Drama between a man and the driver of a Sienna vehicle after he blocked the vehicle for driving one-way, right in front of a police station. The man insisted that the driver must turn back and do the right thing. πŸ“Ή: Kolamide // TT

The Nigerian influencer playbook: 1. Get 5 minutes of fame 2. Open a "flagship store" 3. Sell basic apparels for outrageous prices 4. Call your friends to hype it up 5. Let Twitter argue for free clout The cycle never fails.

The first public project I did with @Tunde_OD and @SamuelOtigba was our Internship and SIWES program and I think we had over 50,000 people applied, we paired thousands of students to companies and got a lot of successful hires. Then we did the laptop support program in partnership with so many amazing individuals like @aproko_doctor , @Ace_KYD , @falzthebahdguy , @TemidayoOniosun , @ThankgodIzime , @Enioluwa , @itsboffin, @MaxitechGlobal and others and we gave out minimum of 5 laptops per round. Now this time, we’ve already put together a 250M Naira fund to support a particular set of Nigerians with their career. This is me trying to shoot a video for our latest project and omoooo it’s stressful ooo. Application link will open soon.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else

Nigeria’s urban fashion scene is currently a paradox. We are arguably at the height of our cultural influence globally, yet locally, the industry is being suffocated by a wave of aggressive mediocrity. #fashion#lagos

If you’ve looked at a price tag lately and wondered if you’re paying for the fabric or the founder’s ego, you’re not alone. Here’s the reality of the "luxury" hustle in Lagos and beyond..

We’ve entered an era where someone buys a wholesale blank t-shirt, slaps a generic "deep" quote or a basic logo on it, and calls it a "High-End Capsule Collection." There is a distinct difference between minimalism and laziness.

Minimalism: Focuses on the silhouette, the weight of the textile, and the precision of the stitch. β€’ Laziness: A basic cotton tee sold for 150,000 NGN because the brand owner has a large Instagram following.
