Nigerians are very docile people. Airtel has a national network issue. Nobody complains, people experience fraudulent data consumption across service providers, Nobody takes action, no protests, no form of demand for better service, nothing at all.
What they do is switch to MTN. If MTN does not work they switch to Glo, if all of them don't work for them they switch to Starlink.
No demand for justice, no demand for accountability, just spineless complaints. When you try to take action the idiots will advise you to buy Starlink.
And then I took an action by calling out Airtel on my platform, Airtel reached out and decided to troubleshoot my area's network. I agreed with Airtel, let's try that even though I don't believe that can solve the problem.
But let's try something and see, if that solves the problem in my area we push forward and demand that it be enforced nationwide.
People start complaining that I am only concerned about myself, people who have taken no action before.
Others started scaring me. They are going to arrest you, instead of showing solidarity with me and standing up for me against a national problem and encouraging me, they start asking me to dock that the company will oppress me.
What is wrong with Nigerians?
Are you people cursed?
Can you people not stand up for once and achieve a common goal?
This is why you can't buy sardines anymore. In other countries when you increase the prices of basic products the people protest and try to kick the company out of their country.
This is why you buy iPhones at an extra cost. Every increment in the prices of products you see as an opportunity to exhibit class against your fellow citizens.
"I am better than you." "I am richer than you that is why I can afford it."
Are you people stupid?
Why are you so afraid of speaking out and suffering oppression?
What exactly is wrong with Nigerians?

When Accountability Feels Like an Attack: An Open Letter to Tokunbo Wahab
Dear Mr. @tokunbo_wahab,
Honourable Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Lagos State,
1. I write this with measured restraint and a deep sense of civic duty.
2. Ordinarily, I would ignore the incessant stream of tweets and public nagging that you often issue in response to what are, frankly, legitimate concerns raised by residents of Lagos.
3. But your recent post, directed at @IgumaScott and cloaked in performative outrage, demands a reply—not because of its accuracy, but because silence in the face of such gaslighting can, over time, distort public perception and embolden historical revisionism.
4. Mr. Wahab, it is deeply insulting—and frankly exhausting—to see you repeatedly conflate honest criticism with “divisive agendas.” When Lagosians and Nigerians at large express their dissatisfaction over the filth and stench that have become synonymous with many parts of Lagos, they are not attacking Lagos—they are questioning your competence as the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.
5. If Lagos smells and is dirty, it means you are failing at your job. No amount of poetic deflection or social media sermonising can cover that up.
6. Let’s be honest: Lagos is not some magical land that grants favours to migrants. It is a commercial hub, a port city, and a magnet for business—not because of your generosity or that of any other political figure, but because of geography and economic history.
7. People flock to Lagos not because they are desperate to live in Lagos, but because they need access to the sea—for their containers, their trade, their survival. That is not something anyone should be guilt-tripped for.
8. You speak of inclusivity, yet your tone reeks of condescension—as though anyone living in Lagos ought to be eternally grateful for simply existing within its boundaries.
9. Lagos is a Yoruba state, no doubt. But it is also a Nigerian city, constitutionally and economically. It thrives on the taxes, sweat, and enterprise of millions from across the federation. These people are not squatters; they are stakeholders. And yes, they have every right to hold you accountable—especially when you allow a global city to descend into environmental chaos.
10. If Lagos were truly the beacon of opportunity you claim, why haven’t the South West elites led a bold movement to go their separate way, to enjoy this so-called paradise in peace?
11. We all know the truth: despite all the talk of being the most educated region in Nigeria (a talking point reinforced tirelessly by the corrupt Lagos-Ibadan media), the South West establishment has never seriously pushed for secession.
12. And why? Because it knows the rest of Nigeria is its lifeblood—especially the East and South-South, whose commerce, creativity, and capital keep Lagos alive.
13. And speaking of the South-South—Warri Port, Calabar Port, Port Harcourt, and Onne—why do they remain underutilized, choked by bureaucracy and sabotage? Because certain vested interests fear that if those ports work, the East will rise economically and Lagos will lose its chokehold.
14. That is the real threat to Lagos—not migrants or critics, but the refusal of people like you to support a fairer economic structure that allows other regions to thrive.
15. Here’s a suggestion, Mr. Wahab: instead of using your office to tweet disdainfully at citizens, why not use your influence to champion the full activation of seaports in other regions? Do that, and you may just witness the “invaders” voluntarily leave Lagos for you.
16. Until then, kindly remember that anyone living and paying tax in Lagos has every right—by law, by citizenship, and by conscience—to call out environmental decay and systemic neglect.
17. You are not doing Nigerians a favour by “allowing” them to live in Lagos. Lagos is home to all who lawfully reside within it. And your job, sir, is not to lecture them—but to serve them.
Best wishes,
Preacher

Just in case people are not aware, the removal of electricity subsidies in Nigeria, which has caused the astronomical rise in electricity prices, was directly dictated by the World Bank's to both the previous and the present Nigerian government.
Whether you think electricity should even be subsidised or not (I personally think it should be, because there is literally no serious country in the world where it isn't), what should worry you more than the removal alone is the fact that a small group of unelected, anonymous white men in Washington DC acting on behalf of a foreign state interest (the US govt is the World Bank's biggest shareholder) have the power to determine how much you should pay for your electricity in Nigeria.
The electricity is generated in Nigeria, using Nigerian energy sources and Nigerian labour, and is distributed and transmitted using Nigerian infrastructure, but one group of oyibos you have never heard of who are sitting on another continent somehow have the power to instruct your government to raise your energy bills and complicate your life.
They even offer your government loans that it doesn't need and isn't qualified for, then they make disbursement conditional on increasing your electricity bill by removing the same electricity subsidy that they have in their own country, because Africa's largest population and industrial cluster must not be allowed to have sustained and reliable access to cheap power. If it gets that, the only possible result is industrialisation - which means no more free natural resources and cheap labour to support the existing unipolar economic order.
This is why geopolitics concerns you in Agege. It literally determines the price of your Ikeja Electric units.
