In a surprising twist that’s shaking Nigeria’s entertainment scene, rising stars T-Dollar and TobiNation have both been sentenced to six months in prison over charges of Naira mutilation. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The judgment was delivered on Thursday, May 8, 2025, by the Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after the pair pleaded guilty in court. Presiding over the case at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Justice Owoeye gave a six-month jail sentence, but also offered the duo a way out — a ₦200,000 fine in lieu of incarceration.

This ruling adds to the growing list of high-profile entertainers caught in the EFCC’s clampdown on Naira abuse. In recent months, the agency has scrutinized several celebrities, including controversial musician Portable, popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and stand-up comedian AY Makun, who recently shared his own experience with the agency’s investigation.

With the EFCC tightening its grip on public currency violations, this could mark a turning point in how celebrities handle public displays of wealth. The question on everyone’s lips: Is the era of carefree cash spraying over in Nigerian entertainment?

Mohbad’s Autopsy Sparks More Questions: Pathologist Suggests Medical Error, Not Hard Drugs

As the mystery behind Mohbad’s sudden death continues to stir public emotion, the long-awaited inquest has taken a dramatic turn. At the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, the final witness, forensic pathologist Dr. Uwom Eze, dropped major revelations that are now fueling even more questions. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

During the latest hearing, Dr. Eze — who conducted the second autopsy following public outcry — disclosed that Mohbad was not a drug ab, contrary to rumors that circulated after his death. Instead, he had only been given regulated doses of antihistamines and painkillers to treat what seemed to be severe discomfort.

But here’s where things got even more interesting.

When grilled about the injection Mohbad allegedly received before he died, Dr. Eze itted he couldn’t determine how it was istered. An injury on the late singer’s arm, initially thought to be connected, turned out to be superficial and possibly irrelevant.

“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury,” Dr. Eze stated.
“At the time I conducted the autopsy, the injury wasn’t even there… likely due to post-mortem changes.”

He also revealed that the advanced decomposition of the body made it impossible to pinpoint an exact cause of death. However, he suggested a “severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction” could have been triggered by something in the injection—possibly an allergic response.

Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Aloba, ed away on September 12, 2023, just hours after being treated at home by a nurse. He was buried the next day, sparking national outrage and demands for answers.

When questioned by the family’s legal counsel, Wahab Shittu (SAN), Dr. Eze described the nurse’s actions as likely being a case of “medical misadventure”—raising questions about negligence.

With the inquest now wrapped up, the coroner has promised to announce a verdict date soon. But the public remains restless, hoping for justice—and clarity—in one of Nigeria’s most haunting celebrity deaths.

After months of swirling rumors and silent tension, it looks like Annie Macaulay and Nigerian music legend 2Baba Idibia have finally closed the chapter on their marriage.

According to a new report shared by popular entertainment blogger Cutie Juls, Annie has officially signed the divorce papers, marking the end of one of Nollywood’s most talked-about love stories.

“Annie has signed divorce papers. Apparently, it was signed a few days ago,” the post revealed.

This update comes months after their low-key divorce announcement back in January 2025, which left fans stunned and speculating, as neither party publicly addressed the reasons behind the split.

Since then, Annie has been making bold, solo appearances — her energy looking like a woman stepping into a new era. Meanwhile, 2Baba is reportedly getting cozy with a new partner, Natasha Osawaru, and the spotlight on them just keeps getting brighter.

Though fans of the couple may be heartbroken, it seems both stars are moving on and redefining their lives — separately.

👀 Social media is buzzing:

Fans and followers are reacting to the news, with emotions ranging from shock to :

“This one pain me. I really thought they’d pull through.”

“Annie deserves peace and soft life. Let her glow up in peace abeg.”

“2Baba has always been a rolling stone… not surprised.”

Whether you're Team Annie, Team 2Baba, or just watching from the sidelines, this story is a reminder that even the most iconic love stories can come to an end.

In the ever-buzzing world of celebrity love stories, some chapters close with grace, while others linger in the whispers of what-could-have-been. This weekend, the spotlight belonged to Priscilla Ojo — daughter of Nollywood royalty Iyabo Ojo — as she said “I do” in a breathtaking traditional and white wedding ceremony to Tanzanian heartthrob and singer, Juma Jux. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The guest list sparkled with A-list stars, Big Brother Naija alumni, and Lagos high society. But the buzz didn’t end at the altar.

Shortly after the wedding went viral, Lil Kesh — former YBNL golden boy and Priscilla’s rumored ex from way back in 2019 — broke his silence in the most surprising way: with peace, maturity, and good wishes.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) , Lil Kesh wrote:

“Congratulations P Coco, God bless your union🤍”

Simple. Clean. No drama. But if you’ve been following the story, you know this one sentence carried years of unspoken speculation.

