The older i get the less judgemental I get. Life is complex and right or wrong largely lives on a scale that's personal to each individual. I thus now give people a lot of grace, try to see them for the human they are and meet them where they are at.

I knew this day would come when Buhari will be whitewashed so I stored this video in anticipation. Empathy my foot!

The murderous Nigerian govt has blocked our account because we helped provide healthcare to peaceful #EndSARS protesters whom they brutalized and shot at. This is in gross contravention of all conventions and basic humanity. We will meet this evil evil evil govt in court!

People differ. Please reach out to me if I can ever help. Life is hard and busy. It's difficult to maintain all your relationships. If I can help I will. If I can't I'll tell you. Don't die in silence because we haven't spoken in years.

A guy in his 30s woke up with chest pain. His partner drove him to hospital and on the way there he passed out and was on death's door. Ambulance was called, CPR started. His heart stopped 13 times and was restarted each time. He was saved from his heart attack.

N1 billion is $603k. Congrats to all involved.

The bolt driver that ferried me to church this morning has a bachelor's and master's degree in analytical chemistry. He should not be driving Bolt while IG baddies are driving lambos. We need to urgently arrest this slide in our value system.

At 23 I was finishing up medical school. After intern year, I went on to become a medical resident. One of my interns later on was in his 60s and old enough to be my grandpa. He went to med school aged 57. The only race in life is against yourself.

What I find funny is those threatening to gloat if Obi loses next year. Lol, Na all of us go cry together enter market buy one tomato for N500. Personally sha I go enter plane go my other country. So please laugh well initially cuz tears plenty for your future if Obi no win.

Things I've used to play football - paper - socks - plastic bags - clothes - rocks I could go on. Football will forever remain number one.

I'm specifically saving money to support whoever will be running against Desmond Elliot in the next election cycle. That man must lose his seat by force!

Saw a Governor Amuneke interview where he was asked how he gets inspiration for his skits. His response is that he just watches the news cuz real politicians have far more jokes than him. He just copies them; thus, he has content ideas for years becuase of them!

E don bad so tey I dey RT waspapping.

A pregnant woman dying because her husband couldn't afford N500k should put some context to the conversations we have here. One such context is that women are right to size up the pocket of a man before deciding to settle down with him. Her life is literally at stake.

Someone tweeted at me advising me to tweet less and focus on my business. When will people realize that as a tech CEO, tweeting is central to the job? My tweets have gotten me investors, business partners and key talents. Tweeting is PR and PR is key for biz growth.

Young people these days seem to optimize for a 'soft life' too early in their career. You're in your twenties, just got out of Uni, sorry to break it to you but if you're not doing 15 hour days across work and personal learning, you're not working hard enough.

There's a fascinating conversation to be had around these 2 tweets. Sadly twitter is not setup to allow us explore it in an enlightening way.

Imagine this scenario; someone strong threatens to burn your house and your father hides inside while sending messengers outside to respond. Then some of your fathers friends start complaining that your mother's formers suitors are not responding to the threat.

If you have a heart attack today, the biggest predictor of your survival is where you have it. A Nigerian cardiologist in the U.S had one while visiting Nigeria, he died. An elderly retired grandpa had one while visiting his son in the Uk, he survived. Systems trump everything.

Another illustration of the principle that where you work and what you work on is often more important than how hard you work.

Peter obi is clear. 18 months post election and he's still in the conversation. This has never been the case in the recent past. No way Obi is not getting 10 million votes in 2027. Bet against him at your own peril.

Most Nigerians are tyrants in waiting. Give them a little power and thy will oppress all within sight.

Flying internationally and the lady beside me is flying for the first time. Her giddiness and excitement is so palpable it's infectious. Sometimes we do something remarkable so much we forget how magical it is. 350km/hr in a metal box 30,000 ft in the air is magic!

In Nigeria we make excuses for our inept leaders and praise them for the bare minimum. Time is coming for us to give them feedback on their disastrous performance and many of us still want more suffering and death. Suffer no dey tire you? Come 2023 choose wisely oh.

Listening to a healthcare panel at the World Expo in Dubai and Aproko doctor's work is being used as a reference point for patient education in African healthcare. A king I stan!

