@GRVlagos let me respectfully disagree.
Shutting down a city of over 20 million people is not what we are doing. We are asking residents to dedicate one hundred and twenty minutes, once every thirty days, to clean their immediate surroundings. That is not a shutdown. That is called taking responsibility.
I agree completely that waste management logistics, from collection to disposal to recycling, are critical. That is why we have spent the past year strengthening those very systems. We have banned single use plastics, we are converting Olusosun landfill to energy, we are deploying biogas facilities in our markets, we are partnering with Lafarge to turn waste into valuable resources, and we are empowering young innovators with technology to improve sanitation access. These are not cosmetic actions. They are structural changes to how Lagos manages waste.
But here is what I also know. No system of waste management, no matter how sophisticated, will succeed if citizens refuse to take basic responsibility for their environment. You cannot complain about flooding while dumping refuse in drains. You cannot demand a cleaner city while sweeping waste into the road. You cannot blame government for a dirty environment when you are unwilling to clean the front of your own house.
The monthly sanitation exercise is not a substitute for systemic reform. It is a complement to it. It is about rebuilding a culture of environmental stewardship that has been lost over time. Technology and infrastructure alone cannot save a city whose people have abandoned personal responsibility.
We welcome objective criticism that offers solutions. But dismissing a civic exercise as unimaginative, while offering no alternative path to citizen participation, does not move us forward.

@GRVlagos some have argued, just like you did, that monthly environmental sanitation is not meaning. Let me respectfully disagree.
Shutting down a city of over 20 million people is not what we are doing. We are asking residents to dedicate one-hundred-and-twenty-minutes, once every thirty days, to clean their immediate surroundings. That is not a shutdown. That is called taking responsibility!
Monthly sanitation matters because it reinforces five important principles;
• First, it reminds every household and business that environmental responsibility begins at the source.
• Second, it helps keep frontage drains, setbacks, markets, streets, and neighbourhood spaces clear before waste becomes a larger nuisance.
• Third, it provides a predictable window for inspection, advocacy, and enforcement.
• Fourth, it strengthens community ownership, because government alone cannot clean up after millions of people every day.
• Fifth, it supports the wider waste-management chain by encouraging proper bagging, containerisation, PSP patronage, payment compliance, and a reduction in indiscriminate dumping.

A cleaner Lagos will not be built by government alone. It will be built by systems, discipline, enforcement, infrastructure, and citizens doing the right thing consistently.

I think you deserve all the hates coming your way.
It's even worse than I think.
Because given this context, it means you have a personal relationship with Tunde before you publicly accused him of being on government payroll.
Something you easily could have brought to him on DM and cleared your doubt about his with the government, albeit if there's any.
What you did bothered not only on baseless allegations, but a breach of trust with someone you have a relationship with, someone you have his WhatsApp contact.
I like your account cos you press APC neck. But this one here, you drop the ball real time.
Also, you know how much trauma Tunde already suffered from all the dragging in 2025. It was so much, he quit X for a while.
Then you resuscitated it by claiming authoritatively that he's on the payroll of the government.
This is not holding people to a higher standard. This is bad faith. And it only comes from a very dark place. Perhaps an internal envy you need to work on.
Again, I like your account because of your succinct and no-nonsense takes on issues about national significance. But here, you miss road, big time.

APC supporters taunting ADC supporters saying “We won” and laughing as if it’s Liverpool vs Arsenal and their team just won.
This is real life. It’s not a football game. This outcome will affect your life one way or the other.
I thank God everyday we didn’t qualify for the Champions league last season as that’s the reason he rejected us for Chelsea. I’ll rather not play in Europe than suffer the wrath of Delap as my striker after Hojlund.
It’s like going from fighting against Kane to fighting against Undertaker.
