Hello everyone! I'm starting a side hustle fast food restaurant, and I want to take you all along for the ride!
I'll be sharing the process of building our food ordering system in public on Twitter, and I hope you'll join and support 🫠
The name is courtsides (@eatcourtsides) featuring sobahut noodles, Sub shawarma, and some sides like fires
moving forward will just stick to media 😂
can’t even come up with ideas again, before you log off and log in back, some one built what you working on 😅
Been really enjoying @eureka_seamless's Danfo game, so I made my own version.
Play as a Swoop delivery rider in Lagos: pick up orders from stores, dodge kekes, and collect powerups!
I just wasted two hours playing:

government work? never ever again 🙂↕️
This is the second part of the story I shared earlier about the Osun State logo.
@Osun_State_Gov publicly announced the logo redesign contest in April 2024 and stated that the best designers would be invited and compensated. My design was eventually selected, approved and unveiled.
But after the unveiling, getting that money became another story entirely.
I sent several emails to get that done.
Eventually, @Studio_Hamkaz sent the money to me after I was told that ₦500,000 was what the state had budgeted as compensation. Which I honestly struggled to believe because the compensation was never mentioned publicly after the unveiling.
I also received several calls to come for TV interviews about the logo. One was from @Kayodealaka22 of @WStv_NG, which I declined. Not because I didn't have anything to say. I just didn't want to drag anybody or talk about what happened publicly; I wanted to preserve Osun State's reputation and move on.
At the time @adedayo_oderinu , who was part of the publicly announced judging panel for the competition, called me about the matter. Part of that conversation was about trying to get us to meet with the Governor.
The explanation was that @iwogoke; the spokesperson to the Governor, said @AAdeleke_01 had been busy and the suggestion was that we should try our luck at meeting him unannounced at home or his office. 😂
If a government organises a public competition, selects a winner, unveils the work and there is a payment issue afterwards, shouldn't there be a proper process for resolving that? Why should we have to be the ones looking for the Governor's whereabouts?
And then there was another thing I heard; perhaps the committee handling the project might have presented someone else as the owner of my work and settled lowkey.
I'm deliberately saying “might have” because I'm not going to present something I heard as a fact.
But if that did happen, that's a much bigger conversation oo 😂.
And if it didn't, then I'd genuinely like the government to clarify what actually happened. This is why I'm tagging @Osun_State_Gov, @AAdeleke_01, @iwogoke, and @AlimiKolapo
I kept quiet for two years because I didn't want government wahala. But sometimes, silence doesn't solve the problem. It only gives the problem more time.
So, I have a few straightforward questions:
1. What was the official compensation package arranged for the winners?
2. What was the expected payment process, and why wasn't the compensation communicated publicly same way the competition was announced?
3. Why did payment require repeated follow-ups after the winning work had already been unveiled? Was the state / committee in charge not planning to pay before the follow-ups or perhaps the money had been embezzled?
4. Regarding the second runner-up, why was ₦100,000 paid after he made a public post about the issue few months ago? Was that payment already due, or was it triggered by the public complaint?
These are questions that need to be answered.

It must be tough being an Android enthusiast this week. Android phone vendors have been toiling away at designing and shipping smart phones with folding screens for seven years, but Apple brings the iPhone Duo to market and it's the first time one of these devices truly breaks through into the imagination of the culture. 😂 One of Apple's greatest strengths is its ability to speak directly to consumers in a way that no other technology company can.
