What can our generation build so that Africa is not described as potential but as a continent actualizing its dreams.

We ordered our kitchens from Kohler-design (german american brand, one of the best in the world), but the marble quotation they proposed was nearly three times the actual cost and they are not known for marbles. Sooooo, as a sharp businessman, I went directly to the marble manufacturer and secured a far better deal. Unfortunately, over the past four years, that order slipped through the cracks. With over 100 managers and expatriates on the team, it was simply forgotten 😭😭😭. But today, by God's grace, the container of premium marble for the Lucrezia by Sujimoto kitchens finally arrived. That delivery completes everything required for the project. We made a promise. The economy tested us. The doubters played their part. Yet, here we are. The 15-floor masterpiece stands tall. The Agege boy has finally kept his promise. Over 300 containers in the last 5yrs. The last container arrived today... What God cannot do does not exist. #LucreziaBySujimoto #Sujimoto #LuxuryRealEstate #LuxuryHomes #RealEstateNigeria #PropertyInvestment

In a hotel room in northeast Nigeria, I opened a leading AI chatbot, turned my laptop toward a former Boko Haram commander, and asked if he'd used it. He nodded. "You type in the question… like 'How can I build a bomb?', and then it tells you how. It is like a human robot. We used it a lot."

Dear Gbadebo @GRVlagos A lot of people are genuinely concerned about the waste situation in parts of Lagos, and that concern is understandable. Waste is not something you can talk around. If refuse is sitting on your street, beside your market, close to your bus stop, or inside the drainage near your house, the only thing that matters to you is that it should be removed. And that is fair. But it may also help to explain the scale of what is being managed, and what is actually being done. Lagos generates about 13,000 tonnes of waste every day. Not weekly. Every day. In May alone, LAWMA and PSP operators evacuated about 418,500 tonnes of waste across the state, which comes to an average of about 13,200 tonnes daily. That is not a small operation. It involves hundreds of PSP operators, public waste teams, transfer and disposal operations, street sweepers, enforcement teams, customer service staff, drivers, loaders, supervisors and monitoring officers working across a very large and difficult city. Just to mention, during the 2026 Hajj, Saudi Sanitation Authorities announced that a total of over 472 tons of waste were generated from Mina and Muzdalifah. This is total waste generated by pilgrims all over the world in 5 days. Still, nobody is pretending that everything is fine everywhere. Some communities have had delays. Some PSP operators have not performed well. Some routes have grown beyond the capacity that was originally assigned to them. In some areas, road access is poor. During the rains, movement into disposal sites can become slower. Trucks break down. Diesel and spare parts are expensive. Payment compliance is also weak in many places, and when people do not pay for waste service, the operators struggle to maintain trucks, pay crews and keep to schedule. These are not excuses but the harsh realities that have to be fixed. That is why LAWMA has been reviewing weak routes, replacing and sanctioning underperforming operators, increasing monitoring, and deploying evacuation teams to pressure points. As of last month (May), 442 PSP operators were active across Lagos while 27 routes were under review for service improvement. LAWMA also received 474 complaints and service requests that month, which are now part of how the agency is identifying weak spots and following up on operator performance. There is also a daily blackspot operation that many people do not see unless it is happening near them. LAWMA clears 3,000 black spots every day across 57 routes. These are the road medians, market edges, illegal dumping points, bus stops, setbacks and open spaces where people keep dropping waste outside the normal collection system. Some are cleared in the morning and abused again by night. That is one of the hardest parts of the job. This is why enforcement has become more serious. In 2025, LAWMA recorded 1,023 incidents of illegal dumping and other waste violations across the state. Out of these, 447 cases were referred for prosecution. The surveillance teams also identified 431 scavengers and reconciled 145 properties with their assigned PSP operators. The data showed that much of the illegal dumping happens between midnight and early morning, and the waste is not only household refuse. It includes construction debris and even hazardous waste in some cases. So when people say “just clear it,” we agree. It must be cleared. But we also have to stop the same locations from being turned back into dumpsites again and again. 1/2

It goes against my egalitarian instincts, but the facts don't care about my feelings. This is my parents' house where I grew up, and I know 99.999% of my audience can never find this place on a map of Lagos. But it exists, and this was my everyday reality until I moved out at 25. Imagine thinking that I could experience the world through the same frame of reality as someone who grew up eating Indomie Instant Noodles with their parents and 7 siblings in a room-and-parlour next to an evangelical church with a loudspeaker outside. Imagine trying to explain to these people that the oyibo paradise they saw on their old CRT television in those American movies after NTA Newsline, is actually a parasite economy built on their poverty. How could they possibly even have the frame of reality to comprehend such a thing? Imagine trying to explain geopolitics to people who haven't had the opportunity to taste whole milk before. It's almost pointless. I must sound like I'm absolutely insane to them.

