If I could get a dollar for everytime an artisan has been sexist or misogynistic towards me, I would be a billionaire. This things is so deeply ingrained in the fabrics of our society that even employees you hire with your own hard earned money as a business owner will try it with you

I have learned to know the difference between kindness and see finish especially as a business owner. I nip it in the bud immediately!
Have you experienced this? How do you handle it?

The U.S. military parade held on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., has sparked widespread criticism for its poor execution and political undertones. Organized to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, the event was meant to be a grand patriotic celebration. However, many veterans, spectators, and critics called it the sloppiest and least disciplined military parade they had ever seen. Reports described soldiers marching out of sync, lack of formal saluting, and an overall unprofessional appearance.

Adding to the controversy was the choice of music. The parade featured classic rock songs, including Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” a well-known anti-war anthem criticizing the privileged who escape military service. Many saw this as a deeply ironic and inappropriate choice for an event meant to honor military service—especially considering it was used to salute a president who himself avoided the draft. The move was widely mocked online and condemned by veterans and military commentators.

The event was also politically charged, with some viewing it as a personal tribute to Trump rather than a nonpartisan celebration of the military. Critics pointed out the cost of the parade—estimated between $25 to $45 million—as wasteful, especially in light of ongoing budget concerns facing the Department of Veterans Affairs. A majority of Americans, according to polls, felt the parade was an unnecessary use of taxpayer money.

Running a business in Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted.
Running a company while managing six businesses? Even harder.
But if anyone is built for this journey, it’s me.

Yesterday, at the African Choice Awards, I was honored with the Female Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 award — and as I stood there receiving it, all I could think about was that eight-year-old girl who started it all.

At eight years old, after losing my father, I made a promise to myself — and to him — that no matter what, I would finish school.
With no parent to fall back on and no relatives stepping in, I turned to what I had: resilience, determination, and a drive to survive.
I began supplying mangoes and fruits from my father’s house to women in the market at wholesale, raising the funds I needed for my education, one sale at a time.

That young girl, who learned to fend for herself when the odds were stacked against her, has come full circle.

Today, I run multiple businesses, lead a company, and continue to chase the dreams that little girl dared to dream.
This award is not just a recognition — it’s a reminder: where you start doesn’t define where you’ll go.

Thank you to the African Choice Awards @africachoiceawards for this honor, and to every woman out there fighting silent battles and building dreams from scratch — this is for you.

President Donald Trump introduced a new savings initiative Monday as part of the pending $1.45 trillion budget package. ⁠
⁠
The pilot program, called “Invest America,” would provide $1,000 in government seed money for newborns’ index fund accounts, available to U.S. citizens born from 2025 through 2028. Contributions up to $5,000 annually could also be made by families, friends, or employers. “These men and women lead large, successful companies. And they are committed to contributing millions of dollars to the Trump account,” Trump said.⁠
⁠
The event brought together Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and executives from firms including Dell, Uber, Goldman Sachs, and Robinhood. Michael Dell said his company would match the federal contribution and add a “significant gift” from his foundation. ⁠
⁠
“This is an investment in our people, their families, our communities and America’s future,” Dell said. The accounts, controlled by legal guardians until beneficiaries turn 18, allow partial withdrawal at 18 and full access by age 30.⁠
