💔 A broken marriage is a painful reminder that two people can share a home yet feel worlds apart. Behind closed doors are silent tears, unspoken pain, and prayers for what love used to be.😭💔#lagoslife @LagosLifeApp @Shalom_HeyEliy @badoorichy @Big_kelvin_

If it’s just Adeleke, shebi it would have been better. But there are more Accord Party Members in the APC PCC than APC members. All these random Adeleke boys are on the list, but you’ll struggle to see core APC members there. But if we talk now, na wahala. Lol 😂

“What were the boys in your class doing that they watched a female become President” Today makes it the 12th time I have heard it in less than 4 months of becoming President. It’s becoming tiring.

A bathroom hack in NYSC camp. Don’t bathe when you wake up in the morning for parade, just go like that. By the time you come back from parade, they would have washed the bathroom. Then it will be clean and fresh 🫠

No shade to Lagos Life or its creator yeah, because getting 1 million people to voluntarily use something in 3 days is genuinely impressive. But I think we should be careful about what exactly we are celebrating here. Comparing Lagos Life’s 3 days to Netflix, Airbnb, Facebook, Spotify, etc. because they all reached 1 million users, misses the fundamental difference between acquiring attention and creating economic or societal value. Netflix is entertainment, yes, but it built a global distribution and subscription infrastructure. Airbnb facilitates billions in transactions between people who own and need accommodation. Facebook became communication and advertising infrastructure. Spotify built a global music distribution economy. Even where the product is fundamentally entertainment, there is an ecosystem of jobs, transactions, creators, businesses and economic activity around it. Lagos Life getting 1 million Nigerians to play a Sims-like game is primarily 1 million people giving a product their time and attention. And apparently it has generated around $46k in revenue, which is great for the creator, but we should be honest about what that means at a national level. 1 million players is not automatically 1 million units of economic value. And this is where I find the celebration slightly uncomfortable because Nigeria is dealing with an economy that is struggling, institutions that require serious public attention, a judiciary whose independence and decisions matter enormously, and another major election cycle approaching. We are fighting for jobs, productivity, infrastructure, education, healthcare, security and functioning institutions. Yet we can mobilise a million Nigerians in three days around a game, then move on to the next viral game when the novelty wears off. Lagos Run was yesterday’s obsession; Lagos Life is today’s. Tomorrow it will be something else. And truthfully, this is actually the fascinating part - the problem isn’t that Nigerians lack attention, we clearly do have it. The problem is what we repeatedly succeed in directing that attention toward. If one Nigerian developer can mobilise 1 million Nigerians organically, with virtually no advertising or external funding, imagine what that same distribution power could accomplish if it were deliberately attached to civic education, local commerce, skills, public-interest technology, Nigerian products, fundraising, education or even election awareness. I am not saying people shouldn’t have fun yeah, we absolutely should, and Lagos Life may have genuine cultural and technological value. But 1 million people playing a game is not, by itself, evidence that Nigeria has created 1 million units of progress. “What could we get 1 million Nigerians to do in three days if we actually cared about the outcome?”
