I want to say a big thank you to the organizers of The Platform Nigeria's Gen Z town hall yesterday. I also thank the young lagosians who sacrificed their public holiday to be there and the candidates who came and showed respect to our young Lagosians, the lifeblood of this city.
As I told the young people in the hall: you are the biggest part of Lagos today. You are Lagos and Lagos is you.
Every society is built on a social contract that should be sacred. The people work, contribute to society, pay taxes and are law-abiding, and government, on its part acts for the good of everyone. The question is: if a government does not keep its side of the bargain, what are you willing to do about it?
Positive change is possible, but it starts with you. As you evaluate alternatives, you should interrogate ideas and consider the capacity and courage of candidates to deliver. Examine track records. What have they done before? At what scale? Who can vouch for them?
Then come out for what you believe in.
Next week, we will release details of our manifesto: specifics that we commit to deliver, how we will deliver it, and a scorecard to hold us accountable.
Sign up at https://t.co/8bDML4HPOs to see it, and to volunteer and canvass. If every one of you brings five people, we will change Lagos.
As we travel across the state, our message is simple: it's time for a new way for Lagos.

I remember when I was working at Cosa Nostra (Obafemi Martins’ club) as a waiter.
That fateful morning, around 3–4 AM, CDQ came in with Skales and some of his guys. They bought drinks and mixers and started chilling and vibing.
At some point, the guys started spraying money 1k and 500 notes everywhere. I was just standing there watching because at Cosa, you dare not pick money. 😂 Cameras are everywhere and there are so many people monitoring you. If you’ve worked there before, you’ll understand me.
So I was just standing there while money was everywhere, until CDQ called me.
CDQ: “Iwo o sha owo ni? Abi your papa get bullion van for house?”
Me: “No Baba, them go sack me if I pick.”
CDQ: “Hiaaa, why?”
Then he called two girls he came in with and told them:
“Ba werey yen shaa wo yen.” 😂
Bro, those babes picked more than 150k for me that night.
As a waiter, I’ll never forget that day. And any day I get the opportunity to meet or speak to CDQ, I’ll tell him about this story.
That single act meant a lot to me. ❤️
CDQ ❤️🔥