If you're African reading this you need to write and publish more. There aren't enough of us Africans publishing things online and offline so please write, write, write. No matter how poor you think your writing is, not writing doesn't help. We need African voices and narratives.

When I see "Covenant university" in a CV for a role I'm hiring for, that's almost always a good enough reason to at least offer them an interview.

Cold irredeemable incompetence and hubris until the very end. Easily the worst president in Nigeria's history.

Chakam 📸 This will come in handy someday.

Na BAT dey mess up but na Obi dey their mouths. You can't make this stuff up 😭

Were they Nigerian? "Delve" not that uncommon a word in formal Nigerian speak.

Competing over price is a race to the bottom. I need air peace to compete on the experience. "Brioche or Nkwobi at 30,000 feet, you choose" "Cheese is not what you eat on our airline, it's what you say when taking pictures while eating our asun"

Obasanjo used to visit states and hold town halls with ordinary people. Market women could ask him questions directly and Baba would respond. Obasanjo was no saint but he cared and knew how to carry us all along. These present folk have a clear disdain for the people.

I have incredible respect for Mr Macaroni. We should all learn to hold public grudges like this with public officials. People are orchestrating our death and we're still shining teeth with them. No way! this is exactly how it should be. Show them the contempt they show you.

I sold pure software for 4 years to Nigerian businesses. One day while at church in Dublin, I met an American guy who worked for a big tech company. He was headed to Nigeria cuz a number of big corporates were owing them for their software and it was proving difficult to collect. It finally dawned on me that day that selling pure software as a startup in Nigeria was a fool's errand. They will never value it and prioritize your invoices. I soon learned that the opportunity was in selling a service to businesses that your software allows you to deliver much more efficiently than the status quo. So the advice I give now is: Don't sell software in Nigeria, most people don't value it. Instead build great software that enables you to power a tangible service that people are willing to pay for. Look at all the successful startups in the country. The value prop of the service is what people buy, not the software that helps deliver it. I made this switch and revenue is up 1,000% in 5 years.

Any healthcare person going to support the protestors with first aid or similar please reach out and @wellahealth will provide you with free supplies in any state in Nigeria. We are in this together. #EndSARS cc @aproko_doctor

As election dey come I say make I remind una. Early on in the pandemic, your reps and govt officials were wearing protective high-filter N95 masks sitting in their offices while doctors in hospitals didn't have access to same masks or gloves to protect their lives.

This thing no hard. Commit your pikin from the UK school wey dey strike come put am for ajeromi public primary school.

As cucumber don enter for stew ingredients I say make I quote this post from 2022. We never see anything yet.

The hospital was more concerned with how they will get paid than saving the man's life. They messed about until the man died. Rich as he was, he died helplessly. All his money couldn't save him. The guy in Europe lived because he had leaders who were accountable to the people.

Arrest people clubbing at night for breaking covid-19 protocol. Have 2 times the number of people crowding NIN offices nationwide in the morning 🤡

I watched Roberto Carlos a fair bit and know that he missed a lot more shots than he scored yet look at this magnificent compilation. Moral of the story is to take more shots cuz nobody will remember the misses only the ones that go in.

Again, men are not women and don't process stimuli the same way. Men are better off engaging in physical activity for instance when overwhelmed. Many women want men to be male versions of women for some reason. They deny and invalidate the male experience. Not a healthy position.

Mary Slessor being erroneously credited for stopping the killing of twins in Calabar goes to show the importance of writing and magnifying your own story. The chiefs of old Calabar who did the work were written out of history despite their efforts on the matter. Tell your story!

It's probably been said but the highest value thing you can do for your kids is to read with them every night!

For someone who struggles to see N20k in a month and has near zero access to good public services, receiving N10k for a 'pointless' thumbprint is a decent deal.

I hope nobody is still under the illusion that Bubu's administration is a democratic one. All this one is a dress rehearsal for 2023 when dem go do indefinite extension due to 'security concerns' to stay in power. Either we fight now or we fight later, we must still fight.

Happy belated delve day 😂

I support this trend. Akwa Ibom oil for Akwa Ibom people go sweet die. Leggo!

Fist and second place at the recently concluded U-20 European athletics championship are "adeleke" running for Ireland and "eze" running for GB respectively.

