Dear women, tell your stories more.
Dear Nigerian women, tell your stories more.
Dear accomplished women, tell your stories, YOUR story not the marriage story, your OWN story.

One of the reasons I stopped going to church was that I couldn’t reconcile the lifestyle I wanted to live with what the Bible taught.
The Bible has clear positions on premarital sex, modesty, drinking and several other things. I couldn’t imagine going to church every Sunday, reading my Bible and constantly feeling guilty because I knew I was living in ways that contradicted what I understood Christianity to teach.
What I find interesting tho is when “Christians” try to water down or reinterpret biblical teachings to make room for the very things those teachings condemn, picking and choosing parts of the Bible they like. The recent debate on the timeline about whether premarital sex is a sin is a good example. I find it quite funny, honestly.

Men understand consent, they don't harm women out of ignorance, they're very well aware of what they're doing, they just don't care
Femicide has been on the rise. There’s insufficient education for young men on the concept of consent, manifesting in the form of rape festivals here and there. There aren’t enough conversations around emotional regulation and mental health support for men. We still live in a society that clowns men for being vulnerable or emotionally expressive. The internet is saturated with manosphere and red-pill content, and we’re still dealing with rigid gender expectations imposed on young men. But none of these qualify as an “attack on masculinity” to you? Lol.
Oga, wear your jeans and shut up.

HOUSING:
Our housing plan is not solely for graduates. The housing lottery will be opened to registered residents of Lagos.
Priority will be given to;
1) Civil servants.
2) Indigenes and members of the communities the project is built on.
3)Vulnerable members of our society e.g single mothers and pensioners.
4) Registered residents of Lagos.
Lastly our aim is to redefine and set new standards, when I say one bedroom / self contained, this apartment type/design is what I am describing.
Aggregating micro-apartments with modular construction not only maximises our use of land it further gives us a better cost to benefit ratio.

If you’re building a startup, project, business… whatever. From scratch?
Andy Burnham and Mamdani shouldn’t be posting and giving updates about their projects more than you.
You’re starting from nothing.
Give us a show. On Twitter. On IG. On Tiktok.
Let’s get excited to see you.
And then get tired of seeing you.
Then come to terms with the fact that you’re here to stay.
Then recognise you as a legend in the making.
Your shyness is keeping you mediocre.
Be very public and carry your work on head.
Bye.

He said the advantage lagos has over other states is continuity with government (APC) at the same time showing us a 15 yr old plan this continuous government has not implemented yet he’s using his energy to criticize a new candidate’s plan rather than criticize current government
Yesterday GRV said he’s going to abandon the 4th mainland bridge idea and replace them with 3 proposed parallel bridges.
Unfortunately his proposal is worse than what the Lagos state government currently has in place.
I don’t know if he did that ignorantly (which is an embarrassment to his MIT architectural degree) or he intentionally twisted the facts to deceive the gullible public who don’t have access to the plans of the state.

One thing I have learnt working and speaking with successful lawyers and firms is that: Nobody will teach or tell you their trade or success secrets. You have to hustle for your own and hold it to your chest. But one common pattern I noticed is that they are very big on relationships. Most of them have been family friends, colleagues from school or related one way or the other to owners of big companies, top government officials and political figures. That’s why if you are a first-generation lawyer in this country, just plan yourself to first see shege for the first 5-10years of your practice.
Retainership is ultimately where the cashflow is in legal practice. I met a lawyer yesterday who has one company that pays his law firm N50,000,000 in annual relationship fee.
10 of such clients means his law firm earns half a billion from retainerships annually.
I know there are top guns law firms who get paid 20 folds of that annually by a single client but sharing a space briefly with a lawyer who is does not run a tier 1 law firm but is on multimillion naira retainers is different.
This is what competence gives you.
Lawyers dey get money but most of them dey hide updates from their colleagues. 💀

Nigerians do not know how to have normal connections to public figures. They are trapped in unhealthy parasocial relationships with politicians. Once a Nigerian has accepted a politician as their god and personal savior they lose all sense.
Do you want a public servant or a king? A politician you can hold accountable or a prophet who you kneel before and fellate?
Politicians are not your friends. They are not your gods. They are not your saviors. They should be working for you and should always be challenged, especially when you are voting for them.
