Ezeama400:Whats the benefits of the state creation to the common man? Only politicians will benefit from it. Out of all the 36 states how many can independently sustain themselves? Let the states IGR increase first to the point none is waiting of the FG for allocation , then we will another state can be caved out of it. For a state that can bearly stand to be clamouring for more state is like tell telling a 40 year old man that still lives with life parents to go and marry and live alone. That is a recipe for disaster |
Kukutente23:That video was during the rain that flood you see does not last till the next day. There are proper drainage channels there |
SmartPolician:Are you immune to reasonable facts ? |
Onewazobia:Dont mind him . To him every huge snake is anaconda. Some African pythons are even bigger than anaconda |
What are pythons still doing in Nigeria? They want to go extinct? |
Well, your best was not good enough. |
How can you claim the US is running out of missile when there are thousands of local munufacturers there. They have not even fought with Iran |
It may feel like it but that's not the end of a man. I know it may be too late to switch party but hold your ground and be consistent. Your time must come |
He turned leftover inventory into a thriving business. So when you see peiple selling bread at major busstops in buses, cars or tables. This was how the story began. And without formal education, he demonstrated a level of practical business insight that many structured operations would later adopt. “A Proven Model That Has Sustained Livelihoods for Over 20 Years” |
I am about to share with you a compelling history of how my elder brother contributed to opening up a new business model in Lagos in early 2000. Long before selling bread in traffic became a common sight across Lagos, there was a quiet innovation happening on the roadside—one that would later reshape how bread was distributed across the city. It began around 2002. My elder brother had no higher degree, no university education, and no formal training in business strategy. But what he had was something far more practical—sharp observation, courage, and the instinct to act on opportunity. He worked as a sales representative for a bakery, handling daily deliveries across Lagos. His routine was simple: load the bus with bread, supply customers, collect payments, and return. He earns commission. But there was always a gap in the system. At the end of many days, there were leftover loaves—customers who didn’t collect their full orders, cancelled requests, unsold stock sitting idle in the bus on the journey back. Most people saw waste. He saw opportunity. On his return trips, he began stopping at Orile Alaba Rago—a crowded, high-energy hub filled with commuters, buses, and constant movement. Instead of going back with unsold bread, he would park and sell directly to people on the spot. What started as a simple way to clear leftovers quickly revealed something powerful. The bread sold fast. People bought fresh loaves out of convenience. Drivers and passengers didn’t need to leave their vehicles. Very quickly, the results became undeniable: He was making more profit from roadside sales than from his actual delivery work. That discovery changed everything. Gradually, deliveries became secondary. The bus stops became the real market. He had uncovered a simple but powerful truth—traffic wasn’t a delay, it was demand. As the method proved effective, his reach expanded. He began working with multiple bakeries, including AdeOwo Bakery, Odalo Bakery, and later Queensmeal, Leventis Food, and Felis Bakery at Festac Town. Each partnership reinforced the same model—sell where people already are. The bakery owners saw the results—faster turnover, higher sales volume, consistent demand. Instead of resisting the change, they supported it. He was given a bigger bus, not for deliveries, but to scale roadside selling at busy bus stops. By then, what started as leftover sales had become a system. And this is where your own journey connects. I started this journey with him in the early days, learning the rhythm of the road and the art of selling. But after gaining admission into a higher institution, my involvement became seasonal—returning during holidays to join him and experience the business firsthand. One of those moments stands out. At Orile Alaba Rago, on this particulaly busy Saturday day, everything aligned—the crowd, the timing, the demand. That day, we sold about 2,000 loaves of special bread. We initially brought 1500 in a big Renault bus, but by 3 pm the we were counting less than 50 loaves and the day was still young. We had to call the bakery. A smaller bus brought exactly 500 loaves for us at that sme spot. And By 8 pm that same day we had sold 2000 loaves - the highest sold on a particular route. That wasn’t just a good day—it was proof of scale. But his impact