Today, I handed over land allocation letters to residents across 98 villages in Ito-Omu and surrounding communities.
For many families, land represents identity and a foundation for the future. I am pleased that we have taken an important step towards giving these communities greater certainty and peace of mind.
Our administration will continue to protect the rights of our people and support orderly growth across Lagos. There is still more work to do, but today marks meaningful progress for these communities.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we continue to build a better Lagos together.
@kayode_tevi@nimc_ng Exactly, the face capturing is not encouraging at all. If possible it should allow back camera so someone can help do the snapping reading through the prompt message
I’m honored to participate in Bett UK 2026, the world's largest EdTech event, from January 21-23.
I'm going with clear goals: to discover the most impactful technologies, connect with global innovators, and bring back actionable strategies to transform our classrooms in Lagos. The mission is simple but powerful, to unlock the full potential of every learner and educator in our state.
If you're also attending, I'd love to connect! Let's exchange ideas on the future of education.

A taba tibi……!!!
The spirit of Eyo reminds us that community is everything. We are connected by our actions, our respect for one another, and the way we care for our environment. As the saying goes, “Eyo amo lowo, amo lese, amo timo timo” which speaks to order, discipline, and collective responsibility.
Keeping our environment clean is not just a government duty, it is a cultural value. When we protect our streets, our waterways, and our public spaces, we are preserving our heritage and showing care for one another.
A clean Lagos reflects our values, our pride, and our commitment to the generations coming after us. Let us do our part, today and always.

After becoming President, I asked my security team to go have lunch at a restaurant.We sat down, and everyone ordered what they wanted.
At the table in front of us, there was a man waiting to be served. After he was served,I told one of my guards, go and ask that gentleman to join us..The soldier went to deliver my invitation.The man stood up took his plate and sat down right next to me.
While he ate,his hands trembled constantly,and he didn't lift his head from his meal. When we finished,he greeted me without looking up. I shook his hand and he left .
The soldier said to me:
Madiba,that man must have been very ill, because his hands wouldn't stop shaking while he was eating..
Absolutely not I replied. The reason for his trembling is something else.
Then I explained:
That man was the director of the prison where I was held..After torturing me,I screamed and cried asking for water.. he came to humiliate me - he mocked me and instead of giving me water, he urinated on my head.
He isn't sick.he was afraid that now that i am the President of South Africa i would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me.
But I am not like that - such behaviour is not part of my character or my ethics.
Spirit that seem revenge destroy nation while those that seek reconciliation build them. As I left home I knew that if I did not leave behind all my anger,hatred and resentment,I would remain a prisoner forever..
Moral lesson : Hate is for the weak
Today, I was at the renaming of the Ikeja Military Cantonment to T. A. Lagbaja Cantonment.
This renaming is not just a new title; it represents our respect, gratitude, and recognition for the courage and sacrifices of one of Nigeria’s exceptional military officers, Lieutenant General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, the former Chief of Army Staff.
By naming it after Lieutenant General Lagbaja, we pay tribute to a leader whose life exemplified courage, discipline and patriotism. His distinguished service in the Nigerian Army over three decades, particularly in counterinsurgency, internal security, and peacekeeping operations, deserves recognition.
I commend the Nigerian Army and the Ministry of Defence for this initiative. It reinforces a culture of recognising and celebrating our heroes and assures all patriots that their sacrifices will always be acknowledged.
Divine Blessings on My Birthday.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As I stand before you on my birthday, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and humility. I thank you for the precious gift of life and for your unwavering goodness, mercy, and love that have guided me thus far.
To my loving family, supportive friends, and colleagues, I express heartfelt appreciation for being my pillars of strength. Your unconditional love and encouragement mean everything to me.
As I celebrate another year of life, I pray for your continued guidance, protection, and blessings. May your divine purpose for my life be fulfilled, and may I remain a source of joy, inspiration, and blessing to others.
May this new year bring laughter, adventure, and unforgettable moments. May I continue to grow, learn, and evolve into the best version of myself, reflecting your goodness and love.
Amen!
Happy Birthday to me!
