🚨[Tonight] Nigerians banned from Qatar?
A few days ago, I did a rerun of the 2012 movie, "The Hunger Games", as a metaphor for understanding the 1st world vs 3rd world divide.
The first time I saw the movie, most of the metaphors flew right over my head.
At the time, I could only process the surface literal, not the deeper figurative; the denotative, not the connotative.
This time around, the parallels were clear.
It’s similar in tone to another movie I’ve previously recommended - "In Time" (2011).
See both movies, and you won't fight me when I say Third world residents are programmed to fail.
Failure here is not a bug, but a feature.
Last week, or was it two weeks ago, I talked about how to strategize your way out of the 99% that are limited by the mobility of their passports.
Just today, Qatar announced that Nigeria males (unmarried) have been barred from entering the country on a tourist visa.
Did I not predict that things would get worse for the Nigerian passport?
I don't even consider it a prediction anymore, like proclaiming that water is wet.
It's not all gloom and doom though.
A select few understand the system to the point of mastery and make their way prosperous.
Over the course of the series, we've uncovered multiple ideas, solutions and action points.
Tonight on Night School, we continue with the Third Installment of The One Percent Series with "Lifestyle Design 3".
As usual, due to the sensitivity of the conversation, there will be no replays, neither will this be revealed by me on any other platform.
I don't know why some people keep emailing me after the session with one sob story or another.
I've never been known to bend when I say "no replays".
Offering to pay for it will not change the rules.
If this is important to you, please show up on time. That's all I ask.
It's pretty simple.

It's my birthday again.
Yes, 9-9!
But this transmission is more about you.
For most of the year, I've been meditating on a quote from "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli.
That's a book that I generally ignored for most of my adult life because I could not yet see its relevance to me.
I assumed it was for politicians until I eventually reinterpreted its metaphors as I will do here.
It goes thus:
"_A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline;
for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank.
And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states_”
*Exegesis*
I think that in our time, there can be an overfixation on mental health such that you may start to idolize 'Peace' as the ultimate prize.
And might I add here to acknowledge why?
Life can get heavy at times.
The burden of survival, the wounds of everyday conflict and the weariness of struggle... *these are not small things.*
For many, the extended longing for peace is deeply human and understandable.
But hear me: though this may be the way of the average citizen, *it cannot be the way of Kings.*
If not peace, what then?
*CONQUEST!*
Medieval Kings and nobles did not necessarily relish peace.
Peasants and regular citizens did of course, but for Kings, peace was just a boring pause before the next campaign.
War was the only way Kings could seize wealth of rivals, expand their territory, and tax newly conquered territory.
As for the noblemen, they funded the Kings wars. You could call them the Venture Capitalists of their time.
If the King was successful, the nobles were rewarded with more land, castles and titles.
99% of the mental health advice out there was written for peasants, not Kings.
All that talk about perpetually protecting your peace, finding your bliss and living the soft life is 100% correct, for the average citizen.
*NOT YOU!*
As Kings, peace is not the end goal.
Peace is the boring break between campaigns.
If you are to rise in life, you must always be at war and constantly be a student of war.
Not in the literal sense as with swords and spears, but at war for domain expansion.
Take territories in your business, in your mind, in your relationships, in your world.
Your adversaries are third world demons, ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, timidity and the inertia that keeps your voice small.
Expand your dominion.
And when peace comes, do not let it make you soft.
In the absence of war, study war.
In the presence of it, practise war.
For in the words of Machiavelli:
"..._it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank.
And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states._”
*How To Gift Me*
You didn't think I would forget this did you?
Here is your opportunity to send me a gift.
See... I have been finding a nice way to say that I don't really like those pillows and mugs with my face on them.
I don't know who started that trend in Lagos, but I'm glad it died out with the pandemic.
Just send me money, thank you.

There’s so much turbulence globally, and perhaps their local versions will surface as well.
They’ll tempt you to lend your mental energies to their causes and you may want to vent your opinions online.
Resist it.
They’re not your friends. They don’t care about you.
They don’t love you.
They will use your psychic energies for nothing if you’re unguarded.
Focus! Your attention is the most valuable asset and they’re counting on you being careless with it.
Your only pursuit right now is the expansion of your territory - in business, in life, in influence.
What’s the status on your business trips, customer acquisition and strategic alliances?
Have you seen the movies I asked you to?
Your only business of concern right now is YOUR KINGDOM, not someone else’s.
Take advice only from Kings, not peasant influencers.
As another King wrote:
“_Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom._”
— Ecc. 9:10
I need you to succeed — not peasant success — but massive success.
Wild accolades. Bastard money. Earth shattering influence.
Maybe because I love you, but MOSTLY BECAUSE I WANT TO EAT YOUR MONEY!
I need to.
Talk soon,

*5 YouTube Channels I Wish I Had as a Kid*
(_For parents whose kids who will one day lead nations, industries, and movements_)
1️⃣ Khan Academy Kids – Fun, animated lessons that introduce saving, sharing, and value.

2️⃣ Learn Bright – Engaging videos on money basics, needs vs. wants, budgeting, and more.
📎 https://www.youtube.com/c/LearnBright
3️⃣ Crash Course Kids – Age-appropriate explainers on how the world works (resources, trade, production).
📎 https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcoursekids
4️⃣ Free School – History and world systems through stories of inventors, explorers, and empire builders.
📎 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCebMFnw6WxozGmqGekJHOJg
5️⃣ KidVestors – Financial literacy, investing, and entrepreneurship made kid-friendly.
📎 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSsduzeaL8j6KGeIl-rz5kA
——————
Some of these channels teach more than money matters, but yeah, their overall content and approach are solid.
“Let children be children” is hypnotic doctrine from “the other side”.
Instead, hand them the lead.
Heads, never tails.

