The rate at which politics is eating and tearing up relationships between friends, associates being built over time, is getting out of hand but not surprising.
Because I thought in life we are allowed to be different, like whatever we like and still manage our togetherness without envy and breaking relationships.
Waking up one day to scatter what you endured to build, over a stranger who does not value you and will never value what you lost is insane.

I have a genuine concern.
Why are Nigerian startup founders building countless payment apps, betting platforms, and delivery services, yet hardly anyone is building serious solutions to insecurity, hunger, poverty, and failing education?
These are the problems affecting hundreds of millions of people.
What exactly is stopping our brightest minds from working on them?
Is it that investors won’t fund such ideas?
Or have we become more interested in convenience than solving the problems holding the country back?
Nigeria doesn’t need another payment app as much as it needs solutions that make people safer, put food on tables, create opportunities, and help children learn.
The United States has identified a Nigerian national and three companies allegedly involved in facilitating cross-border financial transactions for ISIS. According to U.S. authorities, the network helped move funds between countries including France, Syria, Türkiye, and Nigeria, enabling the terrorist group to finance attacks, support its regional affiliates, and threaten civilians, including religious minorities.
The individual named is Muhammad Mukhtar Adamu, a suspected ISIS-West Africa affiliate. Born in August 1990, Adamu is reported to reside in the Agege area of Lagos.
The three companies linked to him are General Currency Bureau De Change Limited, based in Lagos; Nine To Nine Exchange Bureau De Change, located at the FAAN Complex on Airport Road, Lagos; and Manhattan Bureau De Change, situated on Murtala Mohammed Way in Kano.
JUST NOW: First, the DSS closed its case. Now, El-Rufai’s lawyers say there is no case to answer. The battle moves to the next stage. With Abubakar Malami, SAN, also present in court, we continue to believe that justice must be guided by facts, not politics.
Fathers are not just providers; they are mentors, protectors, and role models whose strength and guidance shape generations.
Today, we celebrate the pillars of our families and communities whose sacrifices, wisdom, and unwavering support continue to inspire excellence
The menace currently going on around Northern Nigeria with young people constantly getting married to multiple women before the age of 35 needs to be studied. If you are a researcher please help me research this madness. Women and men not up to 30 are marrying multiple people in spaces 1-2 years.
I just found out Ibadan okadas operate like buses.
You’re on a bike, then the rider picks up another passenger because you’re both going the same way.
