🚫Things to leave behind in 2020:

1. Leaving the diaspora and moving to "Gohna🇬🇭" without a plan for earning income, then trying to survive in Gohna by monetizing your new YouTube channel about life in Gohna.

This thing is becoming a ponzi scheme and it must stop⛔
2. Uploading photos of your snowed-in car or 2-bedroom house in Mississauga with the caption, "Still want to come to Canada?"

Just drop your photo, write "I escaped" and go.😐
3. Writing "Sapiosexual" on your Tinder bio.

Facebook. You need Facebook.
4. Headhunting someone and taking them through an entire interview and testing process after reaching out to them yourself, only to hit them with the "We like you but" email.

This one baffled me because I was literally by myself and you came to meet me. What was the reason?🤷🏿‍♂️
5. Using the phrase "Good PM" for any reason whatsoever.

Return to Ìbàràpá from whence you came, foul creature
6. Mentioning the name "Goodluck Jonathan." DUDE.

Let.

It.

Go.
7. Asking $100,000 professionals to do $1,000,000 work for N10,000.

😶
8. Using people's serious Twitter threads to advertise hair extensions and your 14 tons of cassava looking for a buyer.

😒
9. Tackling people publicly, then sending them DMs when they tackle you back publicly.

In the words of a famous Ghanaian philosopher:
10. Informing us that you went "celibate" for x period of time even though absolutely nobody in the history of the world ever asked you.

Apparently "I went celibate for 6 months" is the new "I have the pulling game of a Kia Picanto so I spend 15GB/month on Pornhub".

Once upon a time, there was a neighbourhood which was a popping upper middle class district of Lagos. Till now if you wander round it, you will see abandoned properties with architecture that hints at what it once was.

There was even a Corona School there when I was growing up.
The Ibru family owned vast amounts of prime waterfront real estate there. It was actually too expensive for many of our parents who owned property in VI and Ikeja to invest in at the time. Living there was a status symbol.

But people started violating the urban planning code.
It was near Nigeria's busiest port, so people began selling and leasing out their land to developers who built tank farms, container terminals, warehouses and trailer parks.

Slowly, this neighbourhood turned into a crime-ridden industrial slum with collapsed infrastructure.

Media literacy is an essential 21st century skill like computer and internet literacy.

It's how when someone says this⬇️ and the media reports it as "Xyz Claims That Stealing Is Not Corruption," you'll be savvy enough to actually read what was said and make your own deduction.
Media literacy will immediately tell you that journalists do not intentionally misquote someone so egregiously and uniformly unless someone is coordinating a media campaign.

With media literacy, you'll know that what you're reading is syndicated PR content, not a news story.
It's funny how people will I suit journalists with the "brown envelope" slur all day, but when you point out where brown envelopes were actually handed out to journalists and platforms in return for publishing all sorts of nonsense for 3 and a half years, everyone goes silent🚶🏽‍♂️

Fam, do you have any idea how successfully someone must have bypassed your brain's logical centre to have you parrotting that someone "stole £90 billion"?

That is the same thing as saying that Santa is real. And we had adults with uni degrees swallowing and regurgitating😭
I get PTSD just remembering that period. It was absolute hell. Black was white. Blue was red. Up was down. No type of falsehood was too egregious to not be swallowed.

I had my own brother, a whole medical doctor in another country cheerleading for a coup plotter☹💔💔💔💔💔
If I ever hold legislative power in Nigeria, I would introduce a bill to regulate the PR, Advertising and Marketing industry. 2015 was too much to bear.

It was so bad that some of my colleagues at agencies like Verdant Zeal began believing the bullshit they were putting out.

PR needs to be a regulated activity, especially in the 3rd world. Not every PR agency is the corporate-focused good guy like BHM where I once worked.

Some are on the dark side (Bell Pottinger, RED Media, Africa Media Communications Group etc).

In the wrong hands, PR is DEADLY
PR is what gave Boko Haram their biggest victory ever when @davidaxelrod got a sitting United States first lady to pose in the White House holding up a sign that was basically a huge Boko Haram vanity billboard.

That was political interference on steroids. You had no idea.
PR is what made it possible for the chronically disinterested global media to suddenly care about villagers in Bama and schoolgirls in Chibok.

That entire period was one expensive publicity campaign with one singular political goal.

You thought it was "news." Oh well🤷🏿‍♂️

You see @ProfOsinbajo's sock puppet Twitter accounts with #EndSARS bios praising him and it's funny because this slimy man really thinks he can rewrite history to put himself on our side.

Mr VP, you lost that opportunity when you didn't resign the day after the Lekki massacre.
What history will remember is that you were the Vice President of the regime that turned its guns on unarmed protesters at the most visible urban location in the entire country and shot dozens of them dead.

You are a murderer, Mr Yemi Osinbajo.
Forget what they're telling you. Many of us were at Corona School's 60th gala in 2016 and Atlantic Hall's 30th gala last February and we shook hands with you and smiled.

We used those same hands to sign the petition for the ICC to charge you with crimes against humanity.

I feel like the point still isn't getting across, so I'll let @AntonKreil explain the monumental scam that is retail trading (forex, stocks, crypto, commodities etc).

It's a 2 hour video that will save you your hard earned money and spare you salty tears.
Summary: Brokerage and trading platforms are NOT your friend. They have a clear and explicit interest in helping you to trade as often as possible because they make mo eyes every single time you click "buy" or "sell."

Said platforms EXPECT you to lose all your money.
They operate on a rule known within the industry as 90-90-90: 90% of retail traders lose 90% of their money within 90 days.

Their business model DEPENDS on constantly bringing in new schmucks to lose all their money on the platform.
