Lmao! I should recommend books in economic history! The dollars are actually the last bulwark of your economy. Go after it and you will understand that economics function on the basis of trust and productivity
Ife was a school for geniuses sha. I can tell stories for days! Particularly in chemical engineering. There was a guy, Wole Talabi…I think he ended up in Mobil. Went to Imperial College and bested them again. I remember a part two course where we had to solve a problem using
As your mate from primary and secondary school, and knowing your academic ability, I never believed there was any other person that can best you in a class until I heard of that “4.94 bloke” in your class in our Ife years.
LOL.
That was when I knew farm get size. Lol.

Oh they thought they would succeed in using their PR machinery to quell and limit the backlash. Also, they expected the Iranians to back them via their regional militias. Let’s just say everyone backed off when they saw the handwriting on the wall

Yes this is true. A Nigerian professor once said that language is the music of meaning! It’s extremely powerful! There words and ideas in my local language that I cannot find equivalents in English! It’s not purely for business
@NaijaFlyingDr
Tell stories that are relatable. I remember teaching history during Nysc. It was difficult because most don’t really understand English. However, I helped them find words in their own meaning and it made all the difference
@knightofdelta
Culture will eat leadership for breakfast. The idea that you can simply import western ideas wholesale without sensitivity to cultural constraints is another extreme. We have these convos because there is a clash of belief systems! People are most important not principles.
@AfroVII
I was just thinking about this. People make arguments on this app without any nuance or critical thinking. Project opinions and take extreme conditions to force their imagined superior position
@MTforChange
I was just reading this on a blog about the complexity of the outcomes of the events of life. One on this side of the universe our perception of events is incomplete. Also, there are many things outside of our control. It is important to remain thankful and positive regardless
@asemota
I simply don’t know how they didn’t see it? They grossly overestimated their value. Empire blues I guess…They wanted to recreate the glory days
@KenjiCapital
Airline pricing is not the entire value prop. Plus this is pricing with luggage limitations. I find trains to be far more convenient and less prone to cancellations.
@NaijaFlyingDr
Yeah, Allen Avenue was the VI of Lagos before Tinubu stopped the flooding on the island. So it uniquely was the most important piece of real estate in Lagos. Plus it was made notoriously popular by Nollywood!

You’re not wrong. However, I think there’s a strong cultural plus traditional bias in her message. Hence, the emphasis of ‘performative acts’. A lot of this information is highly contextual and offering a different POV is highly appreciated

He’s right. Fortunately, the high level executive ed courses grant alumni status and she can claim these things. The game is the game

But it’s the writing style of many non-native English speakers. Whether it’s bad or not is moving the goalposts. We fundamentally communicate meaning in our native tongue. Can

She would never give him those two days at home. Not with that tone of distrust. Also, it’s obvious why he wants to switch off his phone. She is part of what is causing him stress!

Go to Athens Greece. Strike a convo with a random 40+ man. They will regale you with stories of the USA 94 & Atlanta 96 teams. I entered into those convos more than once. I marveled!

I always make it clear that I do not condone disloyalty. Especially the ones that whisper behind a person's back or reward good with evil. I have very little patience for it!

I agree with this 100%. Was in Akwa during his tenure briefly. He made anambra work based on testimonies I heard on the ground

This is such an enlightening answer especially the piece on nationhood. It reminds me of a book on the development of capital markets as a direct consequence of nationhood
@AskMichaelTaiwo
I actually know someone who went to both. Came to JHU for the final part of his PhD with his advisor. Cornell is in Ithaca, which is country and laid back. JHU is in an urban environment where it literarily dominates the city. I can't see a significant difference in living exps.
Chuckles. This might be tangential to the conversation but many don’t realize that English is a pidgin language. That’s why it has many origin words from other languages. Why is this relevant? It is an extremely poor language for descriptions except it is used in a complex way
I actually dislike how Americans flatten the English language into a few set of lazy terms for everyday use, parading it presumptuously as the best approach. The sentence constructions are even lazier. I’ve been intuitively refusing to sound as pedestrian, and I love it.

Business decisions are increasingly data driven. Statistics is the foundation of data science and analytics. And as time passes it’s importance will only increase
This tweet made me remember my aunt, who died this month 10 years ago! The good ones go early don’t they?! How I was perhaps the last one in the family to see her alive! Death is a thief! A cruel one!

