As I’m going through each slide on her story, I’m honestly speechless. The things people hide behind that perfect image, Imagine someone who makes a living capturing love and beautiful moments, treating his own wife so terribly at home while also cheating on her. The irony is actually crazy fr

Lagos is once again being ravaged by flood waters. Homes flooded, businesses shut, with widespread damage to lives and property. Yet again, this is being attributed to flash flooding and, predictably, fingers are being pointed at residents disposing waste irresponsibly. This however does not tell the whole story. In many cases, what we are seeing are the effects of a long-standing failure in Environmental Governance by leadership at State and Federal levels.

As one case in point, the attached images are extracts from the report of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) on the Coastal Road contract awarded to Hi-Tech. My legal team obtained it from BPP in 2024 as part of our public and legal challenge of the alarming lack of due process in the award of that contract.

The report indicates that no EIA was made available to the BPP at the time of its review. In addition, the breakdown of the contract award shows a sum of N400 million included for the Environmental Impact assessment as part of Hi-Tech’s N1.1 trillion contract for Section 1 of the road.

There are at least two significant problems with this:

1. It shows that the road contract was specified, designed, costed and awarded (and it subsequently commenced) without an EIA having first been properly done to assess and incorporate Environmental Concerns.
2. For such a project, the EIA should not be procured through the contractor building the road (Hi-Tech) as part of its contract, as there is an obvious conflict of interest in those roles that could undermine the independence of the EIA and impair the objectivity of its conclusions.

In light of these, the unfortunate escalating floods being witnessed in areas adjoining the coastal road, as recently admitted by the Lagos State Commissioner of the Environment, while tragic, should not come as a surprise.

I call for a proper independent investigation, prompt remediation measures and provision for fair compensation for losses suffered by residents and property owners with resettlement assistance as appropriate, where failure to follow due process and adhere to the Environmental Impact Assessment laws is established to have contributed to or caused the severe hardship being endured by affected communities.

A compassionate and responsible Government will ensure, that no contract — federal or state, however large, however politically connected — is awarded and executed without complying with the environmental safeguards that our laws provide to protect and preserve the welfare and well-being of our people.

Things are about to get real scary.

I got a WhatsApp message about a hotel reservation I made on https://t.co/OdeYaFmoQ3. They have my correct hotel name, correct dates, correct amount, everything. They ask me to confirm my CC details, without which they'll cancel my res.

Your friend just got caught in one of Nigeria's most common and dangerous traps.
It's called the "Accidental Transfer Scam".
And it has ruined lives.

Here's exactly how it works. 🧵

“Good morning Nigerians. I got here by 6 am, and there’s no bus. I actually thought this change was permanent. There’s only one bus here.”
