BREAKING: In a remarkable moment, Vice President Kamala Harris just demolished individuals protesting at her rally tonight. This is what true leadership looks like, and the crowd had her back. Retweet so all Americans see this Presidential moment. nitter.gq/AdamJSmithGA/status/18…

Lagos deserves a solidarity march in appreciation of the good governance in Lagos. Lagos pays above minimum wage at ₦70,000 Lagos does not owe worker's salaries Lagos does not owe pensioners Lagos does not discriminate between indigenes and non-non-indigenes Lagos provides free healthcare to pregnant women Lagos provides subsidised education to all residents regardless of ethnicity Lagos built red and blue line metro Lagos built independent power projects Lagos developed its own port and the Lekki Free Trade Zone Lagos is so secure Mark Zuckerberg jogged there without security Lagos built roads, bridges and flyovers Lagos pays students in tertiary institutions with bursary Lagos built a BRT bus lane and provided sufficient buses for municipal transportation Lagos provided residents with palliatives Lagos opened food kitchens for those experiencing poverty Lagos provided grants to 20,000 residents to start businesses Lagos reclaimed land from the Atlantic Ocean Sweepers sweep Lagos roads every morning So, except your state has done more than these feats listed above, take a night bus back there if you want to protest bad governance. #TableShaker