Let’s rewind a bit.

Back in 2019, tongues wagged when Priscilla starred in one of Lil Kesh’s music videos. Their chemistry was undeniable, and soon, social media had all but declared them lovers. While both parties kept it quiet, and Priscilla later dismissed the rumors, the streets never really let it go. Fans hoped. Others assumed. But neither ever confirmed a romance.

Now, in 2025, Lil Kesh’s graceful congratulatory message feels like the close of a chapter — not with bitterness, but with respect.

There’s something powerful about seeing two people move on, publicly and peacefully. It reminds us that not every rumored love ends in chaos. Sometimes, people simply grow, choose different paths, and still wish each other well from afar.

As Priscilla steps into this new chapter with Juma Jux, her fairytale continues — and Lil Kesh walks away from the story with his dignity intact, proving that there’s strength in silence and even more in kindness.

One thing’s for sure: the entertainment scene never sleeps, and neither do we. So while the wedding bells fade into memories, the echoes of that tweet? They’ll ring for a while.

This morning, the world awoke to news that shook the soul of Christendom.

Pope Francis, the people’s pope, has ed away at the age of 88 after battling a severe infection that led to pneumonia in both lungs. The Vatican confirmed his ing early Monday, ending a 12-year papacy that will forever be ed for its humility, comion, and bold reform. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

For many of us—Catholic or not—Pope Francis felt like a beacon of light in a world that often felt too dark. He was the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit pope, and the first to take the name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, a man known for his deep love for the poor. This was no coincidence. Pope Francis lived and led with that same radical simplicity, always walking with the lowly, always choosing mercy over judgment.

As he lies in state at St. Peter’s Basilica, thousands are expected to file past, whispering prayers and letting silent tears fall. His final resting place, however, will not be within the Vatican walls. In a break from tradition that feels so deeply in line with the man he was, Pope Francis will be buried at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome’s Esquilino district—a place where he often prayed quietly, away from cameras and fanfare.

The Vatican has also announced that the Conclave to elect his successor will not begin for at least 15 days, giving time for mourning, reflection, and for the Church to breathe in this monumental moment.

To say Pope Francis was just a religious figure would be limiting. He was a global conscience. A man who dared to speak uncomfortable truths in a world drowning in noise. A leader who embraced refugees, washed the feet of prisoners, and reminded us all—loudly, softly, and often—that love is the first commandment.

As we say goodbye, we don’t just grieve a leader—we grieve a spirit. A gentle father to many. A rebel in white robes. A voice that will echo long after the bells stop ringing.

Requiescat in pace, Papa sco.
May your legacy forever guide hearts towards peace, justice, and boundless comion.

"Wait, E-Money Is the Last Born?!" – KCee Spills Family Secrets in New Interview 🎤🔥

In a recent heart-to-heart on the Tea With Tay podcast, Nigerian music star KCee dropped some unexpected tea about his family—and fans are shook!

While most of us have only ever associated the Okonkwo family with the superstar duo KCee and his billionaire brother E-Money, it turns out there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

KCee revealed that they are 7 siblings in total—4 girls and 3 boys, with E-Money as the last born! Yup, you read that right. The flashy businessman and music mogul we all assumed was the big brother is actually the baby of the house.

In KCee’s words:

“We have four girls and three guys. Our first son is a pastor and lives in Abuja. He doesn’t like all the social media noise—he’s just doing his own thing. My sisters are all happily married, one of them lives in Italy with her family. As for me and E-Money, we’re so close that people think it’s just the two of us.”

💼 From Allawee to CEO: NYSC Corps Member Launches Okrika Biz with Just N77k

I absolutely love seeing young Nigerians taking bold steps, and this recent story gave me all the motivation I didn’t know I needed!

A vibrant corps member just turned her NYSC allowance of N77,000 into something much bigger — her very own okrika (thrift) business! 🙌 Eyes Of Lagos reports,

She took to her TikTok to proudly share her journey — from buying the thrift pieces, to washing and prepping them for sale, all by herself. You could literally feel her excitement and determination through the screen. Her caption read:

“POV: You decided to stop procrastinating and decided to start small with your N77k allawee. Way Maker, pls make a way for me. I have decided to start. Pls my brand, we are launching tomorrow.”

Whew! If that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will. In a time when many are complaining about the economy (and rightly so), she chose to bet on herself and start small. That’s the energy we love to see!

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start that business, launch that idea, or chase that dream — this is it.

