LASG is Lagos state Government (last I checked).
Unless the ‘Dr’ title in your profile name stands for native Doctor, or one of those miserable honorary hogwash you people acquire online, I sincerely think you have the I.Q of a mayonnaise.

I was only born and raised in Lagos state. Never made a penny or worked with the LASG. So why don’t you rewind time and birth me in Abia state under Gov. Otti’s era too?

Ikpu enwe!

If you don't want people from all walks of life in your country, don't bid for the right to host the World Cup.

This is madness!

I pick the UAE every single time. Not even a debate.

Monaco is beautiful, but it feels heavily skewed toward the 50+ retiree crowd. It’s where you go after you’ve retired and just want to chill. The UAE is far more cosmopolitan, more alive, more hustle-and-bustle, and you’re surrounded by a much younger, more energetic crowd. No brainer.

[MrBanks💰 @Mrbankstips]

Monaco no really go far sha for those wey dey dig am too much (for those wey guide o before Una come for me again)

🇲🇨 Monaco vs 🇦🇪 Dubai for the rich:

For Monaco: Freeze €500K+ in a bank (your money, but locked) and you get to live there 90+ days/yr. No income tax so that’s a plus.

Dubai: Buy AED 2M (about $550k) property (you get an appreciating asset you put up for rent and recoup your investment), get 10yr Golden Visa. You OWN an appreciating asset, ZERO days required to stay. No income tax, huge upside.

Cost of living comfortably a month is basically same or very similar, $5k - $10k a month and you can live in comfort.

Monaco makes you prove you’re rich.
Dubai lets you build richer.

I choose the UAE 🇦🇪 ✅

I walked into lounge38 a few days ago. I am a visual eater so i need to see the food before i know if i feel like eating it. I didn't see anything i felt like eating. I ordered water. N600 naira. I told the lady to take it back. I walked outside and bought it for N200.

The extra N400 will not kill me but it's a matter of principle, I don't like overpaying for things.

My dad once followed a hotel porter down two flights of stairs over a bottle of water. It became one of the most important money lessons of my life growing up.

Years ago, he traveled to Abuja on a business trip and lodged at a hotel. He got thirsty in his room and called downstairs for a bottle of water.

A porter brought it up, Ragolis, and handed him a bill for ₦2,500. My dad looked at it and asked why water cost that much. The man explained that the water was ₦500, and the other ₦2,000 was the flat service charge for bringing it up to the room.

My dad handed the bottle back and told him to take it away. Then he got up, put on his slippers, and followed the porter all the way down to the bar.

When they got there, he picked up the same bottle himself, dropped ₦500 on the counter, and walked back up to his room.

He wasn't broke. He just wasn't going to pay four times the price of something because someone else could carry it up a flight of stairs. That was how he taught me, through a story where he dramatized the march downstairs to the laughter of the entire family, that you don't spend money just because you have it.

Two weeks I was at the mall with my son and he wanted water. We were in front of a restaurant selling it for 10 dirhams and he pointed and said let's get it here. I told him we were going to walk to the Carrefour a few meters away in the same mall instead.

He asked why we couldn't just buy from the first shop, and I told him he would find out when we got there. We got there and he was surprised to see the same bottle going for one dirham.

I can afford the 10 dirhams. But when two shops are almost side by side, why pay ten for what costs one?

We don't waste money or spend just because. If it were an emergency or the only shop around, that's a different thing. But it wasn't.

Sometimes you just walk the extra hundred meters.

Morning devotions in Nigerian households were the original breeding ground for indirect jabs.

Your mum will be praying for you in presence of everyone and randomly say, “Father remove every spirit of laziness, stubbornness and wasted potential from his life,” and suddenly you’re wondering when you offended her.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

I have been thinking of how tech can help the “hunting” profession in Nigeria with proper aerial maps and drone surveillance. Is there any law against supplying hunters with the latest hunting rifles, scopes, and proper bullets? Why are there no shooting ranges in Nigeria for hunting enthusiasts? This is probably a massive business opportunity in plain sight. The startup can also assist with firearm permits or work with those who already have permits.

