Today, as we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay2025 with the theme "For All Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment," we acknowledge the ongoing struggle for women's rights and the urgent need for equality across all spheres of life. #IWD2025
Mr. Bola Tinubu and his entire @OfficialAPCNg supporters should be ashamed of his administration, given the current death rate in Nigeria attributed to hunger and hardship.

How to address Nigerian judges who entertain fake TREASON charges against innocent citizens in Nigeria. #FearlessInOctober#RevolutionNow https://t.co/t7lRmF40NX
Dear Ikorodu Indigenes,
I want to address the NONSENSE going on in Ikorodu SPECIFICALLY.
I am reliably informed that some traditional rulers and traditional religious authorities decided to desecrate their offices and abuse the good people of Ikorodu by going out to rain curses upon anyone who PROTESTS against HUNGER.
Ikorodu was known for many illustrious firsts in Nigeria. The first indigenous industrialist in Nigeria was an Ikorodu man. I know this, because he was my grandfather, S. O. Gbadamosi.
The first trunk A road in Nigeria was Ikorodu road, initiated by S. O. Gbadamosi, above, and built through the joint efforts of several Ikorodu and Ijebu stalwarts, as well as Ikorodu SCHOOLCHILDREN!
The first patent medicine produced in Nigeria was Alabukun powder, produced in Abeokuta by an Ikorodu man - "blessed" Jacob Odulate, one of whose daughters was to become the first woman SAN in Nigeria, and the other married to my great uncle.
The first bottled water factory in Nigeria was Ragolis Water, promoted by my late uncle, Rasheed Gbadamosi and others.
The biggest textile factory in Africa was Nichemtex, Ikorodu, invited in by late Oba Salaudeen Afolabi Oguntade Oyefusi, the immediate past Ayangburen of Ikorodu.
The largest industrial estate in Nigeria, though now moribund, was Odogunyan Industrial Estate, Ikorodu.
The first indigenous QUALIFIED Architect in Nigeria was H. O. Onafowokan, who helped design and build Ikorodu road, at the behest of his elder cousin, S. O. Gbadamosi.
The first Nigerian woman to get a masters degree in law is Muheeba Wonuola Folami, first child of S. O. Gbadamosi.
The wealthiest black woman alive is Mrs. Alakija, nee Ogbara, also from Ikorodu.
Modupe Oshikoya, the first female athletics medalist for Nigeria is from Ikorodu.
This is the city that has now fallen to the level of the second paragraph of this post.
Ikorodu is called "ìlú kékeré, ọkọ ìlú bàntata" for a reason, even though it is no longer small.
It appears that some people have neither a sense of history, nor dignity, nor respect for the high offices Providence has thrust upon them.
For traditional rulers to openly pander tomthe corrupt whim of CRIMINAL politicians is a bridge too far in the descent into societal depravity, but for it to happen in my beloved Ikorodu is beyond imagining.
People are hungry, you share ₦40,000 PER STREET to them - yes, you read right - FOURTY THOUSAND NAIRA, not daily o, just on the 31st of July, and intimidate them with curses by fake Pro, thus desecrating the traditions of our fathers and turning them into political tools.
The authority of the traditional rulers is being decimated by they themselves, all for the palliatives they are being given to hide in their homes by the greedy, criminal politicians.
It is my fervent hope that the REAL people of Ikorodu, the real Ọmọ Ẹ̀lúkú mẹdẹ́n mẹdẹ́n, ọmọ ibalẹ afèlèjà will wake up to their responsibilities to future generations and begin to fèlèjà as their oríkì demands.
Warmest Regards,
Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi.
@ChabbaFlorence Why are you concerned about this?
They all ignored the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest cos they're abroad. Now it happening to everyone. All of us go collect woto woto.
I sincerely commend your activeness in the struggle for better Nigeria.
@taadelodun Egbon with due respect, you are twitting about the UK protest but ignored your own country Nigeria, where masses are suffering from the government hardship. Are you patriotic?
So, the government sponsored a counter-protest in Abuja and a few other cities? What slogans will they be chanting? "We love widespread hunger", "We support endemic poverty", "We embrace insecurity", "We stand for economic downturn"...?
#TinubuMUSTGo#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
Whatever happens, blame the government. They were given at least one month ultimatum to address the hardships Nigerians are going through, but the government is yet to meet any of the Nigerian Youths Demands.
#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
It time #TinubuMUSTGo
Hunger is a unifying factor today in Nigeria. The government must act responsibly by looking into the prayers of protesters.
