Days ago, I started using my phone for a 90 days Cybersecurity challenge with MyFirstHack as a way of improving as a learner in CS
I started posting daily experience on LinkedIn but I will start here as a thread🚀🚀

For a game to retain players, it has to keep giving them something to do, something to achieve or something to look forward to.
I think this is where Lagos Life is struggling. The original challenge was to start from nothing, work your way up and build wealth. Unfortunately, hackers flooded the economy with money and ruined that experience. People became billionaires overnight, and before the game could properly develop, many players had already achieved everything there was to achieve.
So rn what’s left to really do ?
I think the focus now should be on making the game more interactive. Give people reasons to actually visit and use the things they’ve acquired. Let clubs play updated music and have hypemen sounds, let gyms offer fitness routines and challenges, let churches and mosques have daily messages, sermons and audio. Even businesses could have activities that require some level of participation beyond just collecting weekly income.
There should also be new challenges and achievements that money alone cannot buy. That way, even the richest players still have something to work towards.
Now, I understand there may be technical limitations, but the good thing is that Lagos Life already has a name and a community. That’s something many developers struggle to build from scratch. The devs should take their time, improve the actual gameplay and eventually build a proper mobile version.
At this point, people don’t need more ways to make money in Lagos Life. They need more reasons to spend time there.

PORTRAITS OF BLOOD (II): Names, Photos, Videos… How Lekki #EndSARS Protesters Were Massacred https://t.co/3fqaJBxBem
6 Years Later! We are still dealing with Insecurity, hunger, poverty, lack of proper health care and the highest level of corruption and impunity. The saddest part is that we are even more divided as a people at a time when we should be most united.
I hope one day we truly realize the power that we have as citizens and stop allowing a few selfish individuals destroy the success and prosperity of the majority of us.
Till then, ✌🏾 and 🤍
ENDSARS LEKKI TOLL GATE: NEVER FORGET OCTOBER 20, 2020
Today, October 20, 2026, marks the sixth anniversary of the Lekki Toll Gate shootings, a painful reminder of the price Nigerian youths paid in their demand for a better country.
On that fateful night, peaceful #EndSARS protesters were met with gunfire. Lives were lost, many were injured, and the nation was left with questions about justice, accountability, and the sanctity of human life.
We must never forget. We must never normalise injustice.
As we remember the victims, I reaffirm my belief that a New Nigeria is possible—a country where citizens are protected, not brutalised; where young people are heard, not silenced; and where government power is exercised with responsibility and respect for human rights.
Nigeria must become a nation where no citizen is punished for demanding good governance and a better future.
May the souls of the departed continue to rest in peace. May their sacrifice strengthen our resolve to build a Nigeria where this tragedy will never be repeated.
A New Nigeria is POssible. A Nigeria where every life matters. -PO

