Messi didnโt need Qatar to be the GOAT. But be honest; as a Messi fan, can you imagine if it never happened? A world where Messi never lifted that trophy?

Lagos generated internally revenue worth more than 3.6X its FAAC allocation. While Ogun, Enugu and Kano also generated more than their allocated FAAC.
Note: FCT and Rivers were excluded because they had no published FY2024 audited accounts by the June 2026 cut-off, while Yobe and Zamfara were excluded due to insufficient citizen survey responses.
Self reliance rate = IGR/FAAC

Whenever I criticize a government I support, many of its supporters come at me hard.
Some even forget their home training and hurl all sorts of insults. ๐คฃ
The funny part is that the government often ends up responding or making the exact changes I advocated for.
And when that happens, the same people who attacked me suddenly join me in thanking the government for taking the action I prescribed in the first place.
One popular opinion I completely disagree with is:
"Money can't buy happiness."
I disagree because, while money may not guarantee happiness, it can solve many problems that cause stress and hardship.
It can provide good healthcare, quality education, decent housing, security, and opportunities that improve one's quality of life.
Money alone isn't everything, but having enough of it can make the pursuit of happiness much easier.
What's one popular opinion you disagree with?
Ire oo.
Iโll give you 10.
1. Buy a car before you build a house.
2. Start investing now. Even if itโs just โฆ10,000 every single month. Give it 10 years and youโll thank yourself.
3. Never spend money to please anybody. Spend only when it's needed. Know the difference between needs and wants.
4. Invest in your future, not in validation. Donโt buy the latest iPhone just so people can see you have money. A smartphone is a smartphone.
5. Live on 70% of your salary. The other 30% goes strictly into savings and investments. No excuses.
6. Stop womanizing. Find one good woman and stay loyal. Womanizing costs far more than you think.
7. Never engage in fraud. Youโll only destroy your future. Dirty money will cost you your peace and your health.
8. If you earn โฆ100k a month, your rent should never exceed โฆ100โ150k. You shouldnโt have to save for months just to pay rent. One monthโs salary (or one and a half at most) should cover it.
9. Invest in mutual funds.
10. Invest in good books. Read financial books. Here are 10 I recommend:
- The Richest Man in Babylon - George S. Clason
- Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
- The Psychology of Money โ Morgan Housel
- I Will Teach You To Be Rich โ Ramit Sethi
- The Millionaire Next Door โ Thomas J. Stanley
- Think and Grow Rich โ Napoleon Hill
- Your Money or Your Life โ Vicki Robin
- The Intelligent Investor โ Benjamin Graham
- Atomic Habits โ James Clear (money is built on habits)
- A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel
Above all, love God.
Q DEVELOPER OF LAGOS FOUND DOING ANYHOW IN GHANA!
A concerned Ghanaian man confronted some Nigerian phone accessories sellers who were operating by the roadside at Circle and directed them to vacate the area, citing safety concerns associated with roadside trading.
๐ฅ: Ghana Diary
I travelled on this road in 2021 on our way from Lagos to Warri for a burial. We went in two cars. That night, one of the vehicles was attacked by armed thieves along this route. They smashed the windscreen, but the driver kept going until we reached Warri safely.
That experience is why comments like, โNa road we go chop?โ always annoys me.
People across the country have endured enormous hardship because of poor road infrastructure and insecurity. When people celebrate the construction or rehabilitation of roads, they are not celebrating asphaltโthey are celebrating safer journeys, reduced travel time, lower transport costs, easier movement of goods, and the comfort and dignity that better infrastructure brings to everyday life.
This guy reminds me of my younger self.
Finished top of his class from Chemical Engineering OAU. 4.81/5.00
Won similar awards.
This is his third time applying to the @MtScholarships
He's one leg in to the Class of 2026.
Alhaji Dubai is the first person on earth to accuse OBJ of tribalism. The OBJ that supported Obi against Tinubu, Shagari against Awolowo and Shehu Yar'adua against MKO Abiola!
Remember Atiku in your prayers ๐
The Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade I, has departed for Canada following an invitation to attend the Yoruba Festival Manitoba 2026, scheduled for Saturday, July 25, where he is expected to join other traditional rulers in celebrating and promoting Yoruba culture and heritage.
I saw one video on someone's WhatsApp status that made me laugh wild all day. ๐
A secondary school girl was debating why Garri is better than rice ๐๐
Her confidence and stage presence with punchline.
Who has the video? ( I couldn't save)
โPresident Jonathan recorded one abduction. I also recorded one as Governor. As President, there will be zero abductionsโ
- Peter Obi, NDC Presidential candidate.
Over 200 youths were abducted and killed under Peter Obi.
If you didnโt come from a rich and wealthy family, what is your plan to be rich and wealthy?
This is one of the most important first date questions you should be asking your potential partner(s). Not whatโs your favourite food and colours.
In the first republic, Yoruba people were going to school while Arewa were massively enlisting in the army.
It is those with guns that will control and rule those with books.
This is why Yoruba youths must prioritise going into the army and other paramilitary organisations.
Books are useless in the face of guns.
During my NYSC, I worked as an accountant for a cocoa merchant.
A few months in, my boss offered me a full-time job, but I declined.
Shortly after I resumed, he told me there had been persistent theft in the cocoa store and asked me to investigate.
In his words: โAbi no be wetin accountant suppose sabi do?โ
I went through the records, reconciled the store activities, and eventually uncovered inconsistencies in the accounts. The numbers didnโt add up, and the evidence pointed to the two storekeepers. They have been stealing a lot.
I reported my findings to my boss, expecting him to handle it discreetly.
Instead, the next morning, he called everyone into a meeting and said:
โCorper Kunle, oya tell it to their face.โ
That was one of the most uncomfortable moments of my entire NYSC year. I honestly wasnโt prepared for that.
I believe @ruffydfire often presents or frame issues in a way that, in my opinion, distorts the facts and may mislead the public.
2: The Management of @ARISEtv should approve INDEPENDENT FACT-CHECKERS to also be in that show.
3: @nbcgovng should do their job simple.
