It was November/December 2021, I had just resumed at my new job with an Event and Media company in Akure and as per JD I was at an event working the booth with my guy Joshua Garba and here comes this guest to greet us. He’s doing the rounds asking everyone their names
~ Creatives, what incident happened to you that made you drop everything and go creating full time ?

The people in the first frame are nurses in the US having fun with their patients. They weren’t blacklisted from their nursing register or punished for making the video.
The people in the second frame are nursing students who were simply having fun without showing any patients, yet they were reportedly expelled from nursing school.
How do I explain this to someone outside the nursing profession?

Yesterday I pondered, as I walked along the darkening street... "why are bras made in shape of cups when books come in all shapes. How about a cylindrical shape, I thought to myself. The thought amusing, I instinctively laughed out loud, shaking my head.
Why is it called New Delhi? It’s almost 100 years old. Shouldn’t it be Old Delhi by now?
Why is it called real estate? Is there fake estate?
Why is a boxing ring called a ring when it’s actually a square?
Why do we call it a pair of pants when there’s only one?
Why is it called a pineapple when it’s neither a pine nor an apple?
Why is it called a supermarket when most of them are not particularly super?
Why do we call it a building when it’s already built?
These are the type of questions i sometimes ponder about.

Beautiful 🤌
God walked me out of a tech trap today. Last year, my guy asked me to design the entire branding and UI/UX for his fintech startup. "Bro, we are co-founders, salary will kick in after our pre-seed round." I worked day and night for 8 months. No sleep.
Fast forward to yesterday. I saw a TechCabal article announcing they raised $1.2M in pre-seed. I was grinning, waiting for my email. Nothing. I went to the office they just rented in Lekki Phase 1. The security guy asked for my appointment letter. I laughed.
I called my "co-founder." He came down, looked me in the eye and said: "Bro, the investors demanded a restructured cap table. We had to drop non-essential roles. But I can give you ₦250k for your troubles." ₦250k for an entire ecosystem layout? Fear men.
I forgot to mention that I host the entire Figma project on my personal account, and the developer was using my live tokens. I walked to a cafe, opened my laptop, and deleted the entire master file. The app went completely blank mid-demo with their board members.
He’s been blowing up my phone since 6 AM, crying. His investors are threatening to pull the funding for breach of contract. He sent his pastor to beg me. Please have the equity document signed by noon; otherwise, they'll discard the source code. Premium tears.

You're posting every day, as a business owner.
You are having the Same number of followers. the Same number of reach. Infact the Same results.
Here's what's missing, you're not driving traffic to your profile.
So what you should do, is just to Turn on your next ads. Set placement to Instagram only.
Run it as a profile visit campaign. And thank me later.
Watch how the numbers will definitely skyrocket.
What this means is Consistency builds content, while Strategy definitely builds an audience.

Things I’m learning o:
Producers should be paid well. This work is incredibly difficult. Actors should be paid separately for marketing and promotional duties outside their acting fees, especially on commercial films. Promotion is a full job on its own. And if a film does exceptionally well, crew members should share in that success too, especially if their original pay wasn't great. Once a film has recouped and broken even, it only feels fair. Anyway, I've been super stressed lately. Up at night working. A laborer is worthy of their wages. 😅
