Is there any update on this project?

AntiChristian:
The solution should be in your head but you seldom use it. Lagos as you said has high housing deficit due to migration from other states. This didn't start today. But still continues till tomorrow!

There are is little or no lands in Lagos to build such extensive housing like 50 years ago! Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria! That's why it had to partner with other states with landmass for their agricultural benefits!

It think other states should buckle up and reduce the migration to Lagos and also encourage people to go back to their states!

While Lagos is undeniably Nigeria's smallest state by landmass, spanning roughly 3,577 square kilometers, blaming geography for a severe housing deficit is an evasion of governance duties. The fundamental breakdown in the housing sector stems from a lack of political will and a structural shift in economic priorities, rather than a mere influx of people.

International comparisons demonstrate that high population density within a small landmass does not inherently doom a city to a housing crisis. Singapore occupies a mere 734 square kilometers, a fraction of the size of Lagos, yet its government successfully provides subsidized public housing to nearly 80% of its citizens. Hong Kong faces extreme geographic constraints with its mountainous terrain and surrounding waters, yet its administration engineered massive vertical housing estates to shelter millions. These global hubs faced identical demographic pressures but chose to treat urban density as an engineering and policy challenge rather than an insurmountable obstacle.

The current housing deficit persists because modern administrations have completely abandoned this social welfare philosophy. Today, the state relies heavily on public-private partnerships, outsourcing development to profit-driven corporations that naturally prioritize luxury duplexes over low-income flats. Furthermore, current government schemes require steep down payments and rigid mortgage qualifications that systematically exclude the informal workforce. The other day, I saw Lagos government partnering with acommercial real estate property developer and I was so sad. By transforming housing from a basic public service into a premium investment vehicle, the state has allowed commercial interests to dictate urban development. The government now relies on Public- Private Partnerships (PPPs). Private developers are in it for maximum profit. They will never build a #10 million flat for a low-income family when they can use that exact same land to build a 150 million luxury duplex in Lekki. Even current government schemes like Lagos HOMS require massive down payments and formal mortgage structures that 80% of the informal working class can never qualify for. Instead of building up the working class, we see aggressive demolitions of informal settlements to make way for premium estates, luxury developments, and sand-filled coastal expansions.

The current crisis is therefore the predictable result of policy choices that favor real estate speculation over civic responsibility.

Stop blaming the citizens who come to Lagos to hustle for a better life. Migration is a reality of every major economic hub on earth.

The difference between a functional mega-city and a housing crisis is political will. When leaders treat housing as a social duty rather than a premium investment vehicle, the problem gets solved. Until then, "too many people" is just an easy escape route for failed promises. APC as a party as failed to meet its own target. If the master planner had achieved his 45,000 units, he would have surpassed LKJ and we may not be talking about this today. Since 1999, all the APC governments combined have not achieved more than half of the 45,000 units Tinubu promised in 1999. Think about that. It's more about intentional policy than the excuses you are giving sir. The state government has taken policies that are anti-people and not welfarist. BTW, I do not disagree with you that the other states need to pull people out of Lagos but it's not an excuse, it's an opportunity to a state to attract people and tax them eventually.

Fact-checking current data from authoritative Nigerian news sources shows that the Sanwo-Olu administration has delivered 10,623 housing units over its seven years in office (2019-2026), which is a completely different scale of speed and volume compared to the historic, unmatched performance of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, who constructed over 30,000 low-cost housing units in just four years (1979-1983).

Independent reports estimate Lagos' housing gap at over 3.3 million units due to intense rural-urban migration. The current goal of 2,000 units in Sangotedo and Adesanya serves as a micro-fix rather than a structural solution to this deficit. The government has a projected ultimate goal of reaching 14,022 total home units by the time Sanwo-Olu's tenure concludes, relying heavily on the completion of the 2,000 lagging units currently stalled under contractors in Sangotedo and Abraham Adesanya. During the Jakande administration (1979-1983), the population of Lagos was approximately 2.5 million to 2.7 million people; today, in 2026, the population has ballooned to an estimated 17.8 million to over 21 million people depending on the demographic model used.

