There has been a serious gridlock in the past 5 days along the Benin–Agbor–Onitsha corridor.
Nigerians who are travelling by road along Benin, Agbor, and Onitsha have been stuck on the road for 5 days.
No word from the Ministry of transportation
No word from the governors of the states.
This is such a critical route and there is stil no coordinated emergency response to clear the gridlock.
Now citizens are buying machetes to clear bush path themselves to create a makeshift road.
Why is this not making the news?
“We won’t beg the government again. When the election comes, they will understand our stand then.”
-Travellers stranded as roads in Ekiti State collapse.
Today, I must bring to the attention of all Nigerians an alarming act of political intimidation. As the NDC candidate for Surulere 1, alongside Mr. Peter Obi and other NDC supporters, I was dismayed to see over 50 of my big campaign banners removed by the APC-led Lagos State Signage LASAA. This was carried in their truck with security escorts.These banners, placed in public spaces, were taken down while APC banners remained intact.
Their spokesperson of the LASAA told me that the poles were lagos government property and it has been assigned to “ Outdoor Practitioners”
They claim to take it Alausa, only for me to discover this evening that my banners are hidden somewhere in the surulere Local Government Area in onilegogoro
I ask: what right does the signage agency have to silence us during this crucial election season? INEC has lifted all bans to ensure free campaigning, and we will not accept this bullying. Meanwhile, Barakat,s banner is still intact , Fuad,s posters are all over the place
I call on all Nigerians to see what the APC government is doing to us and to question why they fear a fair contest.
I also call on the national leadership of the NDC to investigate this intimidation and demand that APC stop this bullying of opposition parties.
These are my banners they carried
Meanwhile these “Signage abusers of office left all the APC banners alone
Signed,
Dr. Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo
NDC, House of Reps, Surulere 1.
I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.
I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.
This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.
Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.
A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.
A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
Once he becomes President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and fix all the internal road networks, I don’t want to hear “he did not construct new roads ooo”.
I just say make warn you children of perdition down.
Ire o✌🏾
Two years ago, Peter Obi listed all the major roads in the six regions of Nigeria which required urgent attention.
At the time when PO made this tweet, the Edo-Agbor expressway had not deteriorated this badly.
In fact, PO acknowledged that the budget for the Ministry of Finance in 2024, would probably not have been enough to fix these roads.
Some of these roads are now death traps and unmotorable. People are spending days on the road to commute to their destinations.
Edo and Delta state governments are controlled by APC, but instead of revamping their roads, they are focused on delivering their states for Tinubu in 2027.
“I don’t even know the village we are in; there is no network at all.”

Dear Nigerians,
Stop everything & listen to this. Because new born babies in Singapore will receive:
* A baby gift of S$10,000.
* A medicine grant of S$5,000.
* A S$5000 child development initial grant.
* S$5000 dollar-for-dollar xtra matching grant
THAT’S NOT ALL !!!
* Every Singaporean child will continue to get annual credits of S$2000 from age 1-16.
* At 17, every Singaporean child will get an additional S$10,000 deposited into their post-secondary school education account.
In total, every child will receive nearly S$70,000 ($55,000) as they grow up. Families with more children will receive more support.
The Singaporean government is giving nearly ₦77 million in total direct financial support to every Singaporean child from birth to age 17.
NOTE: Singapore is not an oil-producing country. It has zero domestic crude oil reserves & does not extract petroleum from the ground.
Singapore imports its oil 100%.
Thanks to Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore is one of the four Asian Tigers. It shares this title with Hong Kong, South Korea, & Taiwan.
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong delivered this powerful speech yesterday to mark Singapore's National Day Rally 2026. He announced major updates on public housing, family support, & digital safeguards for Singaporean youths.
This is how a leader addresses his people. As a Nigerian, can you see what leadership looks like? WHAT DOES NIGERIA DO FOR YOU?
Peter Obi sat down here and listed all the bad roads in Nigeria. Seems, he's got a map of the country in his head.
No wonder he was advocating for the rehabilitation of existing roads instead of the coastal road.
And we actually called him a mad man for that 😥
And now, look at what's happening in Edo State.

@lollypeezle What he would get from selling that scrap metal is going to be far less that the daily wages of a labourer.
Are there no construction sites where he can earn 10k daily?
Fatima Chinwendu Abegunde is fluent in Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. She learnt them all in the North.
In their family, the children all have names that Northerners bear, reflecting the level of acculturation to the Northern culture. Like a number of women from Imo State, she is married to a Yoruba man.
Kindly have a listen.
Be accountable for once @PoliceNG, we will not let this matter slide.
A car belonging to one @RbrnJerry was stolen but later recovered by the police, the owner identified the car after the recovery and was requested to pay a particular sum of money which he paid.
Only at the time which he was supposed to take possession of the car, he was informed that the car had been sold by some police men right in the police station.
This matter deserves the attention it needs, we must not keep quiet at the face of this injustice.
Remember, today may be Mr. Oguji Jeremiah Onyebuchi, tomorrow it may be you or me.
Let's help a brother to get justice, this must not be allowed.
Repost, quote and tag the necessary authorities until justice is served.

@darasoba The day you made that post about creating an AI powered Bible presentation app was the day I followed you so I could get updates.
The amount of growth you have had in just one year is astounding and outstanding.

MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
