We really are poor people, and it’s not even about money
We are poor in conscience. Poor in morals. Poor in honor.
The country cannot change if the masses don’t change. Period!

If you gave me a dictionary and a thesaurus, I still wouldn't be able to describe the beauty of the sunsets in Madinah.

This moron is now in the comment section fighting South Africans who have descended on her tweet to mock her. You think turning your country into a dumping ground for your frustrations is harmless banter, forgetting that, beyond the South Africans having a field day at your expense, right-wing extremists in the UK are taking note of your contempt for your own country and would happily use it against you when the opportunity arises.
Many of you contribute to Nigeria’s reputational crisis abroad, especially those whose criminal proclivities overshadow the honest work and accomplishments of the overwhelming majority of Nigerians living overseas. You cannot spend your days advertising your country as a hopeless place and then act surprised when foreigners weaponise your words against you. Let’s see if you get to stay in the UK when Tommy Robinson and his co-travellers do to you what South African blacks are doing to you.

Abuja roads are great. Really great
But they are not excellent and here are my reasons
❌ Bad or absent shoulders everywhere
❌ Over 80% of the roads are unmarked
❌ Not enough road signs
❌ Zero traffic law enforcement
❌ NURTW and their bus stops everywhere

"a broken clock is right twice a day" that depends on the nature of its breakage. if it runs at a slow or inconsistent rate, it may very well be right zero times a day

A lot of Nigerian industries survive on mass laziness and general lack of information seeking.
Visa’s
Car purchases
Flight bookings and many more cases

This is not poverty, it's illiteracy and greed mixed with pure stupidity this is how largely the whole population think.

The fundamental problem is that this isn't a luxury development, in either its finishes or its design.
Your suggestions are all genuine improvements, but none of them would fix the developers' fundamental misunderstanding of what luxury is.
Take the wine display. The builder argued on Twitter that AC can keep wines chilled in that open, sunlit living room. That shows no understanding of how wine is stored. UV light spoils wine, which is why it's kept in dark cellars. Wine needs a steady 12–14°C. That large glazed room cooled with an AC, warming up every time the power goes, will slowly cook it flat or jammy, while the dry air from the AC shrinks the corks. It's part of why wines here often taste different from the same label abroad.
Beyond that, the workmanship lets it down: the tiling, caulking, millwork, stonework and door installations. The open kitchen and the location of the sink also misreads how an open kitchen actually works when you're hosting.
Surprisingly, after all that, I like the architecture. The façade is well executed and would hold its own in Dubai or California. It's undone by poor space and privacy planning, atrocious finishes, and a clear misunderstanding of what luxury truly is.
The real tragedy is that the builders will disagree with everything you and I have said.
Using the existing structure as a baseline, I did something that is more adapted to our climate and solves the major challenges raised about the building.
-Breeze blocks to replace the glass balusters to make the building look more contextual
-Wooden slats to filter harsh sunlight and provide privacy
-Operable wooden fins on the last floor balcony to create visual interest, filter sunlight and provide privacy to the master bed on the last floor
This is not a shade to the Architects that did the original design because I’m sure they had to work within some strict guidelines, but it’s to show everyone - private owners, developers, Architects and other AEC professionals what contemporary luxury Architecture for our clime should look like.

I started learning about the importance of quality workmanship right from my IT days.
On the very day I arrived at the site, the PM instructed the Site Engineer and foreman to break down a freshly cast concrete column because of a small honeycomb. The likely cause was inadequate vibration during concreting.
These days, you see people on site covering up such defects with patching and plastering instead of addressing the underlying problem.
Things just need to change. FR..

Agents want to collect 15k, simply for showing you an apartment. How did we normalise these things?

I just checked your location and it says Egbeda Lagos... are you even serious with this thread??😂
If you get kidnapped this might save your life :
1. Spit all over the ground; it's your DNA.
2. If they carry you, scratch them, their DNA is under your nails.
3. Call 911 and ask for a a pizza they will know you need help.
4. If you need to call someone, like 911, but can't speak, call 55, they will track your location.
5. If you are in a car/truck, try breaking the tail light. If you stick out your hand, the car behind you will probably call the police.
***if you come across this post and find it useful tap follow and let's stay in touch.🤝
you can survive everything in life, but you can’t escape the ignorance of a typical lagos person. they’ll ask about you like you’re some remote tribe living in amazon rainforest, then their mates will rock up with all sorts of mythical, hate-laced lies and stereotypical answers.
