went to ebano, one of my favourite places in the world (you should start your december shopping there now btw). was at the fruit section getting my usual tangerines and cucumbers. you know the drill: put your fruits in a bag, get them weighed and tagged at the back, then pay at the front.
there was a guy looking for avocados and ube pears. you could tell he was shopping for someone, maybe a runner or a chowdeck order. no avocados, but he got the pears.
by the time i got to the counter, he walked up holding the pears in his hand, skipped the line and put them straight on the counter while they were still tagging my things. the cashiers were visibly irritated but nobody said anything.
so i told him, "i'll go first, then you go next. but first you need to bag them and get them tagged by the guy at the back." he went, came back with them bagged but not tagged. i showed him the tag on my tangerine bag and explained again. he went back, got them tagged, came back and dropped them in front of me again 😭 (please don't ask me questions, i buy a lot.) i told him again, "when they're done with me, they'll do yours."
he took it all in stride. no attitude. then a song came on and i started dancing, he started dancing too, and everybody burst out laughing. for like 3 seconds the cashiers forgot they were looking at him weird.
what stayed with me is that common sense isn't common, especially for the basic things. we all grew up differently. in a regular market, if you queue you're the mumu. you stand around the seller and everybody gets attended to. then you enter a space with different rules, and some people know them only because someone taught them without embarrassing them.
i had almost the same moment at old english with a man who looked like he should "know better." i told him the same thing, that they'd attend to him after me so he didn't need to stand in front of me. he started barking like a dog. and you just know that's part of why he was frustrated in the first place. you can't go far if you won't take correction about something as small as order.
that's the difference between those two men. we lose so many chances to teach each other and bond when we expect what we know to be common sense, and when we're too proud to take feedback. life isn't that hard. we complicate it when we demand things of a world we're not even willing to build.

Everybody wants to talk now like they knew Burna would have the kind of momentum he is having now😅
The same Burna that was left out of a whole lot of conversations in the for a better part of the 2010s..The focus was always Wiz and David
If we are all being honest..This momentum Burna has now was largely unpredictable and unlikely (Only Burna and Aunty Bose actually believed and anticipated this moment)...Nobody should start forming like they knew all along
Sometimes the biggest mistake you can make in business is being too rational when you’re standing in front of a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Nothing Peedi is saying here is necessarily wrong. Key man risk is real. Building your entire business around one person can be dangerous.
But bro, sometimes you’re standing in front of a one-of-one. One in a million. The kind of talent you might never encounter again in your lifetime.
And when you recognize that, you have to be willing to make a bet that might look completely irrational to everyone else.
Some of the greatest returns you’ll ever get in life come from concentrating your time, energy and resources on the right people and letting that investment compound. In business, friendships, relationships, everything.
I understand Peedi's reasoning completely. But there’s a difference between managing risk and recognizing an extraordinary opportunity.
Burna Boy was one of those opportunities.
Una too Dey talk …..
