More than six communities representing different streets and areas in Ajegunle gathered today Monday (18/6/2018) to do sensitization rally in the community.  The rally was to sensitized people to begin to come out and demand for free prepaid metres, fight against exploitative crazy bill and equally resist disconnection in the community. 

On Friday 8 June, 2018  I was opportune to attend a general meeting of an ongoing electricity campaign at Agbamu community situated in Alaba Area, a constituency that is under the All Progressive Congress (APC) led regime of Hon. Fatai Ajidagba (popularly known as Ajifat) Ifelodun Local Government Development Area (LCDA). 

Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb that is not far from explosion. Perhaps with the current reality it depicts danger. In short, if nothing practically is done to address this tension and incoming disaster that awaits this country, the repercussion will be hullabaloo and very enormous to manage. As things stand, the Nigerian economy is in total paralysis where all public corporations are in total coma and smorgasbord. 

Ajegunle - As 1929 was when thousands of women in Aba rose against the British colonial tax on the poor which was introduced by the British colonial Lords and Merchants to augment the colossal lost of the First World War 1914 - 18; so also today recorded in Ajegunle, Lagos. 

LAGOS - This year May Day for the United Labour Congress was significant. Thousands of the ULC members gathered under the Bridge at Ojuelagba on May 1st International Workers Day to demand for 96000 Naira new minimum wage.

The Pre May Day public symposium of the United Labour Congress (ULC) organized by the ULC Lagos Chapter held on Friday 30 April, 2018 at Air Port Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos; was a fire ball that tore the thick skin of the heavens. Agitated solidarity songs lit the hall immediately the program started at exactly 11:15am.

Probably more than 60  percent of them especially in most poor communities like in Mushin, Ajegunle, Shomolu, Agege etc have lost it totally for drugs, prostitution, thuggery, robbery etc in order to move on with life.  For hundreds of them both boys and girls, who have resorted to this path, see whatever they have preoccupied themselves with as a means to afford the missing opportunity of life.
