“God!!!! This Japa thing is not easy. I felt so much pity for my bolt driver this evening. Some women are so wicked, that you can call them the devil itself. This man lived in Canada for 11 years. I almost wept for him. I will break down if I go through this level of pain. He lost both parents while in Canada. After he lost his dad he was in so much disarray and had an argument with his wife. During the argument, he smashed her phone and that was it. She went to the police and accused him of rape and house arrest. He hired a lawyer, but it cost Him $7,000. Along the line, madam went to the police and told them that was not what happened. That they misunderstood her. Police refused that they must finish their investigation. After the investigation, all charges were dropped but the man’s life is already ruined. He went back home but things were broken already. A divorce will cost him $3,000 monthly for child support. He had to relocate to Nigeria. He might never see his children again. Scary. I had tears in my eyes.”

In a recent press conference held by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), exciting news was revealed regarding the much-anticipated Red Line metro system.
With the successful launch of the Blue Rail connecting Marina to Mile 2 earlier this year, the state government is now gearing up for the commercial operation of the Red Line in the second quarter of 2024.
Under the visionary leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Government is committed to prioritizing transportation and traffic management as part of its THEMES+ agenda.
The addition of the Red Line is a grand step towards offering efficient and sustainable mobility solutions while improving air quality and reducing emissions within Lagos. The construction of the Red Line’s five stations is progressing with full force, with completion scheduled for December. Following this, test runs will commence in the first quarter of 2024, paving the way for full commercial operations.
The Red Line’s introduction is expected to reduce traffic congestion on major routes and provide commuters with a reliable and comfortable transportation option.
Not stopping at rail systems, the Lagos State Government has also unveiled plans to introduce electric buses (EBs) to the city’s roads. Collaborating with Oando Clean Energy Limited (OCEL), the government has already deployed two electric vehicles (EVs) as part of a pilot program.
The aim is to test the feasibility of electric buses and eventually increase the fleet to over 1,000 buses within the next two years. This initiative will not only reduce emissions but also enhance overall sustainability of public transportation in Lagos.
Furthermore, LAMATA is exploring alternative fuel sources to power its vehicles. The agency is piloting the use of Clean Natural Gas (CNG) on selected BRT corridors, with 10 CNG buses already in operation. By bringing on board eco-friendly stock like CNG, biofuels, and electric buses, LAMATA aims to achieve the state’s vision of zero emissions by 2050.
The press conference also shed light on the progress of the Lagos Urban Train Projects (LUTP). LAMATA proudly announced the completion of the Blue Line, a fully electric rail system, and confirmed that civil works for the Red Line are set to conclude by the end of this year.
Test runs for the Red Line are scheduled for the first quarter of 2024. Reflecting on LAMATA’s achievements over the past twenty years Managing Director Engr. (Mrs) Abimbola Akinajo emphasized the agency’s commitment to developing an efficient public intermodal transport system.
With a focus on integration and reduced emissions, LAMATA envisions a future where all transport modes peacefully coexist, enabling stress-free travel and ensuring smooth commute for Lagos residents.
With LAMATA leading the way, Lagos is on the fore front to become a model for urban mobility in Africa. The future of transportation in Lagos is bright, and residents can eagerly anticipate the transformative impact of these initiatives on their daily commute.

A student of the University of Lagos has shared how a lecturer threatened him after he confronted him for wrongly grading him.
He shared this under a thread on the microblogging platform X, where they condemned the ruthless behavior of some university lecturers.
The student, who identifies as @lorde_law, mentioned that he had informed the lecturer that his 300-level first-semester exam was wrongly marked.
Instead of the lecturer looking into the grade to determine if it was indeed wrongly marked, he threatened him for pointing it out.
The student also emphasized the fact that lecturers barely do the right thing and highlighted how difficult they make learning in the university look for students.
“The entire University of Lagos. I can bet my life that 300l first semester insurance exams were wrongly graded and I’m ready to take this to any length. Only for the lecturer to threaten me after pointing it out. Hell I still remember the questions.
I remember how many time I found discrepancies in my grade accumulation. One time, they said I had no CA cos I didn’t write it. Lol Only to find my scripts in their pile of dirt besides their desk.
They’d rather die than do the right thing. We are fighting poverty, fighting the government, we also have to fight lecturers to at least do the right thing. Everything is stacked against the average Nigerian student in uni.”

