meum:My brother, I understand your concern. That is why I wrote the policies clearly so people can see them and hold me accountable. Please support and also tell someone to tell another person. Together we can do better. |
SheikhMuniru:Thank you my brother. I understand your point. But democracy is about giving people choices. Sometimes people also want new ideas and new leadership. What matters most is good plans and good service to the people. If the people believe in the vision, they can support it. Let us continue the discussion. And please tell someone to tell another person. Together we can make Abeokuta North better. |
BeginsAtHome:Thank you my brother. You are right, talk is cheap. That is why I shared the policies so people can see the plans and also hold me accountable. Let us also give the youth a chance to serve and bring new ideas. With the support of the people, we can do something good for Abeokuta North. Please support and also tell someone to tell another person. Together we can make Abeokuta North better. |
Pootle:My brother, I understand what you said. Work is important. But if everybody faces only their personal work, then who will come out to serve the people and solve community problems? Leadership is also work. It is work to speak for the people and try to improve the community. That is why I shared these policies, so we can discuss ideas that can help Abeokuta North move forward. I believe with the support of the people, we can do better for our local government. Please support me, and also tell someone to tell another person. Together we can make Abeokuta North better. |
My 10-Point Policy Vision for a Cleaner, Organized and Progressive Abeokuta North Abeokuta North is one of the largest and most important local governments in Ogun State. Because of its closeness to Abeokuta South and its growing population, our communities should experience strong development, good environmental management, and proper urban organization. However, from careful observation of places like Lafenwa, Ita oshi and many other areas in Abeokuta North, we can clearly see that there are issues that need urgent attention. Environmental sanitation, roadside trading, transportation disorder, poor road maintenance, and lack of structured development planning are some of the challenges affecting the growth of our communities. My mission is not only to create new policies but also to review, update, and strengthen existing policies, many of which are already in place but are not properly enforced. Below is my 10-Point Policy Vision that will help move Abeokuta North to the next level of development. 1. Clean Abeokuta North Environmental Policy There must be stronger enforcement against dumping refuse on roads and in drainages. Anyone caught violating sanitation rules should face appropriate penalties to maintain a clean and healthy environment. 2. Strategic Waste Bin Placement The problem of dirt is not limited to Lafenwa alone. If one walks across different parts of Abeokuta North, almost every four kilometres there are refuse dumps scattered along the roadside. To address this,at least two large waste bins will be placed strategically in areas where refuse usually accumulates. These bins will be designed to accommodate waste for about three days. 3. Ward-Based Waste Collection System Waste management vehicles will operate within each ward and move around the communities every three days to collect and dispose of waste properly. This will prevent refuse from piling up on our roads. 4. Transportation and Parking Regulation There must be clear laws that prevent double parking and improper parking on major roads. Random parking creates congestion and sometimes leads to accidents. Proper parking zones will be established to ensure safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Proper Transport Movement and Parks We must ensure proper taxi, motorcycle and tricycle movement within Abeokuta North. These transport operators should operate from designated parks, not randomly on the road. Inter-state transport vehicles must use proper motor parks or parking garages. They should not park or load passengers by the roadside. 6. Market and Road Usage Policy In many places, especially around Lafenwa, traders occupy almost one-third of the road to sell goods. Roads are meant for transportation, not permanent trading. There must be policies that ensure traders operate within proper market areas, not on the roadside. 7. Development of Organized Market Spaces Government should also improve and expand organized market spaces so traders can operate in a more structured and safe environment without blocking roads. This will support both economic activity and urban order. 8. Routine Road Maintenance Policy Roads must be regularly monitored. Whenever potholes or road damage appear, responsible authorities must respond quickly and repair them appropriately. Routine maintenance will prevent small road problems from becoming major infrastructure failures. 9. Planned Urban Development As a skilled draftsman, I strongly believe in proper planning and design. Through structured planning we can create organized transport parks, proper parking spaces, improved market layouts, and better infrastructure across Abeokuta North. 10. Education Discipline, Vocational Training and Digital Learning Education remains the foundation of development. As an educator, I have observed that many students in public schools across Abeokuta North sometimes lack proper discipline and learning motivation. Some students go to school very late, dress improperly, or carry phones that distract them from learning. There should be clear school discipline policies that promote punctuality, proper dressing, and responsible behavior among students. At the same time, we must motivate learners to develop useful skills. I will push for a policy where vocational education becomes part of the school system, with at least one day in a week dedicated to vocational and practical skills training. In addition, I will advocate for improved school facilities, especially in ICT and digital education, so that our students can compete in the modern world. Moving Abeokuta North Forward My goal is to ensure that policies are not only written on paper but strictly followed for the greater good of Abeokuta North. These policies are foundational steps toward taking Abeokuta North to the next level of cleanliness, organization, education, and development. A cleaner environment, organized transport system, disciplined education system, and well-planned communities will benefit every resident. Let the discussion continue. Support Hon.

