The Idejo Chiefs: Eternal Awori Landowners of Lagos The Idejo chiefs, children of Olofin Atekooye, are indisputably Awori and the eternal landowners of Lagos. Their territories, granted by Olofin, are the focus of this narrative and do not encompass all Awori lands in Lagos State. The 1921 Privy Council Judgment affirmed their communal usufructuary titles, countering the "no man’s land" claim. Under no circumstances should these chiefs—especially the Ojora family—be disrespected; disrespecting them is disrespecting all Aworis. Their Awori identity and land rights, rooted in Olofin’s legacy, must be upheld forever. Below are the chiefs and their domains in contemporary Lagos: Idejo Chiefs (Children of Olofin Atekooye): 1. Oloto: Owns Iddo and parts of Lagos Mainland (e.g., Oto-Awori, behind National Stadium, Iwaya), the heart of Awori heritage. A kingmaker, Oloto’s eternal rights are affirmed despite disputes ([P.M. News, 2021]( 2. Aromire: Owns Old Ikoyi on Lagos Island, including Aromire Road, a cultural hub. A kingmaker, his eternal land rights shape Isale Eko ([ 3 Olumegbon: Owns Ajah, Okun Ajah, and Lekki Peninsula (e.g., Mosafejo, Ogoyo). An advisor, his overlordship is legally backed ([The Nation, 2022]( 4 Elegushi: Owns Ikate, Lekki, including Elegushi Beach, extending to Ojota, Osapa. Now an Oba, his lands face development pressures but remain Awori ([Lagos State Govt, 2020]( 5. Onitolo: Owns Ebute Meta West, Ipaja, Surulere (e.g., Onitolo St). A kingmaker, his eternal rights are marked by community presence ([Nigeria Zip Codes]( 6. Onitana: Owns Lagos Island, neighboring Aromire’s domain. A key kingmaker and advisor, some Onitana are elevated to Oba status, their Awori land rights eternal. 7. Onikoyi: Owns Ikoyi, Lagos. A kingmaker, his domain is now affluent, forever Awori ([Wikipedia, Ikoyi]( 8. Ojora: Owns Ijora on Lagos Mainland. Indisputably Awori, Ojora’s 2022 court victory reclaimed land at Plot 235/237, Moshood Abiola Way, proving their eternal rights. Disrespecting Ojora is disrespecting all Aworis; their history must not be rewritten ([Tribune Online, 2022]( 9. Oniru: Owns Victoria Island and parts of Lekki. Now an Oba, his eternal Awori land rights face reclamation disputes ([City People, 2021]( 10. Oluwa: Owns Apapa Peninsula. A kingmaker, his 1921 Privy Council victory affirmed his eternal Awori title ([Amodu Tijani, 1921 ( 11. Onisiwo: Owns western Lagos, including Tomaro, Abagbo, and islands like Tarkwa Bay, Agbagbo, Itomaro. An advisor, his eternal rights are noted in disputes ([The Sun Nigeria, 2022]( Note: The Idejo chiefs are Awori landowners forever, as granted by Olofin Atekooye. The "no man’s land" narrative is a falsehood; recent court rulings and Omo Eko Pataki’s advocacy ensure their lands remain with rightful Awori owners. Disrespecting any Idejo, especially Ojora, is an attack on Awori heritage and will not be tolerated. Source: 1921 Privy Council Judgment and historical records. Signed: Baba Awori

Lagos is one of the fastest-growing cities in Africa, and with its rising population comes an increasing demand for decent and affordable housing. For years, this demand has outpaced supply, contributing to a housing crisis that pushes many residents into overcrowded areas and expensive rent markets. But the ongoing housing projects across the state are gradually shifting that narrative. With developments like this new 233 housing units at Abraham Adesanya Housing Estate in Ajah and the recently commissioned 420-unit Akinsanya Sunny Ajose Housing Estate in Ajara, the Lagos State Government is not just increasing housing stock—it is creating real opportunities for more residents to become homeowners. One of the most impactful ways this is happening is through state-subsidized housing schemes, where the government partners with private developers to reduce construction costs, making the final price more accessible to middle- and lower-income earners. These initiatives help bridge the affordability gap that stops many Lagosians from owning homes. Beyond building houses, Lagos state is setting a standard for structured urban development, accountability, and public–private collaboration. Lagos is proving that with the right policies, political will, and consistent investment, African cities can take bold steps to address housing shortages and give citizens a pathway to ownership and dignity.

