I want to profusely thank all the lovers of Lagos, all of whom have refused to major on the minor.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and support. Your encouragement gives me the energy, courage and faith to keep believing that, one day, our country will be great.
As usual, the APC has resorted to its familiar strategy of distraction. Its loudest voices are not talking about the impact of their government on the people of Lagos. They are not telling Lagosians how they have made their lives better. They are not talking about the state of our roads, the worsening flooding, the housing crisis, the lack of reliable public water, the traffic crisis or the growing filth across our city.
Instead, they want us to major on the minor.
They did the same thing in 2023. And despite all their claims, they still resorted to thuggery, intimidation and violence to force their way into office. It was state-sanctioned terrorism using the same culture of thuggery that remains one of the biggest problems confronting ordinary Lagosians today.
Why wonโt the APC confront this problem?
Because they depend on the same thugs and the same culture of political violence to force their way into power. When a political party knows that it cannot win the confidence of the people on the strength of its record, it becomes dependent on intimidation and coercion.
Our roads are worse. Flooding has become a bigger problem. Rents have continued to rise, while affordable housing remains grossly inadequate.
They have effectively given up on solving the traffic crisis. Now, instead of admitting failure and fixing the problem, they tell us that traffic is a โlifestyle.โ
There is no reliable supply of public water. And in many parts of Lagos, the city is as dirty as it was under Governor Tinubu.
Under Governor Fashola, Lagos was operating more than 1,000 PSP trucks. After more than 12 years, you would expect the system to have expanded significantly. Instead, we are now down to roughly 200 trucks.
Why?
Because the problem is not simply a lack of trucks. It is a system that has been weakened by corruption, poor management and alleged racketeering around diesel, truck leasing and waste collection.
That is why Lagos stinks.
And this is the point I want Lagosians to focus on: we must stop allowing them to change the subject.
The question is not who can shout the loudest. The question is, after all these years in power, have they made Lagos better for the ordinary Lagosian?
That is the conversation we should be having.
That is the conversation they want us to avoid.
And that is exactly the conversation we must continue to have.
Let's make Eko Great Again

Today, as the world marks World Health Day, we must pause for honest reflection.
Nigeria, a nation of over 200 million people, continues to grapple with one of the weakest healthcare systems in the world. Our primary healthcare structure is almost comatose. We now record worse infant mortality outcomes than India, a country with a larger population, while health insurance coverage in Nigeria remains below 5%. These are not just statistics; they are a painful indictment of our priorities.
Recent disclosures by the Honourable Minister of Health show that out of the โฆ218 billion appropriated for healthcare capital expenditure, only about โฆ36 million has been released. This is deeply troubling.
At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has projected over โฆ135 billion for legal expenditures.
Let us reflect on this.
The amount earmarked for election-related litigation is far higher than what has been made available for primary healthcare, the very foundation of a nationโs wellbeing. This is the same primary healthcare system expected to serve millions of Nigerians and support critical institutions such as:
1. University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City
2. University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar
3. University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada
4. University College Hospital, Ibadan
5. Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife
6. University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin
7. Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua
8. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu
9. Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos
10. Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano
11. Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos
12. University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri
13. Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi
14. University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt
15. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto
16. University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo
17. Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria
18. Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki
19. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi
20. Federal Medical Centre, Yola
These institutions represent hope for millions. Yet, they remain underfunded, overstretched, and burdened by systemic neglect.
A nation that prepares more for electoral disputes than for the health of its citizens is a nation that has lost its way.
We must begin to ask the difficult but necessary questions: What are our true priorities? What kind of nation are we building? And for whom?
Healthcare and education are not optional; they are the foundation of national development. Any country that neglects them undermines its own future.
Nigeria must urgently reorder its priorities. We must invest in the health and wellbeing of our people, strengthen our institutions, and build a system that works for all, not just a few.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
This is the best edited video about the Daniel Bwala shameful interview.
Wheoever edited this video needs to be compensated.
Daniel Bwala is the most shameless human alongside Reno Omokri.
N78.4m was allocated to the Provision and Installation of Solar Street Lights in Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency, Oyo state in the 2023 FG Budget.
We tracked and report that this project has been done in Olorunsogo as 16 solar streetlights have been installed in the axis.
We however observed that the poles were labeled with the name and picture of Hon. Akin Alabi @akinalabi, an attempt to mislead the public that it was a donation by his person.
We strongly caution elected officials to desist from fraudulently misleading the public that taxpayer-funded projects are donations from them in order to curry political goodwill.
We call on @IAR_ABU_NG, the implementing agency, to provide the public with details of this project.
We will keep tracking this project in other beneficiary communities.
Those bandits donโt give a fuck if you recite every Surah in the Quran while begging them, they donโt give a fuck about God/Allah. They donโt pray they donโt fast. if you think they are doing this in the name of religion. ๐ข They're heartless ๐ if you die you die.