Went to jabi ShopRite some time ago for puff puff and was shocked to learn that they had discontinued it due to the regular fights it used to cause. Imagine leaving your house to go fight for puff puff in ShopRite! Nigerians are not ok 😅

Was shocked to learn that never taking a loan doesn't automatically mean you have a good credit score. Taking out loans sometimes and paying them back on time even when you don't need them helps when you actually do need a loan.

Peter obi almost always has a real life story of what he's done to improve the lives of real human beings and then finishes off with "go and verify". Obi no be audio oh, go and verify!

Misogyny is a thing sha in Nigeria, can't lie about that. Men should respect women and their accomplishments. That you 'have their type at home' is none of their business. Treat women as the professionals they are in a professional setting.

Will only say this about the Lambo saga. Obi speaks a lot about wealth without enterprise and how it erodes our value system. To see many people defend that lifestyle summarizes where our values are. We need credible entrepreneurs driving lambos not IG baddies in their twenties.

They never paid any heed to Moghalu or to Madam Oby or Madam Kowa party. But you see this Obi movement, these people dey fear true true. That's why a sitting governor will tweet something like this. They're panicking and they don't even know it yet.

My one tip for fathers who want to be better fathers this fathers day is to do the small and mundane things regularly for and with your kids. Shower them, do school runs, read to them. Kids respond to and bond with consistency and not grand gestures.

This was in a European country with excellent facilities. In my dear Nigeria a similar heart attack happened to a friend's dad, first off the ambulance couldn't transport the person in a timely manner. When they got to the hospital, no facilities were available to treat him.

You're young and broke yet are you still in bed after 6am, why? You should be up learning or working.

That I disagree with you doesn't mean I don't like you as a person. We have to dead this idea that not agreeing with someone means you hate them. It's partly why we have all the sycophancy that we do.

When I was a med student in Europe, my bank gave me a €5,000 loan because they knew I'd automatically land into a decent job and pay it back without issues. In NZ, my bank gave me a NZ$12,000 loan to fund travel and other expenses. <1 week after filling a simple form.

Imagine if intro tech evolved to a real intro to digital technology for school kids. It would revolutionize our education system. Who's working and advocating for this to happen?

When Obi said 60% of corruption would be eliminated because he and his family won't be involved, he knew what he was saying. Impunity is cultural and it's set from the top. Obi is the leader we need; he has a respect for authority and a track record of integrity with public 💰

"tinubu will win the election" is a disempowering tactic. They want you to lose hope and not try. Don't give in. There's only so much rigging they can do. If the people overwhelmingly vote against them they will leave with their tail between their legs. We're going again for Obi!

Make dem no gaslight you oh, your elites and leaders believe even less in Nigeria than the average Nigerian does. People that will collect FAAC in Naira and go and buy dollars then invest it in another country. They have refinery in Malta oh! Talk another one abeg!

Cap! Divorced people are more likely to get divorced again; they are, in fact, the ones that skew the divorce statistics. First-time marriages do better than subsequent marriages. Also, people whose parents are divorced are themselves more likely to divorce.

Unpopular opinion: random orphanage visits are bad for the kids and gives them attachment issues. They only stroke our egos and make us look good. If we wanna help, commit to a long term ongoing relationship with the orphanage that spans years.

Apparently criticism of any female centred thing = misogyny. So once we see "women...", we should turn off critical thinking or questioning and accept it all. Hmm, this world you people are trying to build, na still una go complain oh when we arrive there. Continue.

The way Nigerians complain about DSTV, you would think it was an essential service like healthcare. Here's an idea, convert all your DSTV energy to campaigning for better health and education.

First off, we need to explain this confusing idea of left and right. It originated in the French Revolution where those who sat on the left of parliament opposed the monarchy & supported the revolution while those who sat on the right were supportive of the monarchy. 🧵

I see a lot of tech people wrap their whole identity and personality around their work. I've come from medicine where this is the norm and I can tell you for free that it never ends well. Gain interests in other areas, please. Be a more rounded person than just a tech worker.

Na only insult poor man collect but see wetin poor woman collect, death. She better wise up if she know wetin good for am.

