The old man should not have generalized these much. A statesman who understands some dimensions of impunity that some people makes others go through and willing to bring in honorable sanity will not sound this general. I hope that the Ẹ̀gbá youths and Ẹ̀gbá people can attest to this.
He accused the British, yet that is what he and many of his age allies are made of. What has their generation done as a leader ?
Cease opportunities and limit freedom of the youth and later cast blame?
I detest selfish people. But the poor youths should not continue living this way, regardless of what limit the economy imposes. There will always come a time for common sense and somebody will always pay for their recklessness beyond what words of mouth can fix. So embrace liberation !
Peace !
PigTormentor: Lazy shallow youths like you hate the truth.
No one is coming to give handouts; think fast about how to become useful to society and make money while you do. This is 2026, and the world has changed; no more crumbs for lazy people.
press9jatv: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, as Director of Women Mobilisation for his 2027 presidential campaign council.
Edu’s appointment was contained in the full list of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council released on Saturday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
The campaign council will be chaired by President Tinubu, while Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, will serve as vice chairmen.
Former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, was named Director-General, while Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, will serve as Secretary.
Senator Ajibola Bashiru and Hadiza Bala-Usman were appointed Deputy Secretary and Assistant Secretary respectively.
This is very wrong sir. Anyone old enough to be working and earning should choose their privacy pattern and be independent as responsible citizens.
If house rent that used to be affordable even for the unemployed is now unaffordable, even for the employed categories, it should not be so with people's wage and their income. Nothing should be left behind in a rising economy, that is why it is termed rising. Otherwise, something is wrong with that system.
Where are we taking Lagos to with this kind of public order, boss?
This is not right to say of an utmost eagerlitarian society. Sustainable Development Goals-SDGs global accountability is barely three years away from now and this is what is trending from Lagos. The youths deserves decent lives and they should be given full support.
Increasing property rents even after owners have realized more than double of their cost price is no way forward. We should rather focus on cutting multidimensional poverty and building sustainable ecosystems for a prosperous governance.
I am sure that the people will always support responsible leadership that respects fundamental human rights.
If you are contesting for a position with this mentality I am sure it will never go as intended. Osun State just completed theirs and I don't think that Lagos is excempted, come '27 sir.

