Every time a bottle, food pack, nylon bag, or any waste is thrown from a vehicle onto the road, it may seem insignificant. However, when thousands of people do the same, our streets become littered, drainage channels become blocked, and the environment suffers.
What you throw away today can contribute to:
Flooding caused by blocked drains and waterways.
Environmental pollution and unpleasant surroundings.
Health risks from disease-causing pests and contaminated water.
Increased government spending on waste evacuation and road maintenance.
A negative image of our beautiful city.
A clean Lagos is not the responsibility of government alone - it is a duty we all share. Dispose of your waste properly, keep a waste bag in your vehicle, and use designated waste bins.
What you do: Throw waste on the road.
What you cause: Pollution, flooding, and environmental degradation.
What you should do: Keep your waste until you find a proper bin.
Keep Lagos Clean. Protect the Environment. Save Lives.

Ask 50 Igbos who they will vote for and 48 will say Peter Obi.
Ask 50 Yorubas who they will vote for and maybe 30 will say Tinubu
But to the Igbos, the Yorubas voting Tinubu are tribalistic while Igbos who gave Obi over 85% of their votes in 2023 are not tribalistic.
Dear @arojinle1 I know the emotion is high but there is a difference between FG led Operation Safe Corridor (@Op_SAFECORRIDOR) and the State led DDR programme and State peace agreement, FG does not reintegrate active bandits or terrorists to the society, the state does it and in the eyes of FG those individuals are still criminals once they step out of the state or LGA they are confined by the state they will be arrested and be charged for terrorism.
One might argue that the Governors can’t decide, but the fact remains Governors are the one making this concession to criminals, the FG DDR programme does not reintegrate active terrorists but associates of terrorists and low level terrorists who were conscripted into the terrorists group.
Apparently some people didn’t know they dthis happened? Use Google stop embarrassing yourselves.
Go and watch the interview Chude Jideonwo did at Orire few days after the incident.
Last week, I went to visit a family friend at her shop, and while we were talking, she called her 7-year-old daughter to get a bottle of Coke from the fridge. The little girl grabbed the bottle, slipped, and dropped it. The bottle shattered everywhere.
As I got up to ask if she was okay, she immediately got up, ignored the broken glass around her, ran out of the shop, and started crying. Her mother was livid. She called her back into the shop to face the consequences and yelled some hurtful words at her.
I helped clean up the mess and asked the child to stay outside because her mom was so upset. Then I asked the mother why she was so angry. She said the girl was too playful. I told her I had been watching and that the child wasn’t playing at all; she simply slipped and fell.
She repeated that the girl was always too playful. I acknowledged that she might be, but that wasn’t why the Coke dropped. I saw what happened: it was clear that she slipped.
I then asked her to try to understand the difference between a child being playful and an accident happening. After all, she could have dropped the bottle, too, if she had slipped. I reminded her that while our children can sometimes be playful, accidents happen, and they are still just kids.
We shouldn’t beat or punish them for every mistake. Sometimes, we need to talk to them instead.
Imagine being so afraid of your parent that you run over broken glass just to avoid being punished. What if she had slipped again and gotten seriously hurt? All over a mistake that could happen to anyone.
I understand that parenting is hard and can be exhausting, but we need to stop taking our frustrations out on our children. It’s not okay.
She was quiet for most of the conversation because I was upset, too. Later, she wanted to use food as a way of apologizing, asking her, “Come here, I know you are hungry. What would you like to eat?” but I insisted that she talk to her daughter instead. I wanted the child to understand that it was just an accident and to hear from her mother that accidents happen.
Sometimes, that’s what children need most, not punishment, but understanding.
So, my fellow parents, please and please and please. These kids are just kids. Their brains are just developing, and they need our help, support, and guidance through these stages. Do not blame and punish them for everything.
As a HO in Paeds, I had a 5 month old toddler, she was ill that day and my SR gave me the day off, said my daughter was suffering from maternal deprivation and nothing else. Truly, my girl got better with my presence alone without any meds. Dr Anolue,I never forgot! God bless u!
As of 2026,
- Nigeria has 300,000+ illegals migrants from Ghana, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin.
- 870,000 identified foreign nationals overstaying their visas from South Africa, China, India, etc
- 127,000 asylum and refuge seekers majorly from central Africa.
Guess what, Nigerians don’t even care more less going about killing them like you murderers in South Africa.
In 1966, All African counties boycotted the World Cup to protest apartheid and how black South Africans were marginalized
In 2026, All African countries supported Mexico against South Africa in protest against their xenophobia
Live long enough
A Black man scoring the first goal of the 2026 World Cup to silence the African continent’s most hostile nation towards Black foreigners is absolutely poetic. Thank you, Mexico! 🇲🇽
The irony is that prosperity often reveals whether a man truly loved GOD or merely needed HIM.
Israel cried out passionately in the wilderness, but once they entered abundance, many forgot the LORD. This is why GOD repeatedly warned Israel:
“Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God…” (Deuteronomy 8:11)
If moving to America reduced your prayer life, America did not become your god; comfort did. America simply exposed what your prayer life was built upon.
The highest form of prayer is not, “GOD, give me.”
The highest form of prayer is, “GOD, I want YOU.”
A man who has discovered GOD will still pray when every earthly need has been met, because prayer is not sustained by desperation alone; it is sustained by love.
It is unfortunate that many think otherwise.

Swift Troops’ Intervention Foils Attack on School, Saves Students in Kogi
By: Zagazola Makama
The timely intervention of security troops has prevented what could have been a major attack on students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Iluke Community, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
Eyewitnesses who spoke after the incident commended the swift response of the troops, saying their prompt arrival at the scene prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students.
The attack occurred when armed men stormed the community and started shooting where students were writing their examinations.
According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants attempted to seize the students and move them into a nearby bush before security personnel responded to distress calls from residents.
“The situation would have been much worse if the soldiers had not arrived when they did. Their intervention saved the students and prevented what could have been a major tragedy,” one resident said.
Another eyewitness described the response of the troops as timely and professional, noting that the security operatives engaged the attackers and forced them to abandon their mission.
The residents said the arrival of the troops compelled the attackers to retreat from the area.
All the students were reportedly safe and unharmed and safely reunited with their families following the operation.
Community members also praised local security volunteers and other security agencies that supported the operation.
The incident, however, left the community in mourning following the death of three residents during the attack.
Security sources said one of the attackers was neutralised during the exchange of fire, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds.
A security operation is ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks in the area.
Residents of Iluke Community expressed gratitude to the troops for their courage and sacrifice, describing the intervention as a decisive action that prevented a larger humanitarian crisis.
They urged security agencies to sustain the ongoing operations and strengthen security presence in vulnerable communities across the area.
The Kogi State Government has also commended the troops and other security personnel involved in the operation, assuring residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
