@SirLeoBDasilva@haywhydot85 That’s because there are too many missed opportunities due to everyone doing almost the same thing. There are still so many underserved and untapped sectors in Lagos.
First time I got dragged on twitter was 2010/2011.
I was having a party in uni and usually my parties were about 700 attendees.
My Uni mates were mocking me for having about 300 people out on a Wednesday night. Wednesday o!
It was not big brother that toughened me, it was that night.
Imagine people you think are your friends roasting you online without knowing you are on Twitter seeing it 🤣
Anyway nothing anyone here can tell me that will move me an inch.
Any information you have is what I choose to share.
The most expensive thing in Nigeria is being poor.
People think poverty is just not having money.
But the real problem is what it forces you to do. Don't be confused. I'll explain.
When you don’t have money, you can’t plan ahead.
You buy things in bits.
Half a bag of sachet water, half a paint rubber of beans, small gas, a few cubes of maggi, etc.
Somehow, you end up spending more than the person who bought in bulk, paid once, and moved on.
If you have money, you buy something of high quality, and you’re done. If you don’t, you keep managing the same bad one, or you replace it with another low-quality one. Car owners can relate to this very well.
Fix today, fix next month, and the fixing continues.
The repairer knows you too well. Lol.
Tell me why a person should buy used tyres. After a few months, they go bad, and you're already trying to replace them. Whereas the person who bought a brand new tyre isn't thinking of replacing it. You end up spending more than he spent.
Health is worse.
When you’re broke and you feel sick, you don’t rush to the hospital. You wait. You try to manage it at home. Not because you want to, but because you’re hoping it will pass.
Sometimes it does.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
And when it doesn’t, the bill is bigger than it would have been at the start.
Where you live matters too.
You stay far because the rent is cheaper. Then transport eats you every day. By the time you get to work, you’re already exhausted. Na vex you go use dey enter office.
Money would have saved you time.
But you didn’t have it.
If you don't have savings, you are limited to choices. And when you don’t have choices, people decide things for you. Your landlord, your boss, even the system.
That’s why poverty is not just a lack of money.
It’s pressure from all sides, every passing day.
In Nigeria, money saves you money.
Poverty does the opposite.
INALEGWU.
It’s mad weird watching people attempt to diminish a musical icon because of agenda driven takes and foolish stats.
Before playlists. Before charts. Before streaming math became the loudest voice in the room, there was Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti.
For the longest time, the Kutis were the only Nigerian artists consistently acknowledged in serious global music spaces. Not because they begged for validation, but because their work made it impossible to ignore them.
Afrobeat did not fall from the sky. The current Afrobeats ecosystem exists because Fela defined a genre musically, politically, and spiritually. What we enjoy today is a renovation of a house he built from scratch.
Fela didn’t make songs. He made statements.
Zombie wasn’t a hit record. It was a direct challenge to military power.
Sorrow, tears, and Blood wasn’t for vibes. It was a mirror to state violence.
Water No Get Enemy proved protest could still be poetic and timeless.
His music was treated like a threat because it was a threat to oppression, silence, and convenient lies.
Artists will come and go. Numbers will rise and fall. Algorithms will change. But cultural architects are permanent.
When Nigerians rubbish their icons, we weaken our own history and then act shocked when foreigners don’t respect it. You can’t erase the foundation and still expect the house to stand.
Fela was not perfect, but he was necessary.
And legacies like that don’t degenerate.
They only get misunderstood in eras obsessed with momentary relevance.
First thing I did when I moved back from England was go ask my best friend to help me.
He gave me N5m to start my business.
I already knew help will come from no where.
Just make sure you are asking for help in the right places not places where they will use it against you.
Im tired of explaining basic things to people who are close-minded
But here you go.
While the recent approvals may look like a massive investment in Lagos infrastructure nearly 3 trillion across the Carter Bridge, Ebute-Ero shoreline, and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. the reality is that these projects do not directly favor Lagos or its people.
The Airport, for instance, is a federal asset. Any revenue generated from its modernization, including landing fees, passenger charges, or commercial rent, goes straight to the Federal Government, not the Lagos State treasury. Lagos bears the environmental and logistical burden of managing the city’s traffic, waste, and security around the airport, yet none of the income flows back to it.
Similarly, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, although passing through Lagos, will be a tolled federal road. Lagosians will pay to use it just like travelers from other states, meaning the project creates an additional cost rather than a benefit for residents. Even the Carter Bridge and Ebute-Ero shoreline works, while necessary for safety and connectivity, are primarily preservation efforts to protect federal and military assets, not direct investments in Lagos' social infrastructure or urban welfare.
In essence, these funds strengthen federal control and revenue streams within Lagos territory but do little to expand the state’s fiscal autonomy, improve local services, or ease the financial pressure that comes from being the economic hub of Nigeria.
