In 100 level, I was asleep in class till I woke up to see “Classwork” on the board.
I solved it, raised my hand, and suddenly, the whole class went silent, staring. That’s when I realized it was actually a trick question.
The lecturer checked my work, saw it was correct… but assumed I copied cause a Calculus textbook was beside me.
I told him to give me another one.
He did.
I solved it again, right there in front of him.
Fun part? 💀
The question was actually meant for 400-level Industrial Math students.

Day 2 is done and dusted, and even though I'm tired, I really had so much fun! 😍🔥
@moonshotbytc has always been the meeting ground for a lot of my online friendships since I started going in 2024 (Yes I'm a 3-year attendee. There's a prize for that, right? 👀), but this year, I reconnected with long lost friends, and secondary school classmates even 🤯, and even made MORE friends!
It genuinely was so cool bumping into @ChukwuAdaeze, @victorfatanmi, @Fosudo, @bolaabanjo, @the_boludada, and so many other incredible people you can only see at Moonshot. 😍
I'm also really grateful for all the people whom I have impacted with my work online and offline who stopped me in my tracks to tell me they follow me or they're a fan. It was genuinely humbling.
I'm also grateful to be a creator partner @TechCabal and getting Prime-sponsored two years in a row.
MoonShot has been the fountain of some of the most incredible things that have happened to me. In 2024, @OoTheNigerian helped me land a job on Day 2 of Moonshot 2024, leading to a flurry of opportunities that have led me to where I am today. I'm grateful I didn't listen to my parents and I made the trip from Benin in 2024.
Today just made me more excited about my work and expectant for next year's. See you guys then. ✌🏽😊🧡
P.S. The merch this year was REALLY good, especially the tote bags! 🔥
P.S. (2) If we took pictures, please send them here (or on WhatsApp, if we share contacts). If not, I'll find you... 👀🤗

We got some great responses to this tweet, and I didn't expect the volume of early-stage startups that responded 🤯
People are building!
Given our streaming schedule, we can only accommodate 5 for this event.
This has given me the data I need to create a segment on my weekly show, Tech This Week, dedicated to early-stage startups—making the show a funnel for discovery among startups, users, and investors.
Please keep tagging your startups, and we'll be in touch to interview you on Tech This Week.
Thanks for your interest in tech 🚀
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
If you're an early-stage startup attending @moonshotbytc on Wednesday and Thursday, we'd love to interview you in person on our livestream about your startup!
Reply to this tweet and tag your company, and our Producer, @buniebuns, will reach out.
We typically have between 10,000-18,000 live viewers on our livestream, so that's a fantastic audience to speak to about what you're building.

the key to raising your rates is honestly just going above and beyond and nearly dying. by the time you do the work of $10k, and you nearly lose your life, you won’t be shy to ask for that $10k. No amount of ‘pricing’ YouTube videos can give you that conviction.
