I went to see a potential investor today and he wasn’t interested in my deck pitch etc, he wanted to engage me outside of work and understand who I was. So 2yrs ago I would have found that very uncomfortable and literally blocked off that conversation. But we did a course in my
How did this nonsense POS system become the norm?
There’s never money at the atms, I am buying my own money back from pos.
Makes absolutely zero sense.
Dear Lord, I pray for this entrepreneur to find capable and honest employees in Nigeria. I pray for resilience for him to maintain the standards he has envisaged on his business plan.
American returnee launches a new airline and takes delivery of the new airplanes in Lagos. Babawande Afolabi who is in his 30s, was an investment banker in the US, and will begin affordable air transportation to Abuja (ABV), Akure (AKR), Enugu (ENU), Ilorin (ILR), Owerri.
There is a spot in Ikoyi called RapJoint. It’s a lounge + library/bookstore that houses history of hip hop and Lagos.
It’s Nos 4 Norman Williams Ikoyi. It’s a cool concept ! And food is priced fine.
Actual shout out to
@iam_Davido
for paying songwriters, giving them splits and constantly shouting them out. This has greatly helped the songwriting sphere grow in confidence
Lmao yesterday I saw growth. Not just in me but all my friends. 5yrs ago we couldn't afford anything but good wishes on our birthdays. Yesterday we were having 6figures lunch, going to our artist's listening party and planning a Seychelles trip as a group.
My heart is so gratefu
I tweeted this out of frustration today.
Went to the gas station, fill up was going to be like 45k.
Fuel station said pos is not working and they don’t collect transfer only cash. A POS vendor was waiting there to collect about N600 on my 45k 😂. Needless to say I left there

A phenomenal pop star.
Goes to a country, honors them by wearing their country’s flag, does a dance break with their song set, generally seen being happy around the country, inclusive picture taking.
There’s no stopping Ayra Starr from this global dominance. She was made for
Ayra Starr superstar outdid herself for C6 Fest. I am so proud of Ayra Starr she is playing no games and i love it. Sorry to post again but this AAAATTE.
The entire CHOREO was siiiick.

Local Nigerian Brand managers, this team is prime and well positioned to expose your brand at the olympics. Spend that marketing money here! The team is also devoid of Nigeria. Government interference! Help us get this medal
Reminder that The Experience with at least 400k people in attendance starts at exactly 7pm as announced EVERY YEAR in the last 16yrs. So yes it is very possible to be excellent in this same Nigeria.
Eg if you send a deck to someone likely people and their first response:
1. Low context: what have you done, who have you serviced, what is your revenue base
2. high context: have you considered a scenario in engaging NFTs in your business to get a better ROI prediction?
Qing Madi by 23 will most likely be 4 albums deep and 6yrs in the game, top 3
Tears in my eyes. My girlies have a bright future.
Ayra Starr, Bloody Civillian, Fave, Kold AF in 6yrs time will be leading the industry.
Democracy in full effect.
I cover all of them with the blood
You want to be naked, be naked in your room please. Dance naked in your room please. You are stressing those of us that actually need to change the world with brains and dont want people looking at us naked.
Tems next week
Simi this quarter.
The women are active! No toxic energy, just good music and grinding!
Days I dreamed about! Multiple Women leading their lanes and no useless one spot comparison.
High contextual people are more likely to work with you and your ideas based on you, they are more willing to take a chance than low contextual people. This dichotomy helps you prepare well for different types of investors.
Congrats are in place for the 31-year old Adeoye Owolewa for making Nigeria proud by being the first Nigerian to win a seat in the United States Congress.
Raising. Within 20mins I clocked what the investor was trying to decipher, he wanted to know if I was a financially wise person and also had intergrity. Also wanted to know how sharp I was and it was done through a game of golf and him explaining chess to me. 👌
A good meeting.
