For the record, I have no regrets about any of my choices. I don't regret choosing this career, no matter how much it has cost me. I don't regret choosing Ghana as my safe haven despite having immediate access to the whole world. I don't regret living on my feet instead of existing on my knees. I made every choice I made because it is exactly what I wanted to do, not what someone else wanted or advised me to do. If I die today, I'll be very satisfied with the life I've had. My nightmare is that I will someday lie on my deathbed and realise that I saw nothing, did nothing, changed nothing, experienced nothing and generally had a nothing life. People like me have already seen and had the best of everything the world has to offer - we were born into the best of it and we deliberately chose to chart a different path for ourselves because that's what bored, rebellious rich kids do. If they don't change the world, who will? Modupe in Ikorodu? The people like the short fellow who spent years impersonating a lawyer and leveraging his relationship with Aliyu Gebi to gather the social and economic capital to escape the poverty he was born into in Ojota and move his family to Milton Keynes, could never hope to understand what fuels people like me - we are outside their entire available scope of reference. The biggest tragedy that poverty has inflicted on such people is that it has robbed them of their imagination. They cannot conceive of the possibility that in Nigeria, other kinds of people different to them exist - people who exist at the 4th and 5th layers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs instead of the 1st and 2nd layers. That absence of imagination is what leads an otherwise educated person to suggest that a successful, British-educated 33 year-old professional with easy access to the world who comes from a family with its own crest, registered corporation and Annual General Meeting, does what he does because he is "looking for asylum". One can only hope the innocent kids growing up in Milton Keynes will at least have more of an imagination than their hapless parents whose minds are still trapped in the Face-Me-I-Face-You on Olatunji Street, Ojota.

@Echecrates I literally have to keep a spare preregistered sim card for fam and friends who come to visit

Are Mushin boys wicked for collecting your iPhone by 12am and should they be punished? Yes. Are you unwise for strolling around Mushin by 12am with your iPhone? Yes. Do both trains of thought contradict each other? No. *This tweet is not about Mushin boys or iPhones*

Marriage is an act of faith. It is more about the unknown than the known. That is why you pledge fidelity to each other. “For better or worse” aren't just meaningless words people typically say. It is a commitment to uncertainty. You are jumping into the deep end together.

Ugly Psychology truths no one wants to admit. I worked for many years as a licensed psychotherapist, and these are some of the harshest realities that people refuse to talk about. Let’s get in some trouble. 1 retweet = 1 harsh truth, so keep the chain going.

My Dad left Nigeria🇳🇬 in his late teens to be educated in the West🇬🇧 After completing his bachelors and Masters in the UK🇬🇧, he created multiple business in the West 🇺🇸🇬🇧and generated more wealth than he could have ever imagined. Dad brought all his talents and expertise back to Nigeria🇳🇬 with the hopes of creating a World Trade Center/African Wall Street. When I was born in Nigeria🇳🇬 I was surrounded by wealth, servants, opulence and two loving parents who despite having it all, modeled the importance hard work, never being a victim and never being satisfied with mediocrity. In 1987 the Nigerian government🇳🇬 illegally and corruptly stole all of my dad’s assets, including his man made island that’s now worth billions and was renamed to Banana Island. While fighting the Nigerian government🇳🇬 in court, he mysteriously died weeks later. We went from rich to poor over night. Mom brought my brother and me to America🇺🇸 It wasn’t easy, as we literally started from the bottom in the Bronx🙅🏾 My brother and I applied what our parents instilled in us at an early age, and despite the plethora of mistakes I made, we both became very successful. Without the opportunities America🇺🇸 has afforded my family, I’d be nothing. Yeah, America🇺🇸 isn’t perfect. We have our issues, just like every other country on the planet, but America🇺🇸 is one of the handful of places in the world where you can start with nothing, put in the work, and end up at the top. I love this country🇺🇸, and I’m not ashamed to say it. And the moment I feel otherwise, I’m gonna pack my stuff up, teach my kids a new language and seek life elsewhere. With that said, #HappyIndependenceDay 🇺🇸 #4thofjuly

Ghana went through a phase. From the depths of corruption to sanitization. Older people who are wealthy today learned to be humble. Nigeria is younger and hasn’t gone through that phase yet. Those we thought had sanitized turned out to be eventually worse than those they removed.

As the days go by, I understand why people in healthcare marry themselves, it’s not just for economic reasons but because they don’t have to say a lot for their partners to understand what they go through

WHY WARD ROUNDS ARE CALLED ‘ROUNDS’? Ward rounds were the brainchild of Sir William Osler, the legendary first physician-in-chief, Johns Hopkins’ Hospital, who believed that the patient was the source of medical knowledge.

People who have accepted election rigging, voter suppression, & violence as a norm in Nigeria’s democracy think of themselves as logical and politically sophisticated ones. The younger ones who have refused to accept this abnormality are looked at as unserious and naive. Shame.

I'm still trying to figure out how Skype blew its 8-year lead and lost to Zoom during the pandemic.

AI in medicine has arrived. Draft a differential diagnosis with Glass AI.

LMAO! One sure thing that Labor Party and Peter OBI have that neither APC, nor PDP have is that, Perter OBI is an ARMY of TECH savvy volunteers working for FREE, determined to take Nigeria back. At home and in diaspora, they are deploying their tech skills to unmask CLOWNS!

Peter obi is not Goodluck Jonathan that you people destroyed with propaganda. It’s not happening under our watch. Bring your agenda, we will drown it with the truth.

Reading some audited accounts this morning before a board meeting and just randomly thought of AI replacing auditors. What is wrong with us? Everything is now about AI reducing headcount. The unemployment coming in future will be epic! After productivity gains, who will buy?

The strategy is so obvious though. Announce BAT as the winner through whatever wuruwuru means...if they protest, unleash army. If they go to court, be there waiting. Also banking on the long suffering nature of Nigerians that everyone will move on & accept fate eventually.
