Feeling very grateful to be alive in a time and place where my children are all but guaranteed to grow up. I can’t imagine how difficult it was to be a mother (or child) 150+ years ago.

Amos Stanley Wynter Shackleford built his home here at 4, Lawrence Road, Ikoyi in 1950 but never lived here. Read; Amos Shackleford's bakery in Lagos is a fascinating piece of history!

FILLING THE EMPTY BARRELS In a different circumstance, we would have said “Nigeria happened” to a mechanical engineer doing the job of a generator mechanic. With sufficient influence, it is easy to take a throne on X as Nigeria's critic-in-chief and begin to pontificate about issues, pretending to know the problems while also pretending to have all the solutions. Of a truth, as a country we have failed our youths by the complete lack of opportunities but in everything, intention matters, and the horizon of your exposure also matters. I have attached here, photos of trailers and flatbeds that I built in Nigeria locally through Fred, a mechanical engineering graduate. If you zoom into some of the pictures, you'll see his label on the trailer beds. Fred builds trailers here in Lagos to international standards and has become highly successful at it. I used to be one of his customers until demand from West African countries began to dominate those of us patronizing him locally. Doing haulage business, I entered places I couldn’t have ever believed existed in Nigeria. In ASPAMDA, Trade Fair, there’s also Chuks. Chuks is a Mechanical Engineering graduate from LAUTECH. He developed a full catalogue of trailer CKDs until he became the biggest stockist known anywhere in the country. We buy 52-ton axles from Chuks, then get Fred to handle the entire mechanical design, metallurgical and material selection, full fabrication, and NDT locally. Nigeria engineering graduates have built this into a massive fabrication complex for trailers, making it possible to buy them at almost a half of the price of importing them. And not just trailers. We have guys who have mastered the craft of soundproofing heavy industrial generators while many of our graduates from different fields now venturing into auto-mechanic repair workshop business. Different strokes for different folks. While there are those who won’t be bothered, there are Nigerians putting in the grind without playing the blame game, in spite of the parlous state that Nigeria’s protracted poor governance has left the country in. It is not okay to paint all young Nigerians as unskillful, uncreative, unambitiuos or as and unemployable to portray our broken system. A few isolated, judgmental observations are an unfair assessment of the average Nigerian hustle and how much products of our universities do to make headway in spite of the militating socioeconomic barriers. As i know it, UI, LAUTECH, FUTA, UNIBEN, and Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike have solid engineering faculties, strongly backed with workshop-floor, hands-on practical experience. One of them built all the electricity transformers used on their campus, which is currently at the patent registration phase. This isn’t to say all is well with industrial and vocational training in Nigeria. Part of the problems can be traced to the derailment of the human capital objectives behind setting up polytechnics, and our society's disdain towards blue-collar jobs.

People who litter utterly confuse me. Not in a complicated way, but I am just like… how? How do you look at a beautiful field, a forest, a beach, nature in general, and think “yeah, this is where my empty packet belongs?” You’re a grown person… how?

When experts talk about proper soil compaction, it’s because it is absolutely critical to road construction. If the soil beneath the road is not properly compacted, it continues settling over time. As the ground loses stability, the road base begins to fail and that’s when potholes start appearing. What many people see as “asphalt failure” is often much deeper than that. In many cases, the entire road base is collapsing underneath the surface, causing the asphalt to cave in and create dangerous potholes. I recently noticed this along the Badagry Expressway, around the last lane near Trade Fair Complex. This situation needs urgent attention before it gets worse. Please share this video so it can reach the appropriate government authorities. This is not just an ordinary pothole it is a collapsing road base. #lagosnigeria #infrastructuredevelopment

At its core, most arguments for zoning Nigeria's presidency are tied to the fact that there's a presumption that some ethnic groups are superior. No one arguing for zoning is thinking of a Nok man or Jukun or Eggon, or Gbagyi man, etc when they say "turn of the North". They instinctively assume those groups don't matter. And don't factor in the fact that the argument for zoning does not satisfy or cater to those many other groups.

25 years ago, two guys tried to rob my mom at gunpoint. She shot one of them in the neck and the other ran off. That's when I decided to stop talking back to my mom. Happy Mother's Day!
