Someone reached out to me yesterday to share his experience with these same police officers. They assaulted him and forced him to transfer ₦100,000 from his savings.

The WhatsApp chat attached is a conversation between him and his lawyer, showing everything that happened.

Please take a moment to go through it, amplify this, and tag the right authorities. This can’t keep happening. He deserves justice.

@badboykhaleed is the person who reached out to me. If you have any advice on how he can handle this, please share it here or reach out to him directly.

This is as much as I can do for now, but together our voices will be heard ✊🏿

I really hope this video goes viral and the Nigeria Police Force sees this and does something about it.

This happened in Abulado, Lagos. Me and my guy @ehispascal were on a bike when four officers stopped us. We came down peacefully, no issues at all. One officer was talking to me, another to my guy. Everything was calm. They were asking questions and we answered calmly because we had nothing to hide.

They asked me to open my phone, and I didn’t hesitate because I didn’t want any problem. Suddenly, out of nowhere, one man came from behind and slapped me. Even the officer checking my phone was shocked and asked what just happened.

At that moment, I didn’t even know he was a police officer because he wasn’t in uniform. Out of anger, I reacted and slapped him back and even tried to confront him. That’s when the others held me and told me he was an officer. That’s when I realized everything was already planned.

Next thing, all of them started beating us. It was bad. My guy’s face even got swollen. They then threatened to take us to the station. I told them no problem, let’s go, but the officer who slapped me must come along too.

I told them when we get to the station, they would know who my father is. They kept asking for his name, but I refused and said they would find out at the station.

That’s when they got scared. Instead of taking us to the station, they drove us to a bridge, dropped us there, and told us to go.

Recommended reading. Is AI a threat or an ally to humans at the workplace? What do you think?

[Mr Honorable @iconic_macho]

ANALYZING THE PURPORTED HUMAN JOB APOCALYPSE

Question: Will AI make humans obsolete and dispensable in the workplace?

Me: Yes and No.

Let me explain.

Background
With the rate at which Agentic AI Models are being deployed in workplaces across the globe, there is an increase in the number of people who believe that a labour cataclysm – the situation where algorithms replace architects, chatbots replace customer service agents, and sophisticated models make creative professionals become useless – is imminent.

This apocalyptic vision, however, is wide off the mark. For starters, it ignores the fact that, throughout history, humans have shown that we are hot-wired with a "resilience gene" that has seen us not only remain relevant, but also thrive during the various technological/historical epochs – stone age, industrial revolution, electricity discovery, inventions of the automobile, airplane, and computer, to name but a few.

Secondly, this doom and gloom forecast disregards the fact that all AI models have guardrails and "kill switches" that prevents them going rogue or initiating actions that could pose existential threat to humans.

HUMANS ARE IRREPLACEABLE

The hard truth regarding the ongoing AI driven workplace revolution is captured perfectly in a sentiment that's currently echoing through boardrooms and staff rooms alike:

"AI IS NOT going to take your job. A human who knows how to use AI to do your job in half the time will take your job."

Put differently, the threat facing the human race in the workplace of the future is not MAN versus MACHINE; it is rather HUMAN versus AUGMENTED HUMAN.

Having said that, I must point out that this should not be taken as a comforting reassurance for workers to maintain the status quo in their personal and professional development. Rather it is aimed at sounding a frantic alarm bell. With the warning being:

The future belongs to those who treat AI not as a competitor, but as a force multiplier, or an exoskeleton for the mind that can allow an individual perform the work of three.

THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF PRODUCTIVITY

In the past couple of years, we have witnessed the deployment of some highly advanced Agentic AI models by the major AI companies. Examples: Grok 4 by xAI, Claude Opus 4.5 by Anthropic, GPT‑5 by OpenAI, and Gemini Ultra by Google DeepMind. These are are all semi-autonomous AI, that can multi-task efficiently, and reason at a very advanced level.

