Imagine seeing this guy in the middle of the night.

When will Elon Musk stop accumulating wealth? Is he going to keep going like this forever? He is the richest man, not sure anyone will get to $1T in the next 200 years. When will he say enough, I need to stop accumulating wealth.

Some of your bosses schooled in the village or they grew up from poor homes. Some, didn't even visit Lagos or any big city until they graduated. But they're your bosses and they pay you salaries or wages. You can make it in life without being a thief. I am advising you as a man that has never stolen or done anything illegitimate to feed his family. Tow the path of legitimacy. You'll be as proud and courageous as I am. Wuruwuru life will not help you. You'll only bring misery upon yourself and your innocent children. If you cannot teach your children to steal, then you should not be doing it. Quick money is quick death. End.

✈️ Normal plane turbulence and an outburst experience are significantly different. Now that I am a bit stable, let me narrate my experience yesterday on Airpeace flight P47190 en route to Port Harcourt from Lagos. The flight was scheduled for 6:40 a.m. takeoff 🛫. At around 6:37 a.m., we were already taxiing and getting ready for takeoff. Shortly after takeoff and the aircraft broke into the top of the cloud layer, we felt the balance that comes with a plane cruising in the clear air above the clouds. Of course, turbulence is normal even when a plane cruises on autopilot. I have felt turbulence countless times in my nearly a decade of frequent flying locally and internationally. Fast forward to when we were approaching Port Harcourt, the pilot announced that the weather in Port Harcourt is terrible and if there are no improvements, he would have to take us back to Lagos. Just before landing 🛬, the pilot announced again that the weather hasn’t improved so he would consider a circular holding pattern while he awaits Port Harcourt weather update. He gave up to 30 minutes for this. The pilot held the plane on a circular pattern up to 5 times and shortly after that, he announced that the weather in Port Harcourt has improved greatly. This is the moment things were about to go haywire. I usually seat by the window while on a plane. I already saw the water bodies at the region so it was clear that the plane was descending. Anyone can also tell this from the change of altitude. Just as the plane was breaking down from the cloud deck, we were hit by an intense microburst (strong crosswinds that are extremely beyond safe limits). Suddenly, the plane speed accelerated faster and began to climb back into the clouds. At this very point, the wind shear was in charge. A moment, it took us heights unimaginable. Another moment, the plane feels to decline into abyss. The wind shear tossed the aircraft at will like a dice as the plane maintained an accelerated constant speed. The plane’s ambiance changed. Everyone began to pray at the top of their voices, children were crying. I reminded God of what he had promised me in life that are yet to come to pass. I reminded him that he had promised to be with me according to his words and promises. I can’t die now because his promises are still underway. I prayed. I asked him for mercy and constantly repeated these words: SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS During the moment, the plane was thrown in and out of the clouds while it sought balance. This isn’t your “regular” turbulence as “regular” turbulence isn’t enough to prevent a plane from landing. This was a fully blown go-around experience I don’t wish for anyone. At some points, I could feel my spirit leaving me, it felt like the end was coming. It’s very difficult to narrate in full, my entire experience. Sigh! When we finally climbed back to the cloud tops, everything came back to normal. This time, we were already heading back for Lagos. Not too long, I saw a ray of sunlight from the cumulonimbus clouds and hope was restored. I didn’t cry during the haywire moments until we landed in Lagos. I cried briefly in the aircraft and when we disembarked, at the boarding gate, I cried again. Before leaving the aircraft, I walked to the cockpit to salute the high professionalism of the pilot. I asked myself, what if the plane couldn’t beat the microbursts to incline back to safe regions in the clouds? What if the microbursts sink the plane and everything goes out of proportion? If it was a smaller or older plane, would we have survived the downdraft? So many questions on my mind. I have been shaking since returning home. I have cried more than ten times. This is the first time I have shed tears in over 16 years. I want to appreciate those who called and texted me. I stopped receiving calls yesterday because once I tried to explain what happened, I ended up crying. Above all, God be praised. 🕊️

money used in making more money is the hardest to get. starting from zero opens your eyes to a lot of opportunities you can’t afford.
