Yesterday GRV said he’s going to abandon the 4th mainland bridge idea and replace them with 3 proposed parallel bridges.
Unfortunately his proposal is worse than what the Lagos state government currently has in place.
I don’t know if he did that ignorantly (which is an embarrassment to his MIT architectural degree) or he intentionally twisted the facts to deceive the gullible public who don’t have access to the plans of the state.

Fisayo Kolawole is one of the most brilliant leaders I have ever listened to (and I do not say this lightly). You see, nothing prepared us for the depth we were about to receive sitting with Fisayo Kolawole, Country Manager at Paystack. But we were ready.
Nine years at Paystack, and the previous seven at Interswitch—a leader like Mr. Kolawole brings a rare level of high-grade wisdom, invaluable experience, and data-backed perspective.
We weren't there for motivation. We were there for the uncomfortable truths leaders do not often say in public, for the insights you have to pay to hear, and for the perspectives that only time can realistically give.
Brazilian President Lula:
The end of online betting is already having a positive impact on the economy. Without spending money on gambling, families have increased their consumption.
Online betting destroyed lives and must remain in the past, like a nightmare from which Brazil has finally awakened.
"Let me begin with a plain description of where we are, because Nigerians are living with two economies at the same time.
The first is the economy of the national accounts. Our external reserves, the country’s savings in foreign currency, have risen from about US$33 billion in May 2023 to about US$55 billion at the end of October 2026. Inflation has slowed to 14.63%. The economy grew by 4.43% in the second quarter, and tax collections more than doubled between 2023 and 2025. Refining and fertiliser exports are also growing. These are real achievements that came from difficult decisions.
The second is the economy of the kitchen table, the economy of the trader, the teacher, the pensioner, the artisan and the small business owner. Here the picture is harder. When inflation slows, prices are still rising, only more slowly. A kilogram of local rice cost about N757 in September 2023 and about N1,862 in November 2025, according to NBS. The new minimum wage of N70,000 buys about 51 litres of petrol at a recent Lagos pump price, while the old N30,000 wage bought about 126 litres in May 2023 at the national average price. The comparison uses two different price bases, but every household recognises the pressure it describes. The World Bank estimates that 63% of Nigerians were poor in 2025.
Between these two economies sits a transmission gap, and I see four leaks in the pipe.
1. The government’s improved revenue goes first to interest and recurrent costs, leaving little for investment.
2. Factories pay too much for power and credit to produce cheaply.
3. Food leaves the farm at one price and reaches the market at a much higher one because of insecurity, poor storage and transport costs.
4. Wages are reviewed only every few years while prices move every month.
The manifesto addresses each of these leaks. It promises more power and metering for industry, conditional support for manufacturers, storage and secured farm corridors for food, a larger social register, wider health insurance, and a quarterly cost-of-living basket within the first 100 days. That is the right map.
What it still needs is costing, dates for 2027 and 2028, and clear targets for real wages, food prices, and poverty. Most of its dated targets fall in 2030 and 2031, while households will judge the next government by what happens to their incomes in the next two years.
My assessment is constructive, as Nigeria has recorded meaningful macroeconomic and selected productive gains. Spreading those gains across enterprises, employment and household incomes is the task of the next four years."
