    I was eating on my balcony when I saw this tweet. I quickly moved my food into the house. Make money no waste.

    Thugs have destroyed ballot boxes and threw away the ballot papers at Oba Elegushi. I collected a couple of slaps for fighting back before I got pulled from the melee, into a house for my safety. Now I have to be smuggled out of the voting area because I have been marked.

    My younger sister just started making her money, and as symbolism, she gave me all her first salary as "gratitude" for being her father. As the elders have taught me, I received the money, prayed for her, took N2,000 from it, and gave it back to her. She'll go far in life.

    Whitemoney used to be my barber when I lived in Ojuelegba. And he was so jovial a guy. When he won, I wanted to DM him congratulations out of joy, but didn't because he's swarmed by the world. And now, he's come to look for me. Happy that I'm also doing well. Warms my heart.

    For the first time in Nigeria, we have an artist that has become so big that fans are launching music careers based on his fame and impact. Wizkid's impact on our culture is well documented, but when fan songs about you blow, that's another level of demonstrable greatness.

    Omah Lay makes music for extremely bad boys that appear innocent and pristine on the outside, but battle plenty of demons on the inside, and will shift your insides without hesitancy, while telling you that their mental health is connected to your waistline.
