Maybe I should tell you guys the story of how I was poached by this AI company to be their Head of Marketing. Offer… 3M p/m. What would I be marketing? An AI data center and and the first fully AI radio station in the world. Oya, where the data center? “The equipment is on its way.” How far the radio station? “The transmitter and license one thing one thing. Don’t worry, keep doing the background work so that when we’re ready to go live…” Oya now. Month 1, I no see budget. Dem no on radio. Data center still dey empty but dem buy bicycles for the company. Dem say funding Dey come from the US “anytime from now.” Okay na. Salary day reach. Nothing about salary. They said they were working on opening the company account. I was so confused. A month and a half don pass. I don drive go island 3 times a week. Na so I stop to Dey go. All of a sudden, founder calls a meeting and goes on about how we’re not showing the right attitude to work. I confuse again. I had to go read my employment letter again, make e no be say I sign to work for free 😂 Dem say salary go drop the next day but make I please accept a renegotiation. Dem reduce 3M to 1M. 😂 I like the project. Oya, bring! I come give them conditions. Employ CTO, employ CD. I don do strategy, GTM… everything. Give me sth to market ffs. Dem say make I recommend. I brought my guy on board as CD. He then employed his own creative team. One random day, I got to the office and saw like 25 new faces and cubicles. Ahn ahn, wetin Dey sup? Dem say dem don employ “AI Agents”. I confuse again. One week later, these guys haven’t done jack. I asked what was going on and they said they were waiting for ME TO ACTIVATE THEM. I first burst laugh. Activate you on what? With what? To do exactly what? Next thing, CEO say dem Dey send me, business lead and our robotics guy (that hadn’t done a single thing for 4 months) go Morocco for GITEX.) I didn’t even know we had a robotics team. Wetin dem Dey do? 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, free trip? Bring! We reach Morocco, dem no send money for hotel or food. I say I don die 🤣🤣🤣 Hotel hold our passport for 4 days 🤣 Saxophone never even loud at this point😭 I Dey come. Make I chop first.