About to use, 'I am dismayed' in an email and chuckling that some underliterate American will think it's written by AI. Imagine an American trying to converse with someone like Obahiagbon, it would be cataclysmic 😅

Digging a bit deeper, it turns out that this SUV "gift" is actually lawful. Pastor is just positioning it for PR and to win over political favors. The state Assembly passed a law that entitles these ex-deputy governors to an SUV every 4 years. This is on top of their benefits which includes a lifetime pension equivalent to their salary while in office. 300% of this as furniture allowance every 4 years. Entertainment allowance equivalent to their annual salary. A house in Abuja or uyo and many more. The benefits are so juicy that Akwa ibom spends over 10% of its IGR funding it. You see what they want us to pay more tax to fund. We no go gree oh!

Your whole branch of Christianity exists because someone like Martin Luther in 1517, nailed his 95 theses on the wall of a church, arguing against the excesses of clergy at the time. Clergy are fallible and are not God that they should not be questioned.

Massive congrats! Permit me (to fork this) to share a few thoughts on (new) fatherhood. Might help dads out there. Your testosterone drops to enable you to become more emotional and bond with your kid. The change also means you have an increased risk of depression.

In my first few months as a doctor, a man in his 40s was admitted after consuming a bottle of vodka. I was called to see him and within 15 minutes of me arriving he went from talking to me to ICU to dead. He died from alcoholic hepatitis. Please respect alcohol, it's dangerous!

I grew up playing street football in naija. It wasn't until I played a well organized amateur league in NZ that I actually learned the game. I got coached twice a week and understood all the rubbish I'd been doing before. We need great football org and coaching at the grassroots.

Just finished watching the nearly 3 hour Peter obi interview on the honest bunch podcast. WHAT A MAN! He's an inspirational example in so many ways. He's also an aberration. A Nigerian billionaire that's simple, humble and respects all people regardless of class or age. This is rare as hen's teeth. A story that struck me was of a JSS1 girl who called him, a sitting governor, a liar in a public forum. Everyone rushed to hush the girl but he let her speak. The girl was correct. Obi had promised her school hall would be fixed and it wasn't done. That day Obi's team rallied to get the cheque for it to be done. Similarly, a pensioner tackled him at church saying God would not answer his prayers cuz he was owing her pension. He insisted on visiting her home and saw first hand the poverty owed pensioners live in. He proceeded to pay out all owed pensions and gratuities. Leaders in Nigeria are often shielded by spokespersons and layers of handlers that they never ever see the problems and how their policies and actions are affecting people. Obi is the type of leader who knows and feels the pulse himself. This is exactly what we need. Also, Obi understands that our growth as a country lies behind investments in education, health and promoting enterprise. He's built several enterprises himself successfully and has supported so many health and education institutions as a philanthropist and a governor. The aberration that is Nigeria needs a similar aberration in Obi to help us reset course towards greatness. We must elect this man oh! I'll do my best to ensure it happens.

"If they explain Nigeria to you and you understand it they didn't explain it well enough"

Seeing a lot of UX. messaging and design missteps from @Official_LPN and other Obidients. Will put together a tech team of designers and researchers to do the UX/ marketing research to inform the campaign. This is my own small contribution.

"Obi's depleting popularity" Lol! Make una no fall for this clear propaganda oh. There are less than 10 people who have ever gotten over 6 million votes in a presidential election since 1999, Obi is one of them and he did it without a party structure. Since that election, obi has had more questions asked of him than tinubu, has made more public appearances alongside the average person and has given 10s of millions to schools and healthcare projects. Obi went to unity cup in London and they had to instruct people not to recognize him. Omo if na me I go fear obi too na begin dey spread propaganda. Obi is putting in the work, 2027 election will be over by 2pm in favor of him as long as we turn out en masse and press INECs neck to curtail rigging.

Don't know whether it's cuz we're exposed to big numbers regularly on the internet but $1 million is really hard to make in real life. Especially if you're in Nigeria. Please let's keep our feet on the ground when discussing money. $1 million is life changing money, respect it.

Non-doctors can never fathom what it is like to work as a doctor, there's almost no point trying to even explain. If you do a 9 to 5 you can't understand going to work on Saturday morning and not leaving until Monday night, 60 hours in total, a regular occurrence in medicine.

Spent the last few weeks travelling across four cities in Nigeria and gosh was it depressing! The soul of the country is gone! The streets are lifeless, people are defeated, we have retrogressed. APC is a cancer consuming us, they need to go.

