Aremu Olami, a content creator under Cute Abiola, decided to bless someone on the street with $500. He met a man riding an okada and asked him to pull over. Aremu told him he wanted to give him $500.

The man said he needed to call his Alfa first to confirm whether he should collect it. Aremu even told him that if he didn't want dollars, he could help him change it to naira. They called a bureau de change person, who said it was about ₦688,000.

Surprisingly, the Alfa told the bike man not to collect it. 😂 Aremu was like, "Kilode?" The man said nothing was wrong, but if the favour was truly meant for him, he and Aremu would meet again.

Some of you ehn, one day Alfa and pastor will end una life. 😭

For those who don't know the penalty when you break any of the FRSC law.

Elon Musk literally broke down his 5-step process for applying first-principles thinking to build anything:

Which is exactly why the path out, for the individual, involves plugging into a system that does reward merit, the global knowledge economy, rather than waiting for the domestic system to fix itself.

That’s not giving up on Nigeria. It’s being honest about the timeline.

[Utee @iam_utee]

Nigeria’s problem is not one thing. It’s a system, one where every problem feeds every other problem.

But there is a root

...

[Utee @iam_utee]

Nigeria is poor because the system is designed (whether deliberately or through accumulated dysfunction) to extract value upward rather than distribute it outward.

Youths are not fighting a skills gap primarily, but fighting a system that was never fully built for their benefit.

- Generational turnover in political class.
Slow, but the demographic bulge of young Nigerians means this pressure is building. #EndSARS showed the capacity exists.

This creates permanent surplus labour, driving down wages, increasing desperation, and fuelling insecurity.
