In 2026, nobody wants to make real content anymore.
Everyone is chasing trends.
Everyone is talking about politicians.
Everyone is fighting for attention.
Meanwhile, loneliness is rising.
People are struggling to pay bills.
Relationships are falling apart.
People are exhausted.
I’ll say it:
The world feels like it’s gone to shit.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
We’re living in a strange time.
AI is changing jobs.
Housing is becoming unaffordable.
People are working harder and feeling poorer.
Governments keep changing rules.
The rich find loopholes.
Everyone else gets more paperwork.
Yet most of our timelines are arguing about the same recycled headlines.
Maybe I’m wrong, but it feels like we’re discussing everything except the things that are making everyday life harder.
Who else feels this?
Unpopular opinion:
“Validate your idea” is becoming overrated advice.
I’ve seen average products with incredible marketing win.
I’ve seen brilliant products die in silence.
In 2026, AI can help almost anyone build.
The bottleneck isn’t creation anymore.
It’s distribution.
After 8 years in sales, and present day in tech, I’m convinced founders should spend less time learning how to code and more time learning how to sell.
Nobody buys what they never see.
What’s your take?
After 16+ years living across Europe (including Portugal), I keep coming back to one uncomfortable truth:
Nigeria is not lacking potential. It is overflowing with it.
From an investment lens, Europe feels “structured”… but also saturated.
Growth is slow, predictable, and heavily regulated. Safe money, small returns.
Nigeria, on the other hand, feels like chaos with compounding potential.
Everything is early. Everything is possible. Everything is broken enough to be rebuilt.
And that is exactly what makes it powerful.
We have:
Population density that Europe would dream of
Youth energy that no aging economy can replicate
Resources, creativity, resilience… in excess
So the real question is not “what do we lack?”
It is:
What exactly is stopping us from becoming the best country in the world?
Because from where I’ve stood - Lisbon cafés, European systems, structured economies - I can tell you this:
Nigeria doesn’t need permission.
It needs alignment. Execution. And belief that chaos can be engineered into greatness.
And maybe the biggest export we still haven’t unlocked… is confidence in ourselves.
The loneliness epidemic isn’t about being alone. It’s about being surrounded by people and still not feeling truly known. That’s the problem quietly sitting inside most relationships — and most people just accept it as normal.
It isn’t normal. It’s fixable. And it starts with a single question.
