Unpopular Opinion:
Lagos doesn’t have a waste problem.
Lagos has a discipline problem.
Let me explain. 🧵
1️⃣
We generate over 13,000 tonnes of waste daily.
That number shocks people.
But waste volume is predictable in a city of over 20 million people.
The real issue is behavior.
2️⃣
You cannot demand a clean city while:
• Refusing to pay waste bills
• Mixing food with recyclables
• Dumping trash in drainage at night
• Burning waste in your compound
Be honest.
3️⃣
Everyone blames the government.
But tell me:
If your estate refuses to pay PSP operators for 4 months,
How do you expect trucks to run on vibes?
Diesel is not motivational quotes.
4️⃣
PSP operators are bleeding.
• Diesel up
• Spare parts up
• Truck breakdowns constant
• Customers defaulting
Yet they are expected to perform miracles daily.
5️⃣
Now let’s talk about segregation.
Lagos residents want recycling.
But it won’t separate plastic from food waste.
Once contaminated, plastic loses value.
That “green dream” ends at your kitchen bin.
6️⃣
Here’s another uncomfortable truth:
The informal sector recovers more recyclables than many formal systems.
Cart pushers. Street pickers. Landfill workers.
They reduce landfill pressure daily.
Yet we pretend they don’t exist.
7️⃣
When you see waste on the roadside, it’s not always incompetence.
Sometimes it’s:
• Access blocked
• Payment default
• System overload
• Delayed evacuation
• Policy bottlenecks
Waste is logistical, not emotional.
8️⃣
Zero waste will not happen because we shout.
It will happen when:
• Residents pay consistently
• Segregation becomes culture
• The informal sector is structured
• Recycling becomes economically attractive
• Enforcement becomes real
9️⃣
Clean cities are not built by trucks.
They’re built by disciplined citizens and structured systems.
Until we accept that,
We’ll keep having the same debate every rainy season.
🔟
If this offends you, good.
Because the truth is uncomfortable.
But Lagos can work.
The system is stressed, not hopeless.

So the new boardecea was launched tonight…
I know you all term the brand as king of dupes but these guys know how to turn heads
This is not a popular take:
Proper ultra-niche fragz know Bois imperial is too soft to take with you to a perfume show off.
It’s a date night/ office wear
Nothing overly special about it to be honest.
Layering espo for the club
Kutay/Baronda = whiskey
Complex = kick them cigar smell away and make you smell cool heading home
My week in bottles
Monday SHK
Tuesday SAFFRON ELIXIR
Wednesday GUCCI INTENSE
Thursday D&G velvet
Friday Scandal
Saturday Kutuy
Sunday Layering All
You people should continue with your Bois Imperial madness ooooo
You see this gorgeous….when you’re ready, let’s have a conversation about why I prefer it to Bois Imperial.
I have this lovely perfume to exchange with anyone here
Let’s see what you got.
Still in carton and 99%full
Got it from the reputable @BelloMB96 plug here. So authenticity is not in doubt.
Hit me up guys.
Reason for exchange: I want to do more of Oud, leather, iris and tobacco from same house.
Okay…
One last recommendation for today guys.
Reverie haze by Electimus London
Don’t worry.
The day I wore it, I didn’t only got lots of compliments, 3 grown men wrote the name down.
As a man
WHY ARE YOU WEARING LATTAFA, PARIS CORNER,ARABIAT PRESTIGE
If it’s about affordability
look towards Qatar and Saudi brands
Please stop wearing Khamra
If you could afford the 3.. Go for them
If you could afford only 2.. Go with left and right
If you have to choose just one …
Quentin bisch is the right way to go.
Read a book “don’t meet your idol”
“The real Omotola, I don't like nails and make-up. I'm pretty much like a Tomboy. I like cars and properties. I don't like the things that girls like and maybe that's the reason why I think I'm not a girl's girl. I don't have anything in common with girls. I talk about things that boys talk about.”