How we've not been able to beat a benchmark set over 50 years ago is surprising to me.

Asking why it has been impossible for the successive governments to surpass Jakande's fear, one of the factors was👇

Then: Jakande ran a purely socialist, welfare-driven governance model. The state built uniform, low-cost concrete blocks meant strictly to house the working- class mass public. Profit was not an objective.

Now: The Lagos State Government relies heavily on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). Private developers demand profit margins and targeted returns. Consequently, modern projects focus on mixed-income or premium housing to recoup private investments, making the construction of tens of thousands of "free" or low-cost units financially unviable for corporate partners.

Yes, a fundamental shift in political will is a massive factor. While economic constraints, population surges, and land scarcity are real, public policy analysts, real estate experts, and political figures like former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo explicitly point out that massive housing delivery remains "entirely possible-it is a matter of political will".

The argument that the modern Lagos State government "can't" match Jakande due to economic factors is only half the story. The truth is that the current administration has actively chosen a completely different governance and economic philosophy, shifting from a welfare-driven social housing mandate to a profit-aligned commercial model.


This reminds me of how Tinubu set the foundation of profiteering off public housing but many think it's all about politics. We all know there is a public housing crisis in Lagos but let's keep pretending and playing games.

After like 10 years in marriage, couple that have sex once a week or thrice a month is not bad.


I think what she meant by sex is not food is for those who expect to have sex with their wife everyday or even 3 to 4 times a day even after 10 years in marriage, such habit is not even healthy to my own understanding Sha.


Once a week or thrice a month is enough for old couples that have spent like 8 to 10 years together in marriage.


As for the men expecting sex everyday from their wives or wives expecting such from their husband, they are not being realistic or they are suffering from a compulsive sexual behavior or hypersexuality which are all forms of illness that need attention.


Any man that craves for sex everyday with his wife is definitely suffering satyriasis.

I can't speak to the frequency of having sex as that is peculiar to each relationship and their situation in life but one thing I know is that people don't prepare for life stresses in marriages. The way the woman changes after pregnancy and how surviving life and carrying a family changes a man, I would not easily judge it.

Personally, I think you have better things to do with your life instead of sex everyday but some people use it as coping mechanism to relieve tension and stress. Having sex every day is a healthy, normal lifestyle choice for roughly 4% of couples who naturally possess high libidos and use physical intimacy for connection, stress relief, and biological satisfaction. Many partners also use daily intimacy as a quick, low-maintenance way to "turn off their brains" and unwind after long work hours. This is another reason why I like to evaluate people's physiology and psychology. Why are they doing that thing they are doing? If they smoke, waste time at the bar, drink, play games, talk, what are they escaping from?

I'm just trying to tell her that sex is food to men not necessarily because men cannot do other things and reason well, it's mainly because his biology is made up in a way that he has to release those sperms. Her biology changes every 28 days that there are certain specific days she wants to receive him. She wants him to reason, his biology want to have sex before reason so a hungry man is a bull, he just wants food aunty. If you have it, give him. We can talk about how you bought the food, where you bought it from etc but most men will reset after you give him that food. Sex is food to men, majority of them. That's the 'dark side' to marriage, he wants the sexual partner that he is sure of that is his own. He doesn't want to write a story book over it, to the women they feel that is as if they are commodities to be used whenever he feels like doing it but I just want them to understand the biology of it inasmuch as men should also understand the emotions of having sex and getting a woman wet before the do.

spiceadole:
Sex is not my thing.
I'm married with 3 children.
Come and beat me .
Everytime sex this, sex that. As if sex is food and oxygen.

I wasn't going to respond until I read your last line which, if you don't know, and I'm very sure but you're just frustrated at the topic, yes, sex is food and oxygen to marriages.



https://www.tiktok.com/video/7526889926714051896
Statistically, physical intimacy acts as a stabilizing force in marriage, with research showing that having sex just once a week correlates with the highest levels of relationship satisfaction. While increasing frequency beyond that baseline does not significantly boost happiness, a complete drop in intimacy carries heavy risks, as a lack of physical connection is a primary driver of infidelity and roughly 80% of divorced couples cite the long-term erosion of intimacy as the root cause of their separation.

