In recent discussions with my friends, we've talked about how many Nigerians have never heard the version of the gospel that isn't about preventing the consequences of broken systems.
@iamdrrhymes@iambolar Cos he played about 5 games or so for Aston Villa before joining Palace in January. He is therefore eligible for a medal for both teams

Smart people think before they post and posts like that rarely go viral.
These folks go viral because they say and do things smart people simply wouldn’t. They post now and think later.
Egungun for example has been on every blog in the last 48 hours because he asked one of the dumbest questions of the century and followed it up with a world-class, peak-foolish response.
Same with Peller. He was shamelessly begging for Speed’s attention.
A smart person wouldn’t be surprised that a 21-year-old is young, strong, and healthy; wouldn’t beg for Speed’s attention; and definitely wouldn’t end up on blogs trending.
When smart people post, their reach is often limited because it takes a certain level of IQ to understand and engage with their content.
A lady was teaching Physics here but wasn’t going viral. She started going viral the moment… You know the rest of the story.
In conclusion, I have come to realize that there are more of these people than smart people in the world. If there weren’t, being SMART wouldn’t be admired given that it would be a common human trait.
You can’t beat them when it comes to virality because they’re more in number and their “cruise” and “peak fooling” serve entertainment purposes, and you already know that entertainers are some of the most famous people anywhere in the world.
It's just a damn road in the capital of a state with an IGR of over a trillion Naira. Stop getting excited. This is not what you describe as an "audacious legacy project" lol
Clarity follows action. No matter how long you brainstorm you will learn more in the first 12 hours of doing than you’d in the next 12 months of research.
This is simply what happens when lower class views gain mainstream acceptance.
Societies need a middle class to shape its values. Poor people will parrot middle class perspectives aspirationally. Rich will ape middle class behaviors to blend in.
As Nigeria's middle class narrows, and the Internet gives air to everyone, the lower classes which are always the majority become louder than everybody.
