Larger numbers of militants seen entering Mali’s capital of Bamako this morning, as elements of the Malian Army and Africa Corps have seemingly collapsed across the country upon almost immediate contact with the FLA and JNIM.



Drone warfare has reached such a level that many fighters have lost hope of escaping or resisting. For example, the final strike on the barracks is terrifying.

BREAKING: The United States government will ban World Cup attendees if they fit the profile of being antisemitic after their social media is scanned.

You see, this is my issue with some of these Naija fashion brands. A lot of these guys reach out to me saying they’d love to make something for me, but their pricing ends up discouraging me from supporting them. Maybe I’m not rich enough to be in their target market, and that’s fine but I think the bigger issue in the so-called Naija luxury space is the attempt to skip the hard process it takes to truly belong there. You can’t price like the top 0.1% of global luxury while bypassing the years of craftsmanship, brand building, attention to detail, and cultural weight that justify it. Those are the things that come to mind when I’m forking out £1,500 at Harrods for a Louboutin or Ferragamo. Luxury is earned over time through consistency, obsessive quality, and a story people genuinely want to buy into not this sleazy attempt to signal exclusivity. Anyways, I wish this guy all the best.

One reason why very very few fashion brands have survived beyond their founders or for even two decades of consistent relevance in Nigeria is because they keep hustling for the share of wallet of the 0.1-1% of elites that can afford their prices. Most times personal networks of the founders. While China makes a kill serving the remaining 99%. You treat your own largest market segment with disdain, then leave them to China to serve. Then complain that China is threatening your market. Self sabotaging behavior.