Over time, sexual intimacy is the single strongest statistical predictor of marital happiness during the first three years of marriage, but for couples together longer than a decade, emotional closeness and shared quality time eventually overtake sexual frequency as the top predictors of a lasting bond.

LordIsaac:
I do not go close to anyone with an attached eyelash...and I do not take them seriously. For me, it signals someone I must avoid.

The psychology of wearing false eyelashes, hair extensions, acrylic nails, and other cosmetic body attachments centers on identity, emotional, and social navigation. Though we don't judge but when people modify their physical boundaries with these attachments, they are often using external tools to manage internal psychological states.

When you see someone who cannot function without glueing on three-inch false eyelashes, adding bundles of fake hair, and snapping on a set of long acrylic nails, you are not looking at a beauty trend, it is an indication of a full-blown identity crisis. This is a person who suffers from an unstable core identity. They do not have a solid foundation inside, so they are trying to construct a self from the outside in. They put on these dramatic pieces to instantly borrow a persona from plastic because they do not have a real answer to the basic question of who they actually are.

This identity crisis is deeply physical. The natural body becomes something they reject. They look at their real eyes, their natural skin, and their own hair, and they associate those features with a past version of themselves that felt vulnerable, unprotected, or unloved. To fix this, they build a synthetic avatar, thank you social media for this false image. They hide behind a manufactured image that they can fully control because their actual body feels unsafe. The real proof of this crisis comes when the attachments have to come off.

Do they love who they see in the mirror

The women didn't expect too much from men and could also share the little they had with men. That is the summary. Standards were different though, no human hair and stuffs, so getting a babe a snacks or food (no need to take out) was good enough.

Okay I see. I think people understood gender roles too. Material things have taken control over us that a woman would fall for you back then for your oratory than your money because....

Men's value has been in providing. Because we have dumbed this thing down, we have killed men and women are now men while men are now women.

It is the hunting nature of men that made them make him feel hungry and fight for more. It's not a mistake.

Once you kill his instinct, you destroy the family system and structure because the time and energy the woman is supposed to use to nurture will now be diverted to survival and provision. If you look at what is going on today and badly raised children, it's because the two parents are now outside hustling for survival and women are no longer taking roles that fit women and allow them flex time. At the end of the day, we can see that money can help us with feeding but money cannot buy character, it can't buy parenting, it can't buy childhood, it can't buy manners, it can't buy responsible behaviours, it can't buy etiqueta. On the WAEC thread, some people were calling on government but they forgot that during their own time, it's not government that disciplined you. Your parents were government but when the man and woman are no longer able to parent, what do you expect? You've been sold a lie.

The more you act like a man, you make a man take the back seat.

Never help a man too much, you will kill his hunting spirit.

a woman is a man who doesn't have to be a man.

a man is a woman who is not allowed to be a woman.

We may tell men to take care of themselves but let's be careful of not turning our men into sissies. It's dangerous for our sisters and daughters please.

In my opinion, it is more of a Nigerian/ West African thing. I might be wrong.
Back in the days it wasn't always like this.

What was it like back in the days? Care to describe?

Men will even feel guilt for collecting from you when they think about how much that thing costs and why you had to spend on them.

He has the right to feel this way though because a man's pride is his ego. He would not want to be indebted to you or let you use him as your charity case. This is why as a man you need to be sensitive to married women and daughters of responsible daddies because how you do things to his family has more impact than what you do. IYKYK

What about their school testimonials. Which the school is going to withheld. Omonthose yeye kids don enter

You still are not looking at this as an adult. I ignore the insults because that has nothing to do with the issue. I don't know if you read my other comments on this thread. The truth is, what they did has nothing to do with WAEC. It's just adults looking for a way to punish them but when we look at it objectively, it is nothing to do with their conduct. For example if one of them is discovered to be pregnant and the classmate did it, will they call on WAEC? This is more of a parenting issue than anything else.

When some graduands started doing new things on stage to collect their certificates, the higher institutions started updating their rules and put it as a condition of collecting their certificates. This incident has nothing to do with the exam.