I love Steve Jobs. He said what I quoted on my profile - it is better to be a pirate than to join the navy! Walk your path basically…he also said, don’t be a career…

Your presence on Twitter is mentoring. At least for me. You are mentoring me. As per mastermind group, it’s changing my life as we speak. But fundamentally, give value
@timigod
My own is how to turn this around. Its very difficult for some men to believe not to talk of understanding. I had to have a frank convos with a dear friend to even begin to appreciate this. It's really bad, like really really bad
@superirale
@asemota
I’ll actually leave a clue as I don’t intend to trend on twitter. As Yoruba I was taught that Oranmiyan was Oduduwas son. But, the edo/benin technology seemed to be far ahead. Herein might lie the answer. I leave it open for further discussion
@realkelvin07
They didn’t want to lure any Hamas. They did not think Hamas had the audacity. There is an NYTimes podcast that goes into serious detail about it. Even if they attacked they did not expect them to get very far. It was more about hubris than anything.
@Jasielinvests
You don't seem to grasp the distinction between having a limited vocabulary and choosing to write simply. From the midwit peak, all you see is lowlands surrounding you.
If you have a personal assistant or an executive asssitant who is underperforming. Get her/him to take this 26 video course on YouTube. Its amazing.

Reminds me of when I worked in retail. Wild times. Just don’t look down on anyone. A whole group of people came in the store to keep me safe because stores were getting robbed!
@Wizarab10
Firstly, This thing is about image. It’s very complex because women are conditioned to be “wifey material” and it’s hard to navigate that within the context of a man’s expectations!
@rajsinghchohan
I think this is an extreme take. The team already over performed. Things I would do: move szoboslai forward. Get rid of salah 2 seasons ago. Move Trent to midfield. Time for Van Dijk to leave as well. Nunez plays better on the wings. He’s not a striker. We need a proper false 9
@NaijaFlyingDr
My boss uses a yoruba word for this. He believes it causes illnesses in people when values, words and actions are misaligned. I believe a lot of people will save themselves a lot of heartache if they were congruent as tlyou put it
@Wizarab10
Due diligence will save you a lot of stress. I will not have married her if I didn’t not see her dad. Let heaven come down. I know women like this, funny tho is they’re not bad people per se but they turn their men to projects. You have to clear her early and exert yourself quick
@MTforChange
Chief, the family is now the motivation for you to succeed. I had a friend in a similar situation, and God helped him from 3rd class, and today, he works in a global bank. So its possible

Yep, there is this YouTube documentary on Queen Victoria that explains it. And then the inbreeding with the British by other European houses perpetrated it

I understand this logic but if I may make a case, we should consider what their margins look like and if there is wiggle room. There is also the ‘problem’ of over-supply and creating new markets for their products.

Runtown’s mad over you is a clear use case. The highlife base is fundamentally Ghanaian sound. But his genius was to make it his own while even shouting out their influence. They’re displaying an inability to adapt to current realities where access to music has been democratized

@tosinolaseinde
I don’t disagree at all. But a little counter argument. Pimping implies the girls are forced. This is unlikely. Underage perhaps, but there are many hookup channels on public websites. Shortchange? She is a sex broker. I’m just wondering if it rises to the level of trafficking

The issue with the idea that you can game the system of God is a lack of understanding of consequences. The main thing is you lose your princely capacity to command darkness and you open your life to destruction. The devil does not play games!

Like read Rockefellers TITAN. He built Uchicago for 15 years funded alone. CDC, spelmans college, Omo JD Rockefeller hated Carnegie because he put his name on everything

What do you wanna know? The banks business is to borrow at one rate and lend at a higher price. If banks are competing to attract business they should cut the lending rate to attract more business. However in Nigeria the opposite is happening

So sorry. They are not wrong. The issue for me is that there is no proof that the outcome would be different if you were older. There is always a bias for proximate causes.
@asemota
There is something deeper going in this conversation. About Oranmiyan’s true identity. As a Yoruba, I was taught one thing until I met an edo prince on a flight and learned something else. Just sitting here chuckling…
People don’t understand the power of trivia as largely a way to become an effective networker. Whenever I meet someone new, I ask them where they’re from and 3 random things I know about their people/culture. Always works like magic
I had this prof in uni that liked me cos I knew random stuff people in my class didn’t know and he loved our off chemistry conversations. One day in class he was talking about WW2 and asked a question about communism, I was the only in that class who knew Karl Max.
