My toxic trait is building startups in my head, then doing the brand design. I've secured pre-seed funding in my imaginations sef.
So, here's it. Enhanse, an automobile monitoring software for households, rental companies, transport unions etc to monitor their vehicles & drivers

Tinubu has won the elections already, yet APC boys are still releasing doctored recordings of a call between Peter Obi and Oyedepo.
In a race, when the winner has been handed the trophy but doesn't stop running, there is something chasing him.

Your hardworking parents could only send you to OAU, UI, Unilag because the system's rigged against Nigerians.
An agbero found his way into politics & sent his children abroad.
Yet you're supporting him & his principal because he's Yoruba like you, he's Muslim like you.

Koinonia service, instruction was to sow seeds. First time I'd do that in my life.
I sent ALL the money I had apart from the Oyemaja Foundation's funds from donors. I'm not capping.
The next 2 days, I lost the two jobs I had. Nasty fight with bridges burnt.

Fact: I've been broke-shamed many times. Clothes, shoes; told 'you can't afford her' when I used to ask for numbers.
Started earning, but realized how stupid it is to prove it with clothes/shoes. Today, people try to broke shame me & I just smile.

The first two months after learning graphic design, I landed a client and made $20,000. That's about 10 million naira.
I will share how I was able to secure this client, and hopefully it helps a designer and other creatives.

I've called people fools for doing the same.
But I think God taught me two lessons. First, by snatching both jobs from my hand right after doing transfer, he was saying it's not foolishness, it's love. Second, I learned first hand the meaning of faith and trust.

More clients as the weeks and months passed by, and I was back on my feet in no time.
Looking back, I wasn't going to curse God if I'd remained broke.

I embraced the frugal lifestyle so seriously that my parents buy stuff, bring it to Lagos and ask me to transfer the money back cos they know I won't get it myself.

It'd probably take me less than 2 weeks to deliver. My fees from those clients was almost double of what I was earning in both jobs combined.

I'd have rationalized it by being in error of not understanding the principles of sowing and tithing.

When God wants to expose enemies disguising as your friends, he gives those friends a little taste of power.