One country, more babies than a continent.

Individually, we hustle and excel. In the school system I worked for in the US for over three decades, it was well known that Nigerian youngsters outperformed Asians and whites, and we would half joke that if their scores were to be excluded from the group, the academic achievement rating would drop significantly. Children have been known to cry home with a B grade, lol. There is no profession in the US that Nigerians are not represented in, and they do exceedingly well. The strength in the individual is not mirrored in the collective. As a collective, Nigeria presents as unintelligent. It's a sad triumph of the individual culture of excellence over that of the country. Looking at today's Nigeria you would not believe that it is a land of over-achievers. The question is: Why is this so? I totally understand why anyone would wail in despair, "We are not intelligent people." It's the collective. And, I'll be back from my ancestors in a century and Nigeria will still be the way it is today. Unless someone bells the cat.

Vaginal opening was absent in this female, yet she became pregnant. This female was well aware that she had no vagina. After disappointing attempts at conventional intercourse, she began experimenting with oral sex. One day, she was rushed to the hospital with a stab injury. Two men were also brought in with knife injuries. It was not entirely clear who had stabbed whom, but all three participants in the altercation were admitted with wounds. She had a stab wound in the upper abdomen and underwent surgery. Under general anaesthesia, an exploratory incision was made, revealing two holes in the stomach—the result of the single abdominal stab wound passing through the wall. Both defects were repaired. The stomach was noted to be empty at the time of surgery, with no gastric contents seen in the abdominal cavity. Nevertheless, the abdominal cavity was thoroughly cleaned. The patient recovered rapidly with routine postoperative care and was discharged home after 10 days. Precisely 278 days (approximately 9 months) later, she was readmitted to the hospital with abdominal pain. Abdominal examination revealed a term pregnancy with cephalic fetal presentation. The uterus was contracting regularly, and the fetal heart was audible. Inspection of the vulva showed no vagina—only a shallow skin dimple below the urethra. An emergency caesarean section was performed and a live male infant weighing 2800 g was delivered with no major abnormalities. The pieces came together when she was interviewed by a sympathetic nurse. Just before the stabbing incident, she had been practising fellatio with her new boyfriend when they were caught by her former lover. A knife fight ensued, during which she sustained the abdominal stab injury. Later she was operated on at the hospital. Somewhere during this sequence of events, semen entered the abdominal cavity and reached the fallopian tube, resulting in fertilization and subsequent pregnancy. After being discharged following treatment for the stab injury, she became worried about her increasing abdominal size but only doubted that she could be pregnant. The postoperative period after the caesarean section was uneventful. However, eight months later—while she was still breastfeeding—she developed abdominal pain again. This time it was due to menstrual blood pooling inside her uterus (cryptomenorrhoea). An artificial vaginal canal was surgically constructed to allow the blood to drain, but it later became blocked. Due to crippling pain when her child was 2.5 years old, she eventually underwent a hysterectomy. By that time, the son bore a strong resemblance to the legal father.

Is there a good reason why I can't live in Benin Republic and come to Lagos once a month? Like if I find a seaside estate or something there Why can't I live there and do Lagos in one-week batches every month?

In the grocery store in the UK and Nigeria, the eggs are stored outside. When I to put my eggs outside that I bought from the grocery store in America, it went bad. I even did the water test to make sure Why can’t I store the eggs that I buy at American stores outside?

One honest conversation we need to have about Morocco is its deliberate investment in infrastructure. They have modern stadiums across major cities, highways that actually connect the country, and a functioning rail network. Their cities are organised, clean, and well maintained, supported by mass transit systems. If it frustrates us to see Morocco host major African tournaments, then sub-Saharan Africa must level up. Emotion will not compensate for planning, execution, and long-term investment.
