The day I left Nigeria🇳🇬, I withdrew ₦50k cash just to settle any airport - (Oga find us something naa)!
Because once you step into that international wing, every official assumes you’re a Japa candidate with money to spare, and they bill you accordingly.
I blew all the cash before I even reached my gate.
In Nigeria, your first migration expense isn’t the flight.... It’s lowkey surviving the airport.
Many of you need to grasp the fundamentals of how an economy functions. For an economy to operate effectively, one person’s expenditure must be another person’s income. It’s impossible for a significant portion of the population to engage in local trade and petty trade as this would lead to economic hardship. Therefore, it’s crucial to prioritize formal employment over informal employment as a sustainable means.
All this talk about akara sellers making more is the silliest thing I’ve heard. You’d think we don’t work with the informal economy, lol 😂, and we don’t understand how value accumulates at the end of each month and the beginning of every month. If we had more formal paying jobs, we wouldn’t be in as much of a poverty situation as we are today.
At the gym today, some guys were benching and I decided to join them. The strongest amongst them benched 90kg, and the rest wanted to reduce it so they could bench. I asked them to leave it so I could bench it before they do. The look on their faces was as if I was trying to lift something beyond me. Two of them even looked at each other in a way that suggested they would witness a failed lift attempt.
Long story short, I lifted 10 reps of it with no assistance, and I could see the looks on their faces like “what?”. Apparently the size of my body deceived them because some of them who are bigger than me couldn’t lift it, so they assumed a smaller person than them (me) wouldn’t. They were wrong.
I can even bench 5 reps of 100kg.
I weigh 73kg.
I just published:
As the first person from your family to pursue upward mobility, you may not be able to build generational wealth, but you can start building something just as valuable for them.

Tell British council to come and cut your grasses or trim your lawn for you because you pay council tax or National tax. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Indeed Nigeria deserves better citizens
