I found myself rolling my eyes at the pearl-clutching of the foreigners in this article reacting to Nigeria’s dysfunction in the 80s, and then I realized…

I’m the weird one!

That’s the appropriate reaction to the anyhowness of this place.

The culture around creative collaboration has really changed.

When I started out in makeup, a bunch of us would get together and do shoots for no reason other than to have things to show people. We’d get a photographer, someone who needed clothes, a model trying to be a model, a hair stylist if we could find one and whoever else.

You’d shoot in someone’s house and then go out and say “I did this shoot for this brand” but we know it’s just five broke creatives. Built up an amazing portfolio that way.

Lately, I’m watching conversations on here with young creatives and they all wanna be paid (often unreasonably high) for work they haven’t actually practiced even when it’s their fellow creative at the same stage of life asking.

It doesn’t help that with how APC has destroyed the economy, everyone is basically a gig worker.

Young creatives need to go back to artistic collaborations with their peers; without expecting immediate renumeration. A few established people might take a chance on you with no portfolio but most won't.

Our language around governance is so interesting in Nigeria. We talk like when someone wins an election, the money and resources of the state become their personal largesse and any progress or work that happens is because they’re kind enough to “dash” us.

The popular understanding is that rent is “wasted money”. Well, there are other considerations.

Indeed, rent is not cheap. At 15% annual rent growth, someone paying ₦3.5mm annually today could pay over ₦70mm in rent over 10 years and may still not own anything at the end.

However, buying a house comes with a relatively steep cost as well. And the real question is the opportunity cost.

Say a house costs ₦60mm+. If the person invests the money for over, say 15 years, the return could range between ₦700mm+ to ₦2bn, depending on the asset class invested in. House value will only rise to roughly ₦400mm.

Therefore, in this context, it might be better to rent. However, there is an important caveat. And that caveat is that renting and investing only works if the person actually invests the difference. If the money is spent on lifestyle inflation, buying wins because a house implicitly forces savings discipline (it’s an asset too).

92.4% of Nigerian children cannot read or understand a simple, age-appropriate text by age 10.

Only 9% of children whose mothers have no formal schooling can write a single word, according to the World Bank.

Nigeria is facing an Early Childhood Development (ECD) crisis.
