In 2008 we printed 10,000 copies of a magazine and gave them away free. The cover star was chosen by readers, not by us. Uche Eze guest-edited an edition before BellaNaija was BellaNaija. The founding story 👇🏾 naija-times.com/p/we-saw-it-…

Is she right about men? She says women have it backwards — that a man will love a woman with no money, no car, no job, no savings, and never once complain. Vote : YES or NO. One word. No explanations. Video by @faveanthonyy on Instagram #WhatNaijaThinks #ThePeoplesTake

Is your home too hot to sleep in? This last hot season: too hot to sleep, or did you manage? Comment YES or NO. One word. No explanations.

Eko Bridge is more than a way across the lagoon. It is part of the infrastructure that shaped how Lagos connects and moves. What can a bridge tell us about the city we inherited, and whether its infrastructure is ready for the city we have become? Hidden in Plain Sight

Was she right to do this to her sister? Water. A bucket of it. Over an outfit. Every house has a version of this argument. Comment YES or NO. One word. No explanations. We ask. You vote. We reveal. Video by @Jojooflele watch the full clip on her fb page

Nigeria's dependence on foreign cloud infrastructure is estimated to cost the economy $850m annually, according to a Luminate study reported by BusinessDay. Are we building our own digital economy, or renting someone else's? #BehindTheHeadline

Nigeria’s proposed National Policing Bill raises a question beyond federal vs local policing: who holds the police accountable? Funding, political interference, command structures and consequences for abuse matter as much as decentralisation. The draft is under review. #Nigeria

Ownership or nothing. #HiddenInPlainSight

Aba’s electricity model looks like something other states should copy. But that’s the wrong question. The real question: what would another state need to make it work? Gas, generation, distribution, investment — and customers willing to pay? #QBTQ

Lagos wants to become a $1 trillion economy by 2052. But what would actually have to change to get there? Land? Infrastructure? Congestion? Flooding? Productivity? The target is $1tn. The real question is where the growth comes from. #QBTQ. youtube.com/shorts/V6qqAJysG…
