Let me tell you the Desmond Elliott and Gbajabiamila story properly because it is one of the most revealing cautionary tales in Nigerian politics right now.

Tinubu himself disclosed it that Obasanjo asked him to persuade Gbajabiamila to accommodate Desmond Elliott in the 2015 Lagos Assembly contest. Gbajabiamila then personally begged Surulere people to accept Elliott through three consecutive terms in office.

Twelve years, a man with no political history in Surulere, no grassroots structure of his own,with no independently verifiable constituency record, sustained entirely by one man’s political goodwill and name recognition borrowed from Nollywood.

The Surulere Accountability Front described Elliott’s 11 years in office as a wasted opportunity marked by underperformance, detachment from grassroots realities, character deficiency, and overreliance on the record of others.

This is the same Desmond Elliott who stood on the floor of the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2020 during the EndSARS protests and told young Nigerians, the same generation that voted, marched, and bled for a better country, that they had been influenced by “the way they see things on social media” and that social media was “becoming a problem.” He told grieving, traumatised young people who had just watched their peers get shot at Lekki Toll Gate that the internet was corrupting their sense of reality.

Now Gbajabiamila has withdrawn his backing because Desmond can gossip and back bite. He has quietly identified and begun grooming a replacement, Barakat Odunuga-Bakare, former Special Adviser to Governor Sanwo-Olu on Housing.

The godfather has moved on and the man who spent twelve years in office without building his own structure is suddenly exposed.

Elliott’s response? He picked up his nomination form and publicly begged. “Our leader is a compassionate leader. Children sometimes err. If I have erred in any way, my leader, I am sorry. Give me another chance”.

A sitting lawmaker with twelve years in office. Publicly begging his godfather for permission to continue on camera and in front of journalists.

Tinubu himself rejected lobbying for Elliott’s fourth term, declining to impose him on Surulere against Gbajabiamila’s wishes. The man who helped put him in cannot get even Tinubu to save him now. That is how completely the protection has evaporated.

A lot of you may have seen the little snippet of “Human Nature” from the #michaelmovie recreating the Victory Tour….but here’s the real moment from back then. Performing this live with Michael Jackson on the Victory Tour was something truly special!

At the market yesterday, a woman told me 5 tubers of yam is ₦12,000.

I priced it down to ₦8,000. She came down to ₦10,000, said “last price.”
I stood my ground at ₦8,000, she refused.

I waka round the market, cheapest I saw was ₦7,000 but the yams were smaller.

So I went back to her, asked for 3 tubers.
She said ₦6,000 “last last.”
We dragged it small, she even started insulting me. I just jejely left.

On my way out, I saw one of my old customers that sells yam.
I asked her price for 5 tubers.

She smiled and said, “You know I’ll give you better price… bring ₦10,000.”
I told her, “Madam, I get only ₦8,000.”

She said, “No problem, bring your sack.”

Na so I carry 5 big tubers for ₦8,000.

Out of curiosity (and small pepper body 😂), I went back to the first woman again.
I told her, “Make I bring ₦5,000 for the 3 tubers.”

She quickly said, “Bring am.”

Na there I just laugh…

I said, “Ah ah… I don already buy 5 tubers for ₦8,000, and my own sef bigger pass your own.”

The way she look me ehn… 😂
She just open mouth like she wan talk:

“You…”

She no fit complete am.
She just dey look me like say she see ghost😆

Moral of the story:
No rush buy for market.
Connection + patience fit save you serious money 💯

This time last year, my best friend’s wife turned him from a landlord to a tenant in the UK because he questioned why she bought a property worth ₦100 million in Owerri without informing him as the husband.

As a result, my friend sent his cousin to the location on day the paperwork was to be signed, instructing him to request that his name be written on the documents. On getting there, the wife’s mother was also present. Before his cousin could even finish delivering the message, the mother-in-law load him a “₦500 recharge card” across his face, and the entire place erupted into violence.

The wife later called the UK police. At first, they compel him to stay away from her for a certain period. The next thing he heard was an order to vacate the house he had bought in the UK through 15 years of hard work as an Uber driver. Their three children, all under 18, were also placed in the wife’s custody.