An uncle to the late Sylvester Oromoni who passed away due to alleged bullying from senior students at Dowen College, Lagos, has spoken out two years after the tragedy.
In a series of tweets shared on the microblogging platform X, @perrieonoromoni revealed that one of the accused uncles told the father of the deceased to forget about the case.
An uncle to late Sylvester, @perrieonoromoni who passed away due to alleged bullying from senior student in his school, Dowen college, Lagos.
In a series of tweet shared on the microblogging platform X, noted that one of the accused uncle told the father of the deceased to forget about the case.
Recall that on the 1st of December 2021, it was reported that a 12 year old male student of Dowen college in Lagos was allegedly bullied to death by senior colleagues.
His uncle has now revealed online that it’s been two years but they never got justice.
He wrote;
“2 years!!! 2 years of pain, anger, excruciating emotional torment and non ending pursuit for justice. I have always known how corrupt and useless the Nigerian justice system is but I never imagined I’d experience it first hand. This boys father was told in court by one of the Accused uncle to forget about the case. Said they’ve got over a million dollars to fight and defend themselves till the world ends. An autopsy was carried out when sly died but was ordered to be done again in Lagos where not only was the result different, each of the families of Accused has their own pathologist present. We got to see how the Nigerian bar association tried to disrupt the case, how the judge called in sick almost every court date, how witnesses were intimidated and basically harassed by the army of lawyers of the 5 accused boys.”
A Nigerian man, identified as Mr Godwin Udoh, has shared a disheartening story of how the Nigerian police killed his wife while speaking in an interview in ‘Out of nowhere‘.
While narrating the incident that occurred on the 16th of September 2015, the man said that he and his family were returning from church when they were stopped by a police.
The police had stopped them and requested a sum of 2000 naira from him; however, he informed them that he does not have any money.
Another officer then asked them to go. Unexpectedly, the officer who initially stopped them, Corporal Musefiu Aremu, cocked his gun and shot at them from behind.
The flying bullets hit his jaw, spilt his right arm while the second bullet hit his wife who was carrying their eleven months old baby on the right hand side of her head and came out from the left hand side, causing her to die instantly.
He had no idea that some of the bullets had hit his wife until his kids informed him by saying “Daddy, mummy is dying.”
After finding out that he had lost his wife, he walked up to the officer who shot at them, drenched in his own blood and asked what he had done to deserve this.
The officers however fled the scene in their car, leaving him and his children on the spot.
Sharing the story on the microblogging platform X, @AbisolaAlawode wrote in the caption;
“A sad encounter with officers of the Nigerian Police Force changed the trajectory of Mr Godwin Udoh and his family’s lives. His wife was shot and killed by a police officer. He was also shot. After he recovered, he sued the police and a court asked them to pay him N100m… Get this, the CBN then came and said the police had exactly N553,880 in their account with them so they can’t pay Godwin. I couldn’t believe it. But it’s true. My prayer remains that Godwin gets the respite he and his family needs.”
Popular Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello, has revealed her standard answer to certain daring younger people who call her by her first name.
She made this revelation on a podcast episode where Stephanie Coker complained about younger people calling her by her name, saying it’s disrespectful and unpleasant.
Shaffy Bello, who is much older than Stephanie, was asked if she had felt and experienced the same thing.
In response, Shaffy Bello said that she is usually quick to admonish younger people when they do that.
She acknowledged that there are instances when it might be the result of upbringing or even differences in tribes, but she always makes sure to correct them with love.
Shaffy Bello also added that aside from younger people addressing her by her first name, she can’t stand them waving at her in the form of a greeting.
“Usually my response is very simple and I say it with love.
I call them and pull them closer and say, you haven’t earned the right to call me by name.
I have a child as old as you are and even if I don’t have children, you haven’t earned the right and you will never earn that right at your age to call me by name,” she said in part.

