A major reason for the incompetence you see in our waste managemen is a cronysim and corruption.
It is an open secret that psps are controlled by party leaders and those close to authority and because of greed and a polical fiefdom, the entire state has been plunged into chaos just to satisfy a few party lords.
This stranglehold is unacceptable and it is the first thing we must break to give way to an open, efficient and effective system with impeccable service delivery for everyone.
Our policies will always focus on the impact on quality of life as opposed to rent seeking like the APC.
It is time for a better Lagos #Ourlagos
Gbadegbo Rhodes-Vivour actually went to school to study for what he always thought that his beloved city-state needed.
I rate that intentionality a lot.
If not for the Bravery and Humanity displayed, An innocent young man would've lost his life because of the incompetence of this APC led Lagos State government and lack of proper planning towards flood management and avoidance
Lagos Deserves Better, We Deserve Better
#OurLagos
The flooding we are witnessing across Lagos is yet another reminder that waste management, stormwater drainage, and urban planning are inseparable. You cannot neglect one and expect the others to function effectively.
For over two decades, Lagosians have endured devastating floods while the APC government has offered little beyond excuses and reactive interventions.
Despite repeated promises, the city continues to flood year after year, with no comprehensive drainage strategy or innovative approach to building a climate-resilient Lagos.
Sadly, poorly regulated sand filling, unchecked development, the destruction of wetlands, and weak urban planning have displaced several vulnerable communities and exposed millions of residents to damaged homes, ruined vehicles, lost businesses, and reduced productivity.
Annoyingly, ordinary Lagosians continue to bear the cost of government failure.
Lagos deserves more than “continuity,” from a group of kleptocrats with fancy resume: It deserves leadership with the vision, competence, and political will to implement proactive, innovative, and sustainable solutions that make our city safer, more resilient, and more livable for everyone.

Lagos missed once, we are not missing again!
Gbadebo for Governor Of Lagos
Once flooding issues have been resolves as well as imputing this brilliant ideas
Dealing with flooding in Lagos requires a forward-thinking approach tied to public policy and town planning. We need to adopt sponge cities initiatives, proper waste management policy, and technology for early warnings, rapid response, and emergency protocols.

This is deeply troubling.
When those in power begin to use the courts to shrink the democratic space rather than expand it, every Nigerian should be concerned. Democracy only works when citizens have genuine choices, not when one party appears determined to run unopposed.
The APC should have enough confidence in its popularity (as it claims to have) to face opponents at the polls instead of weaponizing the judiciary against the opposition.
Nigerians deserves free, fair and genuinely competitive elections. And this continuous abuse of our institutions for partisan advantage will erode public trust and put our democracy at risk.
"It's not that Nigeria cannot work; it's just that governance is in the hands of w!ck£d, selfish, and greedy people. You don't expect a th!£f not to steål.
If we truly want to change Nigeria, get your PVC and let all of us come out to vote in 2027. The fact remains that it is difficult to rig an election when there is massive voter turnout."

GRV has been doing free monthly health cover with his own money for years but the people in government no longer invest in free health care for the poor masses especially now that medications are very expensive
Empathy is one important thing most politicians lack but GRV has it

In 2008, I published my thesis titled Traditional Revolution: Formalizing the Informal, examined the role of waste pickers and scavengers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, and how they could be integrated into a modern waste management system rather than treated as a nuisance.
The paper argued that waste pickers form the foundation of an informal recycling network that already performs an important public service. And Instead of leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and exclusion, I proposed a framework that formalizes their activities, creates economic opportunities, improves collection efficiency, and reduces the burden on government.
More than a decade later, the same principles remain relevant. Sustainable solutions require planning, inclusion, and execution, not endless excuses.
Sadly, the environmental mess confronting our state is the result of policy failures and poor implementation. It is also the consequence of poor imagination and a lack of leadership.