Let’s show her some love and small businesses. After all, today’s thrift seller could be tomorrow’s fashion mogul. 💫

🎭 One Man, Two Stars? Ashmusy & Adanma Luke Caught in Alleged Love Triangle with Mystery Lover

Whew! The tea in the entertainment space just got hotter, and I couldn’t scroll past this one without diving into the gist.

Popular content creator Ashmusy and actress Adanma Luke are currently at the center of a swirling online buzz — and it’s all over one man. Yep, you heard that right. According to the infamous gossip blog Cutie Juls, both women have allegedly been involved in an intimate relationship with the same man — a certain Frank, who is reportedly married. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Here’s where it gets even messier — Adanma allegedly had a romantic thing going with Frank before her pregnancy news broke. And it doesn’t stop there. The blogger also hinted that this same Frank has supposedly been linked with other well-known women in the entertainment industry (names not dropped… yet 👀).

Neither Ashmusy nor Adanma has responded to the allegations as of now, but social media streets are already on fire with speculation, judgment, and hot takes flying left and right.



Now, whether it’s just gossip or there’s some truth to it, this whole situation raises questions about loyalty, love, and the very blurry lines in the world of fame and fortune.

What do you think — coincidence, clout chase, or is someone out here really playing the field?

Let’s talk in the comments — I’m curious what you all think about this one!

The Dark Allegations Behind Nigeria’s Fulani Herdsmen Crisis: Are Traditional Rulers Complicit?

The ongoing crisis surrounding the activities of Fulani herders has become one of the most pressing issues in Nigeria. In recent years, the rising incidents of kidnappings, rapes, and killings linked to Fulani herders have deeply shaken many communities across the country. This situation has reached alarming proportions, with farmers, mostly from southern and middle-belt regions, increasingly voicing their anger and frustration over the security threat posed by these herders. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

However, new insights gathered by Eyes of Lagos blog suggest that the roots of this crisis may be more complicated than previously understood. According to research and information from sources close to Nigeria’s traditional leadership, there are allegations that some traditional rulers in various states are not only accommodating these herders but may also be directly involved in hiring them to rear cattle on their behalf. This complex relationship between traditional rulers and Fulani herders appears to have a significant influence on the intensifying conflict.

The Role of Traditional Rulers: Are They Enabling Violence?
Many Nigerians are beginning to question the role of traditional rulers in the ongoing Fulani herder crisis. The allegations suggest that some traditional leaders may be renting out grazing lands to Fulani herders or even employing them to manage cattle herds in exchange for a share of the profits. In return, these herders gain access to farmlands, which they often graze on, even when it means trampling on farmers’ crops. This has fueled violent confrontations between herders and farmers, leading to accusations of economic exploitation and disregard for the safety of local communities.

In some cases, sources close to the monarchs claim that some rulers see the herders’ activities as a form of economic partnership, where they benefit from the revenues generated by the cattle. While these claims are not universally acknowledged by all traditional leaders, they have sparked intense debate about whether these rulers have a vested interest in the cattle economy that fuels the herders’ activities.

The Growing Conflict: Kidnapping, Rape, and Murder
The direct consequence of this arrangement seems to be escalating violence. Over the past few years, reports of Fulani herders being involved in kidnapping, sexual assault, and even murder have surged, particularly in the middle-belt and southern regions of Nigeria. These attacks have not only devastated local communities but have also raised questions about the lack of effective law enforcement in addressing the violence.

Many Nigerian farmers have raised alarms over the increasing vulnerability they face in their own communities. In regions such as Benue, Plateau, and Edo states, farmers have accused Fulani herders of systematically attacking and displacing them. These herders often destroy crops, intimidate locals, and sometimes resort to kidnapping for ransom. The situation has grown so severe that several groups and individuals have called for more stringent laws to prevent the movement of herders into farmlands, and for stricter enforcement of these laws.

The most troubling aspect of this crisis, however, is the perception that some influential traditional rulers may have turned a blind eye to these violent activities due to their financial or political ties to the herders. In Nigeria’s complex socio-political landscape, where power is often negotiated through economic interests, the involvement of monarchs in this crisis has led to serious concerns about ability and justice for the victims of violence.

Official Response and Public Outcry
The Nigerian government has been under pressure to address the issue, yet responses remain mixed. While some government officials have condemned the violence and called for greater law enforcement, others have been accused of inaction or even complicity in protecting the interests of influential herders or traditional rulers. This ambivalence has contributed to widespread mistrust among the public, further exacerbating the conflict.

In response, advocacy groups and civil society organizations have been pushing for stronger regulations on cattle grazing and the establishment of cattle ranches that do not conflict with agricultural land. These groups argue that the current open grazing practices need to be modernized to avoid the frequent confrontations between herders and farmers.

