Perhaps choleric Christian leaders will learn this someday - God is in love with people not projects. Hearts not works.
You will know you're drifting, when it's easy to move on from people who've dropped off your projects. Like they are nothing; no longer relevant. You will know when your achievements for God leave a trail of broken and bruised people in its wake.
Go back to the core. Return to what matters. People.

Let me help you decode the Nigerian spirit of entitlement. The Nigerian economy and the culture is built on a few people becoming rich - elders, the connected, the lucky, the corrupt and celebrities.
Nigeria is not designed for an equitable chance at wealth. Hard work is no longer fairly rewarded, so people are tired of taking their chances. Religion has endorsed the sudden "hammering" syndrome. Social media has promoted the "scandal-to-riches" way.
So when people become rich, that wealth is viewed by others as "commonwealth". You were "blessed" to bless others. So, how dare you not help others? How dare you not help me, even if you don't know me?

In 2016, the management of the global music video behemoth, MTV, made an interesting statement: “In the last 5years, our 18-35 year old audience has shrunk by 50?!” Where did their audience go? The answer is YouTube (and other digital sources of music videos).
While MTV reaches 387 million homes globally, YouTube is used by over 1 billion people. Today, YouTube reaches more 18-35 year olds than any TV Network. Most views come from mobile devices.
The Internet (primarily social media networks) has become the primary channel through which the youth demography may be reached. Therefore, it is important for churches to learn how to use it to spread the Gospel and to minister to them.

Nigeria's educational problem is a 20 year challenge. Even if you revamp the sector now, it will take 20 years to start producing the first HR products.
So, one of the things hitting our burgeoning start-up ecosystem is the mad scramble for management talent as the companies start to really grow.
The industries producing top management - multinationals & consulting - are really good at retaining their staff. Start ups can rarely afford them even with stock options. It's also expensive to grow internal talent that can leave at any time. You need to build redundancy.

The best managers in the world have an incredible capacity for tedium. Process is simply repeating the same thing day in, day out without missing a step. You get bored and tired but still deliver every time.
The reason why people give up on managment and process; the reason systems break down asides from corruption, is that after stuff stops being sexy and novel, people start to take their eyes off the ball.
Real management is what Project Managers call "Management by Exception". You don't micromanage people. Rather you you get them to codify their deliverables into tasks and calendars. You only step in, if there's a threat to a deadline or a red flag.

Some of you don't know that I used to be a "jimjim" Christian. I prayed for two hours everyday and would dry fast till sores formed in my mouth. I even went through a phase of covering my hair. 🧵
Sleep didn't come easy because I would eat infrequently. My mother pleaded with me to eat. I would pray in the toilet, because when you live with seven other people, there are limitations of privacy.
One day, I just stopped. I think there's something in me that's programmed against suffering. Anyway I'd had enough of being afraid of God. I didn't want a "God" anymore. I wanted a friend. A person. I desired a relationship and wasn't looking forward to a lifetime of asceticism.

#SundayService 🧵

Stupidity will never be sexy. But intellect is now rarer than I used to give humanity credit for. Excellence even more so.
It never ceases to amaze me how there can be money available for projects but what will frustrate, is finding humans capable of executing. If people were really good at what they did, I doubt they would be so difficult to find. Quiet or hidden excellence has no economic value.
The Internet was supposed to be the game changer. it was meant to make talent sourcing easier. Rather, it has given pretenders and liars megaphones. It has enthroned rebellion and a shocking twisting of values.
