Enough time has passed and I think we need to talk about this.

Sometime this week, elites gathered at Eko Hotel for a celebration, but just outside that very same venue (at night), you’ll see a plethora of young, vibrant and able-bodied young men, many in my age group, running after exotic cars and pseudo big men hoping that someone will ‘bless them’. This is the everyday reality of young men in Lagos today. There is little to no gratification for honest work anymore and the only hope people now have is sycophancy, illegal dealings, or turning to social media to chase clout. This is what puts food on the table. Meanwhile we are told the state has recorded “tremendous growth”. So where exactly is this growth? Someone point us to it?

The leaders we elect determine the outcome of our future.

I turned 32 last week, the age many of our leaders were already established by. I've lived in Lagos all my life, I'm a Lagosian, and there is nothing to be happy about in the current state of things. I don’t know why we are all pretending. Men in their 30s cannot afford their own rent, and the government is encouraging young workers to be prudent and live with their parents until things look up. Grown men in their 30s!

I have witnessed, and lived through four different governors, with a fifth incoming, yet all of them have been led by one single ideology - one man’s vision. The Lagos we know today can be credited to that vision, and I’m not talking about Lekki, the coastal road or the Island. There are 20 local governments in Lagos. If you’re reading this from any of these areas, step outside and answer this question honestly - are you happy with the way the environment you’re in looks? Are you happy with what you see? Unfortunately for the leaders in Lagos, there is no previous administration to blame.

Depending on how you choose to look at it, things have only gotten worse. At one point in my life, I bought 25 litres of fuel for under ₦3,000. Today it's about ₦35,000, and with no steady electricity, I buy that twice a week just to run my generator. I can't imagine how millions of people who aren't earning enough have been affected. And yes, millions more Nigerians have been pushed into abject poverty in recent years.

The next time I celebrate my birthday on a weekend, I'll be 35. By then, I'll be a father, and a new administration will be halfway through its term. There is no glimmer of hope that things will get better in the next 4 years under the same government (judging by history) and I can’t help but wonder. If I can’t provide a better life for my family and kids, what will I tell them the reason is?

This is not a partisan post, but we need to start thinking about our future. Politicians will tell you what you want to hear, not what you deserve and until we are able to demand better, we will keep getting empty promises. The life we live now is not the life we deserve, and with all the resources we have, we truly deserve better.

I can’t tell you who to vote for, but don’t expect change if you’re voting for continuation.

Graceland International School, PortHarcourt just informed me that Agbo Adoga qualified to represent Nigeria in international Maths Olympiad in China.

Nigerian Ministry of Education said they don’t have money to sponsor anybody.

So he will not attend.

Nigeria lost again!

Stop overthinking. If it's God's will, it'll happen and nothing will stop it. If it's not, he has a better plan. Have peace in knowing that.

We need leaders who show compassion and are willing to sacrifice for common progress and development. Such compassionate and frugal leaders are critical in our journey to the New Nigeria. -PO
