@dipounfiltered@Omole_DF@bsong_HR Can y’all shut up with these grassroots of a thing, y’all keep the grassroots poor and inaccessible to growth so that you can keep using them for your benefit.. ain’t y’all ashamed.
@OpeBee The on behind your failed president nko, even with the ai edited clip, no be lemon and white we see. Abi ori yin buru ni, most you lost your sense of reasoning bcs you want to defend a failed administration.
Dear Lagosians, This is my promise to you.
I will never in any language tell you to live in your parents house as an answer to the expensive rents and housing deficit.
Instead we will work tirelessly to deliver a 100,000 units of housing that are not only accessible but truly affordable.
Enact laws that protect tenants and create an agency to investigate and enforce said laws.
I will never in any language tell you that Traffic is a lifestyle.
Instead we will deliver the entire rail network in 2years by opening the project to private sector procurement. Our focus will not be how to pad or steal money it would be on making movement in lagos more effective and affordable.
I will never in any language tell you that we do not know or understand how much waste is being generated in Lagos state, neither will we tell you to go back to you village when you complain about the state of the enviroment .
We will rid the waste management system of the corruption and racketeering that has left lagos covered in filth. We will create a waste to energy and waste to wealth value chain. We will build out proper sewage processing facilities and empower local governments to participate in waste management.
Lastly under no circumstance will any public official boast about expensive watches whilst so many struggle in poverty.
My promise to you is high impact governance, actions you will feel, because Actions speak far louder than words.

Unfortunate greetings to you Second hand,
My opinion doesn't bother you but you quoted and replied at the same time?
I read patiently, waiting for the educative chunk but it's all watery dispels of pig snorts.
I'm not even surprised. Bold of you to think that you can educate me.
From your policies, your professional executions, the shallowness that sweetens you, the galore of pretense work you emulsify in, for optics - your cerebral strength is evident.
At 54, you might be 2 decades and some change older than I am but on my worst days especially when I'm asleep - 10 kilobytes of my brain power will power 250 GB of that clanging cymbal you've carefully weaved under your clown cap.
You want to educate who?
Now let me educate you, second hand.
Whoever you were or what you had before public service is INSIGNIFICANT.
In public service, servants are expected to live within reasonable means & avoid unnecessary show of wealth.
How reasonable is it that you wrist 212M naira in watches, serving in a state where the minimum wage is 70K naira?
In fact, it is enshrined under the Code Of Conduct Bureau under the Fifth Schedule of the 1999 constitution as amended - how public servants should curtail show of wealth in public service. I'm not even a lawyer.
A simple conversation of how display of wealth is antithetical to the ethical scope of public service, you casually threw in "demi god".
Again, by a man's speakings, he reveals the standards upon which his principles are wired. You are a slave so you're wired to think other people's opinion on your show of foolishness is directly proportional to subservience of a different person entirely.
At the core of it all boiling down to what really matters - impact?
My boy, second hand,
You were definitely one of the most visible commissioners but essentially the most useless. You were busy but you were not productive because at the core, what mattered to you the most was winning social media bouts.
Your visibility was tied to the fact that, at the crux, you and Daniel Regha aren't desimilar. You are both banger boys.
@salawueedris1 But he’s right now, the Yoruba the other ones speak how has it have effect on good governance in Lagos state Abi se na only Yoruba they pay task ni, una just stupid anyaw..
Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Fellow Nigerians,
Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.
It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.
Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.
In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:
Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?
These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.
Today we stand before the world as a nation:
With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M
With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M
Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives
Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.
With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.
Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M
Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%
Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years
And the list goes on.
This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?
The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.
Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.
In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.
@olusdj@ChidinmaAn1163@realFemiOtedola Oloriburuku ni yin oo, wait are you happy with the happenings in the country or you just feel like ko kan mi en! I pray you and your fellow Alagba ko experience these bad leadership one day, then you will know that the crumbs they are giving you will not save you.
