Saw this earlier today around Agidingbi... 😳

You've never seen worse case of sour grapes in your entire life... 😅

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

These are some of the many foundational issues we are trying to address @GreenWhiteGo

the average Nigerian doesn't even see the connection between this & our retrogression as a country.

“65–70% Of Police Officers In Nigeria Work, Retire And Die Without Ever Owning Or Driving a Car. I Don’t Even Have a Motorcycle, Let Alone a Car, And After More Than 25 Years In The Force, I Have No Hope Of Owning One. I Can Barely Take Care Of My Children, And They No Longer Respect Me As a Father Because I Cannot Provide For Them. The Police Don’t Even Provide Us With Uniforms Or Adequate Welfare, Yet Our Superiors Continue To Oppress And Intimidate Us Whenever We Speak Out. Meanwhile, Politicians Are Embezzling Billions Of Naira And Driving Expensive Cars.” ~ Inspector Samson Of The Nigerian Police Cries Out Over Poor Welfare And Hardship In The Force.

You're Ibo, you're claiming to be a Lagosian because you were born in Lagos. Okay now. So why are you still clamouring for Ibo presidency when your "fellow Lagosian" is currently president?

Is everything okay at home?

You think you're wise, abi?

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

Cool.

But can your country do revivals? 😏😌😎

INSANE

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

Everytime I see a concert flying car first thing that comes to mind is that Peter Thiel comment.

So you can imagine how cool it felt to hear Elon Musk himself reference it while I was still replaying it in my head... Haha...

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground.

The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX.

One of the most insane things I've ever seen.

During the Kaduna massacre, a Hausa Muslim man who didn’t know my family took us in and hid us in his house.

When the people hunting Christians came to his house and asked if there were any Christians inside, he told them no. He even swore by Allah, saying “Wallahi,” just to protect us.

He risked his own life to keep people he had never met safe.

I was only a little girl then, but I remember everything.

The following morning, before daybreak, he led us out of his house to where the soldiers were. He gave my father some money.

From there, we left Kaduna with nothing.

Years later, when I was older, my brother and I returned to Kaduna to look for him. Unfortunately, we learnt that he had passed away💔

We did what we could to show his family how much we appreciated what he had done for us.

Nobody know wetin really pain thdta lady wey make an do that boy dirty like that, but what I have learned in this life is when people suddenly no longer like you for whatever reason... they don't need you to do much else extra to attract their wrath. That's just life. Poor boy

This is all the proof that the political leadership of our country knows they're making things harder but would punish you if you react by making them look bad.

For a country with a majority of people identifying as religious, we are quite the godless nation shaa. All of us. 😑

Then we'll look for the next messiah... Buhari turned out to be a disappointment and that didn't stop us from anointing another one...

Not saying Peter Obi is bad or anything, but what if we vote for him and the country ends up worse than it is now?

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

The sad thing is they have enough data points to identify higher quality borrowers, but would continue to pretend the aggregate loanbook is too high-risk so they can justify these immoral rates. They don't care about individual creditworthiness; they're punishing us as a nation.

See Opay’s loan offer 🙆🏽‍♂️

You are better off drinking garri everyday.

[Aspiring Nepo Baby @Marys_Vault]

This is why I HATE when people abuse personal loans. Someone gives you money in good faith and you abuse that opportunity. Do you understand how much interest rates are?
The luxury of knowing anyone that can bail you out of a bind at no cost is such a privilege.

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

God bless him...

We addressed this matter in @GreenWhiteGo

Justice should not belong only to people who can afford a lawyer.

Nigerian lawyer Yusuf Temilola Nurudeen has won the IBA Pro Bono Award after building a network of 141 volunteer lawyers across 18 states helping vulnerable Nigerians get legal representation.

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s hope.

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

This is why as founders we should try to talk to as many people as possible & never take the NOs of a few as final.

Because many of those NOs are based off feelings and not facts.

And believe it or not... Feelings are 100x harder to talk people out of than facts.

Mila Kunis called Uber "the worst idea ever." Ashton Kutcher and his partner invested $500,000 in the company. By 2016, that stake was worth roughly $50 million, according to Forbes.

In the video below, Kunis tells Stephen Colbert why she tried to talk her future husband out of investments like these.

Her family left Soviet Ukraine in 1991, when she was seven. In Los Angeles, her father, a trained engineer, worked as a cab driver.

Kutcher described Uber as a cab company where anyone could drive. He offered to order her a ride so she could try it. "You're going to put me in a car with a stranger? What is wrong with you?"

Then he told her about Bitcoin. She asked, "Is it FDIC insured?". Kutcher replied: "No. That's the point. It's not."

"I think this is a horrible idea," she recalled telling him. His response: "Cool, we're investing it."

At the beginning of 2013, Bitcoin traded below $100. During the week of her interview in April 2021, it traded above $50,000.

Kunis says she now books accommodation through Airbnb and takes Uber everywhere. "I've never been happier to be wrong."

Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.

[OG Waheedi. @gboukzi]

There's a foundational level of sustenance the state should provide; you may not be balling but you will have the essentials covered enough to be able to commit to things.

Nigeria makes you hedge so much, mehn.

Nothing is certain, nothing is guaranteed. You hedge like mad.

[Emeka, Nigerian @emekagadi]

These Yakoyo people are funny shaa. So I don't eat swallow. I buy one portion of egusi & 1 of afang & a piece of fish. The lady asks which swallow. I say no one. Then she says the soup would now cost more as I didn't buy swallow. How much more? The exact price of the swallow. 😏
