PHOTO BY MEI have spent the last few days wishing time moves faster. It has really been a tough year. Considering I just got married, it is even crazier thinking about it.I swear I don't know how I have survived these past 7 months. Airdrop hunting hasn't been so great and I do write as much as I used to. Most of the monies I have made have gone into my immigration plans.I got good news today and based on my calculation, me and my wife should be out of the country in a couple months. Finally, crypto can take a back seat while I do something more meaningful with my life.I am grateful for the crypto space and all the wonderful things it has brought my way. However, I have felt stuck for a very long time. This bull run was supposed to be my big break but unfortunately things did not go as I planned. I don't know if there will be another bull market but I have to prepare for it and that entails generating capital elsewhere. I am so happy I for another chance to try something new with my amazing wife. I am so happy. All our plans are coming to fruition. Glory be to God.

PHOTO BY MEI spent the better part of my day listening to two episodes of the Noble Nigeria Podcast on YouTube. These two episodes feature political activists David Hudeyin and Prof. Wole Soyinka. They spoke extensively about the Nigerian struggle, and I want to join the conversation. I am not as knowledgeable as both speakers on the subject matter, but I am an active citizen who has spent most of his life in the country and is aware of the situation on the ground, so I have an opinion on how to develop my country.Unfortunately, Nigeria has forced many like myself into self-preservation mode. Most of us are fleeing to the West in hopes of a better future. Aside from my own selfish reasons, I believe this is the best I can do to help future generations. I strongly believe that Nigerians in the diaspora have an important role to play in changing the fortunes of the country. They will ignite the revolution that will transform the country.Besides providing economic support, Nigerians abroad might be the catalyst for change. Some of the most influential Nigerian voices are broad and free from the dictates of the corrupt and ruthless political class. This is shaping and changing the consciousness of Nigerians at home. Now more than ever, Nigerians are beginning to understand who the true enemy is, not some figurative 'village people' or act of God. This realization is being hastened by the harsh hardships, which will worsen.Unfortunately, there needs to be a violent uprising to rid Nigeria of its corrupt political class, but changing the country will take more than just removing a few individuals. What needs to change is the collective mindset of the people, which will take time in this case. So some of the things I am writing about today may not happen in my generation or the next.Another thing I have recently realized is that much of Nigeria's history is not documented. Many of the experiences the current generation is going through have happened in some shape or form before. Being ignorant of our past has cost us as a people, as it leads us to repeat the same mistakes. With the internet and social media, much of our political history is now better do

Yesterday, I was with my wife. We had just completed some tasks and were really exhausted. While returning, we discussed all the stress we've been through and prayed that everything we've been working towards for the past year comes to fruition. It has cost an arm and a leg to get our migration plans to this point, and there is still a lot to do. During that conversation, my mind wandered to the past and how far I have come. I couldn't help but feel grateful because, some years ago, I could not dream this far. At one point, my life was so bleak that I couldn't even dream. I remember the hardship I went through when I lost my father and how I had to assume the role of breadwinner for my family without having the means to even provide for myself.Even recently, with the economic hardship, I have been able to survive. I can't remember the last time I earned a decent income, but that hasn't affected how I live. I can't help but feel gratitude towards God and everyone in my life—my wife, mother, sisters, and brothers. Together, we've been able to survive everything life has thrown our way. It hasn't been easy, but it is far better than the worst I had imagined.My life has been a testament to God's grace and mercy. I do not take that for granted. I know I complain a lot (mostly out of ignorance), but it is also good to remember how far I have come and the fact that God is still making a way for me and my family. It might not suit my timeline, but His ways are far superior to mine.I want to start today on a positive note and lead with that for the rest of the day. Also, I would like you to sit down and think about how far you've come from where you used to be. All the challenges you've overcome, and maybe that will give you some motivation to press forward despite your current situation. Cheers!

