I’ve been using @LumaHQ a lot more while traveling and it’s helped me find really fun events.
We added a Translate Event feature if you don’t speak the language.

Well, the name’s Francis.
I’m an article writer, novel writer and also a crypto trader.
I love fashion same way I love working out.
This year I’m actually open to trying new things.
My hobbies are too small and I need to extend em
Reading All these Anti GEJ tweets flying around just reminds me that Obidients are actually Sweethearts and Haven’t really gone Demon Mode on this Govt. We haven’t dragged them with 1 quarter of the Dark Energy & Vitriol they all dragged Jonathan with from 2012 to 2015. 🧐🤔🤯🥵
Context being that at the time, there was a running gag about how everytime Aaron Ramsey scored a goal, a famous person died. Famous person being wished death on here was a certain Goodluck Jonathan.
No arrest happened.
Very interesting times.
“I think they are now seeing the repercussions. When we kept complaining about the lack of internal democracy, people always came after me. Now look at what they are doing to Desmond Elliott and many others. I’m so happy for those House of Representatives members who defected to the APC to retain their seats but later løst during the primary election. That is the reward for their b€tråyål.”

Congratulations to those who defected from PDP, LP, NNPP and APGA to APC, only to be denied tickets in the end. May the same criminal electoral laws you supported continue to haunt your political careers.
Did anyone Notice, NASS created a bill to Trap PO in ADC. Instead the Bill Backfired badly & Led to THE LARGEST RETIREMENT OF POLITICIANS IN NIGERIAN HISTORY. Many of them lost their Primaries Ystd & their New Bill restricts them From Decamping to another Party to Contest. 🤣😫
I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.
The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.
At. All.
The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.
So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.
Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.
That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.
If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.
Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.
Them no really send any part of your papa at all.
