Drank Pepsi today and I looked around for where to throw the plastic but nowhere.

Imagine going out in a well ironed senator but having to carry an empty Pepsi bottle all the way home. People seeing you would think you sell liquid soap and picked up the bottle on the road to package your product. Only you know that's not the case, you just didn't want to litter the environment.

This is part of the problem we are facing today. You’d hardly see a public waste bin around when you need one but we want a clean environment.

It reminds me of structuration theory by Anthony Giddens. People’s behavior is shaped by the structures around them, but people also reproduce or change those structures through their actions.

Our environment is what it is today because of the structures currently in place that enable some type of human actions. The absence of waste bins only creates a culture that makes littering easier and proper disposal harder. Not many people would take their Pepsi bottle about until they see a bin. In fact , more than 50% of Lagosians may throw the bottle away carelessly. That is the behavior we have normalized overtime that has become a structure in itself through repetition because we have done nothing spectacular to discourage it consciously and unconsciously .

If we want different outcomes, we have to put different structures in place to influence the behavior we want to see. Not hard at all, just have public waste bins, effective waste collection systems, control and regulate the activities of people who sell stuff on the street and roads if we can’t stop them and then put a STRICT ENFORCEMENT in place.

People's actions matter, but social structures to a very large extent shape what actions are likely. And when those actions are repeated over time, they recreate the very conditions that sustain the system.

I eventually saw a bin in front of a barber shop and threw my Pepsi bottle there.

Owa-Onire: A Ghost Town and One Man Left Behind

*“Everyone ran. Lekan stayed. Now he’s the only name left to answer when the wind calls Owa-Onire.”*
When the security team of 100 men from the drone unit, MOPOL, and the Anti-Kidnapping Squad rolled into Owa-Onire today, they found nothing but silence. No markets, no voices, no children. Just empty compounds, a locked mosque, a quiet church, and one man standing in the middle of it all.
The operation is part of the Inspector General of Police’s push to screen the Kwara South forest belts. Ifelodun, Isin, Oke-Ero, Ekiti LGAs — troops are moving through all of them. But Owa-Onire stopped them cold. A town wiped clean.
The only person left is Lekan, a prince of the town. He calls himself “the landlord” now, and the title fits. The big mansion, the abandoned houses, the mosque, the church — all of it belongs to the crickets and to him.
He didn’t stay out of courage. He stayed because “Bororo’s War” took everyone else. It didn’t start with one attack. Bandits came and came again. Kidnappings became routine. Then they took the monarch himself and held him in the forest for months until a ransom was paid. After that, the people couldn’t take it anymore. They locked their doors and left. Some went to Okeonigbin. Most just disappeared into somewhere safer.
Owa-Onire isn’t alone. At least 28 communities in Ifelodun LGA are deserted. The same fate has swallowed Oro-Ago, Omugo, Ahun, Oke-Oyan, Owa-Kajola, Owa-Onire, and Oba in Isin LGA. Residents say over 23 villages have been overrun by suspected bandits. Ancestral homes stand empty. Farms rot. Towns become names on a map with no one to say them.
Lekan eats from his farm. That’s how he survives. There’s nowhere to buy food here, nowhere to buy anything. He’s alone with his land and the memory of a town that used to be alive.
The team leader handed him ₦10,000. Lekan took it quietly. He said he’d go to Okeonigbin to buy foodstuffs — the nearest place that still has a market.
He also told them people came into the community last night. He doesn’t know who they were or what they took. He just knows he heard them, and in the morning, nothing had changed. He was still alone.
Visibly disturbed by what they saw, the senior officers from Abuja and Lagos said no Nigerian community should be reduced to this. They described Owa-Onire’s abandonment as a failure that demands immediate action, and pledged to push for sustained security presence and concrete measures that will allow displaced residents to return home without fear.

If only the North and East had been this intentional about fighting insecurity in their regions when terrorism first emerged there, we would be in a much better place as a nation today.

Yes such a student mighty pass MCQ, essay, oral etc.

But he wouldn't pass majority of the clinical exams.

As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.

Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.

Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.

Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.

One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.

This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.

Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽

This video is exactly what I went through in Ladipo market!

I bought an engine for my Toyota Highlander some time ago. The dealer gave me 7 days warranty – if anything went wrong, I should return it.

His own mechanic installed it. Immediately after, the engine started smoking badly with heavy knocking.

To make matters worse, plenty of bolts and nuts were removed and never tightened back. The engine and gear were vibrating so violently it felt like they wanted to fly out of the car!
I called the dealer.

He came, saw everything and said the engine would need to be replaced. I paid ₦20k for the labour. The mechanic even told me casually, “If we have to change it again, you go pay another money o.” I told them clearly: the dealer is paying – I’m not adding one kobo.
After plenty of stories, they showed me “another engine” to install the next day.

Fast forward: before I even reached the market the following morning, these guys had removed the same smoking engine overnight and repainted/refurbished (“ringed”) it to make it look brand new and different. Thank God I already took the engine number of the faulty one!

When I showed them the evidence, they started denying. The dealer had suddenly “travelled to the port to clear goods.”

I went to meet some guys on Oloruntoyin Street, settled them, and we stormed the shop. Before I could blink, strong boys arrived and properly bombed the place! Fast fast, the dealer appeared from nowhere and started begging.

After all the drama, I got a replacement. But I still towed the car to another mechanic and spent even more money.

Ladipo is full of these atrocities. That place needs serious sanitization. Lagos State government, please step in! This nonsense has gone on for too long. 🚨

Heavy rain started falling in Oyo State from 1am till around past 4:30a.m

If the same intense downpour happened where the kidnapped students and teachers are currently being held, it means they’ve been exposed to that heavy rain for over three hours straight.

That also means the 2 year old child was also soaked and helpless under the merciless rain. God, please have mercy. 💔💔
