The Tribe



Chapter 1

If you wanna grow a brand

You must move people from customers/clients/friends to a tribe(community).

Quit settling for a hundred likes and feeling like a celebrity

The true celebrity is smiling home to the bank, quietly.

A 100 likes does not equal a hundred grand in your account.

But 1 like can lead and open you to thousands of dollars worth of opportunity.

But be careful who you move.

It's like an APC die hard fan moving a PDP loyalist to his party gathering.

Or a Titian trying to pull a Mercy supporter to their get-together.

You can imagine the outcome.

You must pull people who agree with your ideology.

The people you have are the people you are...in other words, they Mirror and reflect you.

The people you have are the principles you hold dear.

This is true when you have moved them from customer or client to tribe and community.

The attribute and idealogy you are is what you will use to poach and invite people.

A wise CEO was asked during an interview to reveal how he trains his workers to be good.
His response was legendary.

He said, "We don't train or teach our workers to be good...we hire good people."

Define your tribe.

Until you have a definition, the message will remain unclear.

You must have a well defined tribe and talk to them, else you are preaching to the choir.

Don't spend productive time trying to convince or teach someone to understand you

Communicate to those who share your beliefs and ideas.

Something brings the ant...sugar.

The sugar is the message you are!

The word and content told differently, succinctly and enthusiastically.

The fastest way to build a tribe, is to have a solid vibe and know those who are a tuned to your frequency.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

I hate my Job

Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...

Riotous Love

I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
