A retired officer at home
The setting says as much as the words. A man who spent his career enforcing the law now lives in a house with bare mud walls, recording his complaint on a phone because no official channel has answered it.
Another retired officer speaks
With this third officer, the pattern is clear. Each one recorded his own video, in a different place, with the same complaint. Together they show what the Contributory Pension Scheme means for the people who served under it.
Pushing the Blue Line train?
The Blue Line is Lagos’s flagship rail project, decades in the making. A clip of people apparently pushing the train went viral and became shorthand for public doubt about the project. When a similar clip circulated in April 2023, LAMATA called it…
The council that wasn’t
In July 2026 the Presidency said no such council had ever existed under the current administration and called it fictitious. Adeyemi and two others had already been arraigned in November 2025 on an eight-count charge including forgery, impersonation and obtaining by false…
Roadblocks a court already banned
The Directorate of Road Traffic Services (VIO) has already lost this argument in court. In October 2024 a Federal High Court in Abuja barred it from stopping, impounding or fining motorists on public roads, calling the practice illegal and oppressive. The Court…

Five days on the Benin bypass
This is the same corridor as AWO-009, seen from the Edo side. Passengers sleep in buses because they can’t afford hotels, and trucks carrying food and fuel sit still for days. A gridlock like this works as a tax on every good…
A smart school, inspected
Enugu State is building 260 Smart Green Schools, one in each ward, as the flagship of its education reform. The state has already admitted the risk: in July 2025 it demolished a smart school at Mbu, Isi-Uzo, after the building failed structural…
Smart Green School Nsude, from the inside
From the road, this is a finished flagship school. Inside, the roof leaks before the first full school year is over. This is the second smart-school site in the archive showing defects (see AWO-027).
A retired officer reads out his pension
Retired police officers have spent the past year protesting against their payouts under the Contributory Pension Scheme. In April 2026 they blocked a gate of the Presidential Villa, and in July 2026 they were back on the streets of Abuja. The National…