PHOTO BY MEI have not been consistent with creating content this year, and im trying to change that, atleast this month bu writing everyday. This could be my last month of active blogging.I dont have any really plans for this page anymore, and i am spending less time consuming content Hive. I dont think it is fair to keep on writing and earning. Plus, i think i have said basically everything in the last 5 years. Most of my post seem redundant anyway.In addition, i cant keep making personal posts like this one, my wife doesnt fancy them 🤣. She thinks i over share and she is right. The alternative is to complain about Hive, and in all honesty, i dont really care anymore.Never thought creating content would become this mundane. It felt different when i thought i was building something or that I was part of something. We were going to revolutionalise web 3 with Hive. I dont think there are many people who share such sentiments anymore. I dont even see those Hive posts on X anymore. It is sad.I wish the market gets people excited once more. Hive really need it. I dont think it would do much for me at this point (thankfully the world doesnt revolve around me). It is just Hive but crypto in general.It has been a cold day here in Lagos. Spent most of it on my bed. I need the rains to stop so i can take my car to the carwash. Need to do some proper cleaning before i put it up for sale. I will miss my baby. If i had my way, i will keep it for sentimental reasons, but i wont be in the country anyways, so it has to go.Alright, thats all i have time for today. I am going to decline payout on this post just for the lack of effort. I just want to keep my streak. Cheers!

PHOTO BY MEIt just dawned on me that I have barely two months before my RELOCATION. My wife is started her Master's degree program in October and we need to find a job and settle in a new country. I am excited about the idea of migrating but the reality is a need a lot of money to get us over there, and right now I don't know to get it without doing something extreme, and by extreme I mean selling all I have.It is worth it?It been five years since I graduated from college. I assumed I would be a crypto millionaire by now, or have a short at a decent live, unfortunately that hasn't being the case. I have tried a few entrepreneurial ventures and at the point where I cannot do that anymore. I need something more stable to support my dreams and family. This is what this whole exodus is all about--STABILITY.My wife has been instrumental in our pursuit so far. Without her I don't think we would have gotten this far because all I had planned for us to raise money failed. It is more than disappointing and I think I am So I need this to work for me and my family. This is why I am willing to do whatever it takes (and that means selling everything at this point). I have been kind of reluctant because I do not want to let go of these things I have gathered over the years, including the assets requited to me, but it is either that or a really dark future.I know there is no guarantee that my new endeavor will yield the desired fruit. Being in a new country; learning a new language; and pursuing a new career path are very drastic steps to take in a short time. Nevertheless, my convictions are solid. I know I am doing the right thing. The only fear, I guess, is that my entire family are exposed to the risk associated with my decision.I want to read this post a year from now with no regrets. There is so much in my head that I cannot share. Nevertheless, I am going to take action. Cheers!

In the spirit of wishful thinking, I decided to articulate my thoughts on how I would go about spending my fortune if I won big in a lottery. I am not much of a gambling man, and I don't encourage it, but I happen to play occasionally.The funny thing about the way I speculate (I hate the word 'gamble') is that I never really aim for a huge amount of money. This is because I don't believe one can make a lot from gambling. Yes, there are instances where people get really lucky, but that's very unlikely, and for those who aim high, very few expect to win, hence their confusion when they do win.I have heard stories about people losing their newfound fortune from the lottery as soon as they got it. That's understandable because, firstly, they never imagined winning such an amount in their lifetime, and they do not have the capacity to handle that kind of money. So they don't know what to do with it or the type of people they should have around them to grow or at least maintain that money.If I were to stumble upon that kind of money (for instance, $1 million), my first instinct would be to dump it all in a fixed deposit account and travel for three months to get over the shock. I would spend that time reading and investigating how to protect my fortune. After which, I would get a lawyer and a portfolio manager and articulate my plans for my money (which is to be able to live off the interest of my capital investment), so they can draw out a low-risk investment plan that covers my current lifestyle (PS: no major lifestyle changes for at least one year).Once my financial future is secured, I would go back to university and pursue a career as a writer and historian. I might also add a psychology degree as well. If I am lucky to make it into my 40s or 50s, I can then pursue a political career or become a lecturer.So far, I have articulated how I would spend my fortune if I became nouveau riche, but let's also explore the dark sides of my personality. What are the negative things I would most likely indulge in, that might ruin me?I might splurge o
