☝🏼 Meet Ayo, the latest member of our team. I just hired him as our official spokesperson. He is AI, so I don’t pay him anything yet, but I’m still thinking about it because of his vibes and dance steps. Anyway, just as he said, if you haven’t enrolled, you can join us tomorrow here: https://designthedecade.com/ If you’re facing payment issues, please send a WhatsApp message to Steve on +2349137505306 — J.O.

AI can (and should) put money in your bank account. But most AI tutorials online? Just cute to know. You don't walk away with a high-leverage SKILL you can IMMEDIATELY monetize. I mean… who will pay you to change jacket colors or edit pictures to look like you're in New York? Cute. But not monetizable. *So on November 18-19, we’re doing something different.* A FREE workshop focused ONLY on 3 AI skills people are actively paying for: ✅ *AI Ad Creatives* – Create scroll-stopping ads 10X better than Canva. No design skills needed. ✅ *AI Copywriting* – Sell any product with words that trigger buying intent. Even if you can't write copy. ✅ *Product Creation* – Build a ready-to-sell digital product using my system. No fluff. No party tricks. Just skills that pay. You’re the director. AI is your unpaid staff. Lock in your spot here: https://creatorlab.media/aia See you there. — J.O.

Pornography, pop culture and endless scrolling through a hyper-sexualized social media feed. None of it is accidental. It’s the architecture of a system designed to keep you drifting. It's profitable to everyone in the loop, except yourself. If you’ve been feeling drained, unfocused, or addicted to stimulation, this session will show you why… and perhaps suggest how to break free. None of this is your fault. Your desires have been engineered. Your impulses monetized. Your time converted into data and sold on the open market. All this time, you've been up against corporations with PhDs on their payroll. They know us better than we perhaps know ourselves. It’s time to stop being the product... and start being the producer of your own thoughts, actions and destiny. Please find your invite below. Date: Saturday 25th October, 2025 Time: 9pm, Nigeria Time Registration: https://obidi.co/eom See you there. — John Obidi

Tonight, we return to Night School with "The Game of Money Revisited". You see, words carry more meaning than meets the eye. And this is why as students of the Game of Life, we must be students of language. And as students of language, the first thing we must do when encountering a word is to determine its etymology (its origin), as well as its connotative and denotative meanings. Thanks for ChatGPT, we can now just throw that into a prompt. Anyway, back to money matters. The word 'Capital' comes from the Latin word 'Caput', meaning 'head'. And so English words that have anything to do with the head or leadership have it in them - Cap, Captain, Capital. It's used with respect to money because capital was historically considered the "head" or most important part of one's resources. So imagine being born into a country whose economic system is Capitalism, and you wait until your 30s to learn what it means, how it works and how you can bend it to your advantage. Tonight at Night School, we will correct that together. If you're already on the "Level Up Series" list, the link is in your email.

The wealthiest people in the world are not necessarily the smartest or most educated. This is not necessarily cliché. While intelligence certainly provides a noticeable edge, the most prosperous people seem to have some attributes in common. Leaning on intelligence alone will only make you a well paid employee/advisor of the wealthy, and not necessarily make you one of them. These include: - Adaptability: Regardless of how circumstances turn out, find a way to still get results. - ⁠Pragmatism: The ability to see the facts as they are and act on them, regardless of any emotional fantasies of how things ought to be - ⁠A strong bias for action, instead of getting stuck in analysis paralysis. If we fail, so be it. But if we win, partayyy! - ⁠Courage to just do things - ⁠Energy efficiency: Choosing to expend one’s life force on attempting only the biggest opportunities, industries and markets - ⁠Stamina for long distance races. Being able to persist in one direction for years until a big payoff. - ⁠Being comfortable with public scrutiny. Let people watch, let people talk. My will be done on earth! Wisdom might be the principal thing, allegedly. But it’s not the only thing. There are rich wise men and poor wise men. The rich ones have the above qualities in common. *Assignment for your private journal* In which of the above areas did you excel this past week? In which areas can you improve in this coming week? Rooting for you! — J.O. PS: New Money Weekend has been rescheduled for 11-13 July. Watch this space.

Prosperity, upward mobility, etc… are all made to look hard or out of reach for one reason - Capitalism. Scrutinize the word - Capitalism. Profit is made in Capitalizing on asymmetries in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Meaning… some people are meant to eat of the tree of knowledge, become aware… and then gatekeep it. The other naked humans, blissfully unaware of their innocence, will continue to exist in a lower consciousness, thinking it a privilege to serve the other class. It’s a food chain. Big eats small. Strong eats weak. Wise enslaves the ignorant. 1st world farms 3rd world 😊 Back to CAPITALISM. To *capitalize* on the idea that most humans do not know how the game of life works - its higher principles, hidden synchronicities and forbidden wisdom. There’s no ending the cycle. I’m not even interested. But what if you could learn the unwritten rules of the road? Well, that’s what we’re here for. Join me tonight at 9. Sign up here: https://obidi.co/levelup — J.O.

