I really do believe there’s a special force that lingers in the crowd. Whatever that force might be, it becomes more good or more evil, riding on the most popular conviction.
Everyone has some circles in their lives that they should complete. Some pre-determined, some created from key incidents. Completing these circles will edge you towards a feeling of fulfilment. Failing to create a crucial circle will leave you feeling unaccomplished or unhappy.
If you have a “house boy” or a “house girl” who’s 18 years old or younger and you do not enroll them in school, you’re a slave owner.
Or even if you do but you beat them, you’re still a slave owner.
OR if your kids go to a better school than theirs, you’re a slave owner!

Has the pastor been arrested? Is the pastor’s name & church publicised? The poor lady needs to have someone stand up for her.

Were the first generation of parents navigating the world with AI. There’s a big margin for error.

Closed the term with 15% profit margin, 4% outstanding receivables, 98% positive feedback from the parents. The school never had profit before and was chronically in debt, always borrowing from the future term. For the first time, we enter a new term cash flow positive.
Major looming issue - to grow, we need new classes. To get new classes, we need new buildings. New buildings are very, very expensive. We need to add about 15 new classes over the next couple of years. If we do debt, we need to deal with the high interest rate problem. If we save to build, our growth is very slow. Equity is too expensive and not necessary.
My Dad made me chairman of the board in his school as he retired. I looked into the finances - boarding house was making a loss, day school was fine but teacher grossly underpaid.
I increased teachers pay, increased school fees a bit, increased boarding fees quite a bit. This would normally lead to a drop in population of the school by about 20% to 30%. People don't like increments.
First thing I did was an extensive renovation across the entire school - sinking in money to fix all parts of it at high speed (took less than 4 weeks).
I turned on Meta ads for the school with heavy spend, and started advertising in nearby towns - Port Harcourt, Aba, Uyo.
We still have 15 days before the term starts but we have already increased school population by 100 new kids, even with the new fees.
There is a lot more to do, but the takeaway for me is this - if you have something with physical infrastructure, run ads.
It’s one thing to know a lot about a lot of things, it’s another level of awareness to not be a douche about it.

The reason the Nigerian culture is big on “taking care of your parents in their old age” is because they have no pension plan and there is no social security.

Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty.
Since 2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and regions.
The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians.
Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.
Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.
Our administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.

PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