Looks like I may have to pick up the stethoscope again to help battle this Covid-19 outbreak. Can't see my buddies in the struggle in the trenches and not join in. I encourage all non-clinical docs to get in shape to get in the trenches. All hands needed on deck.

Peter Obi's politics is one of ideas and aspirations, not patronage. His political proteges are the people his ideas and principles are influencing to believe that Nigeria can work and things can be done differently. Abi you think, "we no dey give shishi" no be influence? Obi's politics returns power to the people and away from godfathers. Look at what is happening in Abia state, where the governor is constrained to please the people and show workings. Unlike his predecessors who were sharing the state's coffers with their political benefactors. Yes Obi is a "one man business" and that's what we need, all men and women to have princiciples, stick to them singularly and believe that things can be better through our individual hard work. Obi is not perfect, nobody is, but the idea that he needs to return to the politics of old to make progress is fallacious. He belives a new Nigeria is POssible and many of us agree with him. We're solidly behind you @PeterObi. When you finally declare, that 6 million you got in 2023 will be child's play! 2027 will shock them!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANY COVID-19 VACCINES IN NIGERIA. IT IS NOT SAFE. YOU CANNOT TRUST IT. WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO I WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO ANNOUNCE IT.

All 3 frontrunners for Nigeria's presidency are wealthy men. Of all of them, only one of them has wealth that increases when the average person in the street has more money in their pocket. Guess who that is? Yes, it's the trader. Choose who makes money when you make money.

Women carried the chibok girls matter on their head with BBOG. Nothing stops us men from doing BBOB for kaduna boys. If you're going to call a foul at least wait till you enter and play the 'game'.

I get this on an individual level but for society to progress, it needs all of us operating at our respective peak abilities. A first class physics graduates peak abilities from society's perspective is unlikely to be tailoring. If he fills a tailoring gap, who fills his gap in physics? Not many can. When we speak of low productivity in Nigeria, this is one of the problems. Our human capital is poorly optimized, talent terribly allocated. The optimum path here is a physics PhD and a rewarding career in industry and or academia. If he was to end up in tailoring with his cognitive abilities it should be via invention that increases tailoring output for the same input, growing productivity in the process. More economic value created. Dead weight jobs in tailoring is not what a first class physics grad should be doing.

Tinubu lost Lagos to Obi. In 2027 14 year olds from 2023 will be eligible to vote. Obi is literally the only credible person offering any sort of alternative to the status quo. Let all the governors move to APC, even better, we vote them all out en masse! Election over by 2pm. 💪

Once read a thread of an American software engineer who outsourced all the chores in his life and ended up depressed. The friction in life is often what gives it meaning. Don't paradoxically soft life your way into listlessness. Cook, clean and organize and teach your kids same.

Tinubu's manifesto is essentially, 'na my turn". Wahala for Nigerians wey dey find good governance.

I've come to learn that choices in life are often not between good or bad but between two good options. Any choice you make is thus the right choice. The trick is to do the work required and to never look back or regret the choice you made. Our attitude fulfills our choice.

It's scary the amount of reading and learning one has to do as a startup CEO.

The bolt driver I just took came from badagry to drop off someone in lekki. He's heading back now hoping he gets rides that make it worthwhile. He's on the verge of selling his car because bolt pays less than it used to. Why sell? His twins are in 300 level and he needs to fund their stay in university. One called him last night to say they've only been existing on garri. I asked him what will he do when he sells his car. He says hopefully university is paid for and that God will provide in the future and bless his hustle but at least he's done his part to train his children. His story is the story of the average Nigerian man. Hustle day in day out to provide for his family.

I think many Obi haters have (reluctantly) realized that Obi won (the popular vote) and so they're doing opposition to the people's president cuz this obsession with a private citizen in the midst of multiple crises caused by APC don turn winch something. Abeg face BAT leave Obi.

When I posted the quoted tweet about Covenant university four years ago, you people were after my life. Glad to finally see something empiric from a company that's provided recruitment testing for over 200k graduates. Covenant is clear. Will tweet more from the report soon.

When I lived in NZ, I visited a family one evening. On my way out they asked if I'd like 'tea'. 'sure, why not'. They proceeded to lay a 3 course meal in front of me. Turns out that in new Zealand, 'tea' is the biggest meal of the day.