A Path Forward: Reconciliation and Justice
The path forward for Nigeria lies in addressing the complex dynamics between herders, farmers, and traditional leaders. While it is crucial to hold those able who are complicit in the violence, it is equally important to foster dialogue and cooperation between these groups. Traditional rulers must play a constructive role in ensuring the safety and well-being of their communities. Their influence and authority can be pivotal in bridging the gap between the conflicting parties and fostering peaceful coexistence.

At the same time, the Nigerian government must take concrete steps to address the issue of insecurity and bring the perpetrators of violence to justice, irrespective of their status. The enforcement of laws that regulate grazing and protect farmers’ rights must be a top priority.

The crisis surrounding Fulani herders is not just a security issue—it is a moral and societal challenge. As Nigeria seeks a resolution to this conflict, the country must confront the deeper, systemic problems of inequality, lawlessness, and corruption that underlie these violent episodes.

A viral video has surfaced on social media, showing Pasuma and Taye Currency sitting together, engaged in a heartfelt conversation, signaling the resolution of their differences. This reunion marks the end of a bitter rift that had plagued the once close relationship between the two artists.

Trump’s 25% Tariff on Imported Cars: What It Means for the Auto Industry & Your Wallet

Brace yourselves—the global car market just got a major shake-up!

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a whopping 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts, a move that is set to rattle the auto industry, disrupt supply chains, and drive up car prices. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The new policy, aimed at boosting American car manufacturing, officially takes effect on Wednesday, April 2, with duties on imported vehicles kicking in the next day. However, tariffs on car parts have been postponed—expected to roll out by May or later.
“Build in the U.S. or Pay the Price” – Trump’s Bold Stance

Defending the policy during a press conference, Trump made his intentions clear:

“If you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”

The goal? To cut down on foreign imports, drive investment into local factories, and create jobs for Americans.
Industry Experts Sound the Alarm

While the Trump istration promises economic growth, experts warn that the impact could be devastating—not just for automakers but for consumers too.

Here’s what could happen:

🚗 Car Prices Could Skyrocket – The 25% tariff could add $4,000 to $10,000 to the price of a new vehicle, making cars more expensive for everyday buyers.

🏭 Manufacturers Face Major Disruptions – Automakers rely on global supply chains, and sudden cost increases could force companies to halt production or rethink manufacturing strategies.

🔄 Trade War Escalation – With the U.S. importing nearly 8 million vehicles annually (worth $240 billion), trade partners like Mexico, Canada, Japan, and could retaliate—further escalating global economic tensions.
Who Gets Hit the Hardest?

Mexico—the biggest supplier of cars to the U.S.—is expected to bear the brunt, along with key players like South Korea, Japan, Canada, and .

Many U.S. automakers have factories in Mexico and Canada, benefiting from trade agreements. But with these tariffs, operations could be disrupted, supply chains broken, and diplomatic ties strained.

In a shocking turn of events, a high-ranking police officer—a Police Colonel—was caught red-handed trying to cheat during an entrance exam for an istrative Court Judge position. 😳 Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Caught in the Act!

The embarrassing incident, which surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), has left many people in disbelief. According to reports, the officer was caught sneaking unauthorized notes into the exam hall, leading to his immediate disqualification and removal from the test.
His Excuse? Not Convincing!

In an attempt to defend himself, the officer claimed he had printed his exam ission slip on an A4 sheet, folded it, and accidentally carried a small note along with it.

But here’s the catch—video footage tells a different story! The confiscated materials appeared to be a full-blown set of study notes rather than an innocent mistake. 🧐
What Happens Next?

Authorities have launched an investigation, and disciplinary action will follow under Royal Thai Police regulations. The severity of the punishment is yet to be determined, but let’s just say, his dreams of becoming a judge may have just gone up in flames.🔥
Social Media Goes Wild!

The internet had zero mercy for the disgraced officer, with s mocking the situation. Here are some of the most hilarious reactions:

WATCH VIDEO:

Watch on TikTok

😂 @BakchormeeMan: “Lol, he clearly thought nobody would dare check him since he brought along the entire folder of notes.”

🤣 @wickedbeat_mate: “Bro clearly didn’t watch ‘Bad Genius’ and decided to bring a whole folder of notes to the exam.”

😅 @fcukp: “Exams for colonels? That’s the real joke here.”

😳 @Zaid เซด: “Can’t imagine what kind of judge he would be if he actually ed.”
The Real Question: If a Senior Officer Cheats, What About the System?

This scandal has left people questioning the integrity of the police force and the process of selecting judges. If a senior officer can be caught cheating in an entrance exam, what does that say about the recruitment process and leadership standards?

Should stricter measures be put in place to prevent corruption in high-ranking positions?

