“If leadership fails, citizens must not fail and there lies the beauty and importance of democracy.”

Olusegun Obasanjo

(Former Nigerian President)

Dear ,

It's time for a recap of this month's

🗣️✨ We gathered 'round to discuss the impact of the fuel subsidy removal, and boy, did we have a blast!

🚴‍♂️ Cycling Mania with @OlajuwanO

: So, Olajuwano suggests we all become two-wheeled superheroes to combat the fuel price hike! 🦸‍♂️ He's all about embracing public transport and cycling. But hey, who's up for becoming a Tour de Nigeria champ? 🏆

@MartinEigbike's

Wild Ride: MartinEigbike took us on a rollercoaster of ideas! He wants to spice things up by liberating the fuel market. 🌶️🚀 Sounds like a wild ride! Who's ready for some fuel market fireworks? 🔥💥

DapoIbiyemi's

Gradual Gears: DapoIbiyemi pedaled his way to practicality with a slow and steady approach. 🗓️ He suggested phasing out the subsidy while adding some cool mitigation policies to the mix. 🛤️ Slow and steady wins the race, right?

💔 No Laughing Matter with

@nossky:

Nossky brought a dose of reality, reminding us that not everyone's laughing. He's right; it's not all fun and games when people are struggling. Let's keep empathy in mind as we talk fuel!

Kelvin's Fund-tastic Finale:

Kelvin wrapped up the show with an economic extravaganza! 💸💼 He stressed the importance of using subsidy funds effectively and efficiently. Now, who's up for playing money managers? 💼🎩

#EndSARS Coalition Demands Accountability

Our hearts are heavy as we remember the tragic events of

October 2020

when innocent lives were lost in the state-sponsored violence at Lekki Toll Gate.

The callous and insincere response from the Lagos State Government to the leaked memo approving the mass burial is disheartening. Our demand for transparency, accountability, and justice remains unwavering.

President Tinubu's Ministerial List: A Renewed Hope?

As per the amended Constitution, President Tinubu was obligated to submit his Ministerial List within 60 days of assuming office. Today marks the 60th day, yet the list has only 25 states represented. The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has mentioned that a second batch is forthcoming.

🤔 Is this not a violation of the Constitution? The question now looms: How will the Supreme Court rule if this matter is brought before them?

The nation awaits the outcome of this constitutional challenge. We will keep a close eye on developments, and we encourage you to stay informed about this critical issue.
