Random Rant Session

Long time no Update

Been trying to hack 2018 properly recently so we can have a beautiful end of year. It's been a while I ate out, chilled with friends, and all other things social.

Working on a project, that's going well. This has forced a lot of interactions with agencies in Lagos Metropolis. Let me just add that Lagos isn't as glamorous as it's made to seem, it's basically Abakaliki with a beautiful façade. Multiple agencies that duplicate duplicated works, and even more annoyingly share no information with each other in anyway. The general mandate seems to be "issue fees and rake in money", sad and not sustainable for the business environment. Almost 5-7% of a project sum has already gone to State Agencies in form of permissions or approvals to start work, then at the end Government comes with it's bowl to collect tax for you completing the project. Nothing in place to help you achieve such goals. Just money in the beginning and at the end. Something must pay for the unneceaary agencies I suppose.

Hopefully the year ends good, and we can see some more places in the globe.
