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.

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.
Oh you mean the the "grass that is greener on the other side" is synthetic astro turf π€£ππ€£π

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, weβve 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 itβs stressful ooo.
Application link will open soon.

Nigeriaβs 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.

If youβve looked at a price tag lately and wondered if youβre paying for the fabric or the founderβs ego, youβre not alone. Hereβs the reality of the "luxury" hustle in Lagos and beyond..

Weβve 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.
