Happy Sunday from all of us.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together," the elders always said. So, seek help. Sharing your vision with a man who insisted on planting only by the phases of the moon and another whose prize-winning goat kept eating all the seedlings could create confusions.

“What is right?” the conscience whispered. I tell you: honesty, kindness, and hard work. A clear conscience enriches your value and lead to genuine happiness.

Happy Sunday.

At Onitsha, creativity is the currency. A young Chinedu learned the art of trading from his father, who ran a small stall selling household goods. But Chinedu had bigger dreams. He wanted to take his family’s business global. One day, while helping his father, he noticed how customers loved his jokes and stories. He started using jokes to sell, and it worked like magic. People didn’t just buy—they stayed to laugh and chat.

Encouraged by his success, Chinedu decided to expand. He saved up some money and borrowed from his uncle, promising to double the investment. But instead of buying more goods, Chinedu got carried away. He spent half the money on a flashy signboard that read “Chinedu’s Laugh & Buy Emporium” and the other half on a DJ to attract customers. The first day was a hit—people came for the music and stayed for the jokes. But when it was time to restock, Chinedu realized he had no money left.

His father found out and nearly fainted. “You spent all the money on a sign and a DJ?!” he yelled. Chinedu, ever the optimist, replied, “Papa, at least we’re famous now!” Miserable but determined, Chinedu started selling the DJ’s speakers to restock the stall. Lesson learned: even in business, don’t let the joke be on you!

The Fika Break That Sparked a Revolution

In Stockholm, the concept of "fika" is more than just a coffee break—it’s a cultural institution. For Emil, a designer struggling with creative block, fika became his saving grace. Every afternoon, he would step away from his desk and head to a cozy café near his office. There, surrounded by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and cinnamon buns, Emil found his inspiration.

One day, during his usual fika break, Emil sketched a design on a napkin. It was a simple yet elegant concept for a sustainable furniture line. He shared the idea with his team, and they loved it. The design went on to win an international award, and Emil’s career skyrocketed.

Lesson: sometimes, the best ideas come when we pause and allow ourselves to breathe.

MONEY IN LAUGHTER—2
Ada saw an opportunity. She decided to organize a comedy show in her hostel to bring laughter back to her peers. However, there was one problem: she needed funds to make it happen. She approached her uncle, who was known for being stingy, and pleaded for a loan of 100,000 naira to cover the costs. After much persuasion, her uncle reluctantly agreed but gave her only 20,000 naira instead.

Undeterred, Ada got creative. She used the money to rent a small sound system and convinced her funniest friends to perform for free. She wrote on a piece of paper: "LAUGH FOR FREE AT MOREMI. 7PM" and slid it under every doorpost she could cover. The night of the show, the hostel common room was packed. Students laughed until their sides hurt, and for a few hours, the stress of the strike was forgotten.

The show was a massive success, and Ada’s name spread like wildfire across campus. Her Instagram page grew with cash. She realized that even with limited resources, something extraordinary could be created.

THE MONEY IN LAUGHTER
Lagos for show! The streets buzz with energy, and the air hums with the sounds of honking cars and lively chatter. Why? A mad man rejected a 100 naira note on account that it was dirty. As he turned to go, his weather-beaten trousers caught the side mirror of a car.

Ada, passing by, found her calling—laughter was the secret to unlocking creativity. Every morning, she started her day with a stand-up comedy routine, even if her audience was just her reflection in the mirror, and her journey to success wasn’t without its hurdles.

While studying at the university, she noticed that her fellow students were bored and frustrated due to a prolonged strike caused by the ongoing salary dispute between lecturers and the government. The campus, once vibrant, had become a ghost town, and students were desperate for something to lift their spirits.... to be continued in an hour.

Waiting teaches patience but can test you.
Yet doing something makes wait-time fly. Engage in learning, and suddenly, waiting becomes rewarding...
But then, were you ever really waiting at all? 😉

Take charge of your destiny; otherwise, someone else will shape it for you. It's up to you to steer your life in the direction you desire, rather than letting external forces dictate your path. Embrace your power and make choices that align with your true aspirations.