didn’t stop with him alone. As the business grew, he brought in members of your family, teaching them the model and giving them a source of livelihood. What he started began to spread within your own household—turning into something bigger than a personal hustle. And even today, one of those family members is still in the business, continuing the same model he pioneered years ago. That is legacy. Over time, others outside the family began to notice. The idea spread across Lagos. More sellers entered the roads. Bread became a common sight in traffic. Eventually, companies formalized the system, sending out branded sales representatives to replicate what had once been an informal innovation. But by then, the foundation had already been laid. My brother didn’t just sell bread. He built a system. He created opportunities for others. |
This man is still pained but he's stating the obvious. |
Is the NP not supposed to be parrading this flashpoint with drones and helicopters? |
Macphenson:Sadly we deserve the government we get because most Nigeria are corrupt naturally poularity just make them do it on larger scale. Everyone is just looking for who to scam. Go to Alaba Inter-Imagine if those ones get into govt? |
Macphenson:That is governace, and thats why most of you missed it. After election is won and lost. Instead of supporting the winner and counting your loss. You and your faourite will still be playing politic and not give the cover ex to any chance to focus. No politician is Nigeria that wants to win election in Nigeria is a scent. You don't even know what goes into winning the primary and general. You think everything is textbook method.? Wake up. There is a reason politics is called a dirty game. sit down there |
Winning the ADC primaries will be more difficult th winning the real election for Obi He is not bring any structure to ADC . Others have delegates that will vitrine the primary |
edogu:Some of you were young during PDP so you don't know much about their ways. PDP also destroyed opposition. Obj made sure he destroyed AD before his reelection in 2003. Tinubu had to form his own party to avoid the doom |
Macphenson:This people should face politics and stop whinning over normal things. Politics is about exploiting the weakness of your opponent. Why would ADC too allow him to scatter them? Some of these ADC claiming to be Saints now were once in a ruling party. It because the sharing formula didnt favour them that made them leave , nothing else. Theyre not on any rescue mission so don't get your hopes high |
The cops should do better . Cat Carch the kinappers , most armed robbers are now into kidnapping. These ones didnt get the memo |
Hndrrxxx:Nigerian politicins do things in their best interest not the masses' Even this is for that purpose. Tinubu can always say its the GAC's call not his. Whereas he's the one controlling the GAC |
Hndrrxxx:Most governors in other state may not want this. Its like a group of godfathers |
Peliman:The dynasty didn't start with Bukola, so it won't end with him |
Galactics:. Obviously the poor man was caught offguard. And its a private school. Since the crowd is cheering , he may not want want to ruin their mood |
BigYash:That girl violated the poor man. Does that girl act like someone that can violated? Everything is about content nowadays. They dont even know where and when to draw the line This can only happen when you a Tiktok content creator as head teacher |
HacheNoire:So Iran won the war by losing its leaders and having most of its armed forces decimated? Just wanna know how you reason |
Pacesetter123:Agreed . But i wont join you to taste an apparently spoilt bread. You go ahead a test it . |
In our quest to jump out of the fry pan . Lets be observant where we want to jump into . Because the antecedents of Atiku and co is still fresh in my own mind . Now , they are talking like they are the messiah . These are people that have been longing to be in power upon they get in , they wont do anything different from what we know them for |
timilehin007:You ppl should read before commenting now |
Its between China and Russia . That what theyve been doing since the 80s - stealing americas info to develop their weapon |
To be honest i dont trust the gathering in ADC all they want is to be in power . Not like that have any desire to make any change .when they get there now you will start hearing excuses. Whats diff about them now ? They were all once PDP members except Aregbe and we all know its revenge that's motivating Aregbe not desire to make Nigeria better. |
I dont think Kwakansao will be disposed to being Obi's vice . For one Obi will want to do two terms and that may distort the zoning formular |
Mattswaggz:Putin wont try it because most Russians will be against it. There are many Jews in Russia . But then Russia did invaded Ukraine who is like a brother . |
Can Peterv Obi say the same ? |