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
You guy5are not smart..
You think school is all about passing exams and moving on to the next level. If you fail in character and in learning, nothing for you. No certificate will be issued. For that reason, those kids are in serious problem.

Character is not what WAEC examines unfortunately and they did not do this in the exam hall. Any smart person should be able to know the difference

SixSeven:
Do you remember Michael Jackson's wear in Brazil? That's what Davido imitated. Olodum(are)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNJL6nfu__Q

The significance of Olodum to Michael Jackson lies in their monumental 1996 collaboration on "They Don't Care About Us," which transformed the track from a standard pop song into a global anthem of political resistance and anti-racism.

"They Don't Care About Us" is a raw, fast-paced protest anthem that attacks systemic oppression, racism, government corruption, and police brutality. Unlike Michael Jackson’s more optimistic unity anthems like "Heal the World," this track takes a stark, confrontational approach. Driven by a aggressive, military-style drumbeat and defiant vocals, the lyrics voice the anger and helplessness felt by marginalized communities. It positions Jackson as a spokesperson for the disenfranchised, directly challenging the political institutions that abandon the vulnerable.

While "They Don't Care About Us" stalled at number 30 in the US due to controversy, it became a massive top-ten hit across the globe and hit number 1 in countries like Germany and Italy.


The song talks to most governments in the world, including the current Nigerian government if you listen to it properly.

👆 Listen to these Sonny Okosun songs and tell me if he is still not speaking to government today

What I can now say is that the 90s had more inspirational and influential songs, the artistes cared more about the society so they used their lyrics and songs to change the society. Though this started from late 70s, the 2000s were more conscious of themselves and material things so songs started losing meaning from that era. Your oppressors in government are today dancing with you to nonsensical music that has no message and no reminders. Dem no born them well back then to dance to the songs that reminded them of what they have not done. 90s was the end of it IMO. Children today don't even have any inspirational child friendly songs, they now shake their yansh from age 4

Late 2000s that was influential. It was the period of Plantashun Boiz but our artistes were mimicking the US artistes. Only KUSH's song had meaning here because I think they released after the riot in Jos or Kaduna, I can't really remember but it was a riot in Northern Nigeria. Anyone who remembers can correct me

Read below 👇
The Nigerian government did not publicly release the names of most terrorism sponsors during the eight-year presidency of Muhammadu Buhari (2015-2023), despite frequent claims that lists had been compiled.

In early 2022, Buhari's Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated that the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) had uncovered 96 financiers, 424 associates, and 123 companies backing Boko Haram and ISWAP, but the administration withheld the specific names citing ongoing intelligence operations.

The list of 15 entities (9 individuals and 6 Bureau De Change operators) was officially published in March 2024 by the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NSC) under President Bola Tinubu's administration. In April 2026, the government expanded this campaign, announcing an updated list containing 48 individuals and groups (including figures like Simon Ekpa and IPOB), alongside concurrent terrorist financing designations by the United States.

Public skepticism toward Nigeria's list of 48 terrorism sponsors stems from a lack of transparent, verifiable data and the absence of high-profile political names. When the Nigeria Sanctions Committee released the list, they omitted critical identifying information such as photographs, genders, and the specific roles these individuals played within insurgent networks. Because many of the names are incredibly common in Nigeria, publishing them as plain text without context makes them indistinguishable from everyday citizens, creating a widespread belief that the list consists of fabricated or irrelevant names.

Furthermore, the public expected the unmasking of powerful political "masterminds"-such as corrupt elite officials or wealthy financiers-who have long been rumored to bankroll regional insecurity. Instead, the list is primarily populated by obscure, low-level financial couriers and regional Bureau De Change operators who are entirely unknown to the general population. Coming on the heels of secretive mass trials held behind closed doors, this focus on minor logistics operators rather than top-tier architects has led many Nigerians to believe the government is intentionally withholding the names of the true elites driving the crisis.

