My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends: Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

All this and you’re still making five yr plans. All this and you still worry about double texting. All this and you’re still counting calories and sucking in your stomach. All this and you still can’t forgive your parents. All this and you’re still waiting for someone to go first

What a story! A janitor at a Yale University teaching hospital earned a college degree while working full time, then went to med school and is now returning to the same hospital as a resident in anesthesiology! washingtonpost.com/lifestyle… Mentors matter so much!

Nigerians are in the comments complaining about how poor their salaries are, and rightfully so. But when it’s time to get involved in the decisions that shape those outcomes, tribe and religion suddenly take over. It’s strange how people can be united by hardship, yet divided by identity, even when those divisions don’t actually change anything about their reality.

Igbo Christians remove the cap. They know what it means as a Christian you lower your self when you speak to God, and guess what that is correct and the ultimate respect to God. When you speak to your chi, or your ancestors you don’t remove your cap because you are their ontological equal. But when you speak to the Supreme God who made all of it, Nwanne remove that thing.

As someone who lived in Lagos before exiting, I believe that to genuinely enjoy Lagos, you must fall into one of four categories: (1) You’re an occasional IJGB visitor, returning intermittently and selectively, buoyed mostly by nostalgia and the romance of distance. (2) You have never lived in a properly functioning city outside Nigeria for more than 3 consecutive months; a strenuous visit to Zanzibar or Kenya every other year does not qualify. (3) Your income, social or other advantages are so tightly coupled to Lagos that leaving would require an intolerable loss of status, access, or opportunity making you a rational actor under enormous constraints. (4) You are temperamentally suited to chaos and tolerant of disorder in a manner that is so unusual, it would be best explained by a rare combination of low intelligence, a comfortingly low threshold for environmental expectations, and the possession of just the right physical resilience required to absorb the daily friction. Outside these categories, Lagos is utterly a hell hole. I will always stand by this. More than half the world’s population would struggle to believe it is even possible to live under conditions this hostile especially because those conditions are obscured by a remarkable asymmetry between everyday lived experience and the city’s relentless PR.

People are the true wealth. People. Not things. Not resources. People. Then ideas. Then all the rest. If you have the right people, and subscribe to the right ideas the rest will fall into place.

I don’t think we need to lie to ourselves, or exaggerate our similarities to coexist. I believe deeply in freedom of religion. I have friends of other faiths. I eat with them, respect them, and defend their right to worship. But respect doesn’t require pretending our beliefs are the same. It doesn’t require pampering. It allows honesty. When someone says, “We worship the same God and we believe in Jesus too,” that sounds conciliatory, but on closer inspection, it’s a false flag. Here’s why. If someone tells you they honor Donald Trump, respect him, acknowledge his importance, but insist he is the Governor of New York, not the President of the United States, what do you do with that? You don’t applaud the respect. You point out the category error. Titles matter because roles matter. Now imagine this claim appears 600 years after Trump lived, contradicts all earlier records, and then adds, “He wasn’t really President, it just appeared that way.” At some point, respect without accuracy becomes meaningless. I agree that religion is more complex than politics, but the logic is not different. Yes, Jesus is mentioned in the Qur’an. That’s not impressive by itself. Why wouldn’t He be? Jesus is one of the most historically attested, morally exceptional figures in human history. Agreeing that He existed, that He was sinless, or that He was a prophet is not a theological achievement, its baseline acknowledgment of reality. The issue is not whether Jesus is mentioned. The issue is who He is said to be and what role He plays and this is where the contrast becomes stark. The New Testament, take the book of Hebrews alone, does not merely make claims about Jesus. It argues; 1. Hebrews 1 carefully establishes that Jesus is not an angel but categorically above them. 2. Hebrews 2 explains why He had to become fully human, to truly represent humanity and defeat death from within. 3. Hebrews 3 shows He is greater than Moses, using a precise analogy: the builder of the house is greater than the house itself. 4. Hebrews 4–5 lay out the criteria for priesthood; representation, sympathy, divine appointment, and then demonstrate, step by step, how Jesus meets and exceeds every category. This is theological reasoning, not assertion. It’s coherence, not command. By contrast, Islam re-characterizes Jesus dramatically, denying the crucifixion, denying sonship, denying mediation, yet offers no comparably rigorous explanation for why this reinterpretation should override earlier testimony or how this version of Jesus resolves anything at all. Saying “Jesus is a prophet” is not depth. It’s reduction. And when you reduce someone while claiming to honor them, the burden is on you to explain why your version should be taken seriously. So yes, if Islam wants to claim continuity with Jesus, it’s not too much to ask for something more than isolated verses followed by “submit.” It should answer the theological depth that already exists. Let’s judge the arguments, not the applause lines.

Let me teach you one of life’s important lessons, then. When you achieve a goal, you set your sights on the next one. That’s the meaning of life, staying hungry.
