Ngl I'm broke — and you too 😞
I must have been aged 8 when I looked left, right, ceiling and floor inside my grandma’s old-scented house and said “I will tear this place down and build a new house for you, grandma”.
As the Iya Adura that she was called, she must have said a loud ‘Amen’. As the Iya Alaadun that she also went by, she must have served me some of her off-white, tongue-sooting delicacy usually wrapped in green leaves and tied with some brown ropes I always couldn’t wait to take apart.
Then at age 15, sometime mid-2009, she died. I didn’t get a chance to fulfill my promise. But I can’t blame her for going too early. Do you know why? Even if she had waited 14 more years, or just miraculously risen to life today, I would still not have been able to fulfill that promise. Yet.
So, on the scale of building a whole new house for my grandma, I am still broke. Too bad isn’t it 😭
In other news, I have been putting together a course to teach everything I have learned in practice with storytelling over the years (including with selling FourthCanvas to clients and Fullgap to investors+users)… And it’s out this Friday 🎉
It will sell at 35,000 NGN on Selar. If you will be ‘broke’ this time on Friday on the scale of buying my course, I shall not be broke-shaming you. I promise! What I will be doing instead is giving you this link today — https://t.co/mT9IkA850k — to pre-order at 40% LESS the price (21,000 NGN). Would your wallet have a chance now? If it still won’t, don’t feel bad. Just know you are not alone. We are both broke 🫂
