Stop embarrassing yourself

your mates are fixing their lives while you remain an Internet troll.

Can imagine how miserable your life is.

In as much as you're right, this is not one of such strategies. Its just an encouragement, we have to patronize Naija.

aids as in?

ChiefOloye:
The handlers and some of the aides of the Vice President are not as brilliant and erudite as the VP himself, they're top-notch. See packaging and branding. I give it to them any day.

Fibonacci88:
I hate APC but if they present this man in 2023 I have no choice.

SmartPolician:
To date, it beats my imagination why people prefer Tinubu to Osinbajo. This man is not only intelligent, he is also sensitive and connects with the people.

Politics and sentiments aside, I strongly believe that most of the things he does today are borne out of pressure to please his boss. The Osinbajo who sacked Daura and visited all the states of Niger Delta to promote peace and tranquility has all the takes to put Nigeria on the right track.

Penguin2:
2023 campaign has begun in earnest.

Na we them dey use formart for?

We know

77up:
Imagine this thinking

What do you want him to do in that circle than to just play along with them? It's obvious he would have been a dead man if he continue acting smart, his helicopter crash is eye opener.

Let him become president and see how government is been done but unnecessary hatred and tribalism won't gree

The VP’s official photographer, Tolani Alli captures this development in 6 P’s.

I: Providence
It is more than a mere act of divine arrangement, providence works with intense intentionality.

Story Time: So this guy, OjBest, tweeted at the @profosinbajo about his shoe craft and while it’s not always likely he sees these things, he saw this one.

Oj wanted to gift him a shoe & also use that opportunity to further expose his craftsmanship to the world. Remember shoot your shot(he did), it worked out and @profosinbajo even ordered a pair of a sandal he likes to wear and provided a sample for OJ

II: Preparation

Providence loves to work with preparation. Unknown to OjBest, he met a VP prepared to embrace his story, especially if there was quality to back it up. You see @profosinbajo is very loud when it comes to championing Made in Nigeria for Export (MINE) products.

To him, it's more than another government policy to elevate MSMEs, he really believes in it. He buys Nigerian to use, not for optics.

III: Proficiency

Providence, like a lake, loves to empty itself into the ocean of proficiency. Standing before the right person is great, but you MUST be proficient enough to offer unmistakable value and quality, that’s your staying power (more on this later).

Yes “shoot your shot”, but is your shot quality?

IV: Prose

Words matter and regardless of your religion predilection, many can identify with Proverbs Chapter 22:29 "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings".

I am sure a lot of you have always translated this verse largely for the luxury of prose and candor. However, this experience made me have a rethink. To stand before Kings, can it mean more than that? Can it be to receive kingly insight to becoming a king in your own right?

OjBest offered to gift the shoes to the VP; but the VP insisted on paying for the service offered and then went on to use the moment to imprint on him about always knowing and stating your value in order to succeed as an Entrepreneur.

IV Projection

There was skepticism. "He won't wear it", voices said of the VP. See, people don’t always project who you are, they project who THEY think you are or worse, who they think you should be. Zero out of 10 times though, they are wrong.

The VP did wear the shoes today and will almost certainly wear more shoes from Oj (see my prior point on staying power).
The words that came to my heart when I noticed him wearing the shoes today on his way to a meeting in the garden?! He walks his talk.

VI: Parting Point

Seldom listen to skepticism when your gun is loaded with powder...this is your value on your journey to greatness. Greatness if you succeed and lesson that will shape your greatness if you don’t.

Good evening.

Same problem I have with some of my soldiers.

Me: PVT Snuffy, why are you hanging around that dirt bag?

Snuffy: SFC, he is a good guy. He just made a couple of mistakes.

Me: A couple? He's had a DUI, pissed hot in a urinalysis, and is now under investigation for sexual assault. Really snuffy?

Snuffy: *cricket*.......

Jaqenhghar:
LMAO @ PVT snuffy. Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.

BTW did you ever do this to PVT Snuffy

Only drill sergeants can do that and even that has a limit. It's called hazing and if it is proven you actually did it in a regular unit then your career is over for sure.

Jaqenhghar:
Na wa O. No wonder I hear complaints from the old guard about how soft things have become
