I wrote one time about how my housekeeper insisted I continue to pay her salary into her husband’s account. When I refused, he gave her a black eye.

So I split her salary in half, told her husband she’s lazy and I can’t continue to pay full salary for someone who’s lazy.
I opened another account in my name, paid the remaining half of her salary and extra into the account and gave her the debit card to the account to do as she pleases.

We did it that way until I was able to convince her to open her own bank account last December.
Her husband just got off the phone with me.

Husband: Goomorning ma. I been say make I greet you happy new year o. May God bless you for everything you’re doing for us.

Me: Amen

Husband: Na my wife o. She say you never pay her December salary. We even borrow money go village...
Husband:... last December. The person wey we borrow money from don dey hold my trouser. Abeg ma.

Me: May God help us my brother. This Nigeria as e dey go, make God just help us. But [HK] tell me say you don get new job now wey they pay well. Please manage until I sort her out.
Husband: [Annoying Laugh] Ah. Okay ma, we will manage. I just say make I ask you. God will provide for you ma.

Me: Amen.

[End call]

I call my House Keeper immediately.

Me: Madam your husband just call o. E say...

HK: (Cuts in) Aunty no mind am! No mind am! My mumu don do...
HK: all the money wey hin dey get fit feed us well but he go use all drink come carry woman on top the matter. He collect November salary, carry 20k give my neighbour sister, that one na in gehfren now. 20k wey we for use for house. Abeg wetin you tell am?

End call.

Last month, I made a decision on a proposal that was brought before me. It was enticing and looked like it would work. Even the numbers, market survey, research, they all made sense.

Still, I declined to get involved because it just didn't "FEEL" right.

#Thread
Other smart investors I knew personally were involved, so this should have given me some consolation but it didn’t. My instinct was aggressively against investing so I declined and left the meeting.

I was worried if I stayed longer, the numbers would entice me.
I am a deeply emotional being. I feed off people’s energy and my intuition. This makes me ask first, "how do you feel about this?" Instead of "what do you think about this?"

I see the sadness in people's eyes when others see a bubbly persona. I hear emotions, not words.

I once worked for someone who was a bad business man but taught me a great lesson.

The first time he barked at me, it was because I was in his office and didn’t know if I should sit or stand. He said, “Ife, sit.”
“Oh. Sorry.” I said and proceeded to pull out a chair.

#thread
His tone went from neutral to angry in milo seconds.

“Why did you say sorry? Sorry for what exactly?”

I was confused,I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong but I also knew I had to respond.

“Sorry for standing sir,” I responded.

“Did I say I was offended?” He demanded to know.
“No sir” My heart was pounding. It was my first month at work and I thought I was already impressing the bosses.

“Stop saying sorry when you haven’t done anything wrong.” He said dismissively, his anger abated

That day, I didn’t understand him and assumed he was on drugs.

Hello Ife, thank you for all that you do. Your consistency over the past years have drawn me closer to you that’s why I feel comfortable sharing this.

I’m divorced but I have no regrets because I tried my best and tried to correct my mistakes.

The pressure on men to be the strong ones in a marriage when things aren’t going well is hefty. I tried to rebel against it but I was called weak, I tried to ignore my emotions and be strong for the family but I was called heartless.

My ex wife and I married as best friends.
The love was super and we were connected in our souls. We knew it because we couldn’t go a day without catching up at night and we knew every single detail about each other. Proposing to her was sure from day one. But life happened to us and our problems started.

"SIM swap" attacks have been in the news for years. They’ve enabled serious financial crimes and even a hack of the Twitter CEO's account. We spent 6 months researching how vulnerable wireless accounts are to these attacks. Our draft study is out today. issms2fasecure.com
SIM swap attacks are low-tech but devastating: the attacker calls your carrier, pretends to be you, and asks to transfer service to a new SIM—one that the attacker controls. That’s bad enough, but hundreds of websites use SMS for 2-factor auth, putting your accounts at risk.
This study needed a mix of creativity, grunt work, and knowledge of the industry. All credit to @PrincetonCITP PhD students @kvn_l33 and @bkaiser93, as well as my faculty colleague @jonathanmayer (who previously worked at the @FCC on wireless carrier security).

1. Not all of us can be celebrities like Wizkid and Davido. Blacks are targeted in the US because of drugs but whites get off easily because of white privilege. Just yesterday a black guy was hurled in because he was eating a burger on the street; eating while black. Cops were
2. called on a black guy sitting in front of an apartment building and the cops came tried picking him up because they assumed he was so black to be able to afford living in that side of town. I have had to intervene in cases where people were arrested simply because they had
3. dreadlocks, tattoos, carry laptops, use phones the cops can't buy etc.. Go to area F Ikeja and go see for yourself the number of young guys who were picked up for frivolous charges. Do you know how much was extorted during the weekend from club goers simply because they are

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
