There’s a corner of Lagos some call “too far,” “too rough,” or “not ready.” But as a builder, I see it differently.
I see Western Lagos as African Silicon Valley. A blank canvas. A place where possibility hasn’t been priced out yet.
I always said that what you’re working on isn’t hard, you just don’t have a bigger dream.
A small vision makes everything feel heavy. But when you have a bigger dream - You’ll walk longer roads.
Skill matters. Grit matters. But vision? That’s the multiplier. It’s what turns a freelance gig into a movement, a side hustle into a platform, a local idea into a global one.
This week’s challenge:
Ask yourself: What’s my Western Lagos?
What’s the “impossible” dream that gets you out of bed - even when it’s hard, even when you’re doubting, even when you’re building alone?
Then write it down. Say it out loud.
And take one action - just one - that brings it closer.
Stay zoned in.
