I am adding this to the list of reasons I have stopped using @chowdeck (I cancelled my chowpass subscription recently).
I don’t believe we should be giving money to brands that do not have regard for customers as evidenced by how their dispatch riders have become more uncouth and bold that there will be no consequences.
More importantly, I don’t think we should be giving money to brands who weaponise the law to oppress people.
The culture around creative collaboration has really changed.
When I started out in makeup, a bunch of us would get together and do shoots for no reason other than to have things to show people. We’d get a photographer, someone who needed clothes, a model trying to be a model, a hair stylist if we could find one and whoever else.
You’d shoot in someone’s house and then go out and say “I did this shoot for this brand” but we know it’s just five broke creatives. Built up an amazing portfolio that way.
Lately, I’m watching conversations on here with young creatives and they all wanna be paid (often unreasonably high) for work they haven’t actually practiced even when it’s their fellow creative at the same stage of life asking.
It doesn’t help that with how APC has destroyed the economy, everyone is basically a gig worker.
Young creatives need to go back to artistic collaborations with their peers; without expecting immediate renumeration. A few established people might take a chance on you with no portfolio but most won't.

They still wouldn't have chosen Peter Obi even if he was from the deepest mountain in Ekiti state.
It has nothing to do with tribe and more to do with their love for incompetence, unqualified, unfit, corrupt and useless people like themselves.
A Nigerian politician will steal all the money they can possibly steal and still owe people who offer service to them. The most useless set of men on the planet. Horny thieves.
Mind you the reason they don't have light is because the students protested a sudden increase in school fees, the governor's wife at the time got mad, that they blocked her convoy and had them removed the student's transformers, since then...
You see my tweet about how "privileged" Nigerians need to stop talking about how the average Nigerian should react to their plight.
This tweet is a typical example, to this dunderhead, $1500 is not a lot of money, because in his head, Nigeria starts and end with him, and that's how the average "privileged" Nigerian thinks. It's why most of them find it easy to pitch their tent with someone like Tinubu, they don't care if the rest of the country burns, if they're okay, Nigeria is okay.
My shawarma plug closed down because he couldn’t continue the business again. I’ve been looking for my puff puff man, I don’t even know where he is.
The economy is dealing with every freaking person.
We keep working not to better our lives but to at least survive the economy and day by day at that.
Better wake up and shine your eyes.
1 year and 4 more days to election.
As a child I used to spend time praying for NEPA to supply electricity, like this is what I was spending my miracle asks on while other kids in other countries where spending their time gaining knowledge and reaching resourceful applications.
Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed. You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.
You don’t campaign after spending 4 years in Power. Your work should speak for you.
The people should vote for you.
We are enjoying uninterrupted power supply.
We are enjoying good road network.
Nigeria has the best hospitals.
We have water at our disposal.
WE WILL VOTE FOR YOU. DON’T WORRY.
Mann this Goat of a president legit said “if I don’t give you constant electricity do not vote for me next time” and you people are still campaigning for him.
Come r you people madddd???😭😭😭