A lady has stirred reactions on social media after revealing that she ended her relationship upon discovering that the man she was dating was a vulcaniser.Men's Interests
In a video circulating online, she claimed the man had opened a container shop for her without initially disclosing his occupation.
According to her, she later found out he was a vulcaniser and decided she could not continue the relationship because she was unwilling to settle for less.
She added that following her decision, the man asked his associates to retrieve the container shop he had set up for her.
Speaking in Yoruba, she said …
“The person I am dating opened a container shop for me but I didn’t know he is a Vulcanizer, and I can’t dates a vulcanizer, so he asked his people to come and carry the container he opened for me”
“The person I am dating opened a container shop for me but I didn’t know he is a Vulcanizer, and I can’t dates a vulcanizer, so he asked his people to come and carry the container he opened for me”
That's not what he's saying. You need to understand Economics well before talking anyhow. Try get that Increasing SSCE price and other stuffs you're raising does not necessarily increase poverty. The Emir emphasized that government should implement policies that increases citizens welfare and reduce poverty through inclusive growth, alongside other policy mechanisms. Rising poverty has nothing to do with Increasing SSCE price as long as Inclusive growth is in place, OK ?
AMINDA: They are rather running to town celebrating policies like subsidy removal, naira floatation, taxation, hike in WAEC fees, and calling it "bold reforms." Meanwhile, the lived realities of ordinary Nigerians is saying the opposite.
If it is not a productive employment, it is a poverty duplication/ multiplication avenue. I second that productive employment/ engagement remains the most effective tool for reducing poverty, ceteris paribus.
Powerbandooo: On a local setting like factory work, table water company, b might collect it, But on global setting like dangote, nnpc, Unilever, it is either a or c
In a multi billion naira company, say na yansh you won use enter, if that is the case how did the company grow so big
Ahhh.. Maybe he's just massaging the area and that's turned to MB, albeit almighty std no dy show for face again ooo. I've seen lot of ladies do same and it sometimes feels like assault... So, allow him stretch small.
It's however good to be reasonable and kind from both sides.
[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=140014703]"My body is my body" — Claimed police officer allegedly caught masturbating inside public bus
A disturbing video circulating on social media has sparked widespread outrage after showing a man, who claimed to be a police officer, allegedly masturbating inside a commercial bus while it was in transit.
The footage shows the man seated beside a female passenger, who openly accused him of sexually harassing her during the journey.
According to the woman, the self-proclaimed police officer was allegedly masturbating while sitting next to her. She repeatedly questioned his conduct, expressing disbelief that a grown man would engage in such an act in a public vehicle while allegedly staring at her.
Rather than deny the allegation, the man confronted the woman and questioned why she was interfering in what he described as his personal business.
As the confrontation escalated, the man allegedly became aggressive. The video shows him attempting to intimidate the woman while other passengers intervened to calm the situation.
He reportedly threatened to assault her and claimed he could have her arrested, saying her family would have to come and secure her release.
Responding to the woman’s accusation, the man insisted that whatever he was doing was nobody else’s concern.
“My body is my body. If I am even doing anything, it’s not your business,” he said.
The incident has since triggered widespread condemnation online, with many social media users calling for authorities to investigate the matter, particularly the man’s claim that he is a police officer.
Public Reactions Maxim wrote: “Your body is your body, but public spaces aren’t your private bedroom. Respect yourself and everyone around you.”
Abefe wrote: “@PoliceNG He claim he’s police officer see what you have made. Find him bring him to justice.”
Gibben wrote: “But why would he ever do that in public is he possessed or his diabolical means of protection telling him to do so…”
Tonic wrote: “The fool doesn’t know that there’s law that protects public decency and he whole heartedly agreed that he was masturbating in a public bus. Frankly speaking half education could be very dangerous and disastrous.”
Grease by Grace wrote: “We really don’t know those who have become mentally decapitated. He probably needs help or when arrested and put in prison for being a nuisance, his brain will correct.”

Those were the days when 1 Dollar was not up to 5 Naira. Agriculture generated ample foreign exchange, and cost of living was more like free as breathing in nature's oxygen.
Nigeria was apparently a happier state then, given military rule or otherwise.
It's now other way round and only a few cares about timely restoration !
If there was a button you could press to go back to that era… would you press it?
That was my mum’s answer.
She began telling me what life really felt like growing up in Nigeria in the 70s and 80s… and the more she spoke, the more it felt like stepping into a completely different world.
The more she spoke, the more it sounded like a simpler life… but it makes you wonder… was it actually better?
Note: This was made from my mum’s perspective, so it might differ slightly from your own experience or that of your parents.
If you experienced this era (or heard stories about it), I’d really like to hear yours.

A Nigerian woman goes viral after unboxing the food palliative boxes she received — reportedly linked to President Bola Tinubu and APC supporters. In the clip, she boldly declares: “I have collected Tinubu’s boxes of gifts. Let me show you what’s inside. I will eat it, but I will still not vote for him. It’s my money. I am paying taxes. He cannot use this to take away the future of my children.” Watch as she opens the branded cartons to reveal everyday staples: bags of rice, vegetable oil, noodles (Golden Penny brand spotted), and other basic items distributed as "Renewed Hope" relief amid Nigeria's ongoing economic hardship. This moment perfectly captures the current mood — many Nigerians are accepting short-term handouts (seen as their own tax money returned) while refusing to let it sway their vote in the upcoming elections. Is this smart resistance or just survival? Comments are divided: some call it "chop but no sell your future," others slam it as disguised vote-buying.

