We have been making steady progress with the Light-Up Lagos project. Across major roads and highways in the state, our teams have been installing streetlights and replacing old, unreliable fittings.

You may have seen the work happening recently, both on the Mainland and the Island.

Good lighting helps people move around more safely and improves security along our roads, whether you are heading home late from work or starting your day before dawn.

This work is ongoing, and we will continue expanding it across the state, one street at a time.

Dear Lagosians,

I am pleased to announce that the Lagos State Government is collaborating with MTN Nigeria @MTNNG to redevelop and transform the Obalende under-bridge into a modern, well-structured transport hub to be known as Y’ELLO Bus Park.

This redevelopment will convert what was once a notorious and degraded space into a functional, secure, and community-centred facility. The new bus park will feature an organised and regulated transport terminal, a recycling drop-off station, a road camp for LAWMA sweepers and security agencies, over 60 public toilet fixtures, kiosks, and other essential amenities designed to serve commuters and residents alike.

The design prioritises safety, health, and aesthetics. Solar-powered lighting will improve night-time visibility, reduce blind spots, and enhance CCTV effectiveness, helping to curb criminal activities and improve overall security in the Obalende axis. A biodigester system is also being introduced to sustainably manage wastewater generated within the park, while a dedicated recycling station will discourage illegal waste disposal in the area.

In line with our commitment to climate responsibility, the project includes the installation of solar panels to support long-term energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint. Tree planting is also planned to improve air quality and enhance the visual appeal of the environment.

This project reflects our resolve to reclaim public spaces, make them functional, sustainable, and safe, and ensure they serve the needs of Lagosians in a modern, responsible way.

Together, we are building a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Lagos.

WHY TINUBU'S REFORMS ARE QUIETLY RE-STRUCTURING NIGERIA — WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT

Let’s be honest with ourselves as Nigerians: real restructuring was never going to be comfortable.

Anyone who promised you “change without pain” was selling emotional propaganda, not governance.

You can't put a serpent in a room and feed it for 50 years and more and expect that taking it out of the room would be easy.

What President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing is not noise-making populism.

It is systemic surgery on a broken state — and surgery hurts before it heals.

Let me take you through some of the reforms.amd their implications.

1. Ending the Subsidy Lie: Killing the Sacred Cow.

For decades, fuel subsidy was Nigeria’s biggest scam disguised as “welfare.”

We borrowed to fund consumption.

We enriched smugglers and middlemen.

We punished productivity.

Tinubu did what every past leader feared: he removed it immediately.

Not because he hates the poor, but because a country cannot develop by subsidizing waste.

Restructuring begins when a nation stops lying to itself.

2. Exchange Rate Unification: One Nigeria, Not Many Economies.

Nigeria was running multiple exchange rates.

That was benefiting insiders while killing manufacturers, exporters, and SMEs.

By allowing market-driven FX reforms:

Rent-seeking is shrinking.

Arbitrage billionaires are crying.

Transparency is being forced.

This is not cosmetic reform.

This is economic federalism in practice, where productivity matters more than political connections.

3. Fiscal Federalism Without Shouting “Restructuring”.

Funny thing: many who screamed “restructuring” only wanted power rotation, not responsibility.

More especially Tax Reforms.

Tinubu’s reforms are doing something deeper:

States now feel the pressure to generate revenue.

Lazy dependency on Abuja is collapsing.

Subnational governments must now think like governments, not beggars.

That is true restructuring, not Twitter activism.

4. Infrastructure as Economic Backbone, Not Political Projects.

Roads, ports, rail, energy reforms — these are not ribbon-cutting optics.

They are production enablers.

A country restructures when:

- Goods move faster than excuses
- Power improves productivity
- Logistics beats lobbying

Tinubu understands one truth populists hate:

You don’t share prosperity — you build it first.

5. Why Populists Are Angry
Populism thrives on:

- Short-term relief
- Loud slogans
- Borrowed happiness

Tinubu’s approach denies politicians easy applause.

No freebies.

No fake miracles.

Just hard choices.

That’s why the noise is loud.

That’s why emotions are high.

That’s why reforms are working.

See eh...

Nigeria was not broken overnight, and it won’t be fixed by vibes and hashtags.

Tinubu’s reforms are:

Gradual, not dramatic.

Structural, not sentimental.

Painful, but purposeful.

History is brutal to populists.

Those who make noise and lie to win elections but can't Govern.

Jagaban is different.

