New music in a bit 🤍

Around 2019 I used to visit my friends that lived in OPIC Estate around the Agbara axis. Back then there were two routes leading to the area. The longer route required taking a bike and took roughly 45 minutes, while the shorter route involved crossing a pako bridge, paying ₦20 and walking for about 15 minutes

The area was still developing with construction projects springing up everywhere. At some point developers wanted to fix the road leading to the wooden bridge so they could transport building materials and trucks to their sites through the shorter route instead of taking the longer one

The people collecting ₦20 from everyone crossing the bridge opposed the development because it was their source of income

Think about that. A handful of people were willing to obstruct development across an entire community just to protect their little source of income

And this is the same kind of thing that happens in so many places across Nigeria and in different sectors. Personal interests repeatedly take priority over collective progress

Nigerians must never forget that it was during Tinubu’s administration that the presidential villa was disconnected from the national grid and is now fully solar powered

Person wey talk say if he no give us light make we no vote for am don dey campaign aggressively

Sitting president dey make campaign promises like new candidate, as if he no get the power to do am now
