I collected 3 awards and kept looking at the gate. Not my university matriculation. Not the ceremony when I got called to bar in 2012. I'd send him the date weeks in advance and he'd say I'll try and that was always the full sentence. I'll try. No follow up. No explanation after. My mother would sit in his place and clap loud enough for 2 people. I stopped inviting him after the bar call. Not from anger. Some people love you completely and still cannot show up and after a while you stop making them feel guilty about it. He was not a bad man. I want to be clear about that. He was a mechanic in Mushin for 35 years. Worked 6 days a week. Sent every one of us to school. Never raised his hand. Never left. The lights stayed on and the rent was paid and there was always food and he did all of it quietly without asking to be celebrated. He just could not sit in a plastic chair and watch something. I accepted that and moved on. Last year I bought my first property. A flat in Ojodu. Took 9 years of saving and 2 years of paperwork and a lawyer who nearly finished me. When the keys finally came I sat in the empty flat on the floor for an hour just breathing. I called my mother first. She screamed. My sister cried. I didn't call my father. 3 days later he called me. Said he heard about the flat from my mother. Said he wanted to come and see it. I didn't know what to do with that so I just said okay. Gave him the address. Figured he'd say I'll try and we'd never speak of it again. He showed up on Saturday at 9am. Stood at the door in his good agbada. The one he only wears for serious things. Holding a small nylon bag. I let him in and he walked through every room without speaking. Not quickly. Slowly. Like he was counting something. He checked the pipes under the kitchen sink. Knocked on the walls. Opened and closed the windows twice each. Looked at the ceiling in every room the way only a man who has fixed things his whole life looks at ceilings. Then he came and stood in the sitting room and looked at me. Said the pipework is good. Said the windows seal properly. Said whoever built this knew what they were doing. I nodded. Long silence. Then he opened the nylon bag. Inside was a small framed photo. Me at maybe 7 years old sitting on the bonnet of an old car in his workshop. Grinning. Both legs swinging. He's standing beside me with his hand on my shoulder looking at something outside the frame. I remember that day. I had gone to the workshop after school and he let me sit there while he worked and gave me a Fanta and put a Michael Jackson cassette on the small radio. I didn't know anyone had taken a photo. He said he kept it on his workshop table for 22 years. Said he wanted me to have something for the new place. I held that frame and stood very still. He said he knew he missed things. Said he was not good at the sitting and watching. That crowds made something in him go wrong in a way he never knew how to explain. Then he said the flat was good and he was proud and he asked if there was anything in the kitchen because he hadn't eaten. I laughed. Made him eggs and bread while he sat at my kitchen table in his good agbada like he owned the place. We ate and he told me about a car he was working on. I told him about a case that was giving me trouble. Normal conversation. The kind we should have been having for years. He left at 1pm. At the door he gripped my shoulder the same way he did in that photo. Didn't say anything. Didn't need to. The photo is on my sitting room wall now. First thing I hung in the whole flat. Some fathers cannot sit in the plastic chair. But mine drove to Ojodu in his good agbada on a Saturday morning with a 22 year old photograph in a nylon bag. That was his standing ovation. I just didn't know to look for it in that shape.

@BIwajomo @samuel_leeds Amen

Some hearts are being awakened to prayer, some to study, some to giving and some like Samuel's to matters of administration. In all, a revival like has never been seen is coming and would spread through the United Kingdom like wildfire. Hearts would turn to Jesus. The places of worship would be filled. Amen.

I wanna buy churches like this that are shutting down across England. So if you know a church that's for sale and potentially closing down, let me know. I wanna buy a church. I don't care if it's got planning permission to return to flats redeveloped. I don't care. I wanna buy it. I don't care how profitable the conversion will be. If it was built as a church, I believe it needs to stay as a church. I want to save churches like this one from being shut down and sold off to developers all across the UK. I love making profit in property, but when someone's being built as a church to honour Jesus Christ, that's a no no. There's revival coming in England and we need to keep our churches open. Ready for what’s to come. Is this a good idea you would support?
