LEGENDARY J.O.E

Golden pen with the ink from the gods, silver tongue forged in Yonder, I'm a Gift that won't stop Giving. SHALL I BEGIN?
SA to the Speaker HOR on New Media.

[LEGENDARY J.O.E @LegendaryJoe]

The Informal sector accounts for over 90% of employed Nigerians. Meaning of every 10 Nigerian working today, 9 of them are in the informal sector.

Our labour force estimates employed Nigerians to be about 80 million Nigerians. And of those, over 71 million earn their livelihood in the informal sector. They are the heartbeat of the streets - the resilient souls frying akara, roasting bole, turning kulikuli, the masterful artisans, and the tireless transport workers, etc.

​Do you still think the First Lady was blind to reality for considering an economy that accommodates 71 million Nigerian working adults? Or is your intellectual lens simply too narrow to capture this towering truth?

This same Informal Sector moves mountains, contributing over 50% of Nigeria’s GDP. The collective economic force of the akara sellers, danfo drivers, and roadside carpenters matches the heavyweight worth of your Dangotes, Otedolas, and Elumelus. The informal sector contribute as much as the banks, insurance companies, Flutterwave, etc to the productive capital of this nation.

Do you honestly suggest an economic engine driving half of our GDP is useless and unworthy of empowerment? Or are you just being too mischievous to admit the uncomfortable fact?

As much as we may want to progress in delusion on X that we are all billionaires, the data serves a sobering cup of reality.

Between 10–15% of our working population earn no income.

​About 66% earn below ₦50,000.

​85.4% earn below ₦100,000.

Yet, you sit in comfort and tweet that a ₦50K – ₦100K grant - not a loan, but free capital - is an "insult" to Nigerians. It appears you are the actual insult to our national conversation.

And these harsh climates, if you must know, are not recent storms conjured by this administration; they have always been our lived realities. Have you forgotten so soon? There was a time in this very country when rice was a sacred luxury, reserved only for Sundays and festive celebrations.

Ohok! I get your arguments!

We are in the 21st century, and we should be speaking the language of Silicon Valley - AI, coding, programming, and space exploration - not soiling our hands in the "primitive" mixture of Akara and Kulikuli...

​In one breath, we crucify our leaders for being too elitist, accusing them of only serving the privileged. Yet, in the very next breath, we, the followers, commit the exact same sin, speaking in condescending tone about the masses.

Now, let me hold up a mirror to show you just how far detached from reality you truly are...

About 70 Million Nigerians have no formal education - They cannot code or consult Chatgpt. Should they be excommunicated as citizens because they didn't attend school?

​A responsible government builds a roof wide enough to cover both the privileged and the less privileged. A sensitive leader constructs an ecosystem that favors not just the wealthy few, but, in fact, lifts up the vulnerable many.

That Akara woman said she only needed N12,000 to establish her Akara business and makes an average of N5,000 daily profit. That is about N150,000 every month. Ask your suit and tie friend if he makes as much. But you think they should be quarantined in obscurity just because they lack corporate sophistication and do not speak the Queen's English.

You are not bright.

Good Evening Severally...

@felix_mickenson @LegendaryJoe Be deceiving yourself 😂

@EhisBukason @LegendaryJoe "children of defective placentas and cancerous uteri - those whose umbilical cords were buried in malice - never ceased to exhibit their acute poverty of home training"

You responded to prove him you know he's talking about you and your people. You proved him right 🤣😂

[LEGENDARY J.O.E @LegendaryJoe]

For years, Daddy G.O stayed away from politics and the toxic intrigues of governance, choosing strictly to tend to his ministerial assignment.

Yet, children of defective placentas and cancerous uteri - those whose umbilical cords were buried in malice - never ceased to exhibit their acute poverty of home training.

And now, the patriach of faith had come out to acknowledge the efforts of the government in tackling insecurity, inspired hope in the people that the days of mourning are close to an end and spoke optimism and positivity.

Ekukes - you mongrels of mischief - what will you do now that you haven’t already exhausted from your shallow well of malice?

Boycott the church? The Ocean does not miss a drop of rain.

Slander his calling on your struggling platforms? The wind cannot soil the sky, no matter how hard it blows.

Or blackmail his holy mountain - The Redemption Camp. Try pulling down a rock with a cobweb.

Dear Nattering Nitwits, Over to you. Kindly do your absolute worst.

You cannot block the light of a city set upon a hill with the smoke of your petty envy.

[Dare Adeniyi @oludare_adeniyi]

@LegendaryJoe Our brother is a charlatan, supported mostly by clowns who think nobody should be frying akara or selling kuli-kuli in "big 2026".

We really do have a crisis of classism and abject lack of depth and critical thinking on our hands.

[LEGENDARY J.O.E @LegendaryJoe]

He doesn't meet Obi. Obi meets him. No one of political mettle visits our brother.

[NIYI LAND💥 @Oluwani06205888]

@LegendaryJoe How do you relate with someone that said new roads should stop because he went to take pictures of the road under rehabilitation. It shows the man doesn't think deeply therefore Dickson is looking at 2031, and Kwakawaso will be better material.

[Stockman @StockmanNigeria]

👍👍👍👍

The strongest opinions are those guided by FACTS, not affiliations. If something deserves praise, acknowledge it. If it deserves criticism, say so. That's intellectual honesty-- kudos to Pa Adeboye

Like the stock market, credibility is built on consistency. If you praise good earnings and criticize poor results, people will trust your judgment. The same principle should apply to governance.

[LEGENDARY J.O.E @LegendaryJoe]

[OPEOLUWA 😎😎 @OpeBee]

You have met RMK more than you have met Obi.

Is RMK the presidential candidate of NDC?

[OD @OmofomaEric]

The akara seller, kulikuli seller, tomato and pepper trader, roasted corn seller, and many small business operators are part of Nigeria’s informal sector, which employs a very large share of Nigerians and serves as the backbone of daily economic activity. Many estimates suggest that around 80–90% of employment is in the informal economy.

@LegendaryJoe @ruffydfire ....can you empirically digest this post or you don't have data? Your fellow Zombidients will crowd fund for you, ok? Olemalekun severally 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

You just dealt a deadly blow to their imagination....
Kudos to you

@LegendaryJoe They are all unreasonable people.

@LegendaryJoe Is just that this is politics or should i say we publicize everything, the first lady knows the people she was talking to.

@LegendaryJoe One of those defective placentas is one idiot from Odoogbolu in Ijebu. An idiot who remains a bachelor at close to 50. An imbecile who ought to be in zoo romancing gorilla's which he used the better part of his life to study but unfortunately found himself on the screen.
