When I say this "lonely at the top" thing ehnn, yah not yet at the top but already claiming and prophesying to be lonely, first, we have to ask ourselves, is the top really lonely?

The point of view for many is that there are more people at the ground floor than at the top. So, if you've suffered with many people and you think you have people, be careful and know that the top is lonely, and when you get there, you will not see anyone, right?
Kai, bro Emmanuel! Kai, bro Emeka! Kai!

That means you did not go through the process when you were going to the top because if you were told that when you are uplifted, you should bring someone with you. If you then get to the top only and start shouting, "the top is lonely," may loneliness not kill you.
My perspective is that it's when you are not yet something tangible that you should be lonely. As you grow, you should automatically attract people; otherwise, the way you got to the top was not the right way. 🙄 I heard loneliness can kill.

Even though the idea, to some, is that when you are not at the top, you can see people to talk to because you may share the same idea. But if you get to the top, no one will be there to talk to, maybe because you have outsmarted them, and now you think better than them. But the question still remains: how do you survive with people who can't match your thought and reasoning when you were at the top, and none of them are? If the saying "show me your friend, I will tell you who you are" is true, that means either you stepped on those you called friends to be at the top, or you got to the top with a means that can't be shared if asked.

No matter the stage you get to in life, there must be men or women who are able to contain your knowledge, and you can share things with them. At the top, you should not be lonely.

What if the idea of the song was that those who were your friends when you had nothing and were struggling together, now that you have been helped by God to be at the top, they feel challenged or jealous and are willing to leave you because of your achievement? Then the writer of the song was like, "omo, to be at the top is lonely" because people will feel bad for your achievement. Then he was like, "I don't even have their time; it's money that is on my mind, jare" 😏.

Now he shares his mind by singing, but aunty Favour, aunty Chinedu, and even bro Apolo are now shouting, "lonely at the top." If you make it, nah only you go dey. And now, you've thought that money can replace relationships with people. Okai o, it's well with you.
May God give you understanding.

At the top, I won't be lonely because I won't get there alone. I walked the process with me and will meet people there.
I don't know about you.
Maybe God will give us understanding.