For many young Nigerians, the dream of moving abroad, especially to countries like Canada, seems like the ultimate goal. With social media flooded with images of luxury lifestyles, fancy cars, and high-paying jobs, it’s easy to believe that life outside Nigeria is automatically better. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

But what if that dream is just an illusion?

A young man from Delhi, India, who recently moved to Canada, has taken to social media to share his regrets, calling the entire experience a “scam.” His story is a wake-up call for those who believe that relocating abroad guarantees a better life.
“I Regret Moving to Canada” – The Bitter Truth

The young man shared his frustrations in a now-viral Reddit post, revealing that his expectations of a comfortable life abroad were shattered upon arrival. He described Canada as a place with a poor work-life balance, expensive living costs, and an exploitative system that takes advantage of international students.

“Every day, I see people in India dreaming of moving abroad, believing there are better opportunities. But let me give you a reality check—I live in Canada, and it is not what it seems,” he wrote.

According to him, Canadian colleges and universities have turned international students into a business. Many arrive with the hope of securing good jobs after graduation, only to find themselves stuck in low-paying survival jobs, struggling to pay rent and make ends meet.

“Once you land here, you realise you’ve been scammed,” he continued.

The Harsh Reality of Life Abroad

One of the biggest misconceptions about moving abroad is that success comes easily. However, many immigrants soon realise that:

The cost of living is extremely high – Rent, food, and transportation eat up most of their income.
Work-life balance is terrible – Many work multiple jobs just to survive, leaving little time for family or personal growth.
Degrees don’t guarantee jobs – Many international students end up in menial jobs unrelated to their qualifications.
Homesickness and loneliness set in – Being far from family and cultural roots takes a toll on mental health.

“Stay Home and Build Something Meaningful”

Rather than chasing an illusion, the man encourages young people to focus on opportunities in their home country.

“India is growing, and opportunities are improving. If you work smart, you can build a great life without sacrificing your mental health, family, and dignity. The West sells you an illusion, but once you get here, you realise you’ve been brainwashed.”

This sentiment is not unique to India. Many Nigerians who relocate abroad soon discover that life in the diaspora is not as glamorous as they imagined.

While moving abroad can offer opportunities, it is not an automatic ticket to success. Hard work, strategy, and financial planning are key, whether at home or abroad.

So before making that big move, ask yourself: is it really worth it?

What do you think? Is life abroad truly better, or is it all just an illusion? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇🏽

He Paid My Bills & Is Buying Me a House" – Asake’s Father Confirms Reconciliation Amid Family Drama

The drama surrounding Grammy-nominated singer Asake and his father, Fatai Odunsin, has taken a surprising turn as the older man confirms their reconciliation. After weeks of controversy, Odunsin has now revealed that his son has settled his medical bills and is making arrangements to buy him a house in Lagos. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
From Public Fallout to Private Resolution

The saga began when Fatai Odunsin publicly appealed for financial assistance, revealing that he was battling a stroke. His plea sparked outrage, especially after family accused Asake of abandoning his father, baby mama, and 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.

The situation quickly escalated, with fans divided over whether the singer had truly neglected his family or if there was more to the story. But now, Odunsin has set the record straight.
“We Have Settled Our Dispute” – Fatai Odunsin Speaks Out

In an interview with content creator Mr. Lilgaga, Asake’s father itted that he called out his son because he hadn’t reached out to him. However, he now confirms that Asake has stepped up, paying off his outstanding hospital bills and vowing to take care of his needs.

“He has paid my hospital bills and is making arrangements to buy me a house,” Odunsin said, expressing gratitude for their renewed relationship.

The ‘Terminator’ crooner has now taken full responsibility, ensuring his father’s well-being and putting the family feud to rest.
Social Media Reacts – Praise, Criticism & Everything in Between

As expected, social media s had a lot to say about the unfolding family drama:

🔹 Eze Nnmamdi: “Yoruba fathers and entitlement go hand in hand. Look at Mohbad’s father dragging property with his daughter-in-law. Must he always come online with all this?”

🔹 Adaku: “I heard he sent you 100 million naira yesterday. But of course, you won’t mention that.”

🔹 Ontop Official: “All the money people donated should be forwarded to my tonight. Me and my little girl, a musician, also have misunderstandings. Thanks.” 😂

🔹 Oluwole Ayodele: “Avoid bitter Nigerian women if you want to live long. They keep pushing the ‘deadbeat father’ narrative without knowing the full story. Neighbors confirmed that Asake was never abandoned.”
Final Thoughts – A Lesson in Family & Forgiveness?

