UK Lidl croissants used to be 35p in 2019, it’s now going for 65p. How much is croissant in your country ?😂



9-5 gang, what is your Sunday night routine ? How do you prepare for a week of labour ?

Ghana’s first bike-sharing company is going electric. Aldin Cycles (@aldincycles), founded by young Ghanaian entrepreneurs, is expanding its fleet with pedal-assisted e-bikes. Since launching in 2025, the company has steadily grown a strong user base, surpassing 25,000 sign-ups and recording over 75,000 completed rides, clear evidence of how effective bike-sharing can be on university campuses. As part of its next phase, Aldin Cycles is engaging several major universities, with plans to roll out pilot programs before the end of 2026.



Abroad is weird. UK is even more bizarre, to be honest. Here, your neighbour gives no shiii. At best, they’ll peep through the window to see who just moved in… and that’s it. No "hi", no nothing. The social weirdness here is alarming. You can spend 5 years in a building and not know your neighbours. How would you even know them? You don’t see them. You don’t hear them. If not for my Ring doorbell and the Amazon guy dropping my neighbour’s parcels, I wouldn’t even know they exist. Semi-detached. We share a wall… but it’s like nobody’s there. Can’t hear them, they can’t hear us. In the UK, I’ve even heard of people passing away and nobody knows not until 4–5 days later. It’s beyond just privacy at that point, it's something else.
