One thing Nigeria teaches you very quickly is that personal discipline cannot always compensate for institutional dysfunction. You can make all the right decisions and still suffer the consequences of systems you have absolutely no control over.

You think you are disgracing me, but between you and me, na you dey shame oh @Providusunity

I don’t “do” politics. Yes, you do. “7 years in university” is politics.
“Poor healthcare” is politics.
“No ambulance” is politics. “One chance” is politics. “Kidnapping” is politics. Politics will do you, whether you “do” it or not. Join the movement: wearegst.com

people leave nigeria and start to live such full lives you never imagined possible. no be life we dey live for here o.

Nigeria's biggest problem isn't simply corruption. It's the absence of consequences. Corruption thrives where accountability is optional, injustice becomes normalised, and power provides immunity.

We are not serious people

my only critical feedback for Ebeano is that they should hire more and fill out all their checkout points across all branches. it seems quite condescending and is very annoying that they will have 4/11 tills open with long queues of visibly tired but resigned customers waiting to checkout. and the customer service managers do not care at all. like??? that’s my only beef with them. I always call it out and get a silly excuse.

We also hide cowardice and fear behind cynicism.

I just need Nigerians to understand that ultimately, power resides with the people. But that power is only meaningful when we are willing to exercise it. One of the most fundamental ways to do that is by embracing our civic responsibility and showing up in our numbers to vote. We cannot keep surrendering that power through apathy and then wonder why things remain the way they are.

how we do anything is how we do everything. filthy disorganised markets filthy disorganised bus parks filthy disorganised companies filthy disorganised houses filthy disorganised people filthy disorganised children gbogbo e sha. we can change. and high quality, high emotional intelligence feedback is required to steer us closer. we ALL just need to do our part. it’s easy and hard at the same time and that makes it so funny to me some times.

The Nigerian government, and Nigerians generally, need to start taking aesthetics a lot more seriously. Look at the backdrop of the National Theatre. That beautiful lake, the bridge and the Blue Line running across it. It is such a stunning composition. It should be a defining visual of Lagos, an iconic postcard that people deliberately visit to photograph, much like the Eiffel Tower in Paris. But you get there and the bushes around the lake are overgrown and there is litter everywhere. Aesthetic is not frivolity. So many countries/cities have used aesthetic to create and attract massive economic opportunities.

Ladies, we hope can hear word now…👀 Dekunle Abudu is back on the pod!!! Catch him on the paywall tomorrow, see you there 🫵🏾❤️

When you say “everywhere you go” please where are you @MTNNG in Lagos? Where is the network? Or is it like an inside joke let me port

Look, I get that people are pissed about this thing—there’s a lot to be mad about. But I was raised by a civil servant, and time and again, I’ve learned that systems collapse gradually, not all at once. Nobody shows up on their first day of work and decides to destroy archives or anything. Quite often, it’s a series of small decisions, small things we let fester here and there. Culture is whatever a system rewards or punishes. But the thing about Nigeria is that while we’re always late to one party (the things we’ve lost are lost), I think it’s important to know we’re also always early to another. So much has been lost, but so much can still be done. And it doesn’t have to be big things; just pick the little things. For example, if someone in your family was a teenager when Nigeria became independent, statistically, they might be dead in a decade or way less. Sit with them and press record; they have so much to say, and so few people willing to listen. Just listen and press record. In whatever language they understand, no matter how little your understanding of it. Keep the family album. Use your phone to photograph them. Keep the tapes. Much of what our civilisation learned about fighting COVID-19 came from what we learned about the Spanish Flu of 1918: a mix of official records documenting death rates, etc., and personal correspondence that captured the experience of living through it. Personal history is family history is national history.
