“Psquare Wasn’t Just Peter & Paul — It Was Peter, Paul and Jude. Jude Okoye sold his properties to support Psquare from the beginning of their career,” - Music Journalist Joe Akan reveals Joe Akan on the full role Jude Okoye actually played in P-Square career:🗣️ “Jude Okoye wasn't only a manager, he was a financier, who sold his properties to fund Psquare from the ground up. He also did their A&R, ran the books, bought most of Psquare's properties, kept them on a salary to save money, and raised their booking rates to reflect growth. He gave us Psquare. For all these, the brothers agreed that Psquare was a 3-man show, and all proceeds were split 3-way to account for his investment, and contribution. Psquare wasn't Peter and Paul. It was Peter, Paul and Jude. Now? Go and ask your current biggest stars how much percentages they concede to their labels, it's usually twice what Jude was was making for all his troubles. On this point, he was a fair boss, A&R, manager, investor, producer and engineer.” #1official #trending #PSquare

𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁. I saw a post about a handler who told a customer, “You are not a serious buyer, bye,” just because the customer said, “I will get back to you.” (The post is in the comment section.) The truth is, anyone can learn a skill. People can even learn on the job. But you cannot teach respect, empathy, or good communication to someone who doesn’t have it. It has to be in them. This applies to every field from banking to healthcare. A rude nurse can make patients stop coming, just like a careless sales rep can damage your brand. 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕. Customers don’t always buy immediately. Even in the market, I make enquiries and negotiate prices. Some people need to plan, compare, or save up. As a handler, your job is to make them feel good enough to come back later or even refer others. The way you make people feel matters. I wasn’t taught customer communication in my social media mgt and marketing courses. I only came across it when I took a customer service course on Coursera. But even without that course, What happened to common sense? If it were her own business, would she talk to her customers that way? Don’t hire only for skill. Hire people who reflect your values. A skilled person with bad character can destroy what you spent years building in one minute. 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕.

Your silence is not weakness, but *it is proof of your emotional intelligence.* Do not drop down to their level. *Distance is the only answer to disrespect.* Do not react. Do not argue, but simply remove your presence. *Never allow anyone to become too comfortable* with disrespecting you. The Lord Sustains. Good morning, family members 💕💕💕💕💕💃💃💃💃

