Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

“When I fell ill, I had 6 cars in my garage, but now I have only 1.

I even gave one of my Range Rovers to a staff member.

Arsène Wenger will never be surpassed. We are a club of class. Every winning manager has contributed something to our story.

Did Arteta build us a stadium, keep up financially competitive by staying top 4 year in and out despite not having strong players or sacrifice his own prospects and endure the leagues ridicule for years just for the sake of our club?

There is only one Arsène.

The rush to own a house in Nigeria has never been driven strictly by investment logic. Historically, it has been driven by uncertainty, by the fear that once the breadwinner’s income dips, or once he dies, his dependants may be left exposed. That is the context in which Nigerians rush to own property. Those who can afford more even go as far as building houses for rent, because even when it is not the most profitable economic venture, it is the only form of hedging most Nigerians know or trust.

At the heart of this mindset is also the awareness that there is no welfare system strong enough to protect one’s dependants. So breadwinners do what they feel they must do.

This same instinct plays out across the country, even in public service. Officeholders rush to divert public resources entrusted to them in order to acquire property for themselves, aware that the “opportunity” may not return, and that there is no reliable welfare system to cushion them when the income stops. In fact, their families and friends are often the first to remind them of this. In the end, personal financial security is prioritised over public welfare, and this is partly why we are where we are: a country with one of the widest inequality gaps on the planet.

Those who argue against the wisdom of spending one’s savings to build a house are often speaking from a different reality. Some have lived abroad, where the desperation of the struggling class to own property is not always considered a smart move. Others are financially informed enough to know there are better investment options than dumping all one’s money into property while denying oneself a decent life. But Nigeria is a breadwinner’s nightmare. Every day, you live with the fear that your dependants may not be able to afford the next rent if your income, or your existence, stops.

Where I draw the line is in building a mansion that nobody in your family can maintain after you are gone. I have seen this happen in Abuja, where families had to sell a large family house just to buy a smaller, more manageable one to live in.

So, perhaps both sides of the argument can agree on where to draw the line. Owning a house in Nigeria is not a black-and-white matter. It is not always the smartest investment, but it is often the most emotionally and socially understandable one.

@thejidetaiwo I work closely with the Evergreen Musical Company who are the biggest collector of highlife music of yesteryears and I know how much of effort is put into preserving and documenting this golden generation. Many of this artiste before their demise didn’t even have their masters.

[Kunle Ayomide Daniel @jaydanbadguy]

@thejidetaiwo The real question is ,what has the Dairo family done to preserve their father’s memory?The house in Ijebu-Jesa and Lawanson could have been turned into a mini museum to preserve his memory however they are almost abandoned.A posthumous national honor might however do the magic .

The Arsenal fanbase in Nigeria really exploded in the late 90s with the arrival of Arsène Wenger. For some people then, the attraction even started from something funny and poetic — Arsène simply sounded like Arsenal.

But what truly turned the fanbase into a movement were two major things: the Nwankwo Kanu factor and the rise of the great Thierry Henry ,our very own Igwe.

Kanu gave Nigerians emotional attachment, while Henry gave us swagger, class, goals, and pure arrogance on the pitch.

But for me, it was always about Wenger.

The man changed football philosophy entirely — expressive football, beautiful passing, intelligence, technical quality…

Wengerball hooked some of us for life.

No going back ❤️🔴

Again, the apparent laziness of many media practitioners and outlets is coming to the fore: it is grossly incompetent to simply describe Michael Ndika as "Niniola's husband", especially when 98% of YOU didn't know they were married before her post.

Naija Review was his own person and a successful music exec in these parts. It is lazy work to focus only on the husband bit. He may have been that, but he was a lot more. You will be doing his memory, and even HER grief, a lot of injustice if you do not obituarize him correctly. Please try.

[FOLA FOLAYAN @TheFavoredWoman]

Michael was not just Niniola's manager/husband.

He was a legend. An OG. One of the people who was in the game before many even knew there was a game.

Michael created @naijareview. This was back when music blogging was still a thing, before “Afrobeats to the world,” before the global spotlight, before the industry became what it is today. He was already there, giving Nigerian artists a platform and pushing Nigerian music with real commitment.

@naijareview was instrumental in creating space for music promotion, management, discovery, and distribution. Michael did the work behind the scenes, and a lot of young Afrobeats fans today may not fully understand how much people like him helped build the foundation this industry now stands on.

The industry has lost a pioneer. A true legend. Someone who gave so much before the applause came.

Rest in peace, Michael. You deserve your flowers, even in passing. My deepest condolences to Niniola, his family, and everyone in the industry who knew and loved him.

[Kunle Ayomide Daniel @jaydanbadguy]

@thisisAQ He was super amazing !! Everyone who played with Belle Fc can testify to how admirable he was . Friendly , calm and ever ready to assist . Rest Easy, Big Mike .

Professor Wole Soyinka has published over 100 books.

In his over 90 years on earth, he has shown me that you should never stop.

When he read my book, Lemon Grass, he sent me an email, saying: “Should let you know that I enjoyed the latest product of your wild imagination on the way home. Flight delay in Abidjan enabled me to complete reading it. The stylistic verve reminded me of Ishmael Reed - did you ever run into his works? He was also sui generis. He sort of faded out after the US Black revolution of the sixties into seventies and, so I'd be very much surprised if you'd encountered his writings.”

He is well-read and has worked so hard, that there is no one like him.

This is him in the 60s in the video. Still the same.
