24news: After two years of President Bola Tinubu's leadership, millions of Nigerians are no longer silent. Food prices are soaring, the naira keeps falling, and basic survival has become a daily battle.
In this video, we take a deep dive into the voices of the people — those enduring fuel hikes, power shortages, and relentless inflation. From the streets of Lagos to the villages across Nigeria, citizens are crying out: "We’re enduring, not enjoying!"
Could a revolution be brewing? Is the nation nearing a breaking point?
erad: Lol There's a very thin line between activism, freedom of speech and libel.
Like Yoruba elders will say, every statement has a response but not every response should be uttered.
Anyone can be anything, but laws won't change because of you. People will probably think it's their reactions and protests that prompted his release. Lol. Dey play.
Just because someone we like is the one breaking the law does not make it right and just because the authorities decided to do their jobs does not make them the enemy. Everybody keeps encouraging him in his unwise approach, I hope it'll be all worth it at the end.
You can do the right thing in the wrong way and that's exactly what he's doing. Segalink has had a great impact without being a nuisance. People have fought for people and stood up for the truth without being uncouth, irate and disrespectful.
Nigerians will keep hailing you just because you are speaking against their perceived enemies, case in point is Nnamdi Kanu. Let the consequences come and you'll be shocked that you can ever be so easily forgotten by the same people you thought you were fighting for.
Be an activist but be a legally informed activist.
The Ikwerre of River State that I know from my days in PH all say they are DISTINCT and not Ibos. However, a significant number of them marry women from Imo State and other places. So there's a maternal mix from other places with the paternal Ikwerre lineage.
At first we started out real cool Taking me places I ain't never been But now, you're getting comfortable Ain't doing those things you did no more You're slowly making me pay for things Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank And you have the audacity To even come and step to me Ask to hold some money from me Until you get your check next week
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother Silly me, why haven't I found another? A baller, when times get hard, I need someone to help me out Instead of a scrub like you, who don't know what a man's about
Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo' bills? If you did then maybe we could chill I don't think you do So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo' bills? If you did then maybe we could chill I don't think you do So, you and me are through
Now you've been maxing out my card Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends Haven't paid the first bill But instead you're headin' to the mall Goin' on shopping sprees Perpetrating to your friends like you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone Callin' whoever that you thinks at home And then when the bill comes All of a sudden you be acting dumb Don't know where none of these calls come from When your mommas number's here more than once
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother Silly me, why haven't I found another? A baller, when times get hard, I need someone to help me out Instead of a scrub like you, who don't know what a man's about
DoTheNeedful: Calling Lagos a "no man's land " should be considered a hate-speech in Nigeria. Statement like this are meant to bait and annoy some people.
Nobody asked for Lagos to be made capital. In fact, it is not everyone that like chaotic cities like Lagos. Lagos stopped being the capital of Nigeria 34 years ago. Yet, some people are still saying crap like Lagos is a no man's land.
As far as I know, there is no habitable land in the world that does not have its own people.
I genuinely believe in inclusivity where everyone in Lagos live peacefully regardless of their tribe or nationality, but calling the place a "no man's land" is annoying, disrespectful and ungrateful to the indigenous people. It will not serve those saying that any good.
Succinctly stated. I totally agree with the first paragraph and largely the rest of the post ABOVE. There are CLEARLY very deep cultural and character flaws in the wiring of the psyche of those people relentlessly making those insidious "no-man's-land" comments online and offline (about a deeply traditional Yoruba State such as Lagos which ALSO has a cosmopolitan flavor because of the presence of folks from different countries of the world living in the State).
It MUST be firmly emphasized here and now that it was Lagos Island (Eko) which already had an existing presence of indigenes that the British made the administrative capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991, NOT the entire Lagos State which ONLY came into existence on May 27, 1967 among the 12 new states. Lord Lugard was against using Lagos Island as the administrative capital of the newly amalgamated Nigeria because he wanted Kaduna to be the capital. The British Home Government overuled him and chose Lagos Island instead because it was closer to the Atlantic Ocean than Kaduna which is located in the interior. Lugard said Lagos Island was already inhabited by the natives (Yorubas) and that Lagos (Island) weather was humid and enervating. Those were Lugard's words contained in the archival materials on Nigerian history that I have read decades back.

