A world that punishes the merciful will eventually teach its kindest people how to become dangerous.

After 5 years of building @AltSchoolAfrica with @AdewaleYusuf_ and @opeawo, today I’m officially stepping down as CTO and moving into the CEO role.
The goal is to provide global education to Africans at an affordable cost. Instead of going to the UK and spending £30,000 to get a degree, you can attend the same university through AltSchool for less than £15,000.
Same school, same lecturers, same BSc.
Equal value. Equal access. Local pricing.
I’m officially launching our degree programmes on degree.altschoolafrica.com, and over the next few months, you’ll see more global universities join the AltSchool network.
Welcome to the edX of Africa.

Your job is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. Don’t box yourself into roles. Don’t identify with your job. Nobody cares if you’re a software/ai/cloud/anything engineer, your knowledge might be obsolete in a few months and you could get laid off next year, who knows.
Build multiple income sources. Skill up. Try to escape the rat race. Play the system. Cheat. Commit fraud. Lie on your resume. Whatever. You’re not winning this game by staying a good, obedient employee.

i started experiencing inner peace when i realised that the work never ends, in every aspect of life. There’s no amount of work you do today that exempts you from the work due tomorrow.
So do your best, but also remember to pace yourself.

The tragedy of being born in a third-world country is that you are expected to compete globally while living in an environment that makes the most basic things unnecessarily difficult.

There is something deeply unfair about having to be exceptionally talented, disciplined, resourceful, and hardworking just to achieve what an average person in a functional society can achieve with relative ease.

Life is a numbers game. Increase your attempts, improve your odds, and stop treating every failure like a final verdict.

Only First Class and Second Class Upper graduates should qualify to become teachers. Teachers’ starting salaries should be a minimum of ₦500,000 per month.
Teachers should be required to take professional qualification examinations every two years.
There should be an Education Bank where teachers can access very low-interest loans for car financing, home financing and other essential needs.
Teaching should be one of the most prestigious and highly respected professions in the country.