The gathering was organised to honour those who lost their lives on October 20, 2020, and remember the demonstrations against police brutality.
Six Years After #EndSARS, CAPPA Demands Unreserved Apology, Justice, Reparations for Victims
Six years after the violent suppression of peaceful demonstrations in Nigeria, Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA) has called on the Federal and Lagos State Governments to tender an unreserved public apology for the Lekki Toll Gate massacre, alongside full official acknowledgement and redress for killings, injuries, and related abuses committed nationwide during the #EndSARS protests.
Marking the sixth anniversary of the October 20, 2020, shootings, the organisation maintained that the Nigerian state had to directly confront this legacy of bloodshed through independent prosecutions, comprehensive reparations, and structural police reforms, urging political parties and aspirants to make these non-negotiable commitments central to their platforms ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The organisation observed that the enduring tragedy of #EndSARS lay in the bitter irony that a civic movement organised to resist police terror was crushed by the very state violence it sought to dismantle.
The #EndSARS protests began as a nationwide outcry against systemic police brutality, especially the abuses of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Public outrage boiled over on October 3, 2020, after a viral video showed SARS operatives shooting a young man outside Wetland Hotel in Ughelli, Delta State, and driving off in his car. The footage quickly pushed anger from social media onto the streets, transforming the demonstrations into a broad movement demanding accountability and respect for human rights.
In her remarks, Zikora Ibeh, CAPPA’s Assistant Executive Director, stated that a peaceful protest against police brutality was answered with bullets, and that the state compounded that violence by disputing the suffering of its victims. She maintained that an unreserved apology had to begin with government accepting responsibility, naming the wrongs committed, and bringing those responsible to justice.
CAPPA recalled that the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry, in its comprehensive 309-page report, had characterised the crackdown as a “massacre in context,” directly indicting the Nigerian Army and police for the deaths and severe injuries of peaceful demonstrators. The organisation rebuked state authorities for denying the truth and dodging accountability, noting that the Federal Government outrightly dismissed the panel’s findings, while the Lagos State Government issued an insensitive administrative White Paper disputing the casualty records.
CAPPA further highlighted the landmark July 2024 judgment of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, which found the Federal Republic of Nigeria liable for violating protesters’ fundamental rights to freedom of expression, assembly, association, and freedom from torture, ordering financial compensation for victims alongside fresh, independent investigations. CAPPA demanded the prompt, complete implementation of the regional court’s ruling and a transparent public report on compliance.
The urgency of judicial accountability was further underscored by the conclusion of the post-mortem examination of 20-year-old journalist Pelumi Onifade. Onifade was attacked and arrested by personnel of the Lagos State Task Force on October 24, 2020, while covering protest-related events at the Ministry of Agriculture Abattoir complex in Oko-Oba, Agege. Just four days earlier, on October 20, 2020, he had filmed political figure Abiodun Bolarinwa firing live rounds at unarmed #EndSARS demonstrators in the Abule Egba area of Lagos.
The official autopsy confirmed that Onifade died from a fatal gunshot wound to his lower torso. Although this medical finding was documented in late 2020, it was suppressed until its formal presentation before the coroner’s court in 2026. CAPPA demanded conclusive criminal proceedings and the immediate prosecution of the Task Force personnel
6 years on 🕊️
We will never ever forget our true heroes.
Your immeasurable sacrifice remains a landmark moment in our story.
Before the guns went off, we witnessed real selflessness and patriotism in moments when we abandoned our personal differences for one common goal.
I hope that we can find our way back there someday. 🙏🏽
20/10/2020. Voices that asked for justice were met with bullets. We carry their names and their courage in our souls. We will never forget and we will never stop demanding truth. 🤍
#LekkiTollGateMassacre
Nigerian youths, very hypocritical people..
E don reach October 20 now and una don remember lekki tollgate massacre but we go say make una vote out the terrible government wey sanction this killings una go suddenly remember Lagos is a Yoruba speaking state and all type of bigotry wey dey this earth..
Na who die, na e own don finish...
Don't die for Nigeria or Nigerians, they are hypocrites.
It was a fateful night at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State, with conditions that were ripe for disaster. A tragedy that shook the world.
On that penultimate night of the peaceful demonstrative rallies, a Twitter user tweeted that the army was on its way to the tollgate.
But innocent Nigerian youths maintained their positions. Armed with just placards & our loud voices, & singing the National Anthem at the top of our lungs, we thought those were symbolic & would save us. WE WERE WRONG!
This is a very sad Nigerian haunting story; the scars are far from over. Overwhelmed by pent-up anger & bursting from the inside to be heard, we never imagined that the armed forces who are meant to protect us were out for blood.
At around 7:45 p.m. on 20 October 2020, our comrades stationed on the lookout spotted the Nigerian Army directly ahead. By the time the army arrived & opened fire on unarmed peaceful protesters, it was already too late!
Overcome by the force of numbers & bullets, confusion & chaos ignited. Many youths died; others lived to count the losses. The cross movement of statistics of the horror were staggering. And when the sound of the gun died down, the army took the dead bodies with them
The Nigerian Army are guilty of genocide. It took almost six years for morgues & coroner’s reports to come forward with the truth
And when Bola Tinubu was finally asked to comment on the massacre, he said, “How are they there? Why were they there? What kind of characters were they?” He showed no sign of remorse for the children gunned down in their prime. He carried on as if nothing happened!
But the CNN captured everything. Governor Babajide Sanwolu of Lagos would later confirm that children actually died at the tollgate.
“Why are you killing us?” A CNN investigation exposed what really happened at the Lekki tollgate, casting doubt on the Nigerian government’s official false narrative.
EndSARS is a marathon, not a sprint……..
Someday, somehow, & in some ways, our comrades will get the justice they deserve. Victory at last & closure for the families.
An end to trepidation & moral turpitude.
