Just landed in Nigeria. The lack of traffic in Lagos is eerie, like some zombie apocalypse. I can imagine the economic devastation occurring on an individual basis. Where did all the cars go? How does that normalise? What is the new normal?
Twitter vs Actual Nigeria is surreal. The reality feels so different to being on ground. The middle & working classes are suffering. Everywhere is empty. Restaurants, hotels, roads. Consumption has definitely collapsed. You can see it clearly in FMCG. Maybe I’m just a hater though.”
