concho: Only the people who refuse to let go of their old ways remain broke in Lagos.
And by “old ways,” I mean the reality you knew before setting foot in Lagos. Lagos has a way of making you realise that the person you were before you came may not be the person you need to become to make serious money. 😂
I spent one year in Lagos, even though I was very sick, and in that one year, I made three times more than I could have made in Onitsha in an entire year.
My sister was crazy. Her husband was even crazier. 😂 Everything they talked about in Lagos was in millions.
Imagine my kid brother, an ordinary photographer, asking for ₦15m for just a few days’ shoot. Werey was liquid 😂, but he was crazy too.
He wouldn’t even cover my wedding because he would do it for free, but I would still have to spend millions on logistics alone. 😂
My sister, who was once a proper mummy’s girl in Enugu, could now cross a five-lane expressway in about five seconds. 😂
Her husband would wake up by 3AM to get ready for work. I stayed in their house for a whole year, but I barely saw the man except briefly at night. 😂
That was Lagos.
I became crazy too. 😂 For three months, I caught whatever I could and left Lagos.
I may never be Obi Cubana in Onitsha, but I’m King. 😂
For those who have lived and done business in both Lagos and other Nigerian cities, did Lagos genuinely change your mindset about money, or is the whole “Lagos mentality” overrated?
crusufixo: Gbam...however, I just did not want Morocco to win it and am glad they did not. I was even rooting for Cameroon to win after they defeated the falcons. But on a serious note. CAF needs to be investigated for always awarding hosting rights to Morocco for tournaments. Congrats Cameroon well deserved
why you no tell ham say Cameroon 🇨🇲 are central Africa not west Africa
Glimpsetv: Heavy rainfall on Saturday, August 15, 2026, left parts of Abuja submerged, with flash floods trapping residents, submerging vehicles, and disrupting movement across several districts of the Federal Capital Territory.
Areas badly affected included Wuse 2, notably Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent; Gudu, around the Delight Event Centre; the bridge linking Gaduwa and Durumi; Efab Estate in Lokogoma; Katampe; and parts of Area 8, Mabushi, and Asokoro. Videos circulating on social media showed expensive cars partially or completely underwater, floodwaters pouring into residential compounds, and motorists stranded as roads became impassable.
One resident filmed the flooded Ebeano-Gudu road and bridge, appealing directly to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for urgent intervention. News outlets and X users shared clips of the chaos, with many noting that even well-planned areas like Wuse 2 were overwhelmed.
The heavy downpour also caused severe flooding around the Delight Event Centre, leaving the premises and surrounding areas submerged in muddy floodwater. A resident who was driving through the area was heard lamenting the extent of the flooding.
Another video highlighted the newly constructed Katampe Road, with a resident drawing attention to how heavily the road had been flooded.
The flooding has renewed long-standing concerns about Abuja’s drainage systems, blocked waterways, and the conversion of green spaces. Federal agencies had earlier warned of elevated flood risks during the 2026 rainy season, particularly between August and September.
As the waters recede, residents are counting losses and calling for better infrastructure and maintenance to prevent a repeat. In a city designed to showcase modern planning, Saturday’s downpour served as a stark reminder that nature still has the final say.
Puntingnoob: The amount of usdt I wanted to buy was too low, hence the refusal from the vendors I approached. I was able to buy $2 worth of the usdt from minipay, then I sent the usdt to a friend bybit account. My stake account was credited with my friend bybit account

Gboga: *Abia APC Chairman Chijioke Chukwu Disburses N4m Grant to 20 Ugwueke Women.*
The Abia State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, has disbursed four million naira to 20 women in Ugwueke, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, as a business support grant.
The grant, provided through the Chijioke Chukwu Foundation and the second batch of its 50-million-naira endowment fund, was presented during the annual August Women’s Meeting at Ugwueke Secondary School. Each beneficiary received a cheque of 200,000 naira.
Speaking at the event, Chukwu said the initiative was his contribution towards alleviating poverty and improving the economic well-being of women in his community. He explained that the grant is disbursed twice yearly to support women’s businesses, in addition to a monthly stipend of 5,000 naira being given to more than 300 women in Ugwueke.
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the former lawmaker lamented what he described as the rejection of the APC in the last election and urged the women to support APC candidates. He said the party had attracted several development projects to the Bende Federal Constituency, including road construction, renovation of school blocks and installation of solar-powered facilities.
He further assured that the male folk would be factored into the initiatives in the next phase of the program, and vowed that the initiative would continue until he lives this world or when he financial strength could no longer carry it.
Also speaking, the Deputy Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, commended the initiative and pledged 10 million naira in support of the women. Kalu also highlighted some of his achievements in the National Assembly, saying they were geared towards improving the lives and welfare of constituents in Bende.

geoworldedu: Personally I feel Satan will outperform APC politically. I'd rather vote Satan in any political party than vote for an APC candidate. Omorr, satan is a learner in wickedness compared with the agent of chain(APC).
