There is intense heat everywhere but many people don't know that this is due to climate change. It is the sum result of how we have handled the environment. I'm not a prophet of doom but things will get worse if we fail to take responsible actions to protect the environment NOW!
Without doubt, the Otedola bridge near Berger has been the scene of fire accidents and petrol tanker explosions more than any other bridge in Lagos, and the Ojuelegba flyover in Surulere probably holds the record for containers dropping off the back of trailers
For over one week, @GOtvNg has been off-air, and @DStvNg hasn't come out to say anything, nor send a message to subscribers. No mention of what happened; what's happening or what will be done. This is a total disregard for customer satisfaction and rights. @fccpcnigeria

Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.
Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.
No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.
After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.
Know your postcode: postcode.gov.ng
Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map.
My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister @bosuntijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible.
Thank you to the NIPOST @nipostngn family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.

The height of small mindedness is someone going online to say "I'm the first Nigerian celebrity to buy I-phone 18 pro max."
I wanted to unsettle my daughter, so I asked her, "are you really my daughter?" I told her not to rush to answer, but to reflect on the question and even interprete it anyhow. Just reflect
The poor girl has been trying to make sense of it, not knowing I am only cruising
My barber supports Man U, and I'm a staunch Chelsea fan. He's an 'Obidient' while I support another party and candidate. In spite of these differences, we discuss politics and football very well without any bad blood, and treat each other with respect
Why do some people think it is okay to listen to music or play video on your phone with the loudspeaker on, especially in public spaces? Earbuds and earpieces exist for a reason.
Things are very expensive, and staying in business is harder than ever. Many people now cut corners to make profit. So, you've to be careful how you beat outside. Many food sellers now use questionable ingredients. No be to chop-chop everytime, everywhere o.
Brazil-Norway match is ongoing. I went into the kitchen to get a drink, and thru my kitchen window I could hear that my neighbours are watching a Nollywood film. I felt sorry for the husband because who watches African Magic while a World Cup match is on.
To all parents caring for children with special needs:
We know it is very tough, and can be overwhelming. We admire and respect your strength, courage and resilience. May you find reasons to smile.

Nigeria is really a study in absurdities. Imagine Seyi Makinde, sitting governor of Oyo State, voted into power on PDP ticket, went ahead to declared for, and was nominated as, Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate. In essence, he's a member of 2 political parties
Tell me one thing you cannot be caught doing.
For me as a guy, I can never be caught using an umbrella on a sunny day
Power supply is pretty good in my hood. Tho I have a generator, I've not used it in almost a year, and I've not seen any reason for a solar inverter. There was a major fault & no power for four days, now I can't imagine what people who live in areas with no power for days go thru
There is an inexplicable good feeling that comes with you knowing that you have an input in someone's success story, even if you are not acknowledged
I've n't been feeling good, all day. Love for my students made me stay back, especially as their examination is here. I've done everything today with body ache and high temperature. Just as I got ready to leave, a very heavy downpour began. No regrets still. I love my students

I remember when Etisalat Nigeria came to my school during SUG Week. They were selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a brand-new car.
You needed to see how everyone was buying tickets. Even me sef, I bought 5 tickets. Who no wan win free motor? 😂
But there was this particular guy who went all out and bought about 20 tickets.
On the day of the raffle draw, the organizers spun the tickets and picked a winner. The first winning ticket landed on this guy, but he was nowhere to be found.
They picked a second ticket. It landed on him again.
They picked a third ticket. Still him.
By this point, the crowd was already going crazy. People ran to his hostel looking for him, only to discover that he had travelled home for the weekend to see his parents.
After several attempts to reach him failed, the organizers had no choice but to draw another winner.
This time, the ticket belonged to a guy who had bought just one ticket.
He showed up, collected the car, and throughout my remaining years in school, I saw him driving that car everywhere.
Till today, I still wonder how the first guy must have felt each time he saw that car on campus, knowing it could have been his.
Life can change in a single moment. May we never be absent when our moment comes. 🙏