Marvieduke: Breaking NEWS: I feel too much darkness — Guiness World Record holder Onakoya quits X
Guinness World Record holder, Tunde Onakoya, has announced that he is taking a break from the social media platform X.
Making the announcement on Thursday in a post on his X handle, the Nigerian chess champion revealed that the platform had become “overwhelming,” hence the need to “guard my heart.”
“I feel too much darkness in the world pressing in. I will be stepping away for a while,” he wrote.
Onakoya informed his fans that they could reach him via email for any important matters, adding that “I will continue to share my thoughts on Instagram.”
The announcement comes five months after Onakoya broke the world record for the longest chess marathon.
X can be a very toxic platform (due to the relaxation by Elon of the rules of engagement by users). This is why I use IG more over X for deeper connections with folks in various niches globally.
BreconHills: Building your own does not remove risks of land ownership disputes or goverment compulsory acquisition and subsequent voiding of C of O.
The only thing is to do all required land searches and take no ones word for it.
If he had searched he would have probably found that the C of O was still in the name of the owners. Short of a SC judgement or elapsation of time for appeal, the property remained contentious.
Dogalmighty17: Ali Baba's wife through her bank inflated a loan figure they gave to the original owner of the building their studio was in. I think the matter contributed to his increased high blood pressure which later led to his death. The bank repossessed the property and then sold it to Ali Baba.
Seeking redress, the kids of the original owner of the property challenged the unlawful sale in court and the court ruled in their favour. Without delay, they threw Ali Baba and his studio out.
Marvieduke: Popular Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has been evicted from his luxurious, multi-million-naira property located in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. This was due to a court dispute.
.... Recent reports confirm that comedian Ali Baba was evicted from his Victoria Island property in Lagos after a Federal High Court ruled the 2021 sale by AMCON invalid, awarding ₦500 million in damages and ordering the return to the original owners. The eviction occurred in August 2025.
The ₦500 million damages were awarded by the court to the original owners (Harold Expansion Industries) against AMCON, not to Ali Baba. There are no public updates as of September 2025 confirming if the payment has been made. Ali Baba was evicted but hasn't been reported as receiving any damages.
Ali Baba purchased the Victoria Island property from AMCON in 2021 for ₦220 million, according to multiple reports and court details. The sale was later ruled invalid by the Federal High Court. (Grok).
A lot of opaque deals go on in property space. It's good the children of the original owner tested this property seizure case in court and won.

27. Eclipse observations confirm Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse occurred, lasting almost seven minutes. Sir Frank Watson Dyson, a British astronomer, designed an experiment that Sir Arthur Eddington, also a British astronomer, led in 1919 that was used to confirm Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity by measuring the position of the stars during the eclipse and comparing them to their normal positions in the sky.
28. The aftermath of the Boston Molasses Disaster On January 15, 1919, in Boston, a 15-metre (50-foot) tank holding 8.7 million litres (2.3 million gallons) of molasses erupted, unleashing a giant wave that reached nearly eight metres (25 feet) high at one point. The disaster killed 21, injured 150, and flattened buildings.
miatech: One potential method for obtaining free gas is through the use of cattle manure, which can be converted to biogas through anaerobic digestion. This process involves placing the manure in an air-tight container where bacteria break it down and produce methane gas that can then be used as a source of energy. The benefits of this process are two-fold: first, it provides a renewable source of energy that does not rely on finite resources like oil or coal; second, it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector by capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. However, there are also challenges associated with this approach, such as the cost of building and maintaining anaerobic digesters, as well as concerns around odor and waste management. Nonetheless, cattle manure has significant potential as a source of free gas, and further research and development could help unlock its full potential in sustainable energy production.
I build Hydroponic Farms of all sizes. Hydroponic farming is a method of growing plants without using soil. Instead, plants are grown in a nutrient-rich solution that provides them with the necessary minerals and water to thrive. This method of farming offers several benefits, including:
1. Increased crop yields: Hydroponic farming can increase crop yields by up to 30% compared to traditional soil-based farming. 2. Water conservation: Hydroponic farming uses significantly less water than traditional farming methods, making it a more sustainable option. 3. Reduced land use: Hydroponic farming can be used to grow crops in small or irregularly shaped spaces, making it ideal for urban areas or areas with limited arable land. 4. Improved crop quality: Hydroponic farming allows for more control over the nutrients that plants receive, resulting in higher-quality crops. 5. Reduced soil erosion: Hydroponic farming eliminates the need for tilling and other soil disturbing practices, reducing soil erosion and preserving soil health.
