In 1981 I had the rare privilege like many others in my time to transit from a private school to a public school… in Lagos. Something unthinkable today.

The then governor, Late Lateef Kayode Jakande had then introduced free education to Lagosians.

A move that brought relief to many parents, who gladly moved their wards from private schools to public (Govt funded) schools.

The State Primary School Adeniyi Jones, like many other public schools at that time, contributed to the basic educational needs of the people.

Then came the military in 1983. And the rest is history today.
Firstly, this high performing school was suddenly demolished and the land occupied by some highly placed persons… possibly linked to the military. All pupils were relocated to Adekunle Village - new location.

We were helpless & voiceless, but not surprised. It was the military era, a period where men in uniforms decreed and dictated as they wanted.
You will understand d excitements in 1999 when we transited to CIVIL RULE. This was the same period I graduated as a medical doctor.

Since 1999, Lagos has had 4 diff democratically selected governors, and we can conclude that basic education is not a priority in the state.
Institutions that produced us, CANNOT produce our children… total decay!

Seeing the deplorable state of the school, we the Alumni came together to rescue the rapidly decaying infrastructure. Our goal was to give the pupils a conducive and befitting environment to learn. It was a tough task, but we were committed to our calling.

We provided
1. uninterrupted solar powered inverters to the school,
2. uninterrupted high speed Internet to facilitate digital learning
3. Portable drinking water
4. Improved sanitary conditions
5. Fully equipped Computer room
6. Lawn mowers
7. Educational materials
8. Recreational and sporting equipment
9. Annual support for interhouse sport events

List is endless!!

The Alumni set of ‘84 was looking to commence groundbreaking project in Jan 2024 to commemorate our 40th year reunion and double down on our individual and collective investments in d school. Our goal was 2 make Adeniyi Jones pry school a model template for public schools in Lagos. Through community partnerships.

You will understand our frustration when we learnt overnight that this school, again has been demolished and the land taken over by Omo Oniles….. obviously for private gains.

The perpetrators waited for the school Xmas break to carry out their evil deeds.

I am least concerned about who carted away all the inverters and other education and recreational equipment in the demolished school, but more about the loud and clear message being passed by the @lasgeducation @followlasg @jidesanwoolu

I am concerned that in 2023/24, rather than increase capacity and focus on quality education for all, the wickedness and greed of men, supersedes reasoning and logical thinking, who will rather tear down for selfish reason than build for our collective gains.

I humbly call on the Lagos state governor HE Babajide Sanwoolu @jidesanwoolu to immediately put a stop work order to the perpetrators of this dastardly act, and commence the erection of a world class primary school for the already impoverished Lagosians/ Nigerians in that same location where young pupils have again been displaced.
Today, we are not helpless, and we are not voiceless.

This school is just 3km from the Lagos state secretariat, and should be a centre of excellence. Not a proceed of injustice, greed and covetousness.

A big shoutout to this decent Nigerian Customs officer - Mr Eli Molta, at the Muritala Mohammed Int’l Airport, Ikeja.
Courteous, professional and very supportive.
Obviously, I was expecting extortion at the border entry point, hence the recording.
This gentleman not only guided me on how to pay my duty on imported PS5, he provided internet and mailed by receipt to me without expecting anything in return. Keep it up bro.

As a result of listening to you and the wider football community over recent days we are withdrawing from the proposed Super League.

We made a mistake, and we apologise for it.

Essence is easily my best track on @wizkidayo MIL album. A jam and half.

The entire album has a grown and sexy vibe to it.

Am still puzzled at how Pa. Lateef Jakande achieved all he did in Lagos State, within 4 years? May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Thanks to technology,data and our efficient staff at TDA Fashion, we have successfully reduced the average customer-engagement timeframe to circa 10minutes, without compromising the customer’s wants/needs.

The aim is to reduce it to 7mins

NEXT - Reduce sewing time to 2hrs 🤞

Hello @TravelstartNG , I called your customer care for travel voucher/refund issue and was made to stay on the phone for over one hour with no resolution to my issue. The customer care agent just left me on hold .

I need my issue resolved.

Religion is a trap. Some of the most heinous crimes have been committed under the cloak of religion- slavery, muslim extremists, honor killing, racism.
God is Love. Find God outside of doctrines and rituals.

[Oluwafisayomi @Birdorworm_]

The decadence in Nigeria is not just evident in its government but also in unions that ought to fight for the common man. I remember when I thought Adams Oshiomole was a man of integrity.
Everyone with power acts the same. They suddenly forget the values they use to preach.

Do you text or glance at your screen while driving? Let this be an eye opener. I hope we all make a conscious effort to be more responsible.

If you owe money and can't meet payment at the time agreed upon, carry the lender along. Don't just blank out...
