This is why business leaders should learn more about sustainable business practices. People think sustainability is just about the environment and carbon emissions. No, it's not. It's also about: - Responsible product design: not engineering apps to exploit behavioral vulnerabilities or promote addictive services - Financial inclusion and wellbeing: ensuring your products help customers build wealth, not lose it to gambling - Ethical marketing practices: not using customer data and transaction patterns to target people with betting ads - Consumer protection especially for vulnerable customers who may already be financially stressed - Data ethics: not weaponizing the trust customers place in you by selling their attention to gambling platforms - Regulatory and reputational risk management because this is exactly how you attract regulator scrutiny and destroy brand trust Banks have sustainability teams. They publish ESG reports. They sign up to UN Principles for Responsible Banking. Then they do this

I'm going to be a Chartered Accountant this year

Everything she said about black tax ✅ The people that matter will understand.

It was December 2023. We were in the family parlor in the East. You know the setting, crates of warm Malt, garden eggs, and heavy humidity. ​The agenda was simple: Chidi’s Wedding. Chidi is my cousin. He is 34. He has no job. He lives in the family house. But Chidi wanted a "Shutdown" wedding. He released a budget of N5.7 Million. ​Uncle Obi, the head of the meeting, cleared his throat. He didn't even look at the other cousins. He looked straight at me. with that smile elders use when they want to bill you. ​Uncle Obi: "Chizitere, Nne, look at you. You are glowing. God has buttered your bread in the city. You see, your brother Chidi is ready to settle down. We have calculated everything. The budget is N5.7m. We the elders will raise N500k. We are looking at our daughter, the star of the family, to cover the rest. the hall, food, and drinks. It is small for you." ​I sat there, freezing. "The rest? As in N5.2 million?" ​The room went quiet. Everyone looked at me, smiling, waiting for me to say "No problem, send the account number." ​I adjusted my glasses. I looked at Chidi. He was pressing his phone, looking unbothered, like it was his birthright. ​I cleared my throat. ​Me: "Uncle, wait o. Before I speak... how much is Chidi contributing? He is the groom." ​Uncle Obi: (Frowning) "Ah, Asa, you know the situation of the country. Chidi is still finding his feet. That is why we are family. We must cover his nakedness." ​That was the moment I chose violence. I dropped the Unpopular Opinion. ​Me: "Uncle, I will not give a dime. If Chidi has no job and no savings, he has no business doing a wedding of N5.7 million. Let him go to the registry, sign the paper, and go home. I will not finance a luxury party for a man who cannot afford to buy pampers for the child he is about to make." ​Boom. The scene was exactly like that picture. The swords came out. ​My Aunty slammed her hand on the table. Aunty Ngozi: "Look at you! You are a Biomedical Engineer! Do you know what that means? It is one of the biggest occupations in the world! You drive a big car! You work in a big Teaching Hospital! What is N5.7 million to you? It is chicken change! Do you want your brother to do a small wedding so his mates will laugh at us?" ​Chidi: (Finally speaking up) "Asa, I am disappointed. I thought we were blood. You want to disgrace me? You want my mates to laugh at me?" ​Uncle Obi: "You are wicked! A stingy girl! You will rot with that your money! If you don't help him, who will?" ​They gaslighted me for 2 hours. They called me "Arrogant." They said the city had corrupted me. I stood my ground. I didn't drop one Kobo. ​They gathered the money from themselves. Uncle Obi sold a plot of land. Aunty Ngozi borrowed from a loan shark. They threw the wedding. It was the talk of the town. I didn’t attend the weeding, i traveled back to Benin. ​Fast forward to last week. ​I received a call. It was Uncle Obi. His voice was no longer loud; it was trembling. ​ Uncle Obi: "Asa... Nne... are you busy? We have a crisis. Chidi's wife is in labor. Complications. The hospital is asking for deposit. And... the landlord has locked their door because of 1½ year rent. Please, shame is trying to kill us. Can you send something?" ​I took a deep breath. ​Me: "Uncle, but you people spent N5.7 million on Jollof rice and DJ just a year ago. Where is the 'Glory' of that wedding? Can the wedding gown pay the rent now?" ​He was silent. The phone cut. ​The Unpopular Opinion that got me attacked? "Poverty should be quiet." ​We have a toxic culture where we shame people for not funding the reckless lifestyle of family members. We call it "Support," but it is actually "Enabling" ​I am still the "Wicked Cousin" in their eyes. But I am a Wicked Cousin with my savings intact, while the "Good Family Members" are still broke. ​Sometimes, you have to let them point the swords at you, so you don't use your own money to buy the knife they will use to stab you later.

