''Don't read to pass exams. Don't read to pass the time. Don't read to pass away. Read to open your mind. You should understand that your human mind is locked, and books are the keys that open it. The more you read, the more open-minded you are. And the more open-minded you are, the more good can enter your mind. And as the mind goes, so goes the man.''-Reno Omokri's post on X-Platform (2023).

''HOW TO SUCCEED AS A BLACK PERSON IN THE UK AND ELSEWHERE. As a black person in the UK, you have two barriers to break for you to succeed. You have to break the barriers of your skin color. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are prejudiced by it. The second barrier is an offshoot of the first. It is the barrier of the mind. It says “I am black and so, life will be difficult. I am black, I cannot get that position”. Many have died with that mindset without fulfilling their dreams. Today, I challenge you to break both barriers and leave your footprint on the sands of time. It is possible.''-Dele Olawanle's post on X-Platform (2023).

''When you are writing resumes or CVs for jobs, project your skills. Don't just list your degrees and think you have impressed potential employers. These guys are entrepreneurs. They want to see evidence. Degrees are evidence that you can cram and pass an exam. Skills are proof that you can actually do the job. A degree is like saying, 'I know how to drive'. Having a skill, on the other hand, is like saying 'I have driven before'. If you are the one to fill the vacancy, who will you choose?''-Reno Omokri's post on X-Platform (2023).

''Stop saying 'that is not fair'. Expecting fairness is one of the hallmarks of immaturity. Life is not fair. Life is life. Deal with the reality of life, not the illusion of fairness. Understand that there are facts of life. And those facts of life are realities. They do not have to be fair to you. They are just universal principles that apply to you and everyone else in life. God did not create life to be fair to you, or anybody. He created life for His own pleasure. He loved Jacob and hated Esau-Romans 9:13. Does that sound fair? But it is a reality. Deal with it. Some people who graduated after you will succeed before you. Your juniors may marry before you. The person you like may not like you back. And the ones who like you, you may not like back. Those are facts of life. Expectation that life should be fair leads to frustration. So, take the bitter with the better without going asunder!''-Reno Omokri's post on X-Platform (2023).
