Earlier today, Mr. John Ehidreme, 56, was arrested for illegally dumping refuse into a drainage channel at No. 18 Oluoga, Ikorodu.
The Lagos State Government reiterates that indiscriminate waste disposal is a violation of environmental laws, as it obstructs drainage channels, contributes to flooding, and poses significant public health and environmental risks.
Residents are urged to dispose of waste responsibly and use only approved waste management facilities.

Talking about VP from SW for Atiku the best would have been Aregbesola but same religion ticket is a No, so searchlight should move to Christians from Oyo and Osun axis.
Who do you think are the Christian politicians in the ADC from SW and can bring good votes as VP.
The reports of months of unpaid salaries and allowances of the staff of our diplomatic missions including immigration staff,and default in payments for rented offices abroad need to be addressed.The Minister of Finance and the CBN should save these staff and the country from international embarrassment.
I am just learning of HE President Buhari’s @MBuhari health situation. Your Excellency we all pray for your good health and speedy recovery. I appreciate the support you gave me in my current position during your time in office. Wishing you the very best.
I have taken over the leadership of Labour Party following Supreme Court judgement that sacked Julius Abure as national chairman -- Bashiru Lamidi Apapa
A ₦500 Trillion Nigerian Economy Is Possible, But We Must Move at Trumpian Speed
Over the years, I’ve argued that Nigeria’s greatest challenge is not a lack of ideas, but the absence of bold, coordinated, and visionary execution.
Earlier today, I presented our latest policy paper from the Public Sector Practice Group at Olisa Agbakoba Legal (OAL), this policy paper presents a roadmap for transforming Nigeria into a diversified, production-oriented economy capable of generating a ₦500 trillion national budget by 2026/2027.
This isn’t just ambitious, it’s necessary.
Our analysis, inspired in part by Acemoglu and Robinson’s “Why Nations Fail”, reveals that Nigeria’s chronic underperformance stems from extractive institutions that entrench power and wealth among a select few. If we are to unlock sustainable growth, we must urgently build inclusive institutions that give more Nigerians a stake in the future.
Our blueprint outlines two imperatives:
1. Restructure governance, true federalism, devolution of powers to states and LGAs, judicial independence, legal reform, anti-corruption, and public service overhaul.
2. Unlock sectoral value across the board:
- ₦85T from oil & gas (by shifting from Contract Oil to Development Oil)
- ₦65T via tax reform
- ₦50T from optimising public assets through MOFI
- ₦45T from critical minerals development
- ₦40T by activating "dead capital" through land/property reform
- ₦35T from the maritime/blue economy
- ₦30T each from aviation revitalisation and the digital economy
- ₦25T each from trade reform and local content enforcement
- ₦10T from space industry development
To achieve this, we must act with what I call "Trumpian speed"—decisive, concurrent execution across multiple sectors, streamlined bureaucracy, and full leverage of technology.
But policy success should not be judged in numbers alone.
- Does the market trader in Onitsha have more money in her pocket?
- Is food more affordable for the factory worker in Kano?
- Can the farmer in Benue access better healthcare and education for his children?
- Does the office worker in Lagos see a path to a better future?
These are the real metrics that matter.
With mounting global competition, a surging population, climate threats, and rising debt, Nigeria must act now. Reform is no longer a luxury. It is the moral imperative of our time.
Let’s build the Nigeria that works for everyone!
-OA.

@renoomokri@renoomokri Congratulations Ẹ̀gbọ́n mi. Ẹ kú ìṣe takuntakun. May God gives you wisdom and strength for the journey which you are about to embark on.
For the first time ever, the Central Bank of Nigeria declared a record-breaking surplus of $6.83 billion for the fiscal year 2024. This is the same bank that reported a ₦488 billion ($1.7 billion) deficit in the first quarter of 2020.
This unprecedented surplus is proof that the Tinubu reforms are leading to T-Gains.
But do not expect TV stations that have taken a business decision to be against President Tinubu to report this. Instead, they will bring Peter Obi to their studio to spew fake statistics. But they will not tell you that under Tinubu:
The Nigerian Stock Exchange achieved her highest record of crossing the 100,000 All Share Index in January of 2024, thus overtaking Argentina as the world's most profitable market
Capital inflow into Nigeria increased by 66.27% under this administration
The Federal Government facilitated a Nigerian carrier, Air Peace, to secure daily direct flights to London, which crashed ticket prices on that route
Nigeria achieved a record trade surplus of $14.31 billion in 2024
Achieved a 3.84% quarterly GDP growth in 2024
Lagos' GDP expanded from $100 billion to $259 billion
Even if you were against Tinubu because of ethnicity, religion, and region, please look at the facts above, and if they are true, reconsider your opposition.
