People: “Military drills in orientation camps are too harsh. There’s little rest, and the whole NYSC camp experience is too stressful. Government should do something.”
Government: “We hear you. We’ve introduced measures and new policies to make the orientation camp experience better.”
Same people: “What nonsense is this? The government is clueless!”
Me: So, what exactly do you people want gangan? Are you people possessed ?Shey ẹ ya wèrè ni? 😂😂
One of the biggest problems with us on this app is that we rarely pay attention to what truly matters. We are mostly drawn to whatever is trending or going viral.
When committees were calling for public opinions, many of us were too busy arguing about who was snubbed at a movie premiere or debating who was the bigger clown between Peller and Chicken or why did Theo Abu Agada call Peter Obi incompetent in the past.
Then, when the decisions are made, we suddenly become experts with endless complaints.
The day opposition wins Lagos, nothing extraordinary will happen.
Which state has opposition taken over and something fundamental changed?
The opposition in Lagos is based on jealousy, not service delivery.
They just want to replace those in power
She’s too big fry Akara or export kuli kuli to make honest living. If NDLEA had not busted her, the hypocritical society would named her among the “200 Successful Women in 2026” for this dirty income 🤗
Lagos woke up underwater and Major roads have turned flood zones 🌊🚗🌧️
Here are 5 things every LAGOS CAR OWNER should do to protect their car from FLOOD DAMAGE 🚨
THREAD 🧵👇
@LSPWC_Official@LasgMOE@tokunbo_wahab Please work on desilting the drainage on either side of Monastery road at Sangotedo, Eti-Osa.
Rainwater floods the road & it's destroying that paved road already.
There's a canal down the road so all you need to do is open the drains 🙏
JUST-IN:
This person who recorded and circulated this fake HELICOPTER video has been arrested and interrogated.
He is currently being held.
He admitted that he never saw any helicopter land to supply food for Fulani herdsman in Anambra, and and that he fabricated the story based on hearsay.
“Terrorists don’t deserve a second chance. They kill innocent people. They should be eliminated.” - His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, CON (@ubasanius), the Executive Governor of Kaduna State
There is no developed country in the world that defines its policies or progress by the realities of the common man or regular guy. Economies are not built on the realities of the common man.
Go and look at history.
- Hyperaccelerated development of Dubai
- The pragmatic exchange in Singapore
- The industrial and Neo Liberal era in US
- The post WWII era in Japan
- Park Chung Hee era in South Korea
- The Stanilist Era in USSR
- The industrial revolution era in Britian
- Post WWII West Germany
- Post-WWII France and the ENA technocrats.
There is always a disconnect or a lag period. If Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum had formulated his 1970s policies based on the immediate, everyday needs of a common Dubai fisherman or pearl diver, the city would likely still be a minor, localized fishing village.
There is always the conflict between immediate survival and long-term vision. The local fishermen in Dubai were asking for cheaper fuel, better fish markets, and local housing around the fish industries.
Instead of investing oil revenues directly into keeping traditional fishermen comfortable, he took massive financial gambles borrowing heavily to build infrastructure before the wealth even arrived.
Should we ignore the plight of the common man? No. We have to continue to build systems around them. The common man in Britain wasn't comfortable when the London underground tube was built.
As Asiwaju said, the hallmark of a good leader is the ability to make critical decisions when necessary.
@tokunbo_wahab My only problem is that after a few days of begging, you guys will open it.
If you lock it up for one full month, and make them pay for a brand new vehicle, they'll learn.
Oju boro o gbomo lowo ekuro.
@theyashimvg It doesn't need to be a lie. As the waste is removed, new ones are being dumped right behind the trucks.
This problem requires changing the laws, but Sanwoolu is not that serious about it. Maybe the next governor sha.
