On the Fela and Wizkid conversation. Fela is unquestionably great, but insisting on “the greatest” is limiting and ultimately makes us smaller. What we’ve really failed at is telling the stories of many of our other greats and the feats they achieved largely because we haven’t

Lagos so called “elites” that live in lekki are some of the biggest idiots in Nigeria. Tonight I came down from the car to pass the traffic (not my first time) and I saw adults, some looking like MDs of companies in big cars with glasses on like responsible people insulting me

No one de-brands Nigeria like Nigerians. When you ancestors we referring to Nigeria as the “Giant of Africa”, “A land flowing with milk and honey” what did you think that was? They were positioning for investment, attracting the best minds. Yet since the 70s and 80s and 90s

I have since learnt not to take these compulsively loud and uninformed Twitter herd too seriously. If you do, you do so at your own peril and at risk to your own intelligence. Twitter has a lot of bright people but countless noise makers that drown meaningful conversations.

I have been saying this forever. We need to develop the skill sets that build the country. Artisans are now relegated to the bottom. When they should be very important. ( I wanna be a baller, I don’t want to be a mechanic) We need TV shows and other image building ideas that

I believe the president is on the right track. If we don't address this once and for all now, we won't achieve what we need. Our challenges stem from deep systemic failures, and we must fix these systems to stop this cycle of dysfunction before it falls on our children.

President @officialABAT does not get it at all. He's so far removed and detached from the realities of at least 80% of the population he governs. You can't be screaming "reforms" "hard decisions" everyday, requesting for sacrifice whilst you don't demonstrate the need for it.

True. Unnecessary words are a pain. But there is beauty in the use of words aswell. They shorten explanations and convey perspective. As with most African languages, the Yorubas enjoy using words and while a lot of same spellings might mean very different things, the power of

Amazing. He just un-marketed Nigerian made vehicles in a few words. Years of R&D, advertising, salaries, loans servicing thrown into the drain in a few seconds. Nigerian vehicles are not good quality and they are unreliable…that’s what he just said on National TV. So

@Ilori001 There's a fascinating parallel between this situation and that of millennials globally. African countries and Nigeria case in point. Millennials are arguably the most educated generation, yet their achievements are often underrepresented and not consolidated. As

Please refrain from promoting regressive thinking and mindsets to young audiences. When you have a wide-reaching platform, your influence extends beyond mere words. It's important to consider whether you have personal experience starting from scratch and building something,

In the middle of the noise on X, the editorial team @popcentraltv decided to reach out to @rubylaren to get to know her and learn about her job at Jaguar Land Rover. Next time you drive a Range Rover, be proud you have a Sister helping to make the SUV safe and cool.
