Let me teach you something that many people do but are not bold enough to say publicly. Many investors use profits from short-term trades to build long-term positions in projects they truly believe in. 😃 For me, whenever I publicly talk about a project, it usually means I have the conviction to hold it for at least 2–3 years. If it's a low-cap gem that I strongly believe in, I buy gradually until I reach a position I'm comfortable with, sometimes aiming to become one of the top holders. That way, my conviction is backed by action. Then there are other projects I quietly invest in without talking about them. When they pump, I don't get emotional. I simply take out my capital, secure some profits, and leave the rest to run. For example: I invest $500 in a project, and it grows to $3,000. I may withdraw $1,200. - $500 is my original capital. - $200 goes to my family or personal needs. - $500 gets reinvested into a stronger, long-term conviction project. That's how I gradually build my portfolio. I don't care whether the project is at a $10 million market cap or higher. If my conviction remains strong, I accumulate over time until I reach my desired position. And no, I rarely sell my entire bag. Anything can happen in this market, and I don't want to miss opportunities on either side. ☺️ Another important lesson: Always keep some funds in stablecoins. When the market turns red and everyone is panicking, you'll have dry powder ready to take advantage of opportunities instead of watching from the sidelines. 😀 Most importantly, don't let crypto become your only source of income. Build skills. Start businesses. Farm. Learn tech. Invest in yourself. Diversify your income streams. That way, your investments are funded by cash flow—not by desperation. People pay thousands of dollars to learn portfolio management and capital allocation. I just shared a part of my own approach with you for free. Use it wisely. Don't say I never did anything for you ooo. 🫡

In January 2022, Chidi Okafor found a file he was never supposed to see. He was a Senior Internal Auditor at Pinnacle Financial Services — one of Lagos’s fastest-growing microfinance institutions. The file was mislabelled. He opened it by mistake. He wished, many times in the years that followed, that he hadn’t.

Banter aside, this Nigeria team would have been a huge threat at the World Cup.

In 1987, Baba Adeleke bought land in Ibeju-Lekki. It cost him ₦12,000. He was a primary school teacher. It took him three years to save that money. He built nothing on it. Just held it. Told his four children it was their future. He died in 2019 believing he had given them something. He had no idea what he had actually given them. 🧵 A thread.

Ethiopia was never colonized. For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent. Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity. If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true. Can we please retire this excuse?

Release the footage, you evil bastards!

Has the military discovered location of the Ogbomosho kidnappers already? Yes. Can the military just enter and attack the place so we can rescue the kids and let us move on? No. You cannot start bombing a location with terrorist when they have 48 civilians you want to recover alive. I think most people don’t know what is at stake. That’s 48 human shields! Protest will not help at this point. Strikes will not help. Anyone who genuinely wants those kids out will not think about any of those options at this point. Not at all.
