“The race is not to the swift… but time and chance happen to them all.” The concept of time and chance as it relates to success is a powerful factor.

@Letter_to_Jack People should go read the role the market women played during the legal tussle between PBAT and Gani Fawehinmi. You’ll do well to have Yoruba women in your corner when you’re in a position of power.

They have always had the fearless warrior blood pumping in their veins; they are just very calculated. Their foremothers, led by Funmilayo Ransom Kuti, dethroned a sitting Alake of Egbaland with a peaceful protest as far back as 1949. They won on all three reasons: taxation was removed, female representation became a custom till today in government, and the king (Oba Ademola II) was forced to abdicate the throne. They only stopped after all their demands were met. When they decide to fight, they fight to a standstill until the opposing threat surrenders completely.

@theorient2910 @DamilolaLizz @Sola_peperempe Crazy thing. That phrase is proper Yoruba loosely translated to English. They can as well just speak Yoruba to the child.

@abioladavids @DamilolaLizz @Sola_peperempe Open the door down 🤣 I heard this one yesterday from yoruba parents who are always speaking English to their children

Trying to speak Yoruba to a kid: Her mum: agh she doesn’t understand Yoruba ooo (with pride) The said child’s spoken English: mummy iyaff fall down , come and be going Me in my mind : iya meji je okugbe yin 😂😂😂💔💔💔💔

Can’t blame Femi Kuti when he said if you need inspiration for any of your struggle, just play Fela’s song and his. He’s done with any physical struggle. In whatever you do, just don’t die.

Politics is really not for the faint of heart. Can’t believe a day would come when Abacha days would be romanticized. Those that died at Abule-Egba junction, Pen Cinema, Mushin, Iyana Ipaja might just be around now if they didn’t go out to fight for what they believed in.

I’m super excited for the 45 student startups that got 50m equity capital from the FG. This is how to encourage innovation amongst already-distracted student population. Hats off to Dr Tunji Alausa and Bosun Tijani.

@chibuzo_mikel It’s funny how people are digging deep in the replies. Leave emotions aside—Chibuzor is correct. What the government will earn from garment sales or exports will come mainly from taxes and levies, and that simply can’t rival oil revenue. That claim is clearly an exaggeration.

😂😂😂😂 If it was when I was 18 years old, I may have believed this kind of statement. But today, I analyse everything (and that's why I am always getting people angry 😂😂) and frankly speaking this kind of statement (whether it comes from Peter Obi, Atiku or Tinubu himself) is very unrealistic and I'll tell you why. In 2025, NNPCL remitted N14.7 trillion into the federation account for sharing by the three tiers of government while NUPRC remitted N8.5 trillion. That means a total of N23.2 trillion REVENUE came from oil out of the N35 trillion inflows into the federation account in 2025. Mind you, the N23.2 trillion is not the total amount earned from crude oil sales, it's the portion of it that flows into the federation account after the oil companies must have made necessary cost deductions and taken their profit. So, when you talk about REVENUE for Nigeria, you're talking about the money that will enter into the public purse. So, I wonder how on earth Aba shoe and garment industry will generate N23.2 trillion (around $17 billion) in tax revenue for Nigeria annually! For context, the GDP of Abia in 2023 is under N4 trillion (less than $3 billion). GDP o, not revenue. So, when we make statements, let's tone down on the unrealistic projections please. I like facing reality. Happy Palm 🌴 Sunday

May Democracy continue to be the tyranny of the majority over the minority(in Nigeria). By this logic, the president should help you govern all the 36 states. Twitter is not real. The majority will definitely continue to have their way.

@Gboye_Rave Recognizing that someone is smarter than you is already a sign that you’re engaging with them in a thoughtful and respectful way.

How do you deal with a person smarter than you?

A polygamous home often becomes a breeding ground for deep-seated hypocrisy. Peace and harmony na fairytale. 🌚

@taadelodun Even if you own a house in Banana Island, showing up in an Uber in some parts of Lagos can still get you sidelined—while someone driving a modest tokunbo car is given more regard. Unlearning and ending classism will take another generation to change, that’s if it’s even possible

@taadelodun As soon as you’re financially able to own a car in Nigeria as a young person, do it. Classism is deeply ingrained in our society, and it isn’t changing anytime soon. People will size you up the moment you arrive for meetings, often tying what you drive to your perceived worth.

I am 40, and I don't have a car yet. My confidence is 1000000x. Put me in a room with Dangote or Donald Trump. I will walk up and talk to them. I coach millionaires every day! You don't need external validation when you have worked on yourself.

Patience and the passage of time can sometimes feel like a fool’s paradise, an illusion of progress. Yet, in truth, they have the power to reveal, to heal and to liberate, so long as one does not become passive or lifeless in the waiting.

@ChuksEricE “Pásán tí a fi ná ìyálé ń bẹ lórí àjà fún ìyàwó.” Standards or consequences applied before will still apply to newcomers. It’s only a matter of time.

“All the l!es some married men tell just to make us become 2nd wives, it’s after the marriage your eyes will clear. That’s when you’ll realise all they want is to fv¢k. They’ll claim the first wife was forced marriage and that they never loved her” -Wife

It’s staggering how large a portion of the population has become unteachable, uninformed, and increasingly unemployable. Just look at the quality of discourse across social media. Platforms that reward rage-bait and outrage have only made the problem worse.

Wait, this is mad funny! Like why me Lord?! 🤣😂

@egi_nupe I think you should not stop sharing your legal opinions—most of the people who follow you because of this know they are mostly not borne out of malice or ill-intent. Accepting to be gagged would only diminish that long niche you’ve carved for yourself on this app.

I for like put mouth and say one or two things about this matter of a senior lawyer sent to prison by a magistrate but they have warned me not to put mouth on any lawyer matters on this app again.
