Even the bible once addressed someone as the rich fool.

PS: Nigerians need to understand that it’s possible to be rich, very rich and still be a big fool or Olodo.

[Adika @Adikastakes]

I hate the fact that once you question a Nigerian’s intellect their automatic response is to start comparing how much money they have to you. So because you’re rich you think you can’t be stupid?

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?

Seems like The Delborough hotel has become the status symbol of VIP meet ups, exclusive high profile events and luxury living/Dinning in Lagos.

I wonder how Eko Hotel feels about it.
Will they continue to bask in their past glory in hopes it keeps them afloat or compete? 🤔

For non-Nigerians
There’s Nigeria, the country
Then there’s Norther Nigeria a region in Nigeria

This is Northern Nigeria. (the arewa region)

The rest of the country has no business with what’s going on here as we are focusing inward not some Iran/isreal conflict miles away.

Is it the CIA and Mossad that is influencing this one too?

[Philip Owi Idoko @Owi_PAID]

North Korea cannot even win a 1v1 against South Korea

It’s all hype from people who daydream, the downfall of the US overwhelming military Power

Dislike the US all you want, but based on today’s reality, not one country comes close.

They will smoke NK in 2hours.

Seyi Really ?

No worry, your turn go soon reach, and we will say the same thing.

This guy finished Seyi Law. See how quiet he is 😹. Defend Tinubu’s administration & become disgraced.

Constructive criticism is good but when you add lies to it, one starts to rethink your intention.

Potholes from Abuja airport to CBD ?? Please.
Also, what do you think wike should do about the dust ?

Build a harmattan dome to capture the dust as it spreads from the north?? 🤔

[Nedu Ani @Nedumcity_]

I arrived in Abuja this morning and honestly, the airport still feels like the unofficial headquarters of begging. The moment you step outside, the city hits you with thick dust and general untidiness everywhere.

Even in the supposedly “central” parts of town, the roads are full of potholes. From the airport all the way to the Central Business District, almost none of the major roads have proper lane markings or any kind of visible demarcation. Picture a four-lane carriageway with no lines whatsoever, just drivers guessing and squeezing through however they can.

On top of that, the noise level is exhausting. The constant blaring of sirens from VIP convoys cuts through everything. It’s relentless and genuinely irritating.

Welcome to Abuja 2026.

Hear him out!

Nigerian is a survival market, not a Subscription market.

If you’re selling Saas in Nigeria, the PAYG model is your best chance.

In other words,
Don’t charge 5k per month, instead sell 5000 user credit for 5k, with top up options.

Like MTN,

T for thanks.

The only difference between you & Those bandits you criticize is that you don’t have a gun.

Imagine wanting to ki!! A man’s business simply because he has a different political view.

The thousands of employments or business support programs mean nothings??

Omoh!

Why are you still banking with UBA? WHY?

[Philip Owi Idoko @Owi_PAID]

Folks that constantly insight h@te & divis!on are mentally defeated.

98% of them emerge from very abus!ve unhealthy, or extrem!st backgrounds.

So the only thing they can offer is h@te & division on a commercial scale sometimes for rent, other times for free.

It’s sad

I guess the “Center of excellence “ theme was meant to be a joke or something because if you are looking for mediocrity at scale, Lagos embodies its finest version,

This is a section of one the most economically important roads in Lagos.

We agree.
The Namibians won
However they have refused to move on since.

They finally get their “5 minutes of fame” after 35 years.

Hopefully their government turns this into a sort of national day so they can always reflect on when Nigeria gave them their greatest visibility

As a Namibian, I feel bad for the Nigerians, man 😭😭 you guys have been roasting those triangular head-shaped folks for almost a whole week now 😂😂😂

@Spearhead_Af Thank you for this

[The Spearhead @Spearhead_Af]

How Big Tech Frames African Audiences As Intellectually Lazy.

African social media audiences are not “dumb” - they are being conditioned.

When Africans have to engage with western controlled information ecosystems, the engagement is never a fair one. Not in traditional media, and certainly not in digital media. It always follows the same colonial playbook of extraction and social engineering over any kind of meaningful conversation or useful solution.

The exploitative relationship between Western-controlled tech giants and Africa's social media audiences is often overlooked, but it shapes almost everything we see or value - and even how we understand ourselves. The low-effort, oversexualized content that has become recognised as the preferred taste of African audiences is not in fact an organic phenomenon. To put it bluntly, Western colonial tech monopolies are actively engineering African social media spaces into cesspits of anti-intellectual slop.

Africa must rise to resist this intellectual suppression by building information and communication ecosystems by Africans and for Africans.

Dear Friends,

My name is Adetutu Balogun, I am the convener of #AdoptAFamilyAtXmas. I’m writing to ask for your support.

This program started six years ago, to support families in need during Christmas holidays.

For most people, the Christmas season means time with family and friends, enjoying a festive meal together.

However, for some people, the Christmas holiday is not a joyful experience. Many pensioners, Widows/Widowers, Single Parents etc just do not have the financial resources to meet day-to-day needs, so a festive meal is beyond their imagination.

With your help #AdoptAFamilyXmas, #AFAX2025 can change that.

I am seeking N20k per family. Your FULL donation goes to the families you adopted.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Yours Sincerely,
Adetutu Balogun