WAEC Nigeria os not a separate entity, WAEC is a single entity, it is not under the federal government as it not fully funded by the government ( just 15%) . Nigeria is just a regional member which has a local branch just like the other west African countries. Supreme Court don settle this matter tey tey . Regards

WAEC is the examining body (the organization), while WASSCE is the actual exam (the test) administered by that organization. You cannot register to write "WAEC" instead, you register to write the "WASSCE" but I understand how we can mix them up sometimes. The exam is taken in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Liberia.

WAEC is not under the control of the Nigerian Federal or State Ministries of Education, it is an independent, international supranational organization. However, it maintains a close partnership and collaborative relationship with the Ministry of Education.

We are saying the same thing but I just wanted to put this out there.

i understand what you are saying, but the state cannot withhold their results, only the West African Examination council can, and its has to be strictly on violence or examination malpractice

Under the official guidelines of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), results are strictly withheld based on examination malpractice, testing irregularities, or unresolved institutional debts. WAEC operates under rigid legal frameworks that explicitly define when a result can be flagged, reviewed, or cancelled.

WAEC is an exam, it only has control over what happens to its exams, not school life.

As much as I detest the behaviour and know it's bad and should be discouraged, I do not think they have the powers to withhold their WASSCE results on this basis. I stand to be corrected.

Per the West African Examinations Council convention, only WAEC has the ultimate constitutional authority to release, cancel, or formally withhold examination results. WAEC rules state that results can only be officially withheld due to examination malpractice, irregularities, or mass collusion during the testing process. Extracurricular behavioral issues or misconduct after the exams do not fall under WAEC's technical grounds for result cancellation

Football business is serious business and I know if they put money into it, it can create jobs for the economy beyond the football clubs. Imagine on match days all restaurants are open, hotels are booked and so much more for a game. It's sad how the government has not helped with the basics.

A well-funded Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and domestic football ecosystem could inject an estimated $3 billion to $4 billion annually into Nigeria's economy, potentially accounting for up to 5% of the nation's GDP.

Reliable, safe, and highly attended matches throughout a 38-game season would require consistent travel, boosting local airlines, regional transport companies, and hotel occupancy rates every weekend. On match days, a massive micro-economy would thrive outside the stadiums, providing stable, recurring income for food vendors, merchandise manufacturers, security firms, and local small-to-medium enterprises.

Furthermore, by offering highly competitive salaries, the league would slow down the "talent drain" (often called the japa phenomenon) that sees the country's best young players flee to low-tier leagues abroad. Instead, these athletes would stay in Nigeria, build personal wealth, and formalize a sustainable career path through expanded, high-quality grassroots youth academies

Private investments would shift the heavy financial burden of stadium maintenance away from struggling state governments, leading to the construction of modern, state-of-the-art sports complexes and world- class training facilities. The development of these massive arenas often serves as an anchor for local communities, driving the upgrade of surrounding real estate, public road networks, and municipal utilities in major Nigerian cities.

Well, this one has a father that I know and she respects and adores him too. One of the reasons I even like her but the pastor this and that is bugging.

That's concerning

I don't understand women who see them as better placed than their own dad or men

I think it's them being carried away by sainthood and believing the spiritual father is almost sinless

I don't even have a problem with that, I think they should know when to say it's okay and know who the man is to their life. This is why some people are fearful of over religious people. They don't know when to stop and use common sense. Maybe the fear of hell is it.

Nobody gave victory to Tinubu. It's the INEC and the Nigerian Judiciary arm twisted Nigerians by handing over the victory to Tinubu. He didn't win the election. Many individuals have affirmed that.

No region can produce Nigeria's president alone. If all the Southerners vote Tinubu/Obi, they can't make him president, if all the Northerners vote Atiku, they can't make him president.

I don't need no damn Sunday Igboho When I have a government whose job is to provide security to its people

No be only you. Three years ago, while I was asleep with my babe in my room, a snake crawled in(till today I don't know how it got in). I went directly under my ribs and stayed there for sometime( due to my warmth body). I got shocked and screamed. Turned on the light and saw it. Omo na so I take jump untop chair leave the snake for my babe to kill o. If you see the drama that night e reach to enter Guinness world record.... My babe laughed me all through the night till night after she killed it

OMG. So your babe killed it for you?

