Grind Tech harder than Academia

Bunch of faggots, you even got a reply, some would ghost you.

Cursor got acquired in just 3 years that to for whopping 60 billion that too for a vs code fork and it was build by bunch of 22 y/o mit dropouts. I am one of the early user of cursor and started using it back in 2023 and kept paying for 1 year in 2024-25 seeing this is still unbelievable. You can just build stuff and sell it even if it’s an ai wrapper.

I'm so glad you're regretting your actions. Cos once you guys are on top, you feel like mini gods. Flexing your redeemable actions, don't know what's so hard in replying to a DM. See u on the other side.

Carrying your life and handling it to the unknown is not the best way I would navigate life. Life has got challenges, accept them and move on.

Normalize being very direct, very straight to the point and very assertive. A surprising amount of tension in adult life exist because people avoid saying what they actually mean.

They won't help u when you're alive, but when you've been proclaimed dead. They'd kill more than six cows, for someone who was struggling to survive. Imagine you could give that dead person the monetary value for just one cow, you'd have saved his life big time.

Failure is a part of life, don't stick around with it for too long. You failed, get up and try again, after each failure, recovery should be very fast. Life is too short to be wasted on frivolities.

The fact that @SpaceX drops today and it took me less than 20 minutes to buy and gift to 10 amazing people shows the reason why i bet on @Nectar_finance. They understand that access to wealth creation (not management) is the real use case for this technology. Adoption is about meeting people where they already are.

Men NEVER forget disrespect during his downtime‼️ One way or the other, the woman will pay for it. This is why I always advise women who were caught cheating by their man to leave the relationship/union, because a true masculine man will mess her up on that basis, one way or the other. It is also why when a woman says the man they “built” with or was with when “he had nothing” (a false statement in most cases btw) left her, my first instinct is: what did she do to him during the period “he had nothing”? Because many of these women do stuff to men they feel they’re doing a favor by dating—from cheating to condescending remarks—all due to his financial state at the time. But once he succeeds and can hold his own, they forget what they did and only mention the part when the guy left after making it. It is even worse for those who cheated and thought they weren’t caught, because they will keep wondering why, while most guys stay silent and just pull the plug. Imagine your babe cheating on you because you are not financially buoyant, then wanting you to settle for her when you become stable. That is not an adequate reward, and no sane man should reward such a woman with commitment. If she truly contributed to your growth and you feel indebted, pay her off the best way you can and leave her be. Never compensate her with marriage. Find another woman that loves you. That’s it. Finally, if you are a woman, know that the average man will not forgive you for cheating. Even if he does, he will punish you for it one way or the other—only rare exceptions. Men never forget disrespect‼️

Is it just me? Once I broke like this, I no dey feel any other emotion apart from anger and disgust 😭

As a Founder building out of Africa , without an Ivy league education, experience working with a global company I.e Meta or a top Local company I.e Paystack , you must have a very strong proof of work to convince investors to back you , build a strong personal brand on social media too, talk about your work like your life depends on you, you are not playing the same game as other founders.

The truth is the only person who keeps shouting “Fintech……Jail time” in this tech space is YOU 🫵🏽

Time to sell myself.

Erkekler sevilmeyi ve değer görmeyi genellikle "ne sağlayabildikleriyle" doğru orantılı görürler. "Ben sadece ben olduğum için sevilmeye layık mıyım?" sorusunu kendilerine sormaya korkarlar. Bu yüzden cebi boşaldığında ya da kariyeri kötüye gittiğinde partnerinden, arkadaşlarından ve sosyal hayattan tamamen uzaklaşır, içine kapanır. Çünkü kafasındaki koda göre: "Başarısız bir erkek, sevilmeyi hak etmez."

