Noted

When will we stop cramming the junks written by others and find practical solutions to our very unique situation in Nigeria?


If you observe, the rules that govern other places don't work here. Take for instance, demand and supply chain. If you like supply everything you want, prices will keep going up and somehow the system seem not to follow.

There are plenty instances too. Congratulations to them though