I went directly under my ribs and stayed there for sometime( due to my warmth body).

Please reword this. I don't want to assume what you wrote because snakes like warmth from my little understanding, so you were even making the situation worse unknowingly

It was quite scary.

My neighbour's son raised an alarm that afternoon shouting that a snake had just entered the compound through the hole beneath our gate.

I came out of my flat and saw it moving across the compound, it wasn't moving very fast because the ground is German floored. There was nothing nearby to strike it at that moment so I instructed the boy to stay calm, keep a safe distance and keep an eye on the snake.


I rushed outside to get some stones, but by the time I returned, the snake was nowhere to be seen. I asked the boy where it had gone and he pointed to my dish pole leaning against the fence. I was surprised because I couldn't see anything there. It wasn't as if the fence pillar had a hole in it.

The boy kept insisting that the snake was hiding behind the pole. I threw a few stones at the spot hoping it would come out, but there was no sign of it. It was as if the snake had vanished because I used few seconds to get the stones.

Luckily, my wife was boiling water in the kitchen, so I asked her to pour some into a bowl and bring it to me. I poured the hot water around the base of the pole, and the creepy creature suddenly sprang out.

It seemed to be both preparing for a fight and trying to escape at the same time.
That was when I realised it was a cobra because it spread its hood in that trademark cobra style.

The first stone I threw broke its spine, and I finished it off with more stones.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this. It was a very interesting piece to read. This means the hot water helped you before it started dancing like a snake. Now that you think of it, have you had any ideas that next time you see a snake what would you do? eg cobras are venomous, were you thinking about it that you could have been injured or something like that when we start thinking about what we just did

BTW let me share this episode with you, it was very educational. It was quite revealing to me to learn Nigeria has a lot of snake bites and antivenom experts but our government is an unserious one. The oyinbo will not invest in what doesn't bring money for them👇

Be like na you really understand wetin be the issue. Although the op used "Good/Church girls " but from his write up you will understand he actually meant real religious girls as in believers not just your regular church girl who are 99% OS playing a "Church"game. Those truly religious girls are something else. I was close to one a certain time, she was never rude to me sha, didn't play hard cos she even confessed she's always dreamt of settling with a certain kind of guy and I fit it perfectly even with all my wahala that she's aware of but I noticed she was trying to put me under the pastor like before she makes any decisions concerning us, it's pastor said this or pastor said that, I tried to let her understand I'm not under the influence of no man but God himself and this girl still went on to say I need to be led by the man of God, na there I realize say the matter deep. She's almost perfect in her ways, good, nice beautiful small from a good home too but that running everything through the pastor is not my thing and I even let the so called man know too as I still have knowledge of the word and when he preaches I ask him questions that even throws him off balance sometimes, then he started drawing me close and I had an important role in the church that some ladies started referring to me as a pastor but it didn't change anything. And another thing I noticed she was good at keeping malice with her friends anytime there's fallouts with them. And one time I said something I shouldn't have said cos I didn't think she would take it the wrong way omoor the anger no be here. She would even see me in church and walk past me lol... I had to apologize over and over again. Just because you know say you be virgin and good small so I have to crawl for you all the time. I had to give her space. We were always seen together but then people were quick to see the changes and I didn't care as some were asking me questions towards that. I only started talking to her recently though but I don't really think I can go far with her on those her wahala but then nobody's perfect abi?

But I believe a religious girl (not the extreme ones) are better than church girls cos the church girl most time is a playa in disguise except God just help you meet one who's truly good. My believe though

Do you think these women lack fatherly figure? Or let me reword, responsible father figures? Because I think if they have a man in the house, they don't need another man outside to guide them. What do you think?

Interesting but how much was the league prize in 2010 ?

Zero prize money

SixSeven:
There wasn't even a prize money in 2010 when Kano Pillars won it with Ahmed Musa's goal scoring season. It was just 3 years ago they started giving money. Enyimba officially received N100 million in cash after winning the NPFL Championship Super-6 Play-offs in Lagos. It went from 100 to 150 to 200 to 1bn now
