Large parts of the Netherlands are below sea level, yet they don’t flood every time it rains because people don’t block their drainage systems with rubbish.
Lagos has a people living in Lagos problem. Regardless of the tribe, Lagosians are collectively dirty people.

Is it possible you work with developers to create an app for Igbo teaching if you don't already have one. I know many diaspora parents will really key into it. Jisie Ike nne
Something is fundamentally broken with how young boys are growing up right now. It's not discussed enough.
Earlier this year, I visited an Amala restaurant. You know those ones where you stand across a transparent glass and make your orders. Three young boys stood beside me. The oldest couldn't have been more than 18. Baggy trousers, oversized crop tops, and flashing their phones for everyone to see.
Within seconds, they started shouting at the girls serving to attend to them. One of the girls politely told them to be patient. That there were other people ahead of them. They felt offended.
Next thing I heard: "Ogun kee your papa. How much be your salary sef? I dey blow your whole salary one night for Martell inside club."
I was stunned. Even Dangote wouldn't be that proud. Thankfully, the older men in the restaurant made them apologise. But the damage was done. The disrespect and humiliation of that young girl.
Just last week, I had a conversation with a friend about this. We both agreed: things are getting out of hand. My biggest concern is parenting. Many of the kids that will be raised in the next 15 to 20 years might just lack any form of values.
Already, there is a drug abuse pandemic among young boys that isn't talked about enough. Finding young people between 17 and 24 who are not into drugs is like passing a thread through a needle in the dark. Codeine, trams, loud, molly... They're mixing substances like it's a lab experiment.
Money fa? Their mindset is completely warped. You see 15-year-old boys talking about buying a Benz. And some actually do. How do they get the money? That's a gist for another day jare. But they're not interested in school, work, or anything requiring patience or hard work. They just want to earn illegally and live lavishly.
Should we talk about their attitude to life? Very uncouth. Very reckless. You can even see them here on X. Disrespecting people, mocking people with honest jobs. Celebrating scammers as role models. No respect for anything except money and flex.
Now tell me. What kind of kids will these boys raise? What kind of fathers will they become?
Kids exposed to drugs from birth. Kids who grow up thinking "pressing" is the only way. Kids who will never understand delayed gratification, sacrifice, or integrity.
This is not just about one generation. Broken boys raise broken children. And those children raise even more broken children.
The scary part? Many of these boys have parents who are alive and well. But those parents are either too busy, too ignorant, or too afraid to discipline them. Some are even enablers. "My son is hustling." "At least he's not begging."
No sir/ma. That's not all that matters.
Because when your son disrespects a girl trying to earn honestly, that matters. When your son is popping pills at 17, that matters. When he's scamming people and buying bottles with the money, that matters.
We are raising a generation of boys who don't know how to earn respect. They only know how to demand it. Boys who don't know how to build. They only know how to take.
A tree that grows crooked from the root will never stand straight, no matter how much you water it.

We flagged off the rehabilitation of the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road, a 67.64km road that will be upgraded to a 2-lane asphaltic concrete carriageway with streetlights in the built-up areas and drainages on both sides. The contract will last for twelve (12) months.
The project is divided into three sections and will be handled by reputable construction companies.
This effort is part of the fulfilment of our social contract with Ndị Abia. By improving these vital roads, we are opening up new vistas of economic opportunities and markets for our farmers and traders. We are also reducing the travel time and cost for our commuters and travellers. It will also bring urban and rural communities closer and our local economy will thrive with increased connectivity.
This is more than a government project; it is a community journey. We urge everyone to embrace this development, support the contractors, and continue to fulfil civic duties like tax payments. Your contribution is crucial for the ongoing progress of Abia State.
No, Japa love is not scam.
The men know that the ill treatment women tolerate from them in Nigeria have consequences abroad. Men that treat their women right have nothing to be scared of.
The sacrifice, at this time in our nation, should be borne by the leaders. The increment should be reversed immediately, and the savings should be devoted to fixing education, healthcare and poverty alleviation especially in the remote rural areas. -PO

My generation and above have routinely shown that our concern for the youth hardly goes beyond their fouling our rarefied airs- garden parties, luxury cars and other bucolic delusions.
I’ll advise them to leave well alone.
Their anger is justified; we have left them with nothing