A businesswoman, Tracy Ohiri, who recently accused Nigeria’s Minister of Works, David Umahi, of owing her money has now publicly apologized in a new video that surfaced online.
In the video message, Ohiri explained that after consulting with her legal team, family members, and close friends, she decided it was best to give peace a chance and move on from the controversy.
She also addressed one of the most widely circulated claims from the earlier dispute. According to her, she never said that the Minister tied a towel while meeting her in a hotel room, a statement that had generated widespread discussion online.
In her words, she said: “I never said Engineer David Umahi tied a towel to meet me in a hotel room. I apologize if the allegations have been magnified and taken out of context. My family and I have decided to move on and face our lives and business, and we want everyone to respect this decision.”
The dispute between Ohiri and the Minister had earlier drawn massive attention across social media, with several commentators and influencers reacting to the matter.
Among those who spoke about the issue were personalities such as VeryDarkMan and Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, as well as other concerned Nigerians.
Following the apology video, reactions online have been mixed. While some social media users believe the apology may have come after pressure or a possible settlement, others argue that the decision to step back from the dispute could simply be an effort to restore peace and move forward.
The situation continues to generate conversations online as many Nigerians share differing opinions about the sudden apology.

Rapmoney: A Nigerian woman has made a video, accusing Nigerian Minister of Works, David Nweze Umahi of owing her the sum of 250 million Naira for contracts for the past 12 years, and has refused to pay her because she rejected his request for a relationship.
The video was made before she was arrested by the police on the order of Mr Umahi. She has been taken to Abuja, and has insisted that David Umahi was intimidating her.
Political activist, Omoleye Sowore has also accused David Umahi of using government power to intimidate citizens over personal issues. Sowore accosted Umahi at the police headquarters yesterday while Umahi had arranged with police for the woman to be presented, where he ended up threatening her. There were altercations between Mr Sowore and security personnel of the minister.
The allegation that David Umahi ordered a woman’s arrest over a long-standing debt dispute has intensified scrutiny of arrest practices in Nigeria. If courts exist to adjudicate debt claims, why resort to arrest? Does influence determine how quickly the police act?… pic.twitter.com/wKAbKDozT6
Go get a life.. A better meaningful one and watch out for the real difference
Dpsychologist: There is a breakup that does not come with a speech.No dramatic argument. No clean ending. No final talk.
Just… less.
Less effort. Less affection. Less presence.
The texts slow down. The calls get shorter. The warmth cools. You start feeling like you are talking to someone who is physically there but emotionally packed and halfway out the door.
You ask what is wrong. They say nothing. You ask if you are okay. They say you are overthinking. You try harder. They try less.
This is the slow fade.
And it is one of the most manipulative exits in modern relationships.
Some people do not have the courage to say, “I do not want this anymore.” So instead, they engineer your exhaustion. They withdraw slowly. They become inconsistent. They create confusion on purpose.
Why?
Because they do not want to be the villain.
Ending a relationship directly requires ownership. It requires accepting that you are hurting someone. Not everyone has the emotional spine for that. So they push you to do it.
They starve the connection until you snap.
Then when you finally react, when you cry, argue, or walk away, they get to say, “You gave up.”
But let us be clear about something.
Silence is communication. Distance is a decision. Emotional neglect is a breakup in progress.
When someone truly wants you, you do not live in confusion. You do not beg for clarity. You do not feel like you are competing with air.
Confusion is not mystery. It is withdrawal.
The cruel genius of the invisible exit is this. They keep giving you just enough to stay, but never enough to feel secure. A breadcrumb here. A kind word there. A good weekend followed by three cold ones.
You stay because you remember how it used to feel.They stay because they are too afraid to end it.
But here is the revolutionary part.
You do not need their formal goodbye to accept reality. You do not need a speech to validate what you are experiencing. If someone consistently shows you reduced effort, reduced care, reduced presence, believe that.
Do not wait to be officially discarded.
If you feel like you are the only one fighting for oxygen in the relationship, the relationship has already ended. You are just the last one still holding on. And walking away from neglect does not make you weak. It makes you awake.
If you have experienced the slow fade, you are not crazy. You are not dramatic. You simply noticed what they hoped you would tolerate.
