A video of Ladipo I made few days ago.
The road is barricaded by a large heap of trash. It was so unsightly.
That market needs to be closed for 1 month for clean up. The oil pollution 🤮
To whom it may concern, I’m taken . So please stop making advances to me in my DM(about 50 DMs).
I love my husband and I respect him very much, there is no room for any other person.
Thanks for understanding and I pray you find your soulmate too

Can someone please tell restaurants that even the shittiest, blurriest picture of their food is 100000000000x more appetizing than AI slop. We can all tell it’s AI, it looks disgusting, and it communicates a deep insecurity.

Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa
I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident.
Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records.
We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business.
What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%.
Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from?
The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not.
This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform.
This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy.
Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth.
We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work.
If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business.
Thank you.
Hayden is going on&on about how “Shane never had his “slut era” so how does he know Rozanov is the one” & Shane finally snaps “Maybe not everyone need to sleep with tons of fucking people to find someone who ACTUALLY wants to be with you & ACTUALLY likes you for who you are!”
Strawberries certainly do have a smell - one which gets stronger as they ripen. However, it’s not possible to extract a strawberry essential oil due to their high water content, so the strawberry scent in products is often a synthetic approximation of the natural smell.