While both of them were with the police, the wife told them that he owned “four big and luxurious mansions in Nigeria.” Those were her exact words, persuade them to strip him of those properties, too. ☺️

This is why I will always say marriage without legal protection (prenup) can turn years of sacrifice into overnight regret, most especially if you are oversee where animals have more right than the man.

That time when Diana Ross called Michael Jackson up on stage while performing her hit “Upside Down” in 1981. Iconic! 🤯

The way he grabbed that mic always cracks me up. It’s how he completely obliterates her stage presence 😭

The most dangerous pandemic of this century may not be a virus.

It is the “One Child Pandemic.”

One child carrying the pressure of two parents, four grandparents, and an entire bloodline’s expectations.

One child growing up in silent homes instead of noisy childhoods.

No sibling fights.
No shared secrets.
No built-in best friend for life.

Just screens, perfection pressure, loneliness, and emotional isolation dressed up as “modern comfort.”

Earlier generations grew up with less money but more people.
Today’s generation grows up with more gadgets but fewer human bonds.

A single child becomes the family’s hope, retirement plan, emotional support system, and legacy all at once.

And when that child breaks mentally, the whole house collapses quietly.

Human beings were never designed to grow up emotionally alone.

A society survives not only on economy and technology.
It survives on cousins, siblings, chaos at dinner tables, shared responsibilities, and people who stay after the parents are gone.

The real tragedy is not declining birth rates.

It is declining human connection.

We are slowly creating generations who know how to use every device…
but do not know how to share grief, tolerate differences, protect relationships, or carry family together.

A crowded house was never poverty.

Sometimes, it was civilization itself.

In 2019, Alexx Ekubo and Sound Sultan collaborated with 2Baba on the song "4 Instance Again.” The hit song was a remix of 2Baba’s 2006 classic “For Instance.”

We’ll never watch either of them perform, Again. 💔

The Casio in this photo costs $90. The watch it's copying was once the most expensive stainless steel watch in the world, nearly ten times the price of a Rolex Submariner. Today it sells for $40,100 and people wait years to buy one. Casio just started making the same look for $90.

In 1971, a Swiss watchmaker called Audemars Piguet was on the edge of collapse. Cheap quartz watches from Japan, more accurate than the best Swiss mechanicals and selling for almost nothing, were destroying Swiss watchmaking. Between 1970 and 1983, the number of Swiss watch companies dropped from 1,600 to 600. By 1988, the industry had lost more than 60,000 of its 90,000 workers.

On April 10, 1971, the head of Audemars Piguet phoned a young designer named Gérald Genta at 4pm. He wanted a stainless steel watch nobody had ever seen, sketched by morning. The world's biggest watch trade show opened the next day.

Genta worked through the night. He drew an eight-sided ring around the watch face, held by visible screws, with a steel bracelet that flowed straight out of the case. He called it the Royal Oak. It launched in 1972 at 3,300 Swiss francs, costing more than a solid gold watch from Patek Philippe, one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world. Until then, steel was what you used for cheap, everyday watches. Almost nobody bought one at first.

Four years later, Genta did it again for Patek Philippe. Sitting at dinner during the 1974 watch trade show, he spotted the head of Patek Philippe across the room, asked a waiter for a napkin, and sketched a second watch in five minutes. They called it the Nautilus. It launched in 1976.

These two designs created the entire luxury sports watch category. The Royal Oak Jumbo today retails for $40,100. The steel Patek Nautilus 5711 was discontinued in 2021 and now trades around $135,000 used. A Tiffany & Co. version of the Nautilus sold at auction for $6.5 million in 2021.

The watch in the photo is the Casio MTP-B195D-2A, which launched in November 2025. It has the same eight-sided ring as the Royal Oak, with a flowing steel bracelet, a blue dial, a date window at three, and a three-year battery. The design invented to save Swiss luxury from Japan is now being made by Japan for $90, one 445th of what Audemars Piguet charges for the original.
