MY PROBLEM WITH SCHOOLING.

My Problem With Schooling

Honestly, if certificates and credentials weren’t a part of strategic inclusion, I WILL NEVER BE A PROPONENT OF FORMAL SCHOOLING. The thing dey tire me abeg (it tires me). But it is what it is.

My daughter’s teacher sent me a message during the Sallah break to report that my girl left some of her books in school. My first impulse was anger ‘why would she do that?’ Then in the same breathe, I recollected my chat with a friend who told me ‘your daughter likes to read sha. She even reads your own library. How does she do it?’ Irony!!! How do you explain that a child LOVES MY LIBRARY but forgets her ACADEMIC LITERATURE in school? One other reason why I couldn’t stay angry with my daughter is that I WAS JUST THE SAME WHEN I WAS HER AGE.

DOES ADVERTISING REALLY WORK, ANYMORE?

Does Advertising Really Work

Recently, I have been having these mental intercourses, asking myself if advertising is really as potent as it is perceived. A Lagos Food brand approached me to be their brand ambassador and I requested that they should give me a few weeks to clear my desk from some pending projects so I can give a proper response. While I was deliberating my response, I asked myself ‘does brand ambassadorship and advertising really work?’

Build a Beast – LIVE PROFITABLY AND BE PERSONALLY FULFILLED

Build a Beast

Last night, during the LIVE ZOOM CLASS on BUILD A BEAST, we calculated how much SOBCA makes in a year and we pegged it at an average. The resultant outcome was that IF WE CONTINUE AT THE CURRENT RATE OF GROSS INCOME IN NAIRA, IT WILL TAKE SOBCA 8,333 YEARS TO HIT “UNICORN” STATUS. 😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭😭

Even my GreatGrandChildren to the 7th generation won’t see Unicorn at this rate. In fact, Jesus would have come back and rapture would have happened. E PAIN ME O. 💔❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹

I HAVE BEEN A FOOL FOR TRUST. Caveat: Long Read Please.

“LESS THAN 10% OF VOCATIONAL PEOPLE IN NIGERIA ARE HONEST.” That is what he told me. Instantly, I felt like a fool. Because at the instant, voices flushed through my head of everything everyone else had told me about trust too easily and being too gullible. I hated that it seemed true after all; I trust too quickly and I love people to easily.

SACK ALL YOUR CONSULTANTS AND COACHES, INCLUDING ME.

One of my dearest clients told me last week that she was hiring a coach to help her with a particular task. I asked her not to hire him for just one task. I advised her to hire him for a fuller project. “Why pay a huge amount for a single task when you can pay about the same amount for more with the same person?”, I asked her. She replied back with a question “are you sending me away?” 🤣😂😂🤣🤣

APPLE CARS (iCar) ARE BADASS!!!! I FEAR FOR ELON MUSK.

Some time late 2020, Apple had entered a partnership with Kia/Hyundai that failed even before it took off. It was like premature ejaculation. The partnership laid to rest speculations that Tesla was going to have a fierce competition in the electric car market until Apple pulled a “Trojan horse” on us. APPLE CARS ARE DUE TO BE UNVEILED IN 2022. WoW!!!
