Good People, let me thank you all for taking me above 120k followers at LinkedIn. That is now a city, well more than a village. And all connections are natural and organic, by looking at the level of engagement. Thank you!
My experience in LinkedIn can teach someone something: I joined around 2007 while in grad school. I posted something on a small scholarship I received. Someone said I was showing off. I deleted my account as I could not understand the attack.
Then a friend asked me to come back. I came back, and I wrote an article, and another person said he was telling us he was “smart”. I deleted my account again. But at the end, in 2016/17, I rejoined and decided to manage the bad species: fire for fire! Lol

This is the message: you need to be in charge of your mission. Do not allow anyone to dictate it. And if you have not followed Ndubuisi Ekekwe, make this place a better place by following me. FOLLOW.
FOLLOW Is The Only Option
More so, as I celebrate the 120k great Followers here, I also need to drop this hard fact: once you hit 30k direct connections on LinkedIn, you will be unable to add new users, even though the users can send you friend requests. I have about 3,600 pending friend requests but I cannot accept any as I have reached the maximum allowed in LinkedIn technology. Those will expire in weeks and another will build!
So, do not waste your time sending me a friend request as I do not even check that section.
But there is something amazing: my profile allows anyone to inmail me which means we do not need to be connected for you to reach us. Just FOLLOW Ndubuisi Ekekwe and you can message me, connected or not.