MBA about cultural differences and I took from that course low contextual people and high contextual people. Low contextual people are only focused on work and not interested in you personally and only work with you based on your experience. High contextual people are more
Guys
@iam_Davido
deserves to be in a hall of fame or something! This guy is doing so much credit and proper split wise for songwriters and producers! In an industry where we have to fight hard for these two categories of people, he deserves accolades!
Relationship based and like to understand people outside of just work. I am generally a low contextual person. However when I took the course and identified that, I have gotten more investors to listen and give me more insight in the last 1month than 12months I have been fund
I worry about how battered mentally we are in Nigeria by corrupt and flawed systems.
Chioma has the right to review a product as a consumer.
Erisco has the right to file an action if they feel aggrieved.
Erisco HAS ZERO RIGHTS TO BULLY A CITIZEN WITH THE POLICE.
You see a politician unguarded outside the country, instead of you to sit and have an actual conversation and find out why passport takes 10months to get and what happened at kuje prison, no, you want to be a tik tok star
Lmaoooo so my polling unit is Ajiran 027. It was at Ajiran primary school last election. They moved it to one inside lungu behind the Ajiran school field .
I got there with my aunt and as we entered they were slapping and beating a 6’5 man. My aunt said let’s go back.
You know what else we need to do, NGOS need to work with
@NigBarAssoc
and go to SARS hot zone states and ransack those prisons for those arrested without cause and get them out.
NGOs this is why we excuse you not paying taxes
Lol I said Ayra Starr can achieve Taylor Swift’s level of fame and small minded people are laughing. It’s still very obvious you people underrate the potential of the Nigerian creative industry. Still Dey play o!
In this life, I cannot wait to stop sitting in front of another man to explain why I am not interested in absconding to their country. I just want to explore . I hate applying for visas. HATE
My next month agenda is working with other lawyers and Nigerians to figure out how to ensure the electoral bill is passed Q1 2021.
This IS FUNDAMENTAL.
The FEAR. They instilled and instiutionalized FEAR in us. But we are fighting back. Eg
From secondary school, you speak up you are expelled
University, threat of expulsion
Law school, threat of explusion
Office, threat of unemployment
At every point threatening your existenc
Ok, I am about to live tweet from
The Special Round Table Discussion Between Nigeria’s Creative Cultural Innovative Industry and 2023’s Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.
You don’t owe the artiste and director anonymity sha if you didn’t sign anything. Also,
@adefoworola
and I can follow you to the four walls to collect justice because we don’t like rubbish against women.
8am on Sunday, I left my house in Ikeja to the set of a mv at Lekki. Some minutes after noon, the artiste arrived on set and said he changed his mind. He wants a light skinned model because my skin tone 'doesn't fit the aesthetic’ 🧵
I just watched a video on ig of a woman in tears because her dad died infront of the bank. Her brother came 3days before to withdraw money as next of kin but bank said come with the owner of account, the sick man came and waited for hours till he died
Its painful for those of us that our dads served in the Force whether military or police etc. It used to be a thing of pride. My dad would be turning in his grave
I really don't like that people discredit Davido's hardwork. You can tell Davido takes feedback seriously and works hard to correct his mistakes. Its ridiculous to think money is the only recipe for music industry success.
Actually today at Ikeja protest, the police men were police men today. No gun cocking, no harassment, just nicely dressed me following the protesters.
@jidesanwoolu
thank you for that.
In the light of Sabinus notification to the brands, is it safe to say we too can commence actions against influencers and brands using music for their ads disguised as skits without proper clearance?
Just asking randomly sha
The Entertainment industry, we have the moral obligation NOT to engage in any ELECTION CAMPAIGN for any of these people. We have proven we have influence, don’t be used
All of you sampling old music, it’s nice, but I beg you, clear it o.
The old legends have proper lawyers that understand this game guarding their works. Don’t go and get tik tok excited o, you go hear wennnn!
I have spent the last 2yrs explaining to several investors in the financial industry how we can use IP as a collateral. Happy to announce our first product at DMCE to make access to finance easier for African artistes
