LEADERSHIP IS NOT A CHOICE

I hear a lot of people say that “everyone is not born to be a leader; some are born to be leaders while others are born to be followers”. But in the real sense, is this really true or just something people say to avoid being responsible?

I really pray that the APC loses Lagos. They have become so complacent. The absence of a unified opposition has made them believe they are indispensable.

This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.

Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.

But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.

They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.

It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.

Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

During Governor Babatunde Fashola’s tenure (2007–2015), Lagos generated approximately 9,000–12,000 metric tonnes of waste per day! Yet things weren’t this bad.
What you are dealing with is not new, it just shows how ineffective your policies are.

[Tokunbo Wahab @tokunbo_wahab]

Dear Gbadebo @GRVlagos

A lot of people are genuinely concerned about the waste situation in parts of Lagos, and that concern is understandable. Waste is not something you can talk around. If refuse is sitting on your street, beside your market, close to your bus stop, or inside the drainage near your house, the only thing that matters to you is that it should be removed. And that is fair.

But it may also help to explain the scale of what is being managed, and what is actually being done.

Lagos generates about 13,000 tonnes of waste every day. Not weekly. Every day. In May alone, LAWMA and PSP operators evacuated about 418,500 tonnes of waste across the state, which comes to an average of about 13,200 tonnes daily. That is not a small operation. It involves hundreds of PSP operators, public waste teams, transfer and disposal operations, street sweepers, enforcement teams, customer service staff, drivers, loaders, supervisors and monitoring officers working across a very large and difficult city.

Just to mention, during the 2026 Hajj, Saudi Sanitation Authorities announced that a total of over 472 tons of waste were generated from Mina and Muzdalifah. This is total waste generated by pilgrims all over the world in 5 days.

Still, nobody is pretending that everything is fine everywhere. Some communities have had delays. Some PSP operators have not performed well. Some routes have grown beyond the capacity that was originally assigned to them. In some areas, road access is poor. During the rains, movement into disposal sites can become slower. Trucks break down. Diesel and spare parts are expensive. Payment compliance is also weak in many places, and when people do not pay for waste service, the operators struggle to maintain trucks, pay crews and keep to schedule. These are not excuses but the harsh realities that have to be fixed.

That is why LAWMA has been reviewing weak routes, replacing and sanctioning underperforming operators, increasing monitoring, and deploying evacuation teams to pressure points. As of last month (May), 442 PSP operators were active across Lagos while 27 routes were under review for service improvement. LAWMA also received 474 complaints and service requests that month, which are now part of how the agency is identifying weak spots and following up on operator performance.

There is also a daily blackspot operation that many people do not see unless it is happening near them. LAWMA clears 3,000 black spots every day across 57 routes. These are the road medians, market edges, illegal dumping points, bus stops, setbacks and open spaces where people keep dropping waste outside the normal collection system. Some are cleared in the morning and abused again by night. That is one of the hardest parts of the job.

This is why enforcement has become more serious. In 2025, LAWMA recorded 1,023 incidents of illegal dumping and other waste violations across the state. Out of these, 447 cases were referred for prosecution. The surveillance teams also identified 431 scavengers and reconciled 145 properties with their assigned PSP operators. The data showed that much of the illegal dumping happens between midnight and early morning, and the waste is not only household refuse. It includes construction debris and even hazardous waste in some cases.

So when people say “just clear it,” we agree. It must be cleared. But we also have to stop the same locations from being turned back into dumpsites again and again.

You’re so full of excuses. Can you fucking do your job and stop being defensive?

These are pictures taken this morning. These are houses inside streets, not main roads, yet your LAWMA trucks haven’t been there to clear the waste

Is it until we have an outbreak? @jidesanwoolu

[Human Shield of Gaza @mcpaper007]

The Tokunbo dude is so useless , all he knows is bulldozers and arrests. No “out of the box” thinking , no improvisation and innovation in policy making . Decentralize waste management, this problem is clearly beyond the capacity of LAWMA . Lagos should have several waste managem

What's being defended isn't billionaires.

What's being defended is the principle that rights belong to everyone, including successful people.

The moment you decide someone's rights disappear because they're too wealthy, you've abandoned rights altogether and replaced them with political favoritism.

Your position isn't that rights are universal.

It's that rights are conditional on serving your demands.

The billionaire is just today's unpopular exception. Tomorrow it'll be the millionaire. Then the small business owner. Then anyone with more than you.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.

And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.

One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.

Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.

If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.

Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.

Alternatively

There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.

To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.

It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)

Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.

Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up

But

They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks

Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

I’m not the only one who witnessed that massive giveaway Bandits hosted on TikTok. The desperation from Nigerians especially the girls, was honestly shocking.
Account numbers (mostly OPay and MoniePoint) were flying across the screen non-stop during his live stream between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM two nights ago.
The Fulani host ended up dishing out over ₦50 million, and the way people were shamelessly begging their so-called oppressors for money left me speechless.

Thousands were tuned in, glued to the live.
How did we, as a country, sink to this level? It’s genuinely heartbreaking.💔

“The one you see them demonstrate in the north is not an atom of Shari'a what so ever”, yet the north thinks the south-west (Yorubas) are not serious Muslims.

If you think Shari’a will not affect simply because you are not a Muslim, then you have not been paying attention.

[OMO_BASHORUN @Msbbash2]

@mickytob78 It's all propaganda and influence of the media, especially western Media houses.
The one you see them demonstrate in the north is not an atom of Shari'a what so ever.
If Shari'a is being implemented in the north, all these politicians would have been used as a scape goat.

[TERRORIST SURVIVOR 💪🏽 @GbolahanOlanyi0]

VDM is 100% right about what he said. My own experience was brutal.

During my abduction, I experienced what can only be described as slavery in the hands of bandits. After my family struggled to gather ₦15 million and other items they demanded, we thought the nightmare would end. Instead, the very next day, they increased the ransom to ₦55 million. That was when the real suffering began.

The group that kidnapped me had abducted 11 people. My driver was killed. Out of the remaining victims, 9 were eventually released, but I was not. The leader gave my family a five-day ultimatum to pay the ₦55 million or he would kill me.

On the 22nd day in the forest, a day before the deadline expired, he ordered two of his boys to take me somewhere else. We rode on motorcycles for hours through the night. When we finally arrived, I was handed over to another group. There, I met two victims who were already chained down. They handcuffed and chained me alongside them.

That was the last day I ever saw the group that originally kidnapped me.

The new group was even worse. I spent another 20 days with them, enduring severe beatings, torture, hunger, and constant threats. They demanded ₦50 million from my family. At one point, one of the bandits even collected ₦2 million through a bank transfer, yet they still refused to release me.

In the end, I escaped.

Sometimes when people discuss kidnapping online, they don't fully understand the horror victims go through. The physical pain heals, but the memories remain. No human being should have to experience such cruelty.

Honestly, this country's insecurity is heartbreaking and inhumane.💔😭🇳🇬