Omo, Ikorodu people are seriously suffering o. A bridge from Ikorodu to the Island would reduce the journey to about 30 minutes max. The proposed bridge costs about $2.5 billion, though, and the President has been pushing for this bridge, as well as the VGC Bridge. I don't know why it still hasn't been done. The government can try building a cheaper version of the bridge. It doesn't have to include all these expensive features. The important thing is to help Ikorodu residents avoid the long daily commute. However, no matter the version they choose to build, they should retain the fishwave design sha 😅. We need more iconic bridges in Lagos because they eventually become landmarks, just like the Ikoyi Cable-Stayed Bridge. Honestly, Dr. Hamzat is goated. He came up with this design alongside Engr. Mide Adeyoye, just as he did with the Ikoyi Bridge. That's why I keep saying he must not sleep on his own portfolio. The world needs to know how brilliant and experienced he is in road and infrastructure development. A deputy governor aspiring to become governor cannot remain in a ceremonial position. You need to show yourself more. But then again, this bridge would make developers rush to Ikorodu. They have plenty of land there, and it would become another major real estate corridor. Rent prices would definitely rise over time. They should sha build a cheaper version if cost is the issue,but please keep the same design. It will slap.

I am delighted to announce that the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources has taken delivery of 10 brand new waste compactor trucks generously donated by the Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority in a ceremony that demonstrates the power of inter-ministerial collaboration and corporate social responsibility. This donation comes at a crucial time when we are scaling up our waste management operations to match the reality of a megacity that generates over 13,000 tonnes of waste daily. Let me be clear: we have moved decisively beyond the outdated collect-and-dump model into a sustainable zero-waste economy where waste is viewed as a valuable resource. We have signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding with local and international partners that will divert close to 5,000 metric tonnes from the daily waste stream through recycling, reuse, and resource recovery. These 10 new compactors will be strategically deployed to critical locations experiencing high waste generation and to communities that need enhanced evacuation services. They will improve our turnaround time, support the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, and help us sustain the cleaner Lagos we are building. I commend the Chief Executive Officer of the Lottery and Gaming Authority, Mr Bashir Abiola Are, for this commendable gesture that aligns perfectly with the vision of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat for a cleaner and more sustainable Lagos. I use this opportunity to call on other public institutions, private sector organizations, and corporate stakeholders to emulate this example because the task of keeping Lagos clean requires all hands on deck. Together, we will deliver a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

So, this is one of the most detailed videos of the Lagos Blue Line phase 2. It’s quite lengthy, but I encourage you to watch it till the end. The prioritisation of Rail transportation by the Sanwo-Olu-led administration is beautiful to see. This particular corridor is a major international trading corridor, with many Nigerian and Asian traders operating along it. Even the road you see is expected to be transformed into a 10-lane superhighway, which the governor has already hinted at. That is why some areas, including sections occupied by traders, are being cleared. The Blue Line runs from Marina to Okokomaiko. The first phase is already operational, while work on the second phase is ongoing. The extension will serve stations at Mile 2, Festac, Alakija, Volkswagen, Alaba International Market, Trade Fair, LASU and Okokomaiko. These stations will serve traders, 9-to-5 workers, small businesses, visitors and residents along the corridor. The line covers LG areas including Amuwo-Odofin, Ojo, Oriade and Orile Iganmu, among others. Many people living along this corridor commute daily to work on the Island, while others depend on the major markets along the route. I really commend the government for this multi-billion-dollar investment in rail transportation. However, rail does not replace road infrastructure. The next administration must make road rehabilitation a major priority. In the first four years, there should be a determined effort to get Lagos roads into best conditions. Why? Because many rail users are 9-to-5 workers, small business owners and visitors, but major investors, CEOs and top executives will still drive. When you bring investors into a city, the roads, environment, landscaping, greenery, public spaces and overall appearance all matter. The Green Line is another example. Its Phase 1A will have about eight stations, with flyovers and pedestrian infrastructure helping to separate road traffic and pedestrian movement from the rail corridor totally 8 U shaped Flyovers and Pedestrian sky walks. The more quality road infrastructure we have, the better the quality of life in Lagos. This is why the next administration should prioritise roads, bridges, public transportation, cleanliness, beautification and public spaces together. Ensure the BRT works properly, ensure the trains run efficiently, but please don't neglect the environment. Sometimes Govt wonder why Lagosians don't appreciate government projects despite the huge investments being made. The answer is simple: people judge government by how their quality of life changes in real time. Lagos has a massive population and serious congestion problems. Every new road, bridge, flyover, public space or environmental improvement directly affects millions of people. Every government must study its environment and understand what its people actually need. In Lagos, road infrastructure is not a luxury,it is one of our biggest needs. So I want to encourage the government to start flagging off more road projects urgently, continue the bridges that have already started, and find ways to fund and complete them quickly eg the VGC Bridge. If we can combine the Green Line, Blue Line, Red Line, BRT, new roads, bridges, flyovers and a cleaner, better-maintained environment, the quality of life in Lagos will skyrocket. This government is doing a lot. Let’s get the remaining basics right too. God bless our government, and God bless the good people of Lagos. 🙏🏾🇳🇬 Babajide Sanwo-Olu Obafemi Hamzat Damilola Sonayon James Seyi Tinubu ENIOLA BADMUS I am Dayo Amusa Lagos Min of the Environment and Water Resources The Lagos State Govt LASEPA Oluwaseun Osiyemi Tokunbo Wahab Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure Funke Akindele Oluwaseun Osiyemi Kolawole Ojelabi Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority LAMATA LAWMA LAWMA Customer Care 📷: A detailed documentary of the Lagos Blue Line phase 2 running from Mile 2- Okoko 🚅

