THINGS DEY HAPPEN O! One of our driver friends, who only goes home once every two weeks or sometimes twice a week, always sends money to his wife and children to take care of them. But the wife has been accusing him of cheating many times. She often calls him at night on video call, asking where he is, who he’s with, and even tells him to show his surroundings. The man is not cheating. In fact, he always turns on his back camera to prove he’s not doing anything wrong. But guess what happened.  Two nights ago, he went home without telling anyone — and when he got there, he caught another man sleeping with his wife on their bed! The man is heartbroken and confused.

As ride-hailing drivers, we often find ourselves bearing the brunt of policies that seem to shift overnight, with little to no explanation. One of the most pressing concerns right now is the outrageous commission Bolt is taking from drivers — and it's time we speak up. My Recent Experience with Bolt’s Commission Policy Just yesterday afternoon, I had an outstanding balance of ₦8,825 with Bolt. I made a payment of ₦2,200, which rightly brought my balance down to ₦6,625. Later that day, I completed a trip from Aladelola Street in Ikosi, Ketu, to Magodo. The fare was ₦4,300, and the rider did not use any promo or bonus. Naturally, I decided to check my updated balance — and to my shock, it had increased from ₦6,625 to ₦8,550. How is it possible that doing a paid trip increased my debt? Immediately, I contacted Bolt support to raise this issue. I suspected an error in the commission charged for that trip. But the response I got was even more alarming. Bolt No Longer Uses Fixed Commissi...

As the festive season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and the pressure to make a grand impression. The glittering lights, the endless parties, and the temptation to splurge on gifts, outfits, and celebrations can push many into making unwise financial decisions. But here’s a gentle yet crucial reminder: Christmas and New Year will always come and go, but the debt you incur trying to impress people will stay with you. The Danger of Borrowing to Impress In today’s world, many people feel compelled to showcase a lavish lifestyle, especially during the holidays. Social media only amplifies this pressure, as we see friends and acquaintances posting pictures of extravagant meals, designer clothes, or expensive gifts. However, borrowing money to fund such a lifestyle is a dangerous trap. The reality is: 1. People you’re trying to impress probably don’t notice. The truth is, most people are too busy with their own lives to care about how much you spent on your outfit o...

It’s a curious tradition, isn’t it? Someone spends their entire life building a home and living in a bustling city, far from their "ancestral home." Yet, when they pass away, their body is transported back to their village or state of origin. Why do we do this? For many, it’s rooted in cultural and traditional beliefs. In some societies, the idea of returning to one's "roots" or "home soil" is seen as the final act of connection to one's lineage and heritage. But if you ask me, it feels like an unnecessary exercise in sentimentality and a waste of time and resources. Think about it: If someone lived their whole life in a city, built memories, raised a family, and possibly even owned property there, why isn’t that place considered their home? What makes the village or “hometown” they left behind decades ago a more valid resting place than where they spent their life? For me, home is anywhere a person finds peace, fulfillment, and belonging. It’s not...