The deployment of these Agentic Models has led to a paradigm shift in the labour force of today – with up to a 10 fold increase in productivity in some industries.

Now, here's the kicker: In the new economic landscape, fluency in the use of AI is no longer a niche skill; it is now the baseline requirement for staying competitive. If you refuse to adapt to these tools, you aren't just falling behind the curve; you are handing your career to someone who has already embraced it.

THE EDGE OF THE AUGMENTED WORKER

Here is what this paradigm shift (from traditional worker to AI augmented worker) looks like in practice across some key sectors.

A) Banking and Finance:
Gone are the days where bankers spend hours poring over endless spreadsheets. The modern financial battleground is defined by speed of insight and risk assessment.

The Scenario: Consider two compliance officers tasked with detecting money laundering patterns across thousands of transactions.

~ The Traditional Bank officer manually reviews flagged transactions, cross-referencing databases in a slow, linear process prone to fatigue and error.

~ On the other hand, the Augmented Officer utilizes AI-driven anomaly detection systems that scan millions of data points instantly, highlighting only the highest-risk cases with probabilistic scores; and with it filing a SARs (suspicious activity reports) to regulatory agencies.

[Gboyega Akosile @gboyegaakosile]

Dear Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour,

To start with, the Executive Order by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu emanates from the NHIA Act of 2022, which makes Social Health Insurance mandatory for all Nigerians. This means that Nigerians are expected to key into the social health insurance of the states they reside in.

2. The social health insurance plan of Lagos State has an ANNUAL premium of N15,000.00 only per individual and NOT MONTHLY as stated by you.

3. It is necessary to mention that for the informal sector who largely earn their income daily, the pay small small initiative is in existence to provide them the means of paying by installment while still getting access to the same care and services as those that pay annual premium.

4. Also, pertinent to mention that in full consideration of the fact that some residents may still not be able to pay the very affordable premium, the State Government in compliance with the Lagos State Health Scheme Law has allocated the equity fund for coverage of the vulnerable which has been provided since 2022 and indeed Mr. Governor is the first to make equity fund a first-line charge in Nigeria, since 2024. This year, the budget allocation has been tripled from 1billion to 3billion to provide even more funds to be able to cover the vulnerable.

5. While the challenge of Human Resources is incontrovertible and certainly not peculiar to Lagos State, several initiatives are being deployed to address this by Mr. Governor who has initiated the process of establishing a dedicated Lagos State University of Medicine and Health Sciences. This is to bridge the gaps in the doctors to patients ratios.

In the provision of the social health insurance, public private partnerships are pivotal and as such, services can be accessed from both public and private facilities and indeed there are more private facilities on the scheme than public as they typically offer about 60-70% of services in the State.

7. It should be noted that year on year, our budgetary allocations for health keep increasing and Mr. Sanwo-Olu’s administration’s efforts in health are noticeable in physical infrastructure such as the Mother and Child Care hospitals built in Ajah, Badagry and Alimosho. The ongoing New Massey Children’s hospital, which is at 80% completion stage, same with other facilities like the new psychiatric hospital in Ketu-Ereyun, Epe to mention a few. But on the part of Social Health Insurance, it is a health financing initiative that the Government has fully entrenched to be able to provide services to the people while also serving as a means to guarantee income to facilities, which they then utilize to improve the quality and accessibility to service delivery for Lagos Residents. To further show its commitment the State Govt is currently subsidizing the premiums for all public servants and their families as high as up to 75% of the premium cost.

The Health Insurance Fund called LASHEF is ring-fenced and utilized only for the purpose for which it was set up in accordance with the Law. Even pensioners are being covered for free with the approval of MG.

8. Finally, the annual individual premium of 15k covers a wide scope of services both primary and secondary, which is tailored to serve the health needs and address the disease burden of the State. There are testimonials of the positive and life-saving impact this scheme has had and continues to have with respect to all strata of society in Lagos State; including the vulnerable.

Thank you.
