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

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

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 ...
