  • 11 Places To Find Tech Bae In Lagos

    11 Places To Find Tech Bae In Lagos

    If like me you’ve been thinking of a way out of penury, I welcome you. Here’s a list of places to find our helpers (tech baes) so that we can flourish and finally chop life.

    1) Any coffee shop

    Your nearest coffee shop is filled with so many lowkey rich tech people looking for wonderful ambience and uninterrupted power supply. Use this information wisely.

    2) Shops where they sell turtle necks

    You know the vibes for this one.

    3) Lexus car dealerships

    The official car of made people in tech. If they drive Lexus ES 350 or IS 350, hold on to them for dear life.

    4) Any shop that sells Apple devices

    Pro-tip: The richer they are, the more Apple devices they own.

    5) Or plant shop

    Plant that’s not for cooking is a sign of wealth in Nigeria, and these people are stupidly rich.

    6) Any event that has the keyword “disruption” in it

    Don’t dull.

    7) Or “Fintech” as the theme

    The next best thing since sliced bread.

    8) Or Crypto and Bitcoin as subthemes

    The last line of defense against Emefiele et al. After Bezos, tech people swear by these terms.

    9) Any Paystack or Flutterwave event

    Because anyone can be a golden boy.

    10) Twitter

    Open your Twitter and tweet “Tech bros don’t have their baths.” If your mentions aren’t swarming with them, come and fight us in our office.

    11) Your nearest “coke” dealer

    I’m not there oh.

  • What Would You Do If You Find Out About Your Bae’s Wedding On Bellanaija?

    What Would You Do If You Find Out About Your Bae’s Wedding On Bellanaija?

    Imagine you have a fiance you really love and you guys have been engaged for about 3 years (as per Lord of The Rings).

    You did everything for him, even paid for his M.Sc degree with your hard earned cash, it was all love.

    But on one unfortunate Saturday, you see his pictures on Bellanaija, slaying during his traditional marriage to another girl.

    We’re not telling stories o! That was exactly what Twitter user, Miriam Shehu, claimed to have experienced in the hands of a certain Taiwo.

    Hay God! She has been raining curses on him via her Twitter page.

    But trust Twitter people to find banter in everything.

    Maybe it was his twin, Kehinde’s traditional marriage.

    https://twitter.com/TheOnlyMANIC/status/778503963683459072

    Association of Yoruba boys are not happy with Taiwo.

    Perhaps women should stop dashing these 419 men money.

    https://twitter.com/officialdaddymo/status/778512657183825924

    Three years engagement is a scam o!

    Because M.Sc is not marriage certificate.

    It’s not a joking matter o!

    People dating Yahoo boys shouldn’t chook mouth in the matter.

    Although people on Twitter have decided her story is untrue, we’re sure many men and women have once been scammed by a Taiwo.

    What would you do if you found out your bae is a Taiwo? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
