Why Thematrixbuster?
Why the matrix buster?
From the inception of the idea of this platform, I always envisioned using it as a community for people going through their own personal awakening, especially kids in Africa. A place for people to share their unique stories, access resources, learn, debate and grow together along their journey of self-discovery and development. To allow other great thinkers to know that they are not crazy for thinking differently, feeling differently about stuff and seeing things differently from others.
The problem:
Here in Nigeria, a lot of bright children grow up with parents with limiting beliefs due to their level of education, exposure and access to resources. In an environment largely motivated by poverty and survival, great ideas and personalities are usually abandoned for “safe” ideas and personalities. Most people believe they cannot afford to take risks or dare to be different and as such, would conform to whatever seems like the safest choice being made by the general society. Even if this choice doesn’t lead them to their highest potential. The few ones within our society that are resilient enough to choose to stand out usually become labeled and challenged by everyone else following the general pattern. This “everyone else” most times will include everyone they (should) love and care about. Their parents, siblings, family members, neighbors, teachers, colleagues, and even their friends. This is why sustaining an awakening long enough for one to see it’s fruits manifest is one of the greatest achievements and measurements of faith in life. Because through every journey of awakening to your true self, you will face great opposition from the people you would expect the most support and validation from. It is what makes a lot of people to doubt their dreams, believe they are on the wrong path, burn out from defending themselves and ultimately give up on themselves and the journey of their awakening. This is why the great awakenings within our society must be celebrated. The Davido’s, Asa’s, Chimamanda’s, Lynxxx’s and Israel Adesanya’s. The people that saw another way from themselves and followed that path even when the people around them couldn’t see where it was leading to. It is no surprise they tend to make a significant impact on their communities.
Creative kids raised by conformist parents will face a lot of challenges regarding their freedom of self-expression within their own family but it is how they ultimately respond to these challenges that will lead to their awakening. I never had mentors or older people in Nigeria I could reach out to when I was going through my own awakening.
The solution
I want this platform to be a community for all kids now and in the future to find their tribe regardless of whatever stage of their awakening they are in.
I look forward to going on this amazing journey with you all! I will use the platform to share my awakening story in depth! And I will get stories from my friends and many other great thinkers within our global society!
Welcome onboard matrix busters!
One love