bosmann11:Thank you very much. I’m happy to hear from someone from Totoro Owu. Let’s keep the conversation going and work together for a better Abeokuta North. Your support means a lot. |
aalangel:Thank you for your observation and encouragement sis. Yes, I am young, but that is also the reason I want to serve. The Not Too Young To Run law has opened the door for young people to participate and bring new ideas into leadership. Young people understand many of the problems our communities are facing, and we are ready to work with experience and wisdom from elders to bring development to our people. You can also join this movement and support the vision for Abeokuta North. Support can come in many ways. For example: * Donations to support the campaign * Printing of campaign souvenirs like T-shirts, face caps, posters and banners * Branding of campaign vehicles * Public awareness materials and community outreach Every support counts, and no amount is too small. Together we can build a cleaner, better and more developed Abeokuta North. Thank you for your support. Hon. Ogunfeyitimi Tope Joshua Abeokuta North The New Generation Voice

happney65:You are correct. The main duty of a lawmaker is to make laws. That is the primary work of a member of the House of Assembly. But good lawmaking must start from the real problems the people are facing For example, look at Abeokuta North today. Many parts of the local government are very dirty. There is too much land pollution and waste everywhere. Drainages are blocked, refuse is dumped on roadsides, and the environment is not well managed. This is not just about sweeping the streets. It shows that we need strong environmental laws and proper enforcement. We need laws that will: * Control waste disposal * Punish illegal dumping of refuse * Encourage proper sanitation * Make local authorities responsible for keeping our communities clean A clean environment is very important for health, safety, and development. Aside from environmental laws, we also need laws that will improve: * Education * Youth empowerment * Agriculture * Security * Local economic development A lawmaker must also represent the people and speak for them. When the community is dirty, when schools lack facilities, when youths are unemployed, the lawmaker must bring these issues to the House and push for solutions. So yes, lawmaking is the main job, but it must be laws that solve real problems of the people. My goal is simple: To push for laws that will bring cleaner communities, better opportunities for youths, and real development in Abeokuta North. Politics should not just be about occupying a seat. It should be about making life better for the people. Hon. Ogunfeyitimi Tope Joshua Abeokuta North The New Generation Voice

