What he's essentially saying is that if no one starts you, no one can stop you—except yourself, if you choose to stop

[Davidovbiagele]

This video reaffirms again how that Layi is such a phenomenally brilliant person, He’s not just any random comedian or content creator. 👍 Hats 🎩 off to this guy

[walebant]

Layi is extremely intelligent. He implied he broke the first law of motion since the force that acted upon him was internal. What a guy!

[Lifegiver]

Can you hear how a "Comedian Content Creator" is speaking?? School is NOT a Thank you Lord.

[Abimbolaoliyidetv]

...afterall, greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world! Well done Layi

[opeyemiokediji]

An object at rest which was acted upon by an external force will keep on moving except stopped by another external force. But since the force that got him moving in the first place is internal, external forces can’t stop him. Only an internal force can that is, himself. At the end of the day, the only person that can stop you is you. Really insightful. Thank you!

Giving a ted speech is on my bucket list...one of these day....

My time is coming

"You are a Nigerian, there are a lot of external forces that would stop your ball in motion". This hits hard knowing how unbearably difficult it has become to survive in the country. May we never give up on our dreams🙏🏾.

[oniludesegun]

This validates the statement by E.W Kenyon “Nothing can stop a man who has in him the yeast to rise”

Excellent delivery layi

The entire state of Osun is proud of you brother, I am happy we are from the state.

[victoro-RD]

Really brilliant analogy and overall speech!
👏🏽 👏🏽

[jesseruck]

His perspective about the law of physics is phenomenal. Olwayiwola as a person, not a creative would obviously have unconventional approach to life.

[mcglovedcomedy]

"A man moved from within cannot be stopped by an external force, except he stops himself"!!! 💯💯 Wow! This is my take home.
Thanks Wasabi🥰

[adefemiadelusi]

As a scientist, I find this very brilliant.