Pornography, pop culture and endless scrolling through a hyper-sexualized social media feed.
None of it is accidental.
It’s the architecture of a system designed to keep you drifting. It's profitable to everyone in the loop, except yourself.
If you’ve been feeling drained, unfocused, or addicted to stimulation, this session will show you why… and perhaps suggest how to break free.
None of this is your fault.
Your desires have been engineered.
Your impulses monetized.
Your time converted into data and sold on the open market.
All this time, you've been up against corporations with PhDs on their payroll.
They know us better than we perhaps know ourselves.
It’s time to stop being the product... and start being the producer of your own thoughts, actions and destiny.

☝🏼 What I’m sharing here isn’t about faith, though you can cull that if it works for you.
I’m focused more on just how much we take for granted in our modern world — what people of the past had to go through in order to accomplish the most basic human tasks - transportation, communication and trade.
How much legacy are you leaving on the table given the tools available to us today?
A worthy paradigm to meditate on would be Yuval Noah Harari’s book title, Homo Deus.
It means God-like Humans.
It’s not the future. It’s already here.
Some humans already live in that reality, and if you aren’t, they’re beating you.
There’s a reason it’s called the “Human race”.
I want you winning.

Tonight’s scheduled meeting can no longer hold tonight due to operational reasons.
It will stream live tomorrow (Sunday), by 9pm.
As we continue with the 3rd installment of the “Economy of Mind” series, we will be examining a rather curious thought - the difference in men.
We may all look the same on a species level, but we are differentiated by our emotional/psychological/spiritual programming which in turn determines our eventual respective positions on the chessboard of life.
Regardless of how we were programmed by our human guardians, can one realistically renegotiate their place on the chessboard?
Is it achievable? Or just a fantasy we’re enticed to chase?
Of course it’s achievable but the ‘how’ is the bone of contention.
The so-called renewing of your mind begins with arming yourself with the most accurate version of reality.
We all see in part, but some do not even see at all.
Join us tomorrow (Sunday) by 9pm.

King Solomon wrote, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children”
I think his definition of ‘good’ here was informed by his personal experience as a son (and successor) of King David.
Preparing succession was (and still is) a priority to Kings. They’d built a lot and wanted to ensure its preservation, even in their demise.
They also attached a sense of pride to their offspring and wanted them well set up and protected.
They were also under no illusion that life was fair.
This was a hyper competitive world and their kids had to have as much of an advantage as possible over everyone else.
Consequently, they educated their offspring differently than the child of the commoner cared to.
So when King Solomon refers to leaving an inheritance, it was more than material.
Just before Kind David died, he called Solomon to his side and told him, as we say, where the bodies were buried.
He told him whom to trust and whom to punish; who was a generational friend and who was an enemy; which other kingdoms they had agreements with and which advisers to lean on.
Kind David even contributed a couple of chapters to Solomon’s book of Proverbs.
Only after arming him thus did he send him into this cruel world to try to win.
And so it baffles me almost to the point of irritation when parents choose to breed with little thought to what weapons of war their kids are engaging reality with.
No superior knowledge of the world they can use, no connections, no advantages, no capital, nothing.
Just “I brought you into this world”
Who asked you to? It’s a dark, dangerous and exploitative planet.
Or at most “You will succeed. I’m praying for you”
That’s not how it’s done, o peasant.
Anyway the deed has been done.
You’re here now… figuring out late in your life… that the world isn’t what you were told it was, especially those of you born into a Third World concentration camp.
You must wake up and sit up or be food for those who see.
The inheritance you weren’t given, you must learn to seize.
You must learn how to be free… *_IN THE WAYS THAT MATTER._*
☝🏼Read this line again.
Night School holds tonight at 9pm.
Be disciplined. Show up early, not begging for a replay or a recap.

Preparing succession was (and still is) a priority to Kings. They’d built a lot and wanted to ensure its preservation, even in their demise.
They also attached a sense of pride to their offspring and wanted them well set up and protected.
They were also under no illusion that life was fair.
This was a hyper competitive world and their kids had to have as much of an advantage as possible over everyone else.
Consequently, they educated their offspring differently than the child of the commoner cared to.
So when King Solomon refers to leaving an inheritance, it was more than material.
Just before Kind David died, he called Solomon to his side and told him, as we say, where the bodies were buried.
He told him whom to trust and whom to punish; who was a generational friend and who was an enemy; which other kingdoms they had agreements with and which advisers to lean on.
Kind David even contributed a couple of chapters to Solomon’s book of Proverbs.
Only after arming him thus did he send him into this cruel world to try to win.
And so it baffles me almost to the point of irritation when parents choose to breed with little thought to what weapons of war their kids are engaging reality with.
No superior knowledge of the world they can use, no connections, no advantages, no capital, nothing.
Just “I brought you into this world”
Who asked you to? It’s a dark, dangerous and exploitative planet.
Or at most “You will succeed. I’m praying for you”
That’s not how it’s done, o peasant.
Anyway the deed has been done.
You’re here now… figuring out late in your life… that the world isn’t what you were told it was, especially those of you born into a Third World concentration camp.
You must wake up and sit up or be food for those who see.
The inheritance you weren’t given, you must learn to seize.
You must learn how to be free… *_IN THE WAYS THAT MATTER._*

Be disciplined. Show up early, not begging for a replay or a recap.
Teachers like me only incarnate once in a generation so it’s funny to me when you’re lazy to access what is free of cost.
It’s the Economy of Mind series.