What’s your take on this situation? Do you think Asake handled it well, or was he pressured into making amends? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇🏽👇🏽

Lagos: 5 Surprising Facts About Its Rise to a Megacity

Lagos is often recognized as Nigeria’s economic powerhouse and one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities. However, beyond its bustling streets and towering skyline, Lagos has a rich and fascinating history that many people don’t know about. Here are five intriguing facts about the historical development of Lagos and how it transformed into the megacity we see today.
1. Lagos Was Originally a Fishing Village

Before Lagos became the vibrant metropolis we know today, it was a small fishing settlement inhabited by the Awori people, a subgroup of the Yoruba ethnic group. The name “Eko,” which many locals still use, was given to the area by the Benin Empire in the 15th century after it was conquered. The Portuguese, who arrived in the late 15th century, named it “Lagos” after a coastal town in Portugal. This humble fishing village gradually evolved into a major trading hub due to its strategic coastal location.
2. Lagos Was Once a Hub for the Transatlantic Slave Trade

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, Lagos played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade. European traders, in collaboration with local rulers, facilitated the sale and transportation of enslaved people to the Americas. However, in 1851, the British invaded Lagos in an effort to suppress the slave trade. By 1861, Lagos was formally annexed as a British colony, marking the beginning of its transformation into a modern city with Western influences.
3. The Capital Status of Lagos Was Short-Lived

Many people assume Lagos has always been the political capital of Nigeria, but that isn’t entirely true. While Lagos became the capital of the British Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914 and later the capital of independent Nigeria in 1960, this status was short-lived. Due to overcrowding and the need for a more centrally located capital, the government moved the capital to Abuja in 1991. Despite losing its capital status, Lagos remained the commercial and cultural heart of Nigeria.
4. The Lagos Lagoon and Bridges Transformed the City’s Growth

Lagos’ unique geography, consisting of islands and a lagoon, posed significant challenges for urban development. The construction of major bridges, such as the Carter Bridge (1901, rebuilt in the 1970s), the Eko Bridge (1975), and the Third Mainland Bridge (1990), played a crucial role in connecting different parts of the city. These infrastructural developments facilitated trade, population expansion, and economic growth, solidifying Lagos’ status as a megacity.
5. Lagos Is One of the Fastest-Growing Cities in the World

From its colonial days to post-independence, Lagos has experienced exponential growth. Today, it is home to over 20 million people, making it one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Factors such as rural-to-urban migration, industrialization, and economic opportunities have contributed to this rapid expansion. The city continues to evolve, with ambitious projects like Eko Atlantic City and ongoing infrastructural upgrades shaping the future of Lagos as a global economic hub.
Conclusion

Lagos’ journey from a small fishing village to a sprawling megacity is a testament to its resilience, adaptability, and strategic importance. While it faces challenges such as traffic congestion, housing deficits, and environmental concerns, the city’s innovative spirit ensures that it remains a beacon of progress in Africa. Understanding its historical development gives us deeper insight into what makes Lagos truly unique.

My name is Alphonso Olajide, co-founder of EyesOfLagos.com. I’m a blogger and web developer, and today, I want to share my heartbreaking story.

On July 27, 2024, I lost my beloved brother to kidney failure. He was a dedicated pastor at a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) parish in Ahmadiya. For nearly five years, he served the church with his time, energy, and personal resources. But when tragedy struck, the same church he gave so much to turned its back on him.

When my family approached RCCG for a burial space at their cemetery, we expected comion. Instead, they asked us to pay nearly one million Naira to lay him to rest. Their excuse? “It’s the system.”

Where was the love? Where was the for a man who had given his all to this church? Back in March, when my brother was fighting for his life, he was taken to Pastor Adeboye. All they gave him was anointing oil.

This experience broke me. It opened my eyes. I can no longer a system that values money over people. This is why I have stopped going to church—I choose to pray directly to God.

To anyone still blindly giving their hard-earned money to these churches, think twice. My brother’s story is proof that when you need them the most, they might not be there for you.

May God judge those who humiliated him after all his years of service.

The Ogun State government has strongly condemned popular Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, for launching an attack on its officials, labeling him a “serial dissident” and “unrepentant rascal.” Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Information and Strategy, revealed in a statement on Friday that Portable has a disturbing history of assaulting government officials without provocation.

According to Akinmade, the latest attack—allegedly led by Portable and his gang—against government officials carrying out their lawful duties is both “barbaric and unacceptable.”

“We are profoundly taken aback by the unpleasant and uncivil act of the Hip-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, in Iyana-Ilogbo, where his bar is located,” Akinmade stated.

He further described the attack as a disgrace to the state and a reflection of the erosion of moral values.

Governor Dapo Abiodun has vowed that no individual—regardless of social status or influence—will be spared from facing the full wrath of the law for violating state regulations.

