Poor lad. It honestly broke my heart and my eyes teared hearing his shaky voice. seeing how much pressure was placed on him to take a side. And somehow, he still managed to acknowledge the pain and concerns of both peoples, admit that he doesn’t know enough to pretend otherwise, and choose unity through music instead of adding more division.
Please leave him alone after this. Stop weaponizing him for political agendas. Let the noise die down. Let the man sing. Let him create. Just let him be. @edsheeran
I don’t argue this anymore because it is a very subjective argument. We live in a country where the average person earns less than 100k.
Someone earning and living on 80k (probably with a partner and kids) cannot imagine a world where 500k won’t be enough for a single person. It is very true.
500k for them is a dream salary, and majority of Nigerians belong in this bucket. Majority. In fact, I have people whose entire life will change if they start earning 300k monthly.
So yes. Both sides have an equally valid argument. It is very subjective…so I don’t really disagree with anything.
Whatever you think on this topic is true.
Whatever the other person thinks is also true. Just different realities.
But as for me o, 500k monthly in Lagos right now may send me to new sites to carry “konkere”.
One of the sweetest things about friendship is being included. 🥹❤️
Not just being called a friend, but actually having a place in someone’s life. You get the first dibs on their life’s updates. You get the random gist. You hear the good news first, and you hear about
I don’t think we understand how crazy this place is! Gas is expensive! Fuel is expensive, electricity is expensive, house rent is expensive, food is expensive!
These are the basic things we need to survive, wtf Tinibu! Wtf! Are we working just to pay rent and eat?? Wtf!
This is sad, but if we’re being real, this sentiment is more common than we think. No generation is exempt from it but younger generations are particularly vulnerable because they were practically born with phones tethered to their hands. At 20-21, it is completely normal to be broke, to be just starting out in life, to make mistakes… This pressure is what’s not normal.
Used to work at this job and at the end of the month, we were paid salaries.
We didn’t deserve that salary cause most times we did nothing. It was fun for just two months and afterwards I realized that this is how people waste productive years. You try to update your cv and realize you’ve not done any tangible work in years.
