@OgbeniDipo@Mz_Tosyn@GboyegaOyetola@OgbeniDipo If there is a way you can continue the PR for AMBO without including Oyetola’s performance, please do. Oyetola’s time as governor was a huge failure, as attested to by several non-partisan residents.

Help Us Give Oluwatobiloba Oyagunna a Dignified Burial
We are raising funds to support the family of Oluwatobiloba Oyagunna, a 39-year-old Nigerian student in the United Kingdom, who sadly passed away suddenly on 2nd February 2026, just days after arriving in the UK on 26th January 2026 to begin a Master’s degree in Business and Computing.
Oluwatobiloba was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a man full of hope and plans for the future.
His untimely passing has left his family and loved ones heartbroken and unprepared for the financial burden that comes with this loss.
He leaves behind a grieving wife and two beautiful children, whose lives have been completely shaken by this tragedy.
We are coming together to ensure that Oluwatobiloba is laid to rest with dignity, respect, and honour, and to ease the immediate burden on his young family during this incredibly difficult time.
We humbly ask for your support.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.
If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this appeal.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this time of sorrow.
I’m a staunch admirer of KA’s art, a prolific filmmaker&a game changer. However, he should have chosen his words more carefully regarding the “2 billion cinema” statement. It sounded as he was ridiculing producers who take their films to cinemas for not prioritizing profit.
Funke Akindele Blows Hot After Kunle Afolayan’s Comment on Dancing to Promote Movies and Box Office Billions
Veteran filmmaker Kunle Afolayan’s recent comments have stirred reactions from his colleague, Funke Akindele.
In a recent interview, Kunle Afolayan critiqued the methods used to promote cinema films, which often require filmmakers to dance. He described the process as exhausting, while also commending Funke Akindele’s efforts.
He said, “It is draining. I want to make a film if you guarantee me that I don’t have to dance to sell that film.”
Afolayan also criticised the growing obsession with box office figures, stating that massive cinema numbers mean little if creators do not benefit financially.
“There’s no competition. I don’t want two billion in cinema, or even one billion, if I won’t make ten million from it,” Afolayan stated.
I left a London nightclub with a pocket full of cash but regained consciousness five months later in a hospital.
That experience changed how I see life, money, and everything in between.
I used to work different roles in London nightclubs. Washing cups, cleaning floors, sometimes in the toilets (the “peke” shift), where you hand people perfume and smile for tips.
That was the coveted shift.
If you were friendly, you could go home with a good amount of tips.
I guarded my tips like treasure. That money helped me survive as a student.
Then, one night, everything changed.
I finished work… and ended up arrested.
I suffered a mental health crisis that kept me in the hospital for five months (Section 3 MHA).
For most of that time, I didn’t even know where I was.
When I finally read my medical report, I cried.
Page after page described my confusion, my silence, my brokenness.
When I got out, the world had moved on.
A different song was now No. 1 on the charts, and surprisingly, my phone had stopped ringing.
Upon discharge, a nurse handed me an envelope. Inside were the tips I guarded so tightly that night.
That was my Memento Mori moment.
The things you cling to the hardest are often the first to be taken from you.
We come into this world empty-handed.
And that is exactly how we will leave.
So, what are you gripping so hard today?
Money? Pride? Fear?
Let it go.
Keep it simple.
Pray. Try your best. Leave the rest to God.
You will die one day.
Your haters will, too.
So… what is the big deal?
If this spoke to you, share it. Someone out there needs the reminder.
I am rooting for you.
God bless you.
I share real stories about resilience, purpose, and life lessons they don't teach in school.

Although a GDP of $259 billion is worth the applause, it is a clear demonstration of the tenacity, resilience, and enterprise of Lagosians, despite the glaring incompetence of government. We must confront the uncomfortable truth that these impressive figures (GDP PPP OR IGR) have not translated into improved living conditions for working-class Lagosians.
For starters, working-class Lagosians continue to face a severe housing shortage with skyrocketing rents consuming a disproportionate percentage of their income. Many families remain crammed into inadequate living spaces and many others are at the mercy of greedy landlords mostly because housing supply has been abysmal.
Our roads remain plagued by potholes and streetlights in most communities remain non-functional, contributing to security concerns. Public transportation remains insufficient for a city of our size and our waste management systems require new thinking.
Sadly, the wealth generated by our economic growth appears concentrated among a small elite, while the vast majority of Lagosians struggle with stagnant wages against rising costs of living. As I have always argued, true economic progress must be measured not just by GDP or IGR figures but by tangible improvements in quality of our lives.
Therefore, until ordinary Lagosians can access decent housing, reliable infrastructure, and essential public services, our economic achievements will remain hollow statistics that fail to reflect our lived experiences.
Lagos deserves a leader that prioritizes inclusive growth. One that ensures that our economic success leaves no one behind.