Meanwhile, nine of Portable’s followers were arraigned before a Magistrates’ Court in Isabo, Abeokuta, on Thursday for allegedly assaulting officers from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

The government has assured that all those involved will be held able, reinforcing its commitment to upholding law and order in the state.

Since taking office in 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been accused of running Nigeria like his personal empire—just as he did with Lagos for over two decades. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Many Nigerians now ask:

🔴 Is Tinubu monopolizing Nigeria’s political and economic space?
🔴 Why is his government allegedly making secret payments to his allies?
🔴 Is he grooming his son, Seyi Tinubu, to become the next Lagos governor?

The signs are too strong to ignore, and the facts speak for themselves. Let’s dive in! 👇
🔍 How Tinubu Captured Lagos—A Model for Nigeria?

For over 20 years, Tinubu has controlled Lagos like his private business empire. No governor has emerged without his approval, and he has a firm grip on both the economy and politics of the state.

📌 1999-2007 – He was Lagos governor.
📌 2007-2015 – Installed Fashola as governor.
📌 2015-2019 – Installed Ambode, then removed him.
📌 2019-Present – Installed Sanwo-Olu as his loyalist.

Now, his Lagos-style dominance is creeping into national governance! 🚨
🔥 Signs Tinubu is Monopolizing Nigeria
1️⃣ Installing His Loyalists in Key Positions

Since becoming president, Tinubu has:

✅ Appointed former Lagos politicians to top government roles.
✅ Placed long-time loyalists in finance, security, and economic sectors.
✅ Ensured APC’s top leadership is filled with his people.

👉 Example: Finance Minister Wale Edun, Works Minister David Umahi, and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu—all Tinubu loyalists.

Is this governance or a political takeover? 🤔
2️⃣ Rewarding His Business Associates with Government Contracts

Just like in Lagos, Tinubu’s government is allegedly:

✅ Giving juicy contracts to his associates.
✅ Making secret financial deals benefiting Lagos-based billionaires.
✅ Favoring private interests over national progress.

👉 Example: The fuel subsidy removal allegedly benefited certain oil companies linked to his allies.

Are Nigerians paying the price for Tinubu’s political network? 🚨
3️⃣ Weakening the Opposition & Controlling Political Structures

Tinubu is silencing opposition voices and making sure APC remains in power indefinitely.

📌 APC’s leadership is now fully under his control.
📌 The judiciary is allegedly under pressure from his government.
📌 Opposition figures face increased scrutiny and political attacks.

This is the same power playbook he used in Lagos, where no strong opposition exists.
🛑 The Shocking New Accusation: Tinubu’s Government Secretly Paying “Powerful” Individuals?

Recent reports suggest that Tinubu’s government has been making secret financial transactions, possibly as a strategy to consolidate power.

🔴 Who is being paid?
🔴 Are these payments for loyalty?
🔴 Is Nigeria’s economy being used to fund Tinubu’s political empire?

💡 If true, this could mean national resources are being used for political control rather than economic development.
👀 Is Tinubu Grooming Seyi Tinubu as Lagos’ Next Governor?

A new political dynasty might be unfolding before our eyes!

✅ Seyi Tinubu, Tinubu’s son, is being positioned as a major power broker in Lagos politics.
✅ He plays an active role in state affairs despite holding no official political office.
✅ Many insiders suggest that he is being quietly prepared to take over as Lagos governor in 2027.

👉 Why This Matters: If Seyi Tinubu becomes governor, it would mean that Tinubu is not only monopolizing Lagos but also establishing a political dynasty—ensuring his family’s continued grip on Nigeria’s wealthiest state.

🚨 Will Lagosians allow this?
🚨 What Does This Mean for Nigeria?

If Tinubu successfully monopolizes Nigeria, here’s what we might face:

🔴 Weakened democracy – Only Tinubu’s candidates will hold power.
🔴 Economic manipulation – National resources will benefit his allies first.
🔴 Zero ability – Decisions will be based on loyalty, not merit.

🚨 Nigeria could become a one-man-controlled state, just like Lagos!
🛑 Final Verdict: Is Tinubu Nigeria’s New Political Emperor?

All signs suggest he is building a personal empire—one that could last for decades if unchecked.

❓ Will Nigerians allow Tinubu to monopolize power?
❓ Will Seyi Tinubu be Lagos’ next governor, cementing a political dynasty?
❓ And what do the secret payments mean for Nigeria’s future?

As Nigeria inches closer to another critical election, three names are bound to dominate the conversation—Omoyele Sowore, Peter Obi, and Atiku Abubakar. While Obi presents himself as the economic messiah and Atiku positions himself as the experienced politician, one man stands out as the only candidate who offers true, radical change—Omoyele Sowore! 🔥 Eyes Of Lagos reports,

For decades, Nigerians have been trapped in a cycle of broken promises, corruption, and recycled politicians. But Sowore isn’t here to manage a corrupt system; he’s here to tear it down and rebuild a Nigeria that works for everyone.

