I am from south west and have been here in Lagos since 1993 .So,I have some thing in common with Lagos state .Does your generation have something in common with Lagos and yet they keep coming to Lagos with no relatives here or even where to lay their head on except under bridge til they pick up selling in traffic business ?
you should be ashamed of yourself. You're from southwest claiming LAGOS.

My generation has several things in common with LAGOS plus the entity called Nigeria. If you think I shouldn't be in Lagos, then go ahead and change the Nigerian constitution that gives every Nigerian the right to live in any part of Nigeria.

President Tinubu is a Yoruba man, if you think certain people do not have the right to live in Lagos, let him modify the constitution. It's as simple as that.

You're spitting things you like over Lagos that is not even your state of origin. You moved to LAGOS just the same way every Nigerian moved to Lagos.

As a tribal bigot that you are..... My message had to make you feel miserable.....

That's how a video of a Nigerian boxer and a Ghanaian boxer surface and on the comment section, innocent Nigerians where praising the Nigerian guy for winning... You Igbos flooded the comment section calling the guy an Igbo man because he put on isiagwu or whatever you call that outfit.....

I was very disappointed and felt bad.... You people are quick to play this tribal game and also act like victims....
Please repeat what you typed, I did not read it.

RIP Baba

Your wealth came at your old age......

Even tho people might think it wouldn't be meaningful to gather such wealth at your late age..... It will mean well for your children and grandchildren......

Go well.....As you pass your blessings to your children and may you watch over them as you take your place behind your creator.....

I really will not blame his understanding at the moment. Many of us come from poor background, and one sign of poverty is thinking one money you have not touched yet is that big! It shows the rate of extreme poverty across the country.

Baba, I no wan talk ni, make e no be like say na pride. Obviously the idea of "millions" seems to becloud their judgment, they don't realize that millions in Naira is just worth a few thousands.

How can someone use "wealth" to describe ordinary 2 million, abi wealth has another definition?

Walahi dem never see any money for their lives 😂

“His photographs changed my life, and now he has returned to his creator."

A centenarian drummer, who became the face of Nigeria's Non-Fungible Token (NFT) community in 2022, has passed away.

Photographer Adisa Olashile, who captured the iconic image of the elderly drummer years ago, shared the heartbreaking news on his social media.


Many recalled Olashile’s generosity, as he donated 50% of the proceeds from the NFT sale of the man's photo to support him, earning widespread praise for his kindness.

That was very thoughtful of @adisaolashile to have donated 50% of the NFT photo sales proceeds to Baba whose Earthly cycle of physical existence just ended.

Great post.
