I realized you’re not going to get all the support you need until you make it big without the support you need. Then everyone starts falling over themselves trying to support you...
Again, as a research methodology.
Go back to Twitter of 2010 to 2015.
Try and see the topics discussed here.
From 2016, Nigerians started discussing cows, grass, grazing, knives, machetes, kerosene.
Person wey sing:
"Bang your daddy, Bang your mummy, Bang everybody, Even bang your puppy"
Now them dong bang him banny💀
Who come be the Chihuahua wey dey make noise for pitbull fight for this matter?
Lmaooo.
There's only two reasons a man is asking his fellow man this.
- It is his first baddie,
- She carry am reach there gan - she knows how to spell coconut with both cheeks 😭
You have the 'star power' to order the same menu thrice. Why are you eating from the floor? 😭
I still remember the first time a grown man in his late 30s gathered I and my friends and with all seriousness, told us to borrow him N2.5m for his wedding.
The oldest among us was 20, and we were all in 100 level. First time I came across an intense delusion... LMAO
The Millennial Silence Problem
Why one of the most experienced generations on the internet stopped talking and what it's costing all of us.
Millennials are online more than ever. Scrolling at 2am, saving posts they'll never revisit, consuming reels endlessly. But they've stopped posting. Stopped writing, stopped making videos, stopped sharing what they know from years of actually doing the work.
An entire generation's worth of lived experience, pattern recognition, and hard won nuance is sitting in people's heads doing nothing for anyone.
In that silence, Gen Z took over the internet.
Not just the trends and aesthetics, the opinions. The frameworks. The "here's how the world works" content.
Career advice, financial advice, relationship advice, industry explainers.
They picked up the mic enthusiastically, confidently, and often without the context that only comes from having lived through enough cycles to know what you don't know.
A 22 year old with 8 months of work experience makes a confident video titled "Why your manager is gaslighting you" and gets 4 million views.
Meanwhile a 37 year old who's managed teams for a decade, navigated three downturns, hired and fired and been fired, has genuine scar tissue from real leadership mistakes, watches the video, thinks "this is so untrue," and says nothing. Posts nothing and does nothing. Everyone loses. The creator never gets a thoughtful counterpoint. What's worse is the audience builds mental models from a sample size of one.
There's a term for what's happening and it's called premature authority. Speaking with the certainty of an expert from the experience base of a beginner.
Financial advice from people who've never lived through a real crash with actual money at stake.
Career advice from people who've had two jobs.
Parenting content from people who don't have children, repackaging attachment theory PDFs as lived wisdom.
The production quality is high. The confidence is high.
What's missing is the depth that only comes from having been wrong enough times.
Algorithms don't measure depth of experience. They measure engagement.
A confident, slightly provocative take from someone with zero context will outperform a nuanced "well, it depends" take from someone who's actually seen both sides every single time. And millennials know this. Which is partly why they don't post. They think "my take is too complicated for a reel." So they say nothing. And the reductive version wins by default.
This isn't theoretical.
People are making career decisions based on LinkedIn posts written by people who've had one job.
Financial decisions based on threads from people who started investing in a bull market and think that's just how it works.
Worldviews about politics, health, business, relationships all shaped disproportionately by people who haven't had the reps yet.
And the people who HAVE had the reps are right there in the audience, rolling their eyes, saying nothing.
Let me be clear, this is a millennial abdication problem.
Somewhere around 2018 to 2019, millennials collectively decided that posting was cringe. That it was for "influencers."
They retreated into group chats and dinner table rants that go nowhere.
They became the generation of "I could write a whole post about this" but never does.
By stepping back, they didn't opt out of the attention economy. They handed the microphone to whoever was willing to pick it up.
Your silence isn't noble. You have lessons, frameworks, stories of failure and recovery that could change how someone navigates a hard decision.
Every day you don't share it, someone else fills that gap with something shinier but thinner.
You don't need to become an influencer.
You don't need to post daily.
Just occasionally write down something you know to be true from experience that you don't see anyone else saying.
The internet doesn't need more content. It needs more lived content.

@HerbalistChief Can we start making fun of one famous genocidal country in the Middle East who continues committing crimes against humanity in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and other places. Maybe, just maybe they will get deleted from the storyline, too and no more babies will be killed.
Wrote so many nonsense without addressing the core issue. ARE YOUR PRODUCTS CHEAPER IN NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES, YES OR NO?
Case in point; Cement, Fertilizer, and now PMS
The Yahoo Boys aren't just scammers — they're status symbols. Carlos Barragan's new book explores how online fraud became a pathway to wealth, fame and influence in Nigeria. https://t.co/gkLw6aoZti
@JustYoshen@grok@ArizonaJTG@RT_com Grok is just an amplifier of western talking point & that is the main goal of Ai. to push western narrative since social media destroyed all their lies.
See how it claims Jordan's military statement as fact while IRGC as false.
Anyone who takes these AI bots seriously is a joke
23Kbps is crazy in the era of 4/5G. Yet we only complain and after a while adapt as we have with total darkness.
By the election season in 2027, INEC will say the network is too slow hence they can't upload to IRev and then use that pretext to rig the election again.
WAKE UP!!
Listen people, I think the slow Internet across Nigeria by the telecom operators is deliberate... These thieving politicians play the long game by first laying the groundwork.
Le laxisme dont fait preuve Poutine dans le traitement de cette guerre est incompréhensible. Comment se fait il qu’il y ait encore une usine de fabrication de drones debout en Ukraine? Qu’attend la Russie pour bombarder les pays qui livrent du matos à Zelensky? Trop de bavardage!
I wish every country in Africa will have men like this man, bold & fearless, and collectively we can send the colonizers out of our continent.
Love his tone & clear message
The end of the US empire as we know it and very high oil prices.
You can't blockade the strait because the Iranians will blow the US Navy ships and they know not to even come close to the strait by 500kms.
Tough talk and shit. We will watch how this plays out
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump orders the US Navy to "seek and interdict" every ship in international waters that paid a toll to Iran.
"No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas."