Young people struggle at life right from their choice of vocation at secondary school level. Unfortunately it’s not even the young person’s fault. They’re in the care of parents who should know better but don’t. The child’s problems begin there. For example, Little Tomiwa somehow fixes the radio at home. Mummy is happy and says Tomiwa will be an electrician. She proudly boasts about it to her middle class friends who also don’t know better. They cheer her on. Tomiwa is a kid and is therefore happy because mummy is happy. He affirms “Yay! I will be an electrician” He writes Jamb and fills in “Electrical Electronics” as his course of study. Choice of Uni - FUTO. 16 years later, Toyin is working as a bank teller. Whoever the new president is, is still on television blaming the opposition for the state of the country. He advises the youth to stop waiting for handouts, embrace agriculture and start farming yam… but his own kids are not on that farm. He promises that Nigeria will soon become the land of milk and honey. Patience, he urges. Yet another public speaker is on YouTube passionately calling on the youth to be patriotic and join hands to build the nation… while he secretly begs the German embassy for asylum. Tomiwa is not a quite a youth anymore. He’s seen it all. He’s tired. The mainland-island commute is taking its toll and he’s aging quicker than he ought to. Mum needs money for hospital bills while hinting that he needs to get married and give her grandchildren whilst she’s still alive. “Okay” he says, non confrontationally. He picks up his phone to read up “The ultimate guide to japa to Canada” Who knows? This might be it. He saw the ad on Facebook and took his chances on the info product. It was either that or attend yet another MLM presentation. A WhatsApp message from Bisi drops… “Heyyyyyy 😊” Wow. This hey dragged on for longer than the last time, armed with an emoji. Pineapple flavored greetings from Bisi are not free of charge. He reads it from notifications but won’t open it. He’s home now and there’s still no light. Nothing new. Just normal Band-B wahala. ——- In 2021, I taught a Night School series “The Game of Life”, only streamed live, not recorded. There, I properly defined the metaphysical nature and intent of poverty. And to close last year (‘24), we concluded the “Alchemy of Wealth” series. These teachings are what you needed before you turned 10. Going back to Tomiwa… how could he have lived differently? If his mother had been better educated or known of John Obidi, she wouldn’t have jumped to a conclusion of Electrician just because he showed some talent. She would have approached his choice of vocation from a place of power. If Tomiwa can put a radio together, he should learn how to organize and lead other geniuses who also know how to put radios together. He should learn to pull the wealth levers of his chosen industry - hiring, retaining and managing talent, filing patents, selling the idea of his craft to investors, customers and clients, etc. He should learn to fill his network, not with geniuses that put radios together, but with geniuses that also pull the levers of wealth in the previous paragraph. He would learn that life is designed to be a Ponzi scheme… and he should never be caught at the bottom of it. ——— The first Night School episode of the year is this Saturday.

The best thing about AI I’ve heard lately is “It’s like we’ve discovered a new continent with 10 billion people on it and they’re all geniuses and willing to work for free” The question is what profitable labors would you instruct AI to do for you? You’re talking about a tool that’ll help you conquer foreign markets and break new bounds of profitability. Financial struggle in 2025 literally makes no sense. There’s no one in the world more capable than me to show you the way. It ain’t bragging if it’s true. Watch the short video if you haven’t already: https://designthedecade.com

I will coach you for free! So I joked to my team that this one would fire your Business Consultant. To appreciate you for being a valued member of my community, I’ve created something I know you’ll love. Don't mind the subject line. You know it's not practical at scale, but see... I've created my AI-twin, in my image, intelligence and likeness, to consult for your business for free. This is not like some generic pdf created for broad appeal. It's a tool we designed to analyse your specific business situation and then provide: - Practical steps to make your business resilient, no matter what the economy throws at you. - Scalable growth strategies to help you hit those big revenue goals. - A game plan for working smarter (not harder) by using the right tools and approaches. It’s a simple form, takes just a few minutes, and you’ll get a full personalized report with advice you can actually use right away. Please pay attention to this part... I promise that this will change your life but I need you to do something important. The last 2 fields on the form (Problem Submission and Key Goals) require you to spend some time to provide the AI sufficient context. In order to get the most useful results, please write your heart out in those fields. For example, Problem Submission: I've been trying to hit x sales per month unsuccessfully. I've tried this strategy and that. I've attended this class and that. I suspect that the problem may actually be x or y, but I need professional advice. Key Goals: I'd like to start making x sales per week, expand to 5 countries namely..., as well as hit a revenue goal of x. You feel me? Okay here goes: https://obidi.co/aibiz You'll get an email response in 3-5 minutes. And yeah, Happy New Year. — john Obidi