So, why should Nigerians consider Sowore over Peter Obi or Atiku in 2027? Let’s break it down.
🔥 Sowore’s Mission: A Nigeria Built on Justice, Equity & True Leadership

Unlike Atiku, a serial presidential aspirant who has been in politics since 1999, or Peter Obi, a businessman-turned-politician, Sowore’s mission is different—he isn’t here to “fix” Nigeria’s problems within the same corrupt system. He wants to dismantle it!

His movement, #TakeItBack, is driven by:
✅ Uncompromising ability – No godfathers, no backdoor deals!
✅ Revolutionary Leadership – Nigeria needs more than economic theories; it needs real systemic change.
✅ People-Powered Government – Policies that uplift the masses, not just the elites.
✅ Total Political Overhaul – A Nigeria free from old, recycled politicians who serve themselves.
🚀 Sowore vs. Obi vs. Atiku: Who is Really the Best for Nigeria?
1️⃣ A History of Fighting for Nigerians

🔹 Sowore: A lifelong activist who has risked everything to fight for democracy. He led protests against military rule, exposed corruption through Sahara Reporters, and was illegally detained for standing up to the government.

🔹 Obi: A businessman who ran Anambra State efficiently but has never actively fought against oppression. He only became vocal about governance issues after contesting in 2023.

🔹 Atiku: A former vice president and long-time political player. Faced multiple corruption allegations and is deeply entrenched in the same political system that has failed Nigeria.

💡 Winner? Sowore is the only one with a proven history of direct activism, sacrifice, and fighting for the people.
2️⃣ Economic Policies: Who Will Really Fix Nigeria?

🔹 Sowore: Advocates for a total economic revolution, including investing heavily in renewable energy, industrialization, and technology to create millions of jobs. His approach is people-driven, not corporate-driven.

🔹 Obi: s a private-sector-led economy but doesn’t challenge the deeply flawed financial system that favors elites. His pro-capitalist policies may not prioritize the poor.

🔹 Atiku: Pushes for privatization of national assets, which in the past has led to job losses and economic inequality (e.g., Nigeria’s failed power sector privatization under his istration).

💡 Winner? Sowore’s economic vision is bold, innovative, and built for the future, while Atiku and Obi stick to old models that have not worked.
3️⃣ Corruption: Who Has Clean Hands?

🔹 Sowore: Has NEVER been accused of corruption. He made his name exposing corrupt politicians and fighting for transparency.

🔹 Obi: While he is seen as relatively clean, the Pandora Papers leaks in 2021 revealed offshore s linked to him, raising concerns about financial transparency.

🔹 Atiku: Has been linked to multiple corruption scandals, including the famous U.S. bribery scandal that led to his visa ban (later lifted).

💡 Winner? Sowore is the only one with a spotless record and a track record of fighting corruption.
4️⃣ Security: Who Can Truly End Terrorism and Banditry?

🔹 Sowore: Plans to overhaul the security system completely, decentralizing power, investing in technology-driven policing, and ensuring ability in the military and police force.

🔹 Obi: Focuses on intelligence-based security but lacks a detailed plan to reform the security structure.

🔹 Atiku: Proposes more funding for security agencies, but his party, PDP, failed to tackle terrorism during its years in power.

💡 Winner? Sowore’s radical approach is Nigeria’s best chance at real security reform.
💡 The Sowore Blueprint for 2027: A Revolution, Not Just an Election!

Unlike Obi and Atiku, who are playing within the system, Sowore wants to change the game entirely. Here’s his strategy:

🔹 Mass Mobilization – Expanding the #TakeItBack movement across all states.
🔹 Youth-Driven Politics – Bringing in young, competent leaders, NOT recycled politicians.
🔹 Digital Revolution – Using technology to by traditional vote-rigging tactics.
🔹 Grassroots Engagement – Meeting everyday Nigerians and building a movement from the bottom up.

Sowore is not just running for president; he is leading a people’s revolution. He doesn’t have billionaires funding his campaign—he relies on the power of the people!
🌟 The Final Verdict: Is Nigeria Ready for Real Change?

The choice in 2027 is simple:
💡 Do we want another politician who will tweak a broken system (Obi or Atiku)?
🔥 Or do we want a fearless revolutionary who will dismantle corruption, injustice, and oppression at the root (Sowore)?

The answer lies with the people. The 2027 election is not just another political contest—it is a fight for Nigeria’s future, dignity, and survival.