The United States and Britain once came close to war over the San Juan Islands because an American settler shot a pig. It sounds ridiculous, but the story explains why this group of islands between Washington and Vancouver Island ended up in the United States. San Juan Island had been Coast Salish homeland long before either country started arguing over it. The dispute came from the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which placed the international border through the channel separating Vancouver Island from the mainland. Two channels fit that description, and the San Juan Islands sat between them. Britain favored the channel east of the islands. The United States favored Haro Strait to the west. Both interpretations put the islands on their side of the border. The Hudson's Bay Company established Belle Vue Sheep Farm on San Juan Island in 1853, strengthening the British presence. American settlers followed. Then, on June 15, 1859, Lyman Cutlar found a pig rooting through his potato patch and shot it. The pig belonged to the Hudson's Bay Company. What should have been a dispute between neighbors escalated quickly. American settlers asked the U.S. military for protection, and Captain George Pickett arrived with 64 soldiers. Four years later, Pickett would become famous for a very different reason at Gettysburg. Britain responded with warships. By the end of August, 461 American troops were on San Juan Island with 14 field cannons. British naval forces nearby had 52 guns. Both sides were armed, but neither wanted to fire first. President James Buchanan eventually sent General Winfield Scott west to settle things down. Britain and the United States agreed to jointly occupy the island until the border dispute could be resolved. For the next 12 years, American soldiers lived at one end of San Juan Island while British Royal Marines lived at the other. The two garrisons visited each other for Christmas, the Fourth of July and Queen Victoria's birthday. They competed in athletic contests, drank together and held dances that included people from the local community. The Americans stayed at what became known as American Camp. The British established English Camp on Garrison Bay about 13 miles away. The border question was finally sent to international arbitration. In 1872, Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany sided with the American interpretation and placed the boundary through Haro Strait. The San Juan Islands became part of the United States. British Royal Marines left English Camp later that year. The last American troops eventually departed too. The only casualty of the Pig War was the pig. You can still visit both camps today. American Camp spreads across open prairie and shoreline at the southern end of San Juan Island. English Camp sits on Garrison Bay among forest and surviving historic structures. Friday Harbor is where the ferries arrive today. On the western side of the island, Lime Kiln Point looks across Haro Strait toward Vancouver Island. Its lighthouse has stood there since 1919, and the shoreline is well known for whale watching. Haro Strait is also the channel at the center of the old border dispute. Stand at Lime Kiln Point looking toward Canada and you're looking across the boundary Britain and the United States spent decades arguing over. That little bit of history is one of the reasons I'd want to spend time here. It gives you something else to notice beyond the ferries, water and islands.
