[Elizabeth Gaskell stan account @Ms_Ojo]

We've become so desensitised to scandals under APC, scandals that would have had people calling for GEJ's head.

APC has normalised and institutionalised corruption to the point where it is no longer treated as an outrage.

[Eben @EbenezarWikina]

NYSC was designed in the 1970s for “unity” - that’s why people are posted to other states

No longer feasible today at all

All of a sudden, you people want to make it Unemployment intervention because a government has failed to trigger industrial and private sector growth 🤣

[Aspiring Nepo Baby @Marys_Vault]

It is deeply frustrating that the conclusion after deliberation is to extend NYSC.
Years of neglect in foundational education cannot be fixed by adding 3weeks to NYSC. Invest in schools and teachers.
This isn't a reform; it is avoiding responsibility.

cannot manage flooding

@nansbello Nahh angle for the side of the bowl 😅
Liquid hitting ceramic is a lot quieter than liquid hitting other liquid.

@nansbello You have to angle your lower body.

Mr. Wahab,

Impact is felt, not explained in 1,578 words.

Your plastic policy has failed.

Your environmental policy, if one truly exists, has been ineffective.

Your waste management policy has been an unmitigated disaster.

The only area where you have consistently delivered is the demolition of the hard earned properties and livelihoods of ordinary citizens.

Not to mention your Bigotry and Gaslighting.

You have lost the moral authority to remain in office.

You should resign.

Today.

[Biological Nonbinary @theflowerboi__]

It’s so wild because the year before election is supposed to be the sweetest ever. Everyone trying to get re-elected suppose dey give better eye service. Instead it’s never ever been this bad.

[Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour @GRVlagos]

Your Excellency, unsurprisingly, this statement is an admission of failure, not a solution.

Lagosians do not need periodic emergency evacuations of mountains of refuse. What they need is a functional waste management system that prevents waste from accumulating in the first place.

For years, residents have endured overflowing dumps, uncollected refuse, blocked drainage channels, and worsening environmental conditions despite billions of naira allocated to environmental management.

The fact that you now have to “direct an immediate scale-up” after waste has already overwhelmed communities is an utter failure of leadership.

Indeed, Lagos generates over 13,000 tonnes of waste daily today, just as it did yesterday, last month, and last year. This is not a surprise. It is a known reality that should be planned for through efficient collection, waste sorting, recycling infrastructure, transfer stations, waste-to-energy investments, and transparent performance management of operators.

Like your commissioner, you cannot continue to shift responsibility to citizens to “bag their waste properly” when many communities are left without reliable and affordable waste collection services. Rightly, Citizens have a responsibility to dispose of waste properly, but government has an even greater responsibility to provide the infrastructure and systems that make proper disposal possible.

Lagos cannot continue operating reactive clean-up exercises and public relations statements whenever refuse piles become impossible to ignore.

Lagos deserves a modern, accountable, and sustainable waste management system: one that measures success not by the number of trucks deployed after a crisis, but by the absence of the crisis itself.

Again, Your Excellency, after seven years in office, why is Lagos still battling a problem that should have been solved through competent planning, execution, and oversight?

I guess the answer is obvious: if e didn’t dey, e didn’t dey.

Young women vaccinated against HPV now have close to zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before 30.

Not fewer symptoms. Not better treatment.

Close to zero risk of death.

That is an incredible and extraordinary public health achievement.🥰

[Oluchi @oluchi_bn]

@fluffyakaraa Yes, the vaccine was added to our schedule some time ago.

[Oluchi @oluchi_bn]

If you have a guardian aged 9-13 years, the HPV vaccine that prevents cervical cancer is available for free on the Nigerian government immunisation schedule. PLEASE don't listen to the naysayers. It is a literal lifesaver.

[Oluchi @oluchi_bn]

The money spent to pay for the vaccine is so much less than whatever will be spent to treat cervical cancer. It is a LITERAL lifesaver. Cervical cancer is a TERRIBLE disease and the fact that we have the chance to eradicate it is amazingggg.

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine https://t.co/JM73OorKHT

[Oluchi @oluchi_bn]

If you're outside the age range, please make the effort to pay for the vaccine for yourself. I know @msichoicesng has it but I'm not sure of the current price. Please if anyone knows any other centres, comment below.

Tinubu is seeking reelection after failing to meet ALL the targets and promises he made 3 years ago.

[Nans @nansbello]

You people see the way these people are moving for the 2027 elections. The prisoners from Ethiopia, the “stranded Nigerians” from Niger. They are gathering more voters for themselves. And you, mumu mumu, are saying “my vote doesn’t count” and refusing to go get your PVC?

[Zikoko Citizen @ZikokoCitizen]

Nigeria spent years encouraging households to switch to cleaner cooking fuels.

Now, many families are being priced right back into charcoal, firewood, and the evergreen Abacha stoves.

How did we get here?
