Every time a bottle, food pack, nylon bag, or any waste is thrown from a vehicle onto the road, it may seem insignificant. However, when thousands of people do the same, our streets become littered, drainage channels become blocked, and the environment suffers.
What you throw away today can contribute to:
Flooding caused by blocked drains and waterways.
Environmental pollution and unpleasant surroundings.
Health risks from disease-causing pests and contaminated water.
Increased government spending on waste evacuation and road maintenance.
A negative image of our beautiful city.
A clean Lagos is not the responsibility of government alone - it is a duty we all share. Dispose of your waste properly, keep a waste bag in your vehicle, and use designated waste bins.
What you do: Throw waste on the road.
What you cause: Pollution, flooding, and environmental degradation.
What you should do: Keep your waste until you find a proper bin.
Keep Lagos Clean. Protect the Environment. Save Lives.

Just yesterday, I secured the approval of the Federal Executive Council, presided over by the President, for the establishment of the Nigeria Aircraft Leasing Company. The company will be an incorporated Special Purpose Vehicle that will be fully privately funded, commercially operated, and impose no obligation on the Federal Government to invest, but will enjoy strategic government backing. The government’s primary function will be to provide sovereign guarantees to international lessors and manufacturers, offering security for asset repossession and reducing perceived risks for investors. And for this, the government holds equity through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI).
The aim of the company is to act as an SPV for the acquisition or leasing of aircraft globally for the use of local operators, giving the local airlines the option to further lease these aircraft locally through a single credible entity with a sovereign backing.
This initiative seeks to enhance the capacity of local operators to service domestic routes (which are presently fraught with cancellations and delays) and empower them to compete with the foreign airlines that presently dominate the Nigerian market.
I explained further at a press briefing yesterday after the meeting of the Federal Executive Council.

Between February 23 and March 16, the petrol price surge in Nigeria was more than twice as intense as the increase in the United States.
While both countries recorded double-digit growth, prices in Nigeria moved at double the speed of the American market.
Nigeria and Cambodia were the only two nations to record a hike near 50 percent.

🚨Did anyone understand how insane Nvdia's real game plan is ?
> Sell GPUs to entire tech industry.
> Use that money to build AI agents.
> Open-source those agents.
> More agents need more GPUs.
> Nvdia now gets paid twice.
> The workforce gets replaced once.
This is not just a product.
It’s a self-reinforcing revenue loop.
Absolute masterclass in business strategy.
Imagine being at sea and watching missiles fly past you like this.
This video was made by sailors around the conflict area. Missiles were just flying past them.

I suggest you do both
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

Arsenal v Mansfield
Champions League finals in the Emirates
Mansfield: Let's use VAR
Arsenal: No, the referee can use VAR if he wants
Mansfield: But mandatory VAR will eliminate errors, the ref can't see
Arsenal: Some referees don't watch TV, so they can't understand VAR
Mansfield: In 2026? Does someone not know how to watch TV?
Arsenal: Did Pele and Maradona use VAR?
Mansfield: There was no VAR then; today there is
Arsenal: Anyway, Arteta will decide if there will be VAR
Mansfield: How can Arteta, the home coach, decide whether VAR will be used
Arsenal: in short, your fada