History is kind to reformers who chose courage over comfort.

Remember Obafemi Awolowo?

You may hate Tinubu.

You may disagree with his politics.

But if you are honest, you will admit this...

Nigeria is finally being forced to grow up.

Happy Sunday....no finish the chicken o 😂.

[Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT]

My fellow Nigerians,

You will recall that I cancelled my trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me coordinate the security efforts at home.

Thanks to the efforts of our security forces over the last few days, all the 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State have been rescued.

I am equally happy that 51 out of the missing students of the Catholic School in Niger State, have been recovered.

I am closely monitoring the security situation nationwide and receiving continuous updates from the frontline.

Let me be clear: I will not relent. Every Nigerian, in every state, has the right to safety — and under my watch, we will secure this nation and protect our people.

Consistent failure to qualify for the World Cup and maybe AFCON too will actually be the best thing for Nigerian football in the long run. Because the way Nigeria runs its football is a metaphor for Nigeria's internal governance as a whole - it has achieved an outrageous amount of success relative to the actual work it has put in, and success without work has now become a national expectation.

Literally Ghana has a better league than Nigeria. DR Congo has a better league. Tanzania has a better league. Kenya has a better league. Zambia has a better league. There's no point even mentioning Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Yet only Morocco, Tunisia, and Cameroon have been to more World Cups than Nigeria. Only Egypt, Cameroon and Ghana have won more AFCONS.

Nigeria (like Cameroon) is that completely unserious kid in school who never takes notes, does homework, or studies for exams, and spends all his time chasing girls and being Mr Classroom Funny Guy, but will always reliably score a B or a C. You know that if he would just put in a bit of effort, he could easily be an all-timer, but the guy is just not interested in being great. He knows that with his non-effort, he will still get a B, so why should he bother putting in effort to score an A?

I know this mindset very well because I was that exact kid in school. I absolutely frustrated my parents and teachers because I knew I didn't have to work hard to be above average. Why stress myself to get an A when I could miss classes to spend my time playing Midtown Madness in the computer lab, skip studying to play FIFA and read novels at home, generally do nothing and still get a B? And this mediocre mindset did not change until I finally failed hard at something. If I didn't wipe out at the end of Year 10 and confront disaster for the first time, my life would have turned out very differently.

Failure was my salvation because like most Nigerians, I only learned negatively. Nigerians are not built for Highest Common Factor. We are built for Lowest Common Denominator. We only learn through the pain of failure, shame, disgrace, and loss. We don't respond to higher arguments and appeals to our better nature. We only respond to being shamed, browbeaten and defeated. And that's what missing world cups will do for Nigerian football. If possible, we should wipe out at the AFCON group stage and fail to qualify for the next 3.. plus maybe World Cup 2030.

Only when the spoiled kid confronts unmitigated failure will he learn to do things differently.

[Ola Ola @undiluted_ola]

To revitalize Ogun State's infrastructure, we must explore innovative financing solutions for road projects, thereby easing the burden on government budgets. A promising approach involves implementing toll financing on major roadways. This strategy would require a comprehensive public education campaign to inform citizens about the benefits of tolling, such as improved road quality and maintenance. Furthermore, a dedicated effort to attract investors is crucial. The government should actively seek partnerships with private entities willing to invest in road construction and maintenance. This collaborative model can accelerate project completion and ensure long-term sustainability. By combining toll financing, public awareness, and strategic investment, Ogun State can pave the way for a modern and efficient transportation network.

@officialABAT Well done,PBAT, and for your efforts to revamp the economy. May this moment strengthen you to re-set the nation.

I used to think my parents were too strict about mindfulness until I started living on my own.

My first test came when I left my house with the water tap unintentionally on full blast for 48 hours. Of course, I came home to an apartment full of water.

I was using my right hand to sweep water & the left to brush away tears for carelessness 😭

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Can someone kindly help me with one clear verse from the Quran or one authentic hadith where the Prophet (SAW) said:

— Whoever insults me, k!ll him
— Whoever insults Allah or Islam, k!ll him
— Whoever commits bl@sph3my, k!ll him

I’ll be waiting, because some of you seem more loyal to fabricated bl00dlust than the actual teachings of Islam.

The National Assembly stands at a pivotal moment in history today. Nigerians have a right to clarity regarding the President's emergency proclamation, and lawmakers should cast their votes individually, rather than through a voice vote. The people deserve to know exactly how their elected representatives decide to vote.
