<p><br/></p><p>Ah, the famous Nigerian restaurant standoff. The waiter drops the bill, everybody suddenly remembers their phone screen, and one person clears throat like they’re about to negotiate fuel subsidy.</p><p><br/></p><p>In Nigeria, splitting the bill is not just maths—it’s vibes, ego, and tradition. For many guys, paying the whole thing feels like a badge of honour. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it,” he says, even though he’s already calculating which subscription to cancel next month. For some ladies, offering to pay can look like feminism-in-action—or just common sense, depending on who’s watching.</p><p><br/></p><p>With friends, it’s a bigger wahala. Do we divide equally, or should the guy that ordered small chops and water really pay the same as the babe that demolished nkwobi, suya, and three cocktails? Deep down, we all know the truth: Nigerian friendship has survived NEPA, traffic, and inflation—but one bad billing can scatter the group chat.</p><p><br/></p><p>The good news? Apps like Opay and Palmpay have made “send me your account details” easier than ever. So no more pretending you forgot cash. Everybody can pay their fair share—unless someone’s trying to flex, in which case, abeg don’t argue, just smile and let them.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the end of the day, the bill isn’t just about food—it’s about pride, culture, and how much you value peace of mind. But one thing’s for sure: in Nigeria, when that black folder lands on the table, you’ll know your true friends.</p><p><br/></p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
