@elonmusk In reality it's millions of repeat offenders. Crime is concentrated among chronic criminals, true , but don't pretend it's a magically small group. Percentages hide the scale

@elonmusk The '1% of population = 63% violent crimes' stat is misleading hype. In the old Swedish study, that '1%' was 24,000+ people. In the US? 1% = over 3 million people. They use percentages to make it sound like a tiny handful we can easily round up.

Open letter to every investor who passed on Nigerian PropTech: You saw Spleet fail. You concluded: the market doesn't work. You were wrong. The MODEL failed. The MARKET is bigger than ever. 28 million unit deficit. 49% urban renters. Zero trusted platform. #Investment

That's better market research than any consultancy.

Self-taught founders are underrated in real estate tech. Pedigreed founders build for investors. Self-taught founders build for users. Because they ARE the user. I couldn't find a flat without being robbed. So I built the solution. #Founders #SelfTaught

And it is criminally underfunded in the places that need it most.

By 2030, 5 billion people will live in cities globally. 60% of humanity. Urban. Every single one of them needs somewhere to live. Real estate technology is not a vertical. It is the infrastructure of human civilization. #PropTech #Urbanization #Global

Trust is the scarcest resource in this market. Build it first. Everything else second.

The single greatest mistake in Nigerian PropTech: Building the listing before building the trust. Anyone can aggregate listings. PropertyPro did it in 2012. BuyLetLive did it too. The listings exist. The TRUSTED listings don't. #PropTech #Nigeria #Strategy

@hackSultan Worth 30 minutes of your time for a quick call? I’d love your thoughts as someone who sees these ecosystem shifts clearly

@hacksultan @hacksultan Exactly. The agent problem in Lagos rentals is brutal, extra fees, fake listings, wrong properties, and trust issues everywhere. We’re fixing it at MyAgent (myagent.africa). Nigeria’s first direct landlord-to-tenant rental marketplace.

@hackSultan Tenants browse and connect. No agent in the middle. We only earn a commission on successful rentals, Already have 20+ landlords onboarded and real transactions happening. This is the “house rent in Lagos next” moment we’ve been building for.

Maybe Riquelme wins. Two trophyless seasons is a real argument. The members might just be tired enough that timing doesn't matter. But from a pure strategy standpoint? Did nobody teach these rich kids about chess? @realmadriden #RealMadrid #Riquelme #FlorentinoPérez #LaLiga

I follow @FabrizioRomano for football news because he doesn't trade in rumors. What he's been reporting on Madrid these past weeks was real, not manufactured. And I kept asking: who has something to gain from how loud all of this got? Perez answered that. Riquelme confirmed it.

Enrique Riquelme just announced he's running for Real Madrid president. First real challenger @RealFloPerez has faced in 20+ years. As someone who thinks in chess, I have thoughts. Thread.
