Poor kids learn this too late or never at all — that the world is one big casino.

Predicting future outcomes is big business (if you’re right), and with the right knowledge, you can bet on the future value of:

- Ideas (seed capital, patents, intellectual property)
- Financial instruments and commodities (gold, currencies, oil, wheat, crypto)
- Real estate (property markets, land development)
- Human capital (education, loans, vocational training, celebrity endorsements)
- Technology (startups, AI models, quantum computing ventures)
- Climate and resources (carbon credits, water rights, lithium futures)
- Cultural artifacts (NFTs, rare art, vintage collectibles)

What can you do with this info?

I don’t know. Probably nothing.

My point really is - if all you knew about betting was confined to sports betting and lottery tickets, the system has you in a psychological trap.

The whole world is one big casino as I’ve just explained.

Elite players bet only on elite outcomes.

And when they win, they are paid in generational wealth.

As usual, read this to your kids.

Keep trying.

There’s no key to success. It’s often a combination lock.

Would you like a free AI class to get you all caught up on what’s been happening the past month in AI.

Especially the newest bad guy - DEEPSEEK and other new players that can mint you money this year.

It’s all in your hands now. To be or not to be?

Every craft has its geographical capital(s),

and this ought to have been a part of your secondary school education.

Especially if you’re in your 20s, scheme night and day, restlessly, to be positioned in your skill capital.

To better aid your decision making process, note these psychological realities:

- some people who either missed their bus or couldn’t reach it, might sabotage you by saying location doesn’t matter. They don’t want to be left behind. Poor people INTENTIONALLY mislead other poor people

- ⁠when a preacher or public figure authoritatively gives life advice/motivation from a podium, think about whether it’s the same directive they’d give their biological children. Outside advice and inside guidance are often not the same

- ⁠and you reading this, when making decisions, be sure that it’s based on fact, not poverty or similar inadequacies. For example, it’s okay to accept that your ideal location is Berlin, while acknowledging that you don’t (currently) have the means to move there.

The worst lie is not the one told to you by another, but one you tell yourself repeatedly to the point of belief.

As far as we know about life, this is your one shot.

There are no do overs.

Make it count.

Media is too big

☝🏽 [WATCH] “The sky is wide enough for 2 birds to fly” is a common saying in The School of the Poor.

In the School of Wealth, it is understood that though the sky is wide enough for general movement, the resources in that wide sky will often be competed for, by any means possible.

The difference in both schools is that those raised by The School of The Poor think they need not be bothered about competition because “there’s enough for everyone”.

They are raised to be prey.

The wealthy are not so naive and focus on protecting their intellectual property by any means necessary.

Patents. Copyrights. Trademarks. Legal.

Stop being so loud with your half implemented ideas.

Post like Zuckerberg & Bezos - like your posts might affect your stock. They do.

Teach your kids this.

Young people struggle at life right from their choice of vocation at secondary school level.

Unfortunately it’s not even the young person’s fault.

They’re in the care of parents who should know better but don’t. The child’s problems begin there.

For example, Little Tomiwa somehow fixes the radio at home.

Mummy is happy and says Tomiwa will be an electrician.

She proudly boasts about it to her middle class friends who also don’t know better.

They cheer her on.

Tomiwa is a kid and is therefore happy because mummy is happy. He affirms “Yay! I will be an electrician”

He writes Jamb and fills in “Electrical Electronics” as his course of study.

Choice of Uni - FUTO.

16 years later, Toyin is working as a bank teller.

Whoever the new president is, is still on television blaming the opposition for the state of the country.

He advises the youth to stop waiting for handouts, embrace agriculture and start farming yam… but his own kids are not on that farm.

He promises that Nigeria will soon become the land of milk and honey. Patience, he urges.

Yet another public speaker is on YouTube passionately calling on the youth to be patriotic and join hands to build the nation… while he secretly begs the German embassy for asylum.

Tomiwa is not a quite a youth anymore. He’s seen it all. He’s tired.

The mainland-island commute is taking its toll and he’s aging quicker than he ought to.

Mum needs money for hospital bills while hinting that he needs to get married and give her grandchildren whilst she’s still alive.

“Okay” he says, non confrontationally.

He picks up his phone to read up “The ultimate guide to japa to Canada”

Who knows? This might be it.

He saw the ad on Facebook and took his chances on the info product.

It was either that or attend yet another MLM presentation.

A WhatsApp message from Bisi drops…
“Heyyyyyy 😊

Wow. This hey dragged on for longer than the last time, armed with an emoji.

Pineapple flavored greetings from Bisi are not free of charge.

He reads it from notifications but won’t open it.

He’s home now and there’s still no light. Nothing new. Just normal Band-B wahala.

In 2021, I taught a Night School series “The Game of Life”, only streamed live, not recorded.

There, I properly defined the metaphysical nature and intent of poverty.

And to close last year (‘24), we concluded the “Alchemy of Wealth” series.

These teachings are what you needed before you turned 10.

Going back to Tomiwa… how could he have lived differently?

If his mother had been better educated or known of John Obidi, she wouldn’t have jumped to a conclusion of Electrician just because he showed some talent.

She would have approached his choice of vocation from a place of power.

If Tomiwa can put a radio together, he should learn how to organize and lead other geniuses who also know how to put radios together.

He should learn to pull the wealth levers of his chosen industry - hiring, retaining and managing talent, filing patents, selling the idea of his craft to investors, customers and clients, etc.

He should learn to fill his network, not with geniuses that put radios together, but with geniuses that also pull the levers of wealth in the previous paragraph.

He would learn that life is designed to be a Ponzi scheme… and he should never be caught at the bottom of it.

The first Night School episode of the year is this Saturday.

Watch this space for the update.

This will be your money year, I guarantee it.

So you know say everybody get oga… I had to show up for my oga (Olakunle Soriyan) this season, so I’m having to slightly postpone Night School until after this ongoing event.

Don’t worry, I’ve cooked something special for you and it will be super packed to give you the competitive advantage in 2025.

Night School will now hold on Tuesday.

In the meantime, I need everyone (especially our newcomers) to get used to our philosophy here by (re-)watching the 3-part series “Rainmakers & Villagers”.

I presented it at House on The Rock Church, Enugu sometime last year.

Part 1: https://youtu.be/b3NzS29E7ZE

Part 2: https://youtu.be/XT00hxHLdm4

Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/live/vORU_tP7aPs

Please do not procrastinate on this because it’s free.

It’s wisdom for this season as we enter our next.

Make your notes. And then let’s talk about it.

There are some of you here whose star/destiny depends on showing yourself to the public.

But the temptation that often befalls this category of people is the same one that befell the biblical Jonah.

You’re making up reasons to avoid going to Nineveh.

That’s why Abiodun’s crypto investment worked but your own failed.

It must fail. Your angels will ensure all alternative paths are frustrated.

Your own specific aura was engineered to be public facing - to be seen and heard; to influence the way people think and feel.

Your gold and all your fortune is locked up in your acceptance of this destiny.
