To all of you who said good command of the local language of the people one wants to govern in a state does not matter.

One of your agenda merchants said I should tell you that you don’t have sense and something is fundamentally wrong with you.

EXCLUSIVE! See the 3D project visualization of the Ogun Deep Sea Port at completion.

Enjoy! And watch out for the Naval Base towards the end. 😉

I agree with you.

The "basics" they provide (and there's a lot of such "basics" like the trains,the bus parks like the one in Ọ̀ọ́jọ̀, Ìbàdàn; like the red and blue lines, like the Warri Itakpe rail, like the Olúmọ resort, like the new superhighways, like the 14 cancer centres, like CNG conversion centres) how do we use them?

There's a fundamental problem with the way Nigerian use public facilities. If you see any maintenance, check, it is heavily policed and manned. Take that away, you see abuse and with constant abuse comes wear and tear.

I know we all like to whip the Government. They actually do provide a lot of public furniture and infrastructure.

How do we use them?

It is fine to point to other nations but that's one finger. The rest is pointing right back at you.

A couple of days ago,a group of urchins were drinking and constituting nuisance and one of them threw a used sachet alcohol pack on the street.
So I asked him "Ṣé ojú ò ṣ'ọ̀nà fún ẹ ni?"

People just swept that place. He picked it grudgingly. Now where is the waste bin he could have put that? Nonexistent

Why?

We vandalized the hundreds of Dino bins (or skip bins) that @followlasg placed at "mustar points around markets, bustops and high traffic areas.

Homes were given wheeled bins, thousands of them.

The @followlasg kept replacing until they got tired while the civil servants started asking for bribes to give a house the wheeled bins.

As much as we want to compare government to government, inefficiencies to efficiencies, let's do some citizen retrospection and admit that the much they do, the animals in the zoo will put those to better use than Nigerians.

As for poor basic education, it is not the Government that's at fault in most states. I went to a public primary and secondary school.

In Lagos state I have seen the standards in their public schools.

It is also a factor of us as a people. Basic education is free in most states, how many actually work to take advantage of it?

Why do most of us who know how good Lagos (as an example) public education systems are still send our kids to private schools?

The most of the children in those schools come from the same dysfunctional households who don't care, don't want to care and would not blink and eye to burn down that school if they feel like it.

You don't want your children mixing with people who are only in school because it is free and not for. An appreciation of what education gives them. They don't follow rules, don't respect the facilities and certainly don't value the enormous resources that goes into teaching their wards.

Blame the government, we should. While doing that look at the mirror.

You may not like what you see but it will help you understand what your role is beyond criticism.

I stand with YAYI 💯

[Man of Letters. @Letter_to_Jack]

Important🚨: The public campaign for the February 6, 2027 Governorship election officially begins today.

My candidate for the Ogun State Governorship election is Senator Solomon Olamilekan “YAYI” of the APC @Sen_AdeolaYAYI.

Vox populi, vox Dei.

For equity and fairness, it is generally accepted across Ogun State that this is the turn of Ogun West. The people of Yewa/Awori have presented a candidate, and many of us from the other senatorial districts will support him.

Beyond the politics of zoning and fairness, YAYI is a candidate whose record is difficult to match. Project for project, achievement for achievement, empowerment for empowerment, his record in the 10th Senate puts him head and shoulders above anyone else in this gubernatorial race in my opinion.

I know political campaigns are two-dimensional: issues and agenda. Both are fair game in love and war. But remember, agenda can cut both ways, and nobody has a monopoly on it.

I will make my case, support my candidate and let the people decide.

May the best man win. May Ogun State succeed.

@egi_nupe No time

[Ibrahim Onaara @Ebrahimybrown]

@wandyvirus Hmmmm

[Ibrahim Onaara @Ebrahimybrown]

@Homeboy41080087 @Addeeney @egi_nupe I agree with you.

