Today’s #NairaLife reminds me of that meme that goes, “I don’t want peace; I want problems always!” Because why is the subject investing all his money after once losing everything to bad investments?

It was a four-bedroom house, but we had access to two. My friend lived in one of the rooms with his wife. I lived in another room with my family and another friend who was also squatting. My wife and two children slept on the bed, and I and the other friend slept on the floor.” He’s doing much better now, but he doesn’t like keeping money. “I believe that money is like a Christmas goat. It’ll run away if you don’t tie it down. I’ll always spend money, so I think it’s better that it’s out there working for me. I don’t believe in holding money; I either give it out, loan it, or invest it.” [Read his NairaLife here](=.el8lqXNnEN6yUKagcnK0m_z9Y2q8zjR1uFxAcMuYbu8) =.WIzcRDuAEodM7aaeQ_FwZepZCDcqEIy0hxYZst-C-uM Throwback to Moonshot 2023 This year’s Moonshot promises more content tracks, sessions, mixers, and the most audacious thinkers, doers, and investors in African tech, working on everything from fintech to commerce, renewable energy, climate change, tech policy, AI, telco, cloud and more. 👉🏾 Save a seat at Moonshot 2024.