So I was doing a study on the experiences of students who had distinctions in medical school because I wanted to get distinctions myself. And I began to find out something very interesting. Most people think that students who get distinctions in medical school are people who read for 12 hours every day. People who read for 13 hours. 16 hours. People who do all-nighters every night. People who read like superheroes. That was what I thought too. But what shocked me was something entirely different. Most of the students I came across who consistently got distinctions read for about four hours every day. Now, the shocking part was not that they read for four hours. The shocking part was that they read every single day. It was more of a consistency thing than an intensity thing. So I began looking deeper into how these people actually studied. And honestly, it was surprisingly simple. Every class they attended, they made sure they understood that lecture that same day. They reviewed the slides. They revised the notes. They tried to understand everything that had been taught before the day ended. The next day, they would read it again. Then move on to whatever new material had been taught. They usually had a plan. A structure. A system. And they simply followed it. What stood out to me was that they started reading from the beginning of the semester. Not two weeks before exams. Not one month before exams. From the beginning. Think about that for a second. If a semester lasts four months or six months, and you've been reading consistently from the very first week, what exactly is left for you to cram when exams arrive? Nothing. By the time examinations were approaching, most of them had already covered virtually everything. While other students were beginning to panic and trying to learn entire courses from scratch, these students were mostly revising and practicing past questions. That was the first thing I noticed. The second thing was even stranger. The students who got distinctions did not seem to have a "time to read." That completely confused me. I had always assumed that serious students had strict reading schedules. Maybe they read from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Or from 8 p.m. to midnight. Or woke up by 4 a.m. every day. That was my picture of discipline. But many of these students seemed to operate differently. Instead of having a time to read, they had a time for everything else. Reading was the default. Reading was normal. Reading was what they naturally drifted towards. You would see them lying down with their phones. Not scrolling social media. Just casually reviewing slides. Looking at a pathway. Studying a diagram. Reading a note. Going through a lecture. Nothing dramatic. Nothing intense. Just reading. It was part of their normal day. Then they scheduled the other activities. They had time for TikTok. Time for football. Time for movies. Time for friends. Time for resting. Time for fun. Their timetables were not built around work. Their timetables were built around everything that was not work. Work was already assumed. And that realization hit me hard. Because most of the suffering associated with studying isn't actually the studying itself. Most of the struggle comes before the studying. The real battle is convincing yourself to sit down. Convincing yourself to open the book. Convincing yourself to start. That internal mental resistance is where most people lose. Once you get past that stage, the difficulty drops dramatically. Reading a book is not physically strenuous. The difficult part is beginning. And these distinction students had solved that problem. Because studying had become normal to them. It wasn't an event. It wasn't something they prepared for. It wasn't a special activity. It was simply what they did. So they could read for an hour and not even feel like they had studied. They would get tired. Drop the phone.

Some of the principles I live by: The body and mind are malleable. The master was once a student. Impossible is nothing. If it exists and I want it enough, I will get it. I'd rather be the predator than the prey. Being rejected by a woman is normal; move on. Not everybody will like you, and that is absolutely fine - you don't like everybody either. Apologize when you are wrong. Motivation is a false god; discipline is god. Keep showing up. The harder and smarter you work, the luckier you get. A moving man will meet his luck. No one religion is superior to the others. You are what you consume. A wise man is a man also capable of great foolishness. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you are right. If you don’t tell the world who you are, the world will tell you. You are a fragment of the Almighty. Be kind always. Do not make excuses for a known enemy; treat him accordingly. Avoid problems with people, but if they bring it to your doorstep, approach it accordingly. Avoid physical fights. If you have to fight or do whatever to save your life, do not hesitate. A dead man tells no tale. - Hakeem Onitọlọ.

As people are increasingly noticing how quickly their data gets exhausted, I’m genuinely shocked and disappointed that Nigerians are still staying silent about the drastic decline in the quality of service from all our network providers! What is going on?! Last October, I and some members of our digital security company arrived in Nigeria for Detty December. From October 2025 to April 2026, we travelled across multiple states for different assignments. The state of internet connectivity in this country is a complete national disgrace! Every single network MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile is simply unacceptable. No one can truly rely on any of them. There is hardly any serious Nigerian whose business, work, or livelihood depends on being constantly online who uses only one ISP. You are forced to subscribe to MTN Airtel possibly others as a survival strategy. Yet even with multiple lines active, you still struggle to get consistent 20Mbps speeds in many locations for any meaningful period of time. MTN FibreX is often hyped as the fastest, but even that is unreliable. One moment it works decently, the next it completely drops. And when it stops connecting you will go through hell calling their helpline or calling MTN out on social media before they will fix it? You can wait for weeks before MTN even responds to your complaint. Weeks! You’ve paid for a subscription you couldn’t use, and they will not refund you a single kobo. They simply keep your money. This is no longer just “bad service.” This is economic sabotage. This is holding an entire generation of Nigerians back while our peers in other countries are thriving and very good internet is the least of their worries. How many freelancers, students, crypto traders, content creators, developers, and small business owners have lost millions because of this nonsense? How many opportunities have passed us by because Zoom calls refuse to connect, files won’t upload, or VPNs keep disconnecting? Nigerians, are we going to keep lying to ourselves? Or are we finally going to speak up? @MTNng @AirtelNigeria @GloWorld @9mobile @NCC_NG @FGN Are you seeing what you are delivering to Nigerians? Or are you laughing at us in your internal chats while collecting our hard-earned money every month? If you are a Nigerian struggling with this daily frustration, reply this post and share your worst experience. Share your state and the network(s) involved. Let’s call out this madness together. This silence must end!