However, hydroponic farming also has some challenges and limitations, including:
1. High initial investment: Setting up a hydroponic farm can be expensive, as it requires specialized equipment and infrastructure. 2. Energy consumption: Hydroponic farming requires a lot of energy to power the systems that provide nutrients and water to the plants. 3. Limited crop selection: Not all crops are suitable for hydroponic farming, and some may require specialized systems or equipment.
Overall, hydroponic farming is a innovative and sustainable way to grow crops, and it has the potential to revolutionize the way we produce food.
Bump.

KUDINAIRA: Imagine waking up to discover that the very tools you rely on to run your business — WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook — have been restricted overnight. Your customers can’t reach you. Your adverts vanish. Your sales channels go silent.
This is not fiction. It is what happened recently in Nepal, where protests erupted after sudden government restrictions, corruption scandals, and broken promises pushed young people onto the streets. Businesses were forced to shut down. Supply chains froze. The economy shook.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Nigeria is not immune. When politics shifts suddenly, small businesses like yours are always the first to feel the impact.
Why Entrepreneurs Must Pay Attention We often like to say, “I’m not into politics, I just want to run my business.” But politics is already inside your shop, your office, your hustle.
Think about it. When subsidy was removed, you paid more for fuel immediately. When the naira was floated, your suppliers changed their prices before you even had time to reprint your price list. When VAT was increased, you didn’t need a newspaper to explain it — you felt it in your profit margins.
What happened in Nepal is a reminder that politics and policy are not background noise. They are business risks. And if you are not watching closely, you could be caught off guard.
Keeping Abreast of Change The first step to protecting yourself is awareness. Too many Nigerian entrepreneurs only notice a new law or policy after it has already started hurting their business. By then, it’s often too late to adjust.
Don’t wait until a policy goes viral on Twitter before you pay attention. Create a simple system for yourself: 👉🏾 Scan business news at least once a week. 👉🏾 Pay attention during budget announcements — they often hide clues about coming changes. 👉🏾 Join a trade association, cooperative, or chamber of commerce in your industry. These groups usually hear whispers of policy shifts before the public does. Awareness is not just about information. It’s about time. Time to adjust prices before customers complain. Time to talk to suppliers before they shock you. Time to prepare your team before panic sets in. And in business, time is survival.
Planning for the “What Ifs” The second step is preparation. And this is where many entrepreneurs struggle. We are so focused on daily survival that we rarely think about tomorrow’s storms. But resilience is built before the crisis, not during it.
This is where scenario planning comes in. Sit with your team — or even by yourself with a notebook — and ask the tough questions: 👉🏾 What if fuel climbs to ₦1,500 per litre? 👉🏾 What if the exchange rate jumps overnight? 👉🏾 What if WhatsApp, Instagram, or another key platform is suddenly restricted? 👉🏾 What if a new tax is introduced in your sector? Don’t just think about these questions. Write them down. Then write your response. 👉🏾 If fuel skyrockets, will you raise prices, cut delivery zones, or look for pooled transport solutions? 👉🏾 If FX jumps, will you switch to local suppliers or adjust your inventory strategy? 👉🏾 If your favourite social media app is blocked, what backup channel will you use to reach customers?
It may feel unnecessary now, but when change comes — and in Nigeria, it always comes — you’ll be glad you have a playbook instead of panic.
Final Word The protests in Nepal show us how quickly politics can spill into the marketplace. For entrepreneurs, the lesson is clear: don’t just hope policies remain stable. Prepare for the possibility that they won’t.
Because when governments act and the streets react, it is SMEs that get squeezed first.
So let me ask you: if a major policy was announced tomorrow morning, would your business be ready with a plan — or would you be left scrambling?
Why Entrepreneurs Must Pay Attention We often like to say, “I’m not into politics, I just want to run my business.” But politics is already inside your shop, your office, your hustle.
