I think it was this one Saturday when I planned an outing with my guys, only for everyone to cancel at the last minute. I was the only one left and I was still at home oo, and normally I was supposed to just stay back but no, I still went out😭

So I just wandered around, I sat at a restaurant, then I stumbled on an owambe and stayed there till around 6pm when they started packing up. After that I went to a mai suya spot and stayed till 9 pm.

I later walked home and got home around 10:30 when I could have just taken a bike ooI. I took my shower and slept. All this because I didn't want to stay at home😭😭

Omo I'm homophobic like mad😂😂

I’m extremely disappointed in us as Nigerian youths. Extremely.
I woke up this morning to get ready for work without electricity and without water. The last time we had power in my area was Saturday morning. This is Abule Ijesha, Lagos.
I work a 9–5. I earn a substantial amount every month, and yet I’m still dealing with something as basic as the lack of electricity and water.
And meanwhile, young people on Twitter are still allowing tribal sentiments and religious affiliations to divide us in 2026.
Do you people not understand how limited you are compared to young people in developed countries? Do you not understand that if anything happens right now, the politicians who are the most privileged among us have the means to leave this country while the rest of us remain here to deal with the consequences?
Do you genuinely think the elites care about the tribal and religious divisions they use to keep us fighting each other?
Your Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources in Lagos can be online flaunting a Patek Philippe while young people are struggling with basic infrastructure. And this is just a Commissioner.
They know exactly what they’re doing. They know that as long as we’re distracted by tribe, religion, sex, politics and whatever other silly division they can exploit, we won’t look up and ask the people actually responsible for our living conditions the difficult questions.
This is disgusting.
And honestly, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Not because we are powerless, but because we have failed woefully to recognize where our collective interests lie.
We keep fighting each other while the people benefiting from this dysfunction continue to live above the consequences of it.
We need to do better.

Campaigning for a second term with “I will” instead of “I have” has to be a joke.

Is 8 years not enough for Sanwoolu and Hamzat who are very good yoruba speakers to improve the lives of Lagosians?

Is the life of an average Lagosian better than it was 8years ago?

[Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour @GRVlagos]

Dear Lagosians, This is my promise to you.
I will never in any language tell you to live in your parents house as an answer to the expensive rents and housing deficit.
Instead we will work tirelessly to deliver a 100,000 units of housing that are not only accessible but truly affordable.
Enact laws that protect tenants and create an agency to investigate and enforce said laws.

I will never in any language tell you that Traffic is a lifestyle.

Instead we will deliver the entire rail network in 2years by opening the project to private sector procurement. Our focus will not be how to pad or steal money it would be on making movement in lagos more effective and affordable.

I will never in any language tell you that we do not know or understand how much waste is being generated in Lagos state, neither will we tell you to go back to you village when you complain about the state of the enviroment .

We will rid the waste management system of the corruption and racketeering that has left lagos covered in filth. We will create a waste to energy and waste to wealth value chain. We will build out proper sewage processing facilities and empower local governments to participate in waste management.

Lastly under no circumstance will any public official boast about expensive watches whilst so many struggle in poverty.

My promise to you is high impact governance, actions you will feel, because Actions speak far louder than words.

3yrs of Bola Tinubu presidency was just about Peter Obi discussions.

insane!

PAY 👏 POLITICIANS 👏 MINIMUM 👏 WAGE 👏

[Makanaki @CaptainWitBlack]

First time in my entire life witnessing citizens of a country focusing on and scrutinizing an opposition leader while ignoring an incumbent who has plunged a large number of citizens into abject poverty.

Must be SPELL.

[Brother Possible @BrotherPossible]

This conversation I had with colleagues today in the office.

People want the Peter Obi they got endeared to but discovered that the corruption in the country didn't allow him become president.

In hindsight, they now wish he was someone that could win at all cost, not realizing that winning at all cost will cost them the Peter Obi they got endeared to.

Nigeria got so dysfunctional that only the dysfunctional ways work. A failed country

[Ibrahim @ibroraheem]

This community transformer racket has to stop completely. It is daylight robbery disguised as community self-help, and the regulatory double standard is sickening.

​Look at how the power sector works in Nigeria:

​When a community transformer blows up, the DisCo goes deaf. You write letters, make calls, and nothing happens. Six months down the line, residents are suffocating in darkness, small businesses are dying, and fuel prices are draining everybody's pockets.

​Out of sheer desperation, landlords gather, task every household 50k, 100k, or more, and scrape together 5 to 8 million Naira to buy a brand new transformer, buy heavy copper cables, and pay for poles.

​The moment that equipment is energized, the DisCo claims it as company property. They add it to their network balance sheet, and within two weeks, they start distributing Band A and Band B bills. If you do not pay, they disconnect you with the ladder leaning on the very pole you bought with your own sweat.

​How can a private, for-profit utility company take free capital equipment from struggling citizens, pay zero interest, give zero equity, and then charge those same citizens full price to use it?

​If NERC mandated that customers who pay upfront for meters under the MAP scheme must be refunded their money over time through energy credits, why does the exact same logic not apply to transformers?

​A meter costs 100k to 150k and you refund it via monthly energy units.

A transformer costs 6 to 10 million Naira funded by an entire street, and you pretend it was a charitable donation to a private entity?
​This injustice has to end.

​If a community is forced to step in and buy infrastructure because a DisCo failed its obligations, NERC should make automatic amortization mandatory:

​Every single household on that street that contributed to buying that transformer should have their meter credited with monthly energy units until the full cost of the asset, cables, and installation logistics is completely paid back.

​You cannot let private DisCos enrich their asset portfolios with crowd-funded community blood and then charge those same people premium tariffs for power. If DisCos want to own the asset, they must refund the people who paid for it.

I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening. We’re not being priced out of luxury. We’re being priced out of normal. A house, car, Groceries, Childcare, Insurance,These weren’t extravagant expectations 20 years ago.

And now, several decades later, I sit on my balcony, cup of tea in hand, vision to the horizon, and wonder:

Is Fefenefe indeed the beauty of a woman?