I now understand why they are all afraid of state policing as it will change the firearm laws.

The power of the word "omo."
I coach an Under 8s soccer team and those kids copy absolutely everything I do. What I didn't realise was just how often I say "omo." There are now 11 little white Aussie kids running around the soccer grounds every Thursday screaming "OMO!" about 30 times a night. But what I love is I never had to explain what it means. They just instinctively understood.
It's only the parents who ever pull me aside and ask what the hell their kid is yelling. 😂

[Pharaoh👳🏾‍♂️👑 @MrMekzy_]

I told my guy that i was hungry yesterday and he asked me to take out soup from the freezer so i can defrost. Immediately i opened it and reached for the plate, that was the last thing i remembered for like 3 seconds. Everywhere first blur, i stood there totally shocked wondering what happened. Only for this bagger lizard to come and ask me if it shocked me, i nodded. He now said “no vex abeg i for tell you to wear slippers before you open am”.😭😭

You will never see any prominent person of Igbo extraction at her level make comments like this, whether publicly or privately.

My “hot take” on this is that the next wave of things to become very valuable will be tech media companies. The thing great tech media companies know how to do better than other tech institutions is to build a loyal audience. This is why I am not surprised at the recent tech media acquisitions.

Influencers will be important, but trusted media companies will be much more important. This reminds me of the early days of personal computers when PC Magazine and PC World reigned supreme. I still subscribe to PC World to this day.

They helped all of us make sense of what was happening and were much more important to users than the builders. There will also be interesting new media companies in this AI era.

I see tech people write about what they do and they are completely lost. They can't communicate well. There are many pitches I see and I shake my head. Great products but very bad communication. Great communication will become the moat. AI won't solve that problem. At least not yet.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

This brings me back to our argument about professional and unprofessional players.

I told you people that the difference between professionals and unprofessionals is fitness, not talent. People kept arguing that you can't be better than anybody in Europe. What you lack is opportunity. Who don sabi don sabi. Football is a gift.

Zadok had not played one minute of professional football in Nigeria. He was spotted by a scout and sent to Sweden to play with and against professionals. In a year, his impact in Sweden got him a big move to Brighton.

From grassroot to dominating Swedish top league to moving to Brighton. "The best player in Nigeria cannot be better than the lowest ranked player in division 3" una. Go pursue am na

[Lucho🇦🇷 @itz_Lucho]

@Wizarab10 @Abdul_j_erena Exactly. If a player has the ability but never gets the platform, people go assume say e no reach.

"No, he plays like a Nigerian"

How does a Nigerian play o, Nationalist?

Even Okocha plays like a Brazilian.

It is no news that countries have what they stand out for.

Kenyans 🇰🇪 = forehead
South Africans 🇿🇦 = ugly men
Nigerians 🇳🇬 = mumu men
Brazil 🇧🇷 = football

Rest.

Otedola’s book is the realest books written by a Nigerian billionaire - a must read. But there’s one part he didn’t mention.

FO is a bulldozer just like his friend, Dangote. Don’t let the nice words fool you.

Most entrepreneurs may not set out to be like this, but when you see your fortune slipping in front of you, you develop domination instincts that will make you question why you set out on the quest in the first place.

[Sir J (J9) @SirJarus]

Sometimes I wonder whether you can get to that level in Nigeria without being ruthless.

Those men are ruthless o.

I remember when Oga Femi Awoyemi's Proshare economic info platform published some story about FO about 15 years ago. The way he came after him and his company scared me.

The way Ali Cash fought even his own Kano brother Rabiu too in the cement war.

And the way he fought Dangote too.

FO in particular thrives in surutu. In fact, he went dirty with his now-friend, Ali, too.

These are just few examples.

And na the open ones be that o.
