Guys, make we reason this together 👇
Yesterday I ran 11 trips across Lagos
⏱️ Total time: 11hrs 9mins
💰 Made: ₦80k (approx)
⛽ Fuel: ₦40k
📉 E-hailing commission: ₦7k
Reality check… the profit no really loud like that 😅
Big issue be this 👇
After drop-offs, I dey always drive back empty
Last night: from Lekki to Ojo — no passenger 😔
Na straight fuel loss
So now I’m thinking…
Is this hustle really worth it like this?
Or na strategy I need adjust? 🤔
My people, what do you think?
Any driver here wey sabi how to avoid empty return?
Drop your advice 🙏💯
All three Dangote daughters are directors in Dangote Group but that's not the point.
Studying at Nile University made me understand how much of NEPO privilege has to be earned, or at the very least, must seem so.
These kids are sent to the best schools, have the best coaches, are pressured on some level to have decent academic performances, directed to take certain super-curriculars, and earn certain certifications, while most of us on the other end feel that the BSc is enough headache.
It was a period of disillusionment for me. And of course, I don't discount the extent to which wealth makes such qualifications accessible. But I also don't discount the work ethic that must be put in to ensure that they earn or seem to earn their places.
Why is this necessary? Well, when your parent’s organization is big enough, there are investors and directors whose votes of confidence matter. There are shareholders too. So, in addition to being the owner’s seed, you must come off as qualified. Else, you ruin all your parent has built.
That’s why I saw this picture and smiled when I did my background check. Three of Dangote’s daughters, Fatima, Halima, and Mariya, are directly involved in the running of the Dangote Group: one as Executive Director, Communications; another as Executive Director, Operations; and the other, formerly in charge of the Group’s Strategy, is now part of the Board.
And when you check their profiles, you can see the fit: MBA at Coventry University, University of Surrey, MBA at Webster Graduate School, and touches of Harvard Business School, etc.
They do prepare for their opportunities. And if there is a message for us, for the signal and substance it represents, it is this: don’t joke with your education. That’s a luxury even the wealthy cannot afford.
#HappyNewYear2026
As the sun rises on 2026, we extends a warm & prosperous New Year to our entire community. We enter this year with a renewed sense of purpose & a deep gratitude for the vibrant ecosystem of workers, employers, & policymakers who make our mission possible.
In Nigeria, casualisation is a growing concern, with many workers being hired on short-term contracts or as "contract staff" without access to benefits, job security, or career advancement opportunities. #workplace#employment#nigeria
This Bill could transform Nigeria's labour landscape by creating digital jobs & fostering inclusivity, but success hinges on addressing displacement & equity gaps. If implemented effectively, it positions our youth for a competitive global workforce.

Decent work involves opportunities for work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace, and social protection for families. In Nigeria, this concept is currently a central tension point between policy ambition and economic reality.
Negotiate Salary Strategically
Research market rates & negotiate based on the value you offer, not just your personal financial needs.

DECLARATION OF NATIONWIDE SECURITY EMERGENCY & RECRUITMENT OF ADDITIONAL ARMY AND POLICE PERSONNEL
Fellow Nigerians,
Today, in view of the emerging security situation, I have decided to declare a nationwide security emergency and order additional recruitment into the Armed Forces.
By this declaration, the police and the army are authorised to recruit more personnel. The police will recruit an additional 20,000 officers, bringing the total to 50,000.
Although I had previously approved the nationwide upgrade of police training facilities, the police authorities are, by this statement, authorised to use various National Youth Service Corps camps as training depots.
The officers being withdrawn from VIP guard duties should undergo crash training to debrief them and deliver more efficient police services when deployed to security-challenged areas of the country.
The DSS also has my authority to immediately deploy all the forest guards already trained to flush out the terrorists and bandits lurking in our forests. The agency also has my directive to recruit more men to man the forests. There will be no more hiding places for agents of evil.
My fellow Nigerians, this is a national emergency, and we are responding by deploying more boots on the ground, especially in security-challenged areas. The times require all hands on deck. As Nigerians, we should all get involved in securing our nation.
Let me take this moment to commend our security agencies for working together to secure the release of the 24 schoolgirls in Kebbi and the 38 worshippers in Kwara State. We will continue to sustain the efforts to rescue the remaining students of Catholic School in Niger State and other Nigerians still being held hostage.
To the leadership and rank and file of our Armed Forces, I commend your courage and your sacrifice. This is a challenging moment for our nation and for the military institution itself. I charge you to remain resolute, to restore peace across all theatres of operation, and to uphold the highest standards of discipline and integrity. There must be no compromise, no collusion, and no negligence. The Nigerian people are counting on you, and this administration will provide the support you need to succeed.
