In summary, please vote for Peter Obi. I made an analysis criticizing BAT on my Instagram: @mr_possidez. I’ll do well to save it in a highlight.

Sometimes, you think you're writing a book. But you're only writing a chapter. Maybe only writing a page. Maybe only writing a sentence. Maybe you're only writing a word.
And that word is probably even a monosyllabic word. Like love. But you write it so well. You write it in red, you make it as beautiful as possible.
In making it beautiful, everyday, you think about it everyday. You see the word as different things and you express these things. In more words, with more words.
I had to respond to this commentary I saw on LinkedIn. The observation is not only incomplete, the analogy is unnecessary and doesn’t even fit into Nigeria’s situation. You can read my response in the thread below:
It’s interesting that ancient Greeks despised men having huge penises. They believed that a huge penis signalled a lack of sexual restraint in men. This sculpture—David—by Italian Michelangelo is Greek-inspired.
Large penises were discouraged in Greek artistic depictions. Little penises symbolized virtue & restraint. Greek sculptures with huge penises were often to mock their enemies (like the Egyptians) and Satyrs whom they because they believed were animalistic and immoderate.
Beauty, for Greeks, was constituted by three elements: symmetry, proportion and moderation. Aristophanes, the Greek writer described the Greek male ideal as one possessing a “gleaming chest, bright skin, broad shoulders, strong buttocks, and a little penis”.
Boys need and deserve better role models. Not these false prophets who think life is all about knowing which babe is a good wife and which babe is for the streets. Being a high value man is a more dynamic complex than all that half-assed crap.
Whomever you settle with is very important but the main focus FOR young adults should be self-improvement. Reading books. Outgrowing prejudices, improving your worldview, developing discipline, mastering a craft, building your physical and emotional stalwartness.
This spiel of consuming endless messages about the shenanigans of bad women vs. good women without investing in the other stuff is just a recipe for catastrophe. You cannot give what you do not have.
The sheer amount of networking events and seminars at Harvard law on a weekly basis. This week Buffet, next week Zuckerberg. Grateful I learnt how to strike small talks early on in life. Knowing how to speak with people is such an important skill.
Some tips:
1. Prioritize phone calls over texts (comfortable but helpful).
2. Watch a lot of well-scripted movies. Google has a decent list.
3. Deliberately choose to speak and type in appropriate language. Inconvenient but helpful.
4. Speak in open spaces, even when your stomach turns. Helps build confidence and that’s necessary to being a great speaker.
5. If you don’t have great ideas on how to take conversations further, ask the person a lot of random questions and take it from there.
