She wakes up at 4 am to cook. By noon, everything is sold out. Still, she sat across from me and said, “Oga Ayo, I dey sell but I no dey move.”. That’s the reality for too many business owners. They’re working hard, but the money isn’t showing. We built the Caladium SME

As far as I'm concerned, ADC of today is same as APC of 2015. Same type of coalition, same objective, same motive, same type of politicians. Dogmatism in politics is refusing to see or admit the obvious even when it stares at you in your mirror.

There is a genuine cause of excitement amongst many young working class. 10years is a whole new generation of middle class who emerged from 2015 and have never had the opportunity to use their cards. Let people celebrate what they wanna. Nigeria must not only be a center of doom.

What is this fake excitement about Nigerian cards being used for international transactions? Didn't we have this prior to 2015? LOL. We just like to specialise in nonsense.

Let’s be honest. Many businesses in Nigeria are running on vibes. No systems. No documentation. No clear pricing. Just hustle, prayers, and borrowed data. But that is not how you build something that lasts. If you are serious about turning your hustle into a real, structured.

Apparently there is a Place or a Tribe in Cameroon called Bamenda that seem to have some really Amazing women. About 5 of my US based friends have married from there with Zero regrets. Are there any Nigerians on my TL that have married a Bamendan? What is your experience? 🥰💝🇨🇲.

Twitter has become so toxic with so with bile that it's made many of us become ashamed to share our backgrounds and humble stories for fear of being dragged. But they're what makes us who we are. @UnclePamilerin came on The Failure Diaries and told a story that hit hard. In the

Whatever you do in life, NEVER fly Max Air. A 5:40pm flight is just taking off at 1:30am. No explanations, no engagements, no professionalism, no staff in sight. Just plain, arrogant, senseless behaviour from an airline that has no business flying humans.

It is only in Nigeria that I know in the whole world, where cows roam freely and block traffic right on the road in the middle of the nation's capital and in front of arguably one of the most important tourist destinations in the town. Right in front of Transcorp!!! Haba!

If the government says the economy is improving at the macro level but Nigerians are still hungry, broke, and struggling, then something isn’t adding up. Macro data is supposed to reflect real momentum at the micro level. If inflation is dropping and GDP is rising, people should.

It’s that micro economy the common man feels ! And till it works omo they haven’t done well in my books ! Some will argue the Marco has to look better for micro to be felt but abeg it’s taking too long and seems they don’t have a clue on what to do on the micro economy. Also we.

Too many fights at work start from one thing: nothing was documented. You think your boss promised something; they don’t remember. You’re sure your colleague agreed to a plan; they say otherwise. Sometimes it’s a matter of integrity. But many times, it’s just forgetfulness. In

If you’re running a business in Nigeria or trying to stay afloat in this economy, you can’t afford to ignore the new tax reforms. We’re talking zero company tax for small businesses earning under ₦50 million, PAYE exemptions for low-income earners, and no VAT on essentials like.

I had my very first job before NYSC, was working on very interesting stuff and having a nice time traveling west africa. Yet when NYSC came, I went to camp, enjoyed every moment and made incredible friends. Part of living is knowing that every phase of it deserves to be enjoyed.

I have an unpopular opinion that people who enjoy NYSC camp most often have nothing else going on in their life prior to NYSC.

Too many founders are building in silence, hoping the money will follow. But here’s the truth: passion is not a business model, and hard work without clarity is a fast route to burnout. In this week’s letter, I unpack a hard truth: many entrepreneurs, artists, and hustlers are.
