https://youtu.be/nk_UdhaVAUc Still Establishing Myself Well that was an interesting year. Nothing like how I expected or initially wanted it to turn out. It was the year that I really tried to establish myself in Nigeria. I think that I mostly accomplished that. Though it was a painful endeavor. This is a hardship country after all …

https://youtu.be/xBXxLg8Q1Hw Cash Is Decisions One is oft to hear the saying, cash is King because what is cash really?

‘When the Ends Doesn’t Justify the Means’ Kingston’s Journey #159
https://youtu.be/QkIUwWCD11Q Some things never change. People want to survive and people want to reproduce. And we will always have segments of society that will go to surprising means to survive.

‘When To Respect Your Limits’ Kingston’s Journey #158
https://youtu.be/Vl8q_qOZOBg Pushing Against Limits So I learned how to swim this year. More or less anyways with a buddy of mine teaching me. It's another limit surpassed.

https://youtu.be/sr7RsvEKqjo Are Cities as Productive as They Seem? I've spent a lot of time in big cities and having done so, you observe the hecticness of it all.

‘Self Respect’ Kingston’s Journey #153
https://youtu.be/olPwMjZduaQ One Needs to Reciprocate There is always a quid pro quo. The essence of this term is you do something for me & I do something for you. It's a matter of pooling resources to advance common interests. Like a pot luck, everyone eats, but I may like fish and you may like chicken. …
