I had no business being in America. I was a street hawker in Badagry from a relatively poor family.
Without that lottery win, I’ll probably still be roaming Badagry, Okoko, and Ojo as a hawker. I commend those who succeed in Nigeria, in America success is a bit easier.

I don’t talk about my progression enough.
From a cleaner who cleans up vomits on the staircase, and pickup trash in the parking lot in freezing temperatures whilst earning $8.25/hr to a senior role at a fortune 50 company on a six figure pay in less than 4 years.
That’s mad.

She’d insert “Jesus” in everything.
If I told her I drove home, she’d say no, Jesus did.
I passed a cert, no, Jesus did.
She’d send me prayers at 5 am in the morning to recite.
I swear she made me hate Jesus for like a month, cos I thought he was stealing my shine.

Most people don’t understand the economics of discipline.
Poor people have very little room for accommodating risk, and an ill-disciplined kid is one of those risks.
There’s a reason why beating kids is predominantly in developing countries.

All that “take away their PS5” and “sit down and talk to them” are great options, but they’re only available to people within a specific economic spectrum.
All that shit you see on social media/movies on disciplining kids doesn’t apply to some random poor bloke in Badagry.

A little backstory on my job as a cleaner.
I started working at an off-campus student housing at the University of MD back in 2014. I chose to be a cleaner because it was one of the few opportunities where I could get a 40-hr (full-time) a week job.

Poor parents have fewer resources and experience more barriers to keeping their children safe.
So yes, it does almost seem like a necessity.
Also, “physical beatings” is a blanket term, are talking about a slap or a full blown attack, these are two separate things.

It actually think tribalism is a byproduct of lack of cognitive fluency. When people are incapable of processing complex information, they choose the “next best thing (easy).”
Igbo vs Yoruba is a lot less complex than economics, it requires less cognitive fluency.

Whatever your status is in life, don’t think you’re too insignificant to network with certain people.

Or find a balance between contributing to the company's goals and taking care of your own needs and career development - I believe this is the right mentality for achieving job satisfaction and personal growth.
Let’s pause this “you vs them” mentality.

This is called the “accumulative advantage or disadvantage”.
The reason why if Bill Gates or Steve Jobs were both born in Nigeria, there would be no Microsoft or Apple today.
Being born in the system puts you in a massive deficit by default.

Your biggest challenge when it comes to career advancement is not other people, it's your personal brand.
You're never going to be a "senior" anything if people can’t imagine you in a more senior role because they’re used to thinking of you in a certain way.
