Rest on legend 🕊️
Young and I’m fresh
Living on edge
From little cash
A nigga hammer bi ti sledge
From Torino to Milano to Bangladesh
Niggas dash when we pull up won damo marakesch
E lor perch why you in a rush, fire no fi quench
Highest goal scorer lomo koshen player tele bench
Designers flows bi Louis Vuitton on home stretch
Money can’t buy swag it no de for far fetch
Flowing heavy like tsunami, nigga you go drench
Ain’t nobody badder than we no mio sor French
The game in my hands if I clench with a wrench
The lower stretch of the game will be dredged
Let’s re-arrange revelation done emerge
I done pledge to the sketch blow the money mio le wretch
I get stinky money omo shorty it de stench
The game took a lot from me, here comes the revenge
Remembering this song titled "Seun rere" by Christy Essien Igbokwe, one of Nigeria's greatest female singers.

Omoh!! Who’s this man ? 🙌🏼
He braced the cold as a sailor braces the sea, steady hands, steady heart,
never turning from the storm.
Where others saw only darkness,
he held the line like a lone ship’s lantern,
cutting through a black horizon.
He was a brother and a captain of the ship,
a shield against the tide that threatened the realms of men,
manning his post as faithful and as any captain at the helm in rough waters.
Now the winds and seas carry his name,
and the night itself bows in quiet respect.
His courage was his compass,
his oath the anchor that never slipped.
And now….his watch is over.
As you begin your final journey home, May you sail calm waters beyond the wall, and may those of us who remain
hold fast in his honour,
until our own final tide comes.
Fare thee well PDL LJS!
This is one of those posts that sounds motivational but completely ignores economic reality.
Yes, the economy was bad back then. But “bad” in 2016 is not the same as “bad” in 2026. The cost of living, inflation rates, housing markets, and wage stagnation have gotten exponentially worse.
Comparing your 29 to someone else’s 29 a decade later is not a fair fight at all.
At 29 in 2016, rent for a 3-bedroom might’ve been ₦200k-₦400k depending on location. Today? That same apartment is ₦800k-₦1.5M in many cities. Cars that cost ₦1.5M then are ₦8M-₦12M now.
Salaries barely moved, but every single expense doubled or tripled.
You’re also assuming everyone had the same opportunities, same support system, same access to capital, and same luck. Just because you made it work doesn’t mean the path is identical for everyone else.
And saying “the government was corrupt” like it’s past tense is wild. It’s STILL corrupt. The difference is now they’ve perfected the art of squeezing the middle class dry while pretending things are getting better.
Nobody’s saying hard work doesn’t matter. But pretending the playing field is the same across generations is dishonest. Your hustle was valid. But so is someone struggling today in an economy that’s structurally worse than what you faced.