And to the end of time, governments will keep changing while the problems persist if we, the people, do not accept our responsibility and also hold the government accountable for theirs.

50/50, no cheating. 😎

[Ibrahim Onaara @Ebrahimybrown]

@Addeeney @egi_nupe If you say it is the government, then we are not ready as a people to move Nigeria in the right direction.

Each and every one of us must play our part and take responsibility. Otherwise, all we will do till the end of time is complain.

[Ibrahim Onaara @Ebrahimybrown]

@egi_nupe Don't mind him. People like him forget that government is made up of individuals. These individuals actions & decisions shape the very systems we complain about.

If those individuals within the system are ready to make it work, we won't be in this situation.

[Ibrahim Onaara @Ebrahimybrown]

@HeIsJayjam We are already in trouble NOT “Are we in trouble?”

If the agencies in charge fail to ensure those involved are convicted, fake drugs, food, beverages, and other products will continue to circulate.

We need drastic measures to tackle this menace.

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

It is high time the Federal Government declared a state of emergency on fake and substandard products in Nigeria. A group of greedy, organised criminals cannot keep poisoning this country while they smile to the bank. What is happening in our markets is not petty trading. It is organised economic and public-health sabotage. It should be treated with the seriousness we reserve for terrorism, because the outcome is the same: Nigerians are being killed slowly, quietly, and profitably.

NAFDAC has said cosmetics, food and beverages now account for over 50% of the counterfeit products it seizes. Pharmaceuticals remain a major share. That means the things we put on our skin, put in our children’s mouths, and swallow when we are sick are the most faked categories.
In February 2025, coordinated raids on the big open drug markets in Idumota, Onitsha and Aba sealed more than 11,000 shops and evacuated 138 truckloads of suspected fake, expired, banned and unregistered medicines valued at over ₦1 trillion. Markets that supply a huge share of medicines used across Nigeria.

In February 2026, NAFDAC uncovered what it called a “death warehouse” at Lagos Trade Fair: over 10 million doses of fake cerebral malaria injections, antibiotics and banned Analgin, worth about ₦3 billion, products officials said could have killed three million Nigerians if they reached the streets. Days later, another ₦3 billion haul of banned and toxic cosmetics came from the same complex.

Customs has been intercepting containers of expired drugs and products carrying fake NAFDAC labels; one Apapa seizure alone was valued at ₦53.4 billion. Fake malaria drugs worth ₦1.2 billion have been found declared as “spare parts.” Counterfeiters now use online ordering and groupage cargo to stay one step ahead.
Official estimates put substandard and falsified medicines at around 13–17%. Pharmacists and some market studies put the figure far higher in open markets; 30% and above, and in some assessments over 50%. Even bottled water is being refilled and resealed. Imported auto spare parts fail SON standards at rates reported as high as 95%.

People die from malaria that “treatment” never treated, from antibiotics that never fought infection, from cosmetics loaded with mercury and steroids, from electrical and auto parts that fail when lives depend on them.

Confidence in every product collapses. When citizens cannot trust medicine, food or water, the social contract itself is damaged. NAFDAC has already described the trend as a threat to public health and national security. That language is not accidental. Seizures without enough prosecutions and convictions only recycle the problem.

Criminals calculate that the profit is worth the risk.
A state of emergency here does not mean empty speeches. Treating large-scale manufacture, importation and distribution of life-threatening fakes as organised crime against the civilian population with the intelligence, inter-agency and prosecutorial weight that implies.

Properly funding and coordinating NAFDAC, SON, Customs, FCCPC and the police so raids are followed by convictions, not just bonfires. Closing or strictly converting the worst open drug markets into coordinated, traceable wholesale systems.

Public naming of syndicates and the ports, warehouses and markets that keep feeding them.
We cannot continue like this. A nation that cannot protect what its people eat, drink and use for treatment is not merely facing a regulatory failure. It is facing a slow-motion assault on its own population. The Federal Government should treat it as such.