AfroRemoteJobs:My brother, thank you very much for this strong support. I really appreciate it. We have been working together for a long time through the PAIN Project (Poverty Alleviation In Nigeria)and also as fellow Geocologists, so you understand the vision very well. The idea of bringing Entertainment, Agriculture and Technology (EAT) to the grassroots is very important, especially now that many young people need real work and real opportunities. Let us continue this journey together. Stay by me as always, just like we have always worked together in the PAIN Project. With unity and commitment we can help many young people and make real change. Thank you my brother. |
youngrichnigga:Thank you for your question and for taking the time to ask about my background. Yes, I have had Nairaland accounts in the past. I lost access to them, which is why this current account is new. My earlier username was @topyhanky, which I created around 2016. Later, I also used another account @safeopportunity, which I created around 2020. Earlier in this thread, I already shared the links to those old accounts to show my past activities. I would prefer not to repost the links again because repeated links can sometimes lead to a ban or restriction on Nairaland. Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your interest in the discussion. If you have more questions later, I will be happy to answer them |
youngrichnigga:Thank you for the question. I believe it is good for people to know what someone has done before talking about future plans. My background is in teaching, farming and youth development. I currently work as the Director of Vocational Studies at Ultimate Landmark Schools in Abeokuta. In this role, I encourage young people to learn practical skills, not just classroom theory. I always tell students that skills can help them stand on their own and succeed in life. Apart from teaching, I am also a farmer and a real agriculturist. I believe agriculture is one of the strongest ways to create jobs and fight poverty. Through our Triple A and T idea (Awareness, Action, Accountability and Technology), my team helped develop an integrated farm project in Owo, where we combined farming with practical training so people can learn agriculture and also produce food. Since 2020, I have also been working on a project called PAIN, which means Poverty Alleviation In Nigeria, The goal is to create opportunities and help reduce poverty. As part of that vision, we introduced PAC Coin, a digital project connected to the Ethereum blockchain. I am also a co-founder of Life Solutions Network, platform where we share ideas and opportunities that can help people improve their lives. All these things I have been doing are about helping people grow, learn skills and create opportunities. That same spirit is what I want to bring into public service for the people of Abeokuta North. |
SpencerForbes:Thank you for your honest comment, I understand your concern. But please understand that sometimes I use tools to help arrange my thoughts properly, especially when replying to many people online. The ideas and intentions are still my own, and the vision I’m sharing for Abeokuta North is genuine. What matters most is the commitment to serve the people well. I also believe the youth must step forward and lead with sincerity, new ideas, and accountability. That is exactly what I stand for. I appreciate your concern and I’m always open to real discussions. |
bcomputer101:I have been contributing on Nairaland since 2016. My username then was Topyhanky. Later, during my farm practice in agriculture, I also used another username which is the name of my digital company Safeopportunities. Below are some of my past threads on Nairaland for confirmation. https://www.nairaland.com/6030137/alleviating-poverty-hunger-starvation-nigeria https://www.nairaland.com/5420737/been-long-sop-sex httpss://www.nairaland.com/topyhanky |
Bluntemperor:Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate your kind words and support. You are right, anyone that people give the opportunity must keep to his promise and also be ready to answer to the people. Four years is not too long ooo ,so the work must speak for itself. The truth is that if we want change, we must take charge ourselves. And for us to take charge, we must support one another. We should not keep waiting for tomorrow. We are the leaders of today, not tomorrow. I truly appreciate your encouragement. 🙏 |
eteebanky1:My brother, thanks for your honest opinion. But it’s not a must for someone to contest under APC before he can serve the people. APC will definitely present their own candidate for the position. If everybody must only run under one party, then gradually Nigeria will become a one-party state, and that will not be good for our democracy. Elections are not only about money or incumbency. With positive support, even if it’s just telling somebody to tell somebody, people will get to know me and support the movement. I know Nairalanders have influence and can make things happen. I just need your positive support. |
tojahh:I hear you, but make we no conclude matter wey never happen. I’m in ADP and I’m focused on representing Abeokuta North well. The aim na development for our people, nothing more.

omojeesu:Thank you my brother, I really appreciate it. You’re right, the God factor is very important. With God’s guidance and the support of the people, we move forward. I truly appreciate the encouragement. |
essentialone:Thank you very much for your honest comment, I truly appreciate it. You are right that online support alone cannot win elections, but it helps create awareness and allows people to discuss real issues affecting our communities. My intention is not to go into public office to amass wealth. What motivates me is the desire to contribute to the development of Abeokuta North and ensure our people benefit from purposeful representation. I strongly believe leadership should focus on service, accountability, and real community impact Your support in sharing ideas and encouraging discussions is already a positive contribution, and I appreciate it. Let’s keep the conversation going. |
maysimsimple:Yes please |
If you had the power to reform public schools in Abeokuta North today… What one major change would you introduce to improve the quality of education for our children? Share your thoughts. Let’s discuss solutions.

PACIONS:If I had the opportunity to represent Abeokuta North in the House of Assembly, three immediate policy priorities I would push to tackle youth unemployment are: 1. Youth Skills & Innovation Development Program I would advocate for legislation that supports the establishment of community skill and innovation centers where young people can gain practical training in areas such as digital technology, creative industries, agriculture, construction, and vocational trades. Skills must match real economic opportunities. 2. Small Business & Youth Enterprise Support Fund Many youths have ideas but lack access to startup capital. I would push for policies that create structured micro-grants and low-interest loans for young entrepreneurs, alongside mentorship and business development support. 3. Agriculture & Local Production Empowerment Abeokuta North has strong agricultural potential. I would promote policies that encourage youth participation in modern agriculture, agro-processing, and local value chains, helping young people move from unemployment into productive enterprise. These three areas — skills, entrepreneurship, and agriculture — can create sustainable opportunities when properly supported. But leadership should always listen to the people, which is why I truly value the ideas shared here. Let’s keep the conversation going.

maysimsimple:Thank you very much for your sincere response, I truly appreciate it. And honestly, you don’t have to be a politician to contribute to community development. In fact, some of the best ideas come from citizens who experience the realities of the community every day. Since you live in Ita Oshin within Abeokuta North, your perspective is very valuable. We can start by discussing: • The major challenges youths face in Ita Oshin • Practical community-driven solutions • Ways to encourage skills development and opportunities for young people If you’re open to it, my contact is available in my bio. I would be glad if you could reach out so we can also engage further on WhatsApp and exchange ideas directly. Your insights will be very helpful, and I truly appreciate your willingness to engage. 🤝
