I write about careers, personal finance and other things that interests me
Let me do a quick reflection that’s just for me as it can be for anyone who may read this later. Since joining my new company, if there’s one lesson I have learned that determines a lot of your success, it’s the importance of seeking help and feedback early. We work in a fast-paced environment […]
When the crypto market started plummeting earlier this year, I and together with a host of others (I believe) thought that it was just one of those short-term market pullbacks. In fact, I remember vividly how the laser-eyed team of Bitcoin ran pools to ask if people still believe we will see Bitcoin at $100k. […]
A genuine question that frequently bugs my mind is where would we be if everyone believed in the supernatural as a society? I think the answer is not far-fetched. We were once there where you can’t question phenomena that are attributed to the supernatural. And while those times lasted we lived in a subsistence world. […]
Last week, I introduced David Foster Wallace and his ideas to us. Particularly, I promised to share how those ideas can help us have a better career, life and relationship. The overarching idea that came out of the speech was that for a lot of us, we act based on our default thinking state. We do not […]
2 years ago, I looked at my library and new books were nearly non-existent. It has been a while since I bought new books. So I decided I was going to take a large chunk of money to fill my library. I budgeted N100,000. I was on a trip and made a stop in OAU […]

In 2018 when I was seeking my first job post-NYSC, I ended up having job offers for 3 different roles. One was an Investment Banking position, another was a Cybersecurity position which I later changed to Data and Analytics and the last was for a Project Finance position. For the initiated, you will know that […]
I wrote here without any doubt that the future that is possible is that given the right regulatory environment, every organisation that can, will offer their version of Stablecoins. It is not difficult to foresee this outcome. The infrastructure of Stablecoin works is scalable and accessible to a wider audience. Therefore introducing new dynamics to […]
I have been spending an inordinate amount of time reading about the payment and the banking industry. You might have noticed that in what I have been sharing. When Satoshi launched Bitcoin after the financial crisis, he labelled it as a fix for the inefficient system that existed then and persists till today. What I […]
I shared 5 important lessons of the year in the last newsletter. I left one out which I will quickly talk about now. Never self-reject. Never!!! And I am guilty of this just as much as any other person might. But I’ve learnt to take leaps despite my feeling of “not enough”. Let me remind […]