HOW TO BE POOR AND HOW TO GET RICH — The Choice is Yours 🚨 If after 4 years in a higher institution you’re still roaming the streets looking for a job, you need to hear this: you’ve failed—monumentally. Let’s stop pampering mediocrity. We’re in a country where truth sounds like hate because too many people are emotionally allergic to accountability. How do we explain that someone who studied Business Administration is now begging a secondary school dropout for job opportunities? How do we have graduates of Agriculture going hungry, when food is gold? Here's the bitter truth: poverty is not always a curse from the devil; often, it’s a system we’ve bought into with our mindset, our ego, and our excuses. Let’s break this down: 1️⃣ Pride: The Graduate Mentality Trap We want soft life. AC offices. Clean suits. Titles. But reality doesn’t pay you for your degree; it pays you for value. Artisan jobs are dying. In 10 years, Nigeria may have no more plumbers, welders, painters—everyone is chasing office jobs. Yet, the ones creating generational wealth are those with tools in their hands and solutions in their heads. Being a graduate shouldn’t stop you from picking up a skill. The world is changing, but are you? 2️⃣ Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome Everyone wants to hammer, but no one wants to suffer. There was a lady in my former church who kept disturbing me about venturing into tech because she heard I make good money. What she didn’t see were my 7 years of trials, the 2 years of no clients, the cancelled N2M deals, the sleepless nights, the rejections. You want what people have, but can you handle what they went through? Wealth takes time. 5 to 7 years of focused grind—minimum. Stop starting today and expecting harvest tomorrow. That’s not entrepreneurship; that’s fantasy. 3️⃣ Lack of Mentorship We spend millions to learn how to drive. But who teaches us how to make money, live purposefully, or build wealth? When Dr. Stephen Akintayo charges for mentorship, people cry scam. Yet they spend the same amount on phones, parties, and clothes. Poverty thrives where knowledge is undervalued. Mentorship is not free—it demands money or service. But it shortens your journey by years. Find someone ahead of you and serve your way into wisdom. 4️⃣ The “Only Me” Mentality We compete instead of collaborate. We want to outshine, not uplift. But the wealthiest communities—like the Jews—grow as a unit. Africa needs to understand: teamwork will take you farther than talent. 5️⃣ Lack of Integrity Our handshake is not worth a promise. We lie, we cheat, we scam—then pray for breakthrough. We must return to honesty, accountability, and trust. You can’t build lasting wealth without a name people can vouch for. 6️⃣ The Mentality Problem Survival Mentality: Just eating and breathing is not the goal of life. Receiver’s Mentality: Always collecting, never creating. Hunter’s Mentality: Eat today, die tomorrow. No long-term vision. 7️⃣ The Bandwagon Effect You start what’s trending, not what’s purposeful. That’s why we have failed forex traders, half-baked tech bros, and abandoned POS kiosks everywhere. Purpose is personal. You must find your lane, not just follow the noise. 8️⃣ False Priorities We put all hope in: God (without work) Classroom education (without skills) Government (without responsibility) Faith without works is dead. Education without action is useless. Government without personal accountability is hopeless. 9️⃣ Mindset is Everything Until your mind changes, your life can’t. You cannot carry a poor man’s mentality into a rich man’s future. Wealth starts from within. 🔟 Environment Shapes Destiny Your location can limit your vision. Surroundings influence success. You can’t live in a dump and dream of a palace without mental relocation first. Move. Change your crowd. Redesign your inputs. 💥 Until you break these chains, you will remain exactly where you are: educated, frustrated, and broke. The choice is yours. Be poor. Or rise. Your future is not a prophecy; it’s a decision. ✅ If this message stirred something in you, do this: 👍 Like this post 💬 Drop a comment that says “I choose wealth!” 🔁 Share with someone who needs this brutal truth 👣 Follow me — Damilola Adewuyi — your personal and business development partner 📍Let’s walk this journey together.

"All Fingers Are Not Equal—A Mental Health Lesson for Nigerians" In the picture attached, 3 measuring tapes are placed side by side. All are meant to measure the same thing—but look closely. The starting points are not aligned. Even though they are designed for the same purpose, their results will always differ because they don’t start from the same place. This image teaches us a powerful life lesson, especially about mental health and personal struggles. 🏮The Nigerian Reality: The Pressure of Comparison: In Nigeria today, people constantly compare themselves with others. "My mate has built a house; why haven’t I?" "She has two cars, and I’m still trekking." "Look at his business booming, and mine is crawling." We forget that everyone's starting point is different. Just like the measuring tapes in the picture, some people start life with better opportunities, resources, or support systems, while others face setbacks from day one. 🏮Mental Health and Silent Battles: Many Nigerians suffer silently because of these unfair comparisons. They fall into depression, anxiety, or self-doubt, forgetting that: Some people are battling illnesses you can’t see. Some are healing from emotional wounds you don’t know about. Some are fighting family problems, financial hardships, or traumas quietly. Key Message: “All Fingers Are Not Equal” Just like fingers on the hand, no two lives are the same. 🏮 Accept your journey. Don’t measure your success with someone else’s ruler. Focus on personal growth, not competition. Seek help when you’re mentally overwhelmed. (It’s not weakness—it’s wisdom.) 🏮 A Call to Action Dear Nigerians, let’s normalize: Talking about mental health without shame. Supporting each other without judgment. Understanding that life’s measurements are never the same for everyone. Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection. Be kind to yourself. Your race is unique. #MentalHealthAwarenessNigeria #AllFingersAreNotEqual #MentalHealthMatters #StopTheComparison #SeekHelpWhenNeeded
