[Robinho @deolarepublic]

To the Igbo folks on my TL, why?

There is something that has been bothering me for a long time, and I believe it is time to speak about it openly and honestly.

For years, many Nigerians have heard the phrase "Lagos is no man's land" propagating from red cap wearing profiles. Every election cycle, every major political disagreement, every ethnic controversy seems to bring this conversation back again.

My question is simple, why?

Why is it considered wise to repeatedly make divisive statements that many of your hosts perceive as dismissive of their history, identity, and attachment to a place they call home?

Nobody disputes the fact that Lagos has benefited from the hard work, investments, creativity, and enterprise of people from every corner of Nigeria. The Igbo community, in particular, has contributed immensely to the growth and prosperity of Lagos. That contribution deserves recognition and respect.

But contribution and ownership are not the same thing. When people open their cities, communities, and opportunities to you, should the response be rhetoric that unsettles them?

This is not a Lagos-only conversation.

We saw similar tensions emerge in South Africa. Many of us mocked South Africans when controversies arose over traditional authority structures and claims of influence by immigrant communities. We called them backward. We called them xenophobic. We called them ignorant.

But let us ask ourselves honestly, was it wise to provoke people in ways that fed their fears and insecurities? Was it wise to install an Igbo king in KuGompo?

Whether those fears were justified or not, did confrontation solve anything?

Now we are back here again because of another controversial statement. Another round of anger. Another round of ethnic arguments. Another round of Nigerians attacking each other.

And I find myself asking, when will this end? When will the voices that constantly provoke and antagonize learn that coexistence requires sensitivity?

When will the reasonable and thoughtful members of the community begin to challenge the loud and arrogant voices that keep dragging everyone into unnecessary conflict? When will actual well meaning Igbos start to call out their divisive brothers?

Before anyone misunderstands me, let me be clear. No tribe is entirely good. No tribe is entirely bad. Every ethnic group has its saints and its troublemakers.

But when the loudest voices are also the most provocative, they eventually become the face outsiders see. Fair or unfair, perception becomes reality. That is why silence from the sensible majority is dangerous.

If the loudest people continually make statements that create resentment, and nobody within the community pushes back, outsiders begin to assume those voices represent everyone.

Nigeria already has enough problems. Our economy is struggling. Our young people are leaving. Our institutions are weak.

The last thing we need is another generation growing up convinced that they should view their fellow Nigerians through the lens of ethnic suspicion.

The truth is that millions of Igbo people and millions of Yoruba people live, work, build businesses, raise families, and support each other every day without conflict. That reality should be strengthened, not undermined.

So I ask this not in anger but in genuine concern:

Can we stop saying things that unnecessarily provoke our hosts wherever we go? Can we stop treating every disagreement as a contest for dominance? Can we learn that respect is not weakness, and sensitivity is not surrender?

Because in the end, no community wins when mutual trust is destroyed.

We all lose.

And Nigeria loses most of all. I'm tired.

Very intellectually stimulating presentation by H.E Babtunde Fashola @tundefashola @theplatformng yesterday.

[Damilola Sonayon James @JamesSonayon]

To the glory of God, I humbly acknowledge my nomination as the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.

Today is a reminder of the endless possibilities that have defined our Lagos. It is my hope that my story continues to serve as a reminder that there is no ceiling to our greatness.

As a woman of faith, I have no doubt that God is the architect of our lives, and for this reason, I thank God for His benevolence and grace, which continue to order my steps along this journey.

I convey my deepest gratitude to our president, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose exemplary leadership has deepened democratic values in our country and under whose leadership our nation is now on a stronger economic footing. My sincere appreciation to the first lady, Her Excellency Sen. Oluremi Tinubu for her encouragement and support.

I thank our governor, His Excellency Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, and Her Excellency Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; the candidate of our party, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat; his wife, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat; all the leaders, elders, and great men and women of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State led by our chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi; and all the executives and party structure from the state to the ward level.

I extend my profound appreciation to the leadership of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), for considering me worthy of this responsibility. I am especially grateful to the leadership of the Governance Advisory Council led by our respected and revered GAC leader, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, for their collective wisdom, which has continued to serve as an anchor for our party in Lagos State.

I appreciate our traditional rulers, community leaders, grassroots mobilisers, women and youth leaders, and countless supporters across the state.

I extend my deepest gratitude to the people of Badagry and especially Badagry West, whom I have previously had the privilege to serve. Their encouragement has remained a constant source of inspiration, strength, and faith.

This moment belongs to all of us, especially our young people, women, and girls. I am grateful for your outpour of support and look forward to meeting you all in the coming days.

It is a tremendous honour to fly the flag of our great party as deputy governorship candidate to our candidate, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat. Together, we shall work to consolidate the model of progressive governance that has distinguished Lagos as a centre of excellence and example to other subnationals.

To every Lagosian, I thank you all. May God bless the people and government of Lagos State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Much of what Hamzat needs to do in Lagos is create a high degree of sanity . We are used to big projects in Lagos and it will continue. In fact , I don’t doubt that the new administration may oversee the building of the Lekki international airport and the fourth mainland bridge. It won’t really be much of a surprise like bringing sanity to Lagos state . Sanity in the environment from cleaner streets, to proper waste management to protection of the environment by planting and sustaining trees, and strict enforcement of decent public behavior. We want to see people who urinate on the road imprisoned, people who throw dirt on the road from their cars should be penalized and so on . These are even more herculean tasks than 4th mainland bridge

The Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway will effectively create an inland commercial corridor running parallel to the coastal economies and border belt of West Africa.

Sokoto State should immediately begin planning and developing an inland port and logistics hub around this emerging axis. The opportunities are enormous.

Beyond being a road project, this corridor could reposition Sokoto as:

-Amajor freight and warehousing hub

- A gateway for Sahel and West African trade

- An agro-processing and export centre

- A customs and container consolidation point

a strategic node linking Nigeria to inland
ECOWAS markets
If properly integrated with rail, dry ports, industrial parks and border trade infrastructure, the Sokoto-Badagry axis could fundamentally reshape commerce, logistics and urban growth across northern Nigeria and the wider West African hinterland.

After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.

I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.

I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.

Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.

There are people crying in silence right now in rooms we’ll never see. They know something is wrong, but they can’t afford to do anything about it.

We exist because we intend to reach the people in those rooms. But we can’t do it alone.