Nigerian rapper and singer Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck has apologized to a fan, few days after tagging her as an ashewo (prostitute).
He apologized for calling the lady names while speaking in a space with @the49thstreet on the microblogging platform X.
It was reported that Odumodublvck had responded to a fan who condemned his lyrics in ‘cast’ and in the process slut shamed her.
The interviewer had questioned Odumodublvck about how he felt when people called for him to be cancelled online.
Odumodublvck responded by saying things happen for a reason, adding that the cancel culture thing had been going on even before he joined twitter and he does not believe in it because everybody’s destiny is in God’s hand.
He also said that he should not have called the lady a prostitute, adding that even if she was, it was not in his place to address her as one.
Odumodublvck concluded by saying two wrongs does not make a right and he only reacted that way because he was triggered.
He said;
“Yesterday something happened and the whole Nigeria was talking about it and to be fair, calling that babe an ashewo, I should not have done it, it does not matter if the babe na ashewo two wrongs don’t make a right but that is life I was triggered and I overreacted e dey happen, people make mistake but it does not define the person.”
Popular Nollywood actress, Ruth Eze, has stated that Nollywood actors typically experience anxiety on set, which is why they avoid eating their colleagues’ food.
She claimed that because most movie actors seem to be afraid of being poisoned by someone, they either bring or purchase their own meals whenever they are filming a movie.
In a recent interview with The Punch, Eze revealed the startling information, pointing out that many Nollywood actors do not like one another.
She said;
“A lot of people don’t like to see others, especially in Nollywood in the eastern part of the country. We don’t like one another. I cannot expose my relationship, or who I am in love with.
There is no actor in Nollywood, especially in Asaba (Delta State), that one would buy food for on set and they would eat. Everybody is scared, because of how dangerous that side is. When one goes for any production, one is usually scared. So, in order to be careful, one has to buy one’s food.”
The actress went on to say that she is unable to marry a male actor due to their unethical behaviour on set.
Eze claimed that when female fans pay performers a visit, they frequently engage in improper behaviour with them on set, even the married ones.
In her words;
“I can never marry a colleague. I can marry a filmmaker, but not an actor. If you see the things they do on set while filming, even the married ones, you wouldn’t want to have anything to do with them. Other girls come to look for them, and some even bring food.
Imagine filming in Enugu and your family is in Asaba; you would see girls bringing food to them on set. Imagine being in love with such an actor and witnessing that. The only colleague I would have loved to get married to is already married.”
A fan of Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Pere Egbi has shared the reason why he announced the end of his relationship with Mercy Eke online.
The lady who identified as @Rainyzion shared it in a tweet on the microblogging platform X, attaching screenshots of messages between Pere and Mercy.
Recall that Pere had taken to social media to plead with fans to stop shipping him and Mercy, adding that they are no longer in a relationship with each other.
The fan however explained that Pere chose to announce the end of their relationship because shippers were sending him gifts in Mercy’s name.
She wrote in the tweets;
“Since y’all have decided not to leave Pere alone. Imagine shippers sending gifts to Pere wit a note like this. Only for Pere to find out it’s not from Mercy what do u expect him to do? It’s high time he put that disclaimer out there. So y’all should rest it’s not about the video on set.
He sent me what shippers sent to him and he thought were from Mercy. I decided to post these screenshots cuz some of you were already flying with narratives that it was cuz of the video. Hypocrites acting like they don’t chat with their faves Hypocrites rest! Wit ur faves everyday but Pere shouldn’t.”

In other news, a Nigerian lady, while offering an advise on how intentional people can be, revealed the thoughtful thing an okada rider did for his girlfriend.
While sharing the story on the microblogging platform X, the lady who identified as @mehreeee mentioned that she loved the man’s intentionality.
She began by sharing that the okada man stopped beside the salon where she was getting her hair done to purchase a dress for his girlfriend.
The dress he chose was beyond his budget, and when the lady offered to assist him by paying the remaining balance, he refused.
He then instructed the seller to hold onto the dress and his current cash, as he would return with the remaining balance in a few hours.
When she questioned him about it, he simply said it would give him more satisfaction to know that he bought it himself with his own money. Read here
“Yesterday, at a salon close to where I was braiding, an okada man stopped to buy a gown for his babe. He brought out his phone to show the seller if the gown would fit the babe in the picture and she said yes. Gown was 8k he priced it for 6k and she said that was the last price.
He gave her 6k & told her to give him an hour, he’ll be back with the 2k balance. I overheard their conversation, called him back and offered to balance the remaining 2k and he refused. I asked him why, he said I shouldn’t bother that it will give him more satisfaction knowing he bought it himself with his own money I love love You really do not need millions to be thoughtful and intentional to the people you love.”
Nigerian singer Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, better known as Oladips, has taken to social media to criticize his colleague Qdot for spreading news that he was alive.
Recall that few weeks ago, there were speculations that he faked his death as a PR stunt after Qdot shared a post confirming that he was still alive.
After his management released a post informing people of his sad passing, Qdot took to his page to assure people that his friend was still alive, causing netizens to doubt the initial statement and express outrage.
Oladips, who resurfaced some days later, promised to address the issue at the right time and explain his side of things.
In a recent update, Oladips went on his Instagram story to call out Qdot for making an uncalled assertion when he did not know whether it was true or not.
According to him, he had not spoken to Qdot in a while, and it was not in his place to confirm news that even his family was unsure about.
He wrote;
“I KNOW THERE IS CRUISE, THERE IS CLOUT, AND THEN THERE IS TRUTH …!!! @QDOT ALAGBE THE REASON WHY YOU POSTED “MY GEE IS ALIVE” AT A TIME MY FAMILY WAS UNSURE OF MY SITUATION IS SO APPALLING ; UNCALLED FOR, I DEY WHERE I DEY STRUGGLE WITH MY LIFE YOU DEY POST “MY GEE IS ALIVE”, UNNECESSARILY MISLEADING EVERYONE, MADE IT LOOK LIKE ME AND YOU JUST HAD A CONVERSATION, BRO I WENT THROUGH IT HARD; ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED, THE LAST TIME ME YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATION WAS
