This woman just said the quiet part out loud and I felt every single word.

“You are not just marrying a person, you are marrying their childhood, their coping mechanisms… the fact that they leave one sip of juice in the refrigerator like a sociopath.”

Oh my goodness. Because why is that so accurate??

And then she continues with:

“Marriage is basically two exhausted people trying not to psychologically waterboard each other during tax season.”

I'm not lying. That line alone is a public service announcement.

The real ones though:

- Love is not enough. Shared values matter more.
- The goal isn’t to stay the same forever... it’s can we keep meeting each new version of each other with curiosity instead of resentment?
- Love mostly lives in boring Tuesday behavior.
- Your partner cannot be your entire universe. That is too much pressure for one nervous system.

I’ve been married long enough to know she’s not exaggerating a single thing. The forehead kiss and the “I picked this up because I thought you’d like it” hits harder than any anniversary post ever could.

Successful marriages really are just two people who decided to grow up instead of just grow older.

What’s the best marriage advice? Drop it below. Let’s educate (and mildly traumatize) each other.

There will be constraints on the seeds you plant today. The conditions and the right attitude will make the difference to the eventual outcome.

There has to be an effective and efficient solution to avoid the traffic situation faced by commuters the past week. The situation is untenable and has to be dealt with, with precision.

@Emmanuel_Tips Exactly 💯

@Kolamide Power to the office of the citizen. I'm glad you made a stand (or a block) and insisted on the right thing to be done.

@ChuksEricE One simple action like this is the seed needed to make a change. Well done to the office of the citizen 👏🏽

@ChuksEricE How does being Yoruba solve the problem of values and law enforcement?

[UNCLE CHIKE @UncleChike_]

Bole Fest vendors are frustrated, but the outrage is misdirected. The shift to a ₦15,000 gate fee changed the market mechanics from high-volume to premium. If you went in expecting to hit your annual targets in 3 days, you brought the wrong strategy. https://t.co/FbEH4FfBSG

On Uber’s Exit from Nigeria…

Uber’s withdrawal from Nigeria and Uganda should be understood principally within the context of the global restructuring announced today. The simultaneous market exits, the reduction of about 10% of its global workforce, and the reallocation of resources towards higher-priority opportunities indicate a broader portfolio decision rather than a verdict on Nigeria alone.

The possibility of selling or franchising the Nigerian operation may have been considered, but the available assets were not necessarily compelling. Uber does not own the vehicles or exercise exclusive control over drivers and riders, many of whom use competing platforms. Customer histories, geolocation information and related data also cannot simply be transferred without addressing privacy, regulatory and reputational concerns.

A local sale or licensing arrangement was therefore conceivable, but its strategic value may not have been sufficiently attractive. Any buyer would have needed to determine what was genuinely transferable and defensible beyond the Uber brand, technology and commercial relationships, whose value could weaken rapidly following its withdrawal.

This decision should also be viewed alongside Uber’s recent withdrawals from Africa. Operations ended in Côte d’Ivoire on 25 September 2025 and in Tanzania on 30 January 2026. With the addition of Nigeria and Uganda, @Uber has now withdrawn completely from four African countries since September 2025.

South Africa is a different case and should not be included. Uber is retiring the UberX category there but will reportedly continue to operate Uber Go, Comfort, Black and Reserve. Similarly, postponed European expansion plans are not market exits because Uber had not commenced the proposed operations.

The continued presence of Bolt and inDrive reinforces the distinction, at least for now. It indicates that Nigeria’s e-hailing market remains viable, although perhaps not sufficiently attractive within Uber’s present strategy, cost structure and return requirements.

A clean exit may therefore have offered greater certainty than a complicated divestment that would have yielded limited value while leaving Uber with ongoing exposure.

We will learn more about the arithmetic and qualitative decisions in the weeks to come.
