A reminder of a different era. They don't make footballers like that anymore. 👏⚽️

The Heads of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria had unanimously agreed that the Minimum Admissible Scores for admissions into Universities should be 150, Colleges of Nursing, 150, and Polytechnics, 100.
I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka.
I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing.
She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now."
I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains."
I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people."
That idea was so beautiful I agreed.
Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying.
I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough.
She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it."
She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby.
I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it.
Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.
This experience was disappointing and honestly worrying. Emergency response is not something any city should take lightly. In critical moments, every second matters. A functional and reliable emergency system saves lives, reduces traffic chaos, and gives people confidence that help will come when needed.
Lagos is growing fast, and our emergency response system must grow with it. We need faster response times, better coordination, more equipment, and more accountability.
We can do better. And we should.

BREAKING: The Federal Government has banned recipients of honorary degrees from prefixing “Dr” to their names in official, academic, or professional usage.
remember when wildlife photographer Varun Aditya shot this impressive clip without flash, staying in a hiding place for 3 nights to patiently wait for the pride of Lions.
Oh wow, the waste collected from mandatory environmental sanitation yesterday and dumped on the road waiting for LAWMA to come pick up has been scattered by rain over night and washed right back onto the road and into the gutters. Look at that, efficiency! 😂🤦🏽♂️
To fill 50 litres of a Corolla car:
During Obasanjo’s time it cost ₦3,750. During Yar’Adua’s time, it cost ₦3,250. During GEJ’s time, it cost ₦4,350.
During Buhari’s time, it cost ₦11,900.
Now under Tinubu’s regime, to fill the same 50 litres of a Corolla car cost ₦61,350
It’s like Nigerians don’t know what’s going on. I have posted this earlier and now the news is out.
A popular airline’s management is currently considering increasing fares by 80%.
If you travel Abuja-Lagos return for N300,000 today which is the cheapest route. So prepare to pay N540,000 for the same trip very soon.
Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, just said this publicly: every other country - including other African countries - is dealing with a 70% increase in jet fuel cost. Nigeria’s increase is 270%. We are not a victim of global oil markets. We are a victim of our own system.
The government gave airlines a 30% discount on old debt and called it intervention. Jet fuel went from N900 to N3,300 per litre and nobody fixed the actual problem.
So the real cost of this fare hike is not going to be N240,000. It is the lives of Nigerians who will board buses into harm’s way because a ticket became a luxury. Abuja-Lagos road. The same road with bandits, kidnappers, and a government that has not secured it in years.
Nigerians will pay N240,000 for a return ticket. Or they will take the highway and the highway has its own price.
@fadekeojora Let me even give you one funny part of the gist, we were fined a huge amount for disposing off waste with those local ‘Aboki’ after they refused to come and take it o
@fadekeojora They say head cutting is not the solution to head ache, this is head cutting.:. If they solve the waste crisis and pick up and disposal crisis, then the system is in place for cleaning with environment, we can do the sanitation with his plan
