A New Month as Zuckerberg's Walk in Lagos Wakes Me

Just as the month of August was coming to an end, Mark Zuckerburg the founder and CEO of Facebook flew into Lagos, Nigeria. The various social media platforms went agog.

It has really been a challenge.

BRT and I

Do you live in Lagos or have you visited Lagos since 2009? You must have seen the Lagos BRT and even entered it (severally?). What was the experience like? Presently, I seem to be having a very special connection with BRT and I am taking my time to understand it. A friend recently told me that BRT reminds him of MOLUE and I think he has a point...
