What happened to Ado Ekiti? This town used to be bubbling with energy a few years ago. Where did all the men and boys disappear to? Everywhere is looking dry these days.
Police harassment, backward thinking, and a lack of progress are some of the reasons Ado seems stagnant. You can hardly walk for five minutes without being stopped by the police. Many properties in Ado are reportedly being sold to Igbo investors, yet there’s little focus on meaningful development. Rather than driving growth and innovation, too many people seem content spending their days discussing issues instead of solving them. 💔💔
You can’t build a modern economy when tech professionals, creatives, and young people can’t walk five minutes in Ado without being viewed as suspects. 🤦♂️ Constant police harassment is pushing some of Ekiti’s brightest talents to cities like Lagos and Abuja. When innovation is discouraged and young minds feel unwelcome, stagnation becomes inevitable. THIS STAGNATION IS MAN-MADE
Open Letter to the Governor of Ekiti State @biodunaoyebanji
Your Excellency, Governor of Ekiti State,
I write this letter as a concerned citizen who genuinely wants to see Ekiti State thrive and reach its full potential.
For many of us who grew up in Ekiti or have spent years visiting Ado-Ekiti, there is a growing feeling that the state is not moving at the pace it should. While other states are actively attracting investments, empowering young people, and building modern economies, Ekiti risks being left behind.
One of the biggest concerns is the relationship between law enforcement and young people. In today’s digital economy, many young professionals work remotely as software developers, designers, content creators, digital marketers, traders, and entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, many of these young people often feel unfairly targeted and harassed simply because of how they look, the devices they carry, or the vehicles they drive.
A state cannot build a thriving technology ecosystem when its innovators and creatives constantly feel like suspects. Many talented Ekiti youths are relocating to Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, and abroad because they believe they have better opportunities and freedom elsewhere. This brain drain is costing the state valuable talent and future economic growth.
There is also concern about the pace of economic development. While private investors continue to acquire properties and establish businesses, many citizens believe more can be done to create an environment that encourages local entrepreneurship, attracts investment, and generates sustainable jobs.
Rather than relying solely on government employment, Ekiti should position itself as a hub for technology, agriculture, education, tourism, and innovation. The state’s greatest asset is its educated population, and this advantage should be fully leveraged.
Suggested Solutions :
End Unnecessary Police Harassment :
Establish a clear framework for policing that respects citizens’ rights.
Create a public complaint channel for reporting harassment.
Conduct regular training for security personnel on community policing.
Launch an Ekiti Digital Economy Initiative
Create technology hubs and innovation centers across the state.
Provide grants and support for startups and young entrepreneurs.
Partner with private technology companies to create jobs.
Retain and Attract Talent
Offer incentives for businesses that employ Ekiti youths.
Develop co-working spaces and reliable internet infrastructure.
Promote remote work opportunities and digital skills training.
Improve Infrastructure
Continue upgrading major roads and transportation networks.
Invest in stable power and internet connectivity.
Prioritize infrastructure projects that directly support economic growth.
Promote Investment and Business Growth
Simplify business registration and approval processes.
Create an investor-friendly environment that attracts local and international businesses.
Support small and medium-sized enterprises with funding and training.
Your Excellency, this letter is not written to criticize for the sake of criticism. It is written out of hope. Ekiti has enormous potential, a highly educated population, and a reputation for excellence. With the right policies and leadership, the state can become one of Nigeria’s leading destinations for innovation, investment, and opportunity.
The future of Ekiti depends not only on building roads and structures but also on creating an environment where young people can dream, build, innovate, and succeed without fear.
Respectfully,
A Concerned Ekiti Citizen 🖊️.
Saw a website content writing job on Upwork. You know what I did instead of sending a generic proposal?
I took the job description, fed it to Grok, and asked it to create a full website layout for a hypothetical company targeting the same audience and addressing their key pain points and optimized for AI/search visibility.
Then I took that structure to Claude, built out the entire website (even used Render MCP for a slick 3D section), and deployed it live on Netlify in no time.
Instead of talking salary or making empty promises, I applied with the actual live website and simply asked the client
“What do you think I should add or remove?”
Landed the gig in less than 30 minutes. A full website content writing gig. All done in less than 10 minutes with grok and Claude. Infinite AI money glitch
You see the trio of Madrid, Athletico Madrid and Barcelona, they are bunch of funny clubs who would do anything to compete. Madrid made that offer to satisfy their President’s promise of offering 150M for a player knowing that Athletico would reject while at the same time ensuring Barca can’t offer less and ultimately doesn’t get the player they want.