Let me retell my story! I graduated top of my class at the University of Ilorin. Was immediately offered an assistantship position with my prof and was to start my master’s immediately, but I just couldn’t see myself teaching biochemistry. Then came my first job offer: Mr. Biggs, as a restaurant supervisor. Starting salary? N27,500. All my friends (except my fiancée) told me not to take it. “It’s beneath you,” they said. Of course I took it, and I gave it everything. From 16-hour shifts to no days off, it was gruelling. Within a month, I had mastered almost everything, inventory, sales reports, store operations and started acting as the assistant manager. Four months later, Coca-Cola called. I joined them, did sales and business development, and two years after that, I moved to Chevron, where I worked for almost 10 years. I excelled in every role. By the 3-year mark, I was already on a career acceleration path and sent to the U.S. for a year of training, one of the best seasons of my life. But somewhere along the journey, I felt a pull into the world of entrepreneurship. So, I started a fruits and vegetable store, initially called Fruitivegies, that led me right to the start of my career, a healthy food restaurant, now @sofreshng Suddenly, everything connected. ~ My short stint at Mr. Biggs? Useful! ~ My sales & BD training at Coca-Cola? Critical! ~ My operational experience at Chevron? Game-changing! When you give your best at work, you’re doing yourself the bigger favour, not your employer. Because how you do anything is how you’ll do everything. Excellence compounds. And like Steve Jobs famously said, “you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” No experience is ever wasted, it may just show up again when you least expect it, so make the most of that opportunity, so: - Don’t despise small beginnings; they often carry your most important lessons. - Your first job doesn’t define you, but your attitude towards it does. - Follow the pull in your heart, it usually knows the next step, but asses the risk. - Luck shines on the prepared, but only if you’re diligent in the “small” seasons. - Excellence will always create opportunities, even when nobody is watching. At the end of the day, your journey will make sense, only if you give every stage your best. Keep showing up!!!

Anything you tax, disappears. The Laffer curve in its simplest form states: If you tax at a 100% rate, you get $0. If you tax at a 0% rate, you get $0. Norway wanted to tax the rich and bring in an extra $146m. In reality, it lost a potential $594m as rich people, who are very mobile and have good tax lawyers simply took $54b and left. Are tax bad? No, taxes fund teachers and policemen, but Laffer’s point is to strike a balance between taxes and government overreach. What works is to cut taxes, then expand the tax base. We have a tax cut that did just that, which Nigeria can learn from. In 2017, President Trump passed an extensive tax cut package. What happened after taxes were cut? (Figures from the US House Budget and Ways and Means Committees) 1. In fiscal year 2022, federal tax revenues rose $1.6 trillion or 48%. 2. Corporate income tax revenues rose $128 billion or 43%. 3. Personal income tax revenues rose over $1 trillion or 66%. In the same period, real wages grew 4.9% and real median household income rose by $5,000. However, correlation is not causation. Yes, Trump cut taxes and revenues rose, but is this a guaranteed economic theory? What we know is this: taxing the rich does not work because the rich can move their income around to avoid taxes. Sweden abolished its net wealth tax in 2011 because it did not generate sufficient revenue. France introduced a wealth tax, repealed it, replaced it with the Solidarity Tax on Wealth (ISF), and repealed that also in 2017. Nearly all nations in Europe have passed and repealed a wealth tax. The US has tried to pass a wealth tax but it has failed in the legislature—yet that has not stopped the tax-and-spend zealots from continuing to try. Economics is a patient teacher.

This is the "Quartus Economics" that the whole of Nigerian media has started quoting out of nowhere, like it's the word of a credible institution. Its website is a cheap template website that hasn't been customised or filled with content yet. An organisation with a cheap 1-page website filled with placeholder text is making recommendations about national monetary policy. And major Nigerian dailies are feverishly quoting its unseen report, which is definitely not because there is someone in the background spending millions of Naira to influence and nudge national conversation. Next thing you now, "Should Nigeria have N5,000 and N10,000 notes" will become a topic on talk radio shows by tomorrow, then it will be mentioned in the House of Reps, then the CBN will issue a statement, and next thing you know, you have new inflation-fuelling currency denominations, which is in line with IMF recommendations for Nigeria. When I say that Nigerians are being socially engineered through a devastating information war, the victims of that war whose brains are being turned into pulp accuse me of being a "conspiracy theorist." As I always say, whenever you wake up...
