DON’T LET GREED MAKE YOU PRICE LIKE YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND! LEARN THIS HACK, AND YOU’D NEVER BE PRICED LOW AGAIN (5 mins read). Last year, by providence, I landed everyone’s dream client, one that would ask you to work from wherever you are, and just be you. He just wanted results, he didn’t want to interfere with my processes. And, he has deep pockets. I mean the type that could buy food, and pay the waiter times four of the price of the food just because he could. When I announced it to a couple of my colleagues, they said to me, “Make sure you make money o!” In Nigerian terms, it meant, “make sure you milk that large cow dry!” I chuckled, and I began to ask the question I think many creatives or freelancers or small business owners don’t ask enough: WHAT WILL I OFFER THIS CLIENT THAT WILL MAKE THEM PAY PREMIUM? And this question, ladies and gentlemen is the reason why you are a graphic designer, but they price you like you are selling corn. Or you are a copywriter, and...

Elon Musk's Neuralink, Metaverse, and The Matrix. (10 minutes read). I was on YouTube recently, just scrolling through the app when my attention was drawn to a YouTube video that had Elon Musk in it. He was talking about something that we only had in our imaginations growing up. He was talking about inputting a chip into our brains that will allow us to communicate with tech around us. Not just that, it can restore lost body functions, and even make it slightly better According to Elon. It is said that the chip will be implanted into its first human this year. The chip was first tested in pigs and monkeys. The last monkey test had the monkey play Mindpong only by thinking. I think he was with Joe Rogan in that video. ( Here is the link if you want to see the interview). Now this caught my attention, because what Elon is trying to do is to take a computer, insert it inside us, and have that computer augment the effort of our brains. I mean, the things he said this chip can ...

“The world only honors men it cannot conquer”— Johnson Abbaly. Childhood had the spark of life, it was the birthing ground of passion and full of bursts of enthusiasm that made us wonder at life. We yearned each day in our minds to see our dreams come to a realization. With each toy story we forged, the future we hoped to live was designed in our hearts. Childhood was that moment when we weren’t really scared to be us. We lived life with every cynicism out of the window wan ran into the meadows with joy to live life like never before. This pristine ingenuity is the spark that generates world-class ideas. The ability to be childlike in thinking, but not childish in execution. That strength we have to dream far and wide, to numb the threats of failure and forge ahead notwithstanding. That is the fuel of creativity, the fuel of the originals. But we have lost this childlike passion for embracing the mundane as the norm. To us, heroism is just a myth and to sit on th...

Our memories would fail us to remember — pictured perfectly — our lives as they pass before our eyes. I am sure you want to run down memory lane and see how beautiful your childhood was. When you do not feel loved, you want to steal from those experiences of the past and maybe giggle as you did that night your dad threw you in the air and all your problems fizzled into the atmosphere and you landed into his arms. Those arms saying "hey, I gat you". If you've ever lost a loved one, the only thing you would have left are memories. Those are the things that consistently remind us of them. Just like in the Disney Animation "COCO", when no one remembers you in the real world, you fade away in the spirit world. Even if it's fiction, it sends a strong message. The only thing they could use to remember the spirits on earth were their achievements, the moments they spent with them, the experiences that came out of them and PHOTOGRAPHS. This ...
THE ZERO THEORY

Nothing is valueless; it is first in our perception. We view items as we perceive them to be. The number zero has been given no value in society, even the grandest of scholars sees this oval wonder as ‘Nothingness’; but what if zero was not added to one would we ever have ten? Or to nine, would we ever have ninety? It means zero itself has value, although hidden, its value elevates the single to a platform of relevance. The more we add zero, the more we add value to whatsoever it is attached to. Like latent heat, its influence might not be seen, but it boils and evaporates water. That influence that can change a state from one level to another—from one form to another. I’d like to think of when God called out from nothing, the earth there was nothing but that nothing had potential to birth what we see today. He did not create the fishes as you may think; he just called it out from the water. All this while, who knew H 2 O had in it capacity for fishes; what about the air...

Have you ever tried to talk with a person online and you say something but they perceive it as another thing? Case of caring gone wrong? I remember telling one cold girl (opposite of hot is cold), that I loved her and she took it personal and was ranting on how boys lead girls on that they do not want to spend the rest of their lives with bla, bla, bla…yen, yen, yen… in my church mind, I was just spraying the love of Christ like a Gucci perfume all over her Dm not knowing she thought I was shooting shot. I also remember talking to a superior and he said something and I replied “Okay sir”. He felt I was insulting him and wasn’t paying attention. Why do these things happen? They happen because communication has certain elements that make it concrete; things like tone, body language and gestures, method of delivery and choice of words. All these are important fragments that engage the five senses of your audience and help them understand completely what is being said. Before l...

This would be really short and blunt; I guess? Well, you know that scenario when you think the brother likes you and you are catching feelings that no one is throwing? You have turned to Courtios.😒 Or you are that brother that when you come around ladies, all of them would start acting weird, all of them would begin to catch feelings like someone released a pheromone bomb and it’s making all of them come on!🔥 The truth is that it is normal for two people of opposite sex (or in some very cold climate, same sex😌) to be attracted to themselves. It is very normal. Now that we have movements for everything, let me say this; guys and girls who don’t feel any sexual drive for anyone; you guys are normal too; right? Everything is normal…okay. Moving on, you are that Ronaldo kinda guy and you are that Courtios (Real Madrid’s new keeper that left Chelsea) kinda girl and you want to really figure out what is going on? Well, I have a list of compiled reasons, they are thi...
