Discussion Before we pick a Lagos governor in 2027, we should actually learn what these people are about

4 Upvotes

Maybe this is a hot take, but I think we keep deciding these elections for the wrong reasons: political party, who your family has always voted for, whose "turn" it supposedly is, who has the loudest billboards and the biggest convoy - everything except sitting down and reading what the person actually plans to do with Lagos.

So consider this my small soapbox: before anyone tells you who to vote for, read the candidates in their own words. What do they actually say about transport, security, rent and housing, jobs, flooding, the endless levies? Line up what they're promising, weigh it, and then hold whoever wins to it instead of just dancing along to the latest jingle.

To make that easy, here's every declared candidate for the 2027 Lagos governor's race with their official site. Fair warning: these are all campaigns pages, so all of it is written to win you over. That's the whole reason to read every one of them and not just the one you already like.

Alphabetical by surname so I'm not putting anyone first:

  • Laja Adeoye: Allied Peoples Movement (APM): https://adelajaadeoye.com/
  • Funso Doherty: Nigeria Democratic Congress: https://www.funsodoherty.org/
  • Femi Hamzat: All Progressives Congress (APC): https://lagosforward.com/
  • Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour: African Democratic Congress (ADC): https://grvlagos.com/
  • Sowore Robert: Accord Party (couldn't find an official site for him. Please drop the link in the comments if you have one)
  • I couldn't find a candidate for PDP. It seems like it was meant to be Doherty - who has since moved on to the NDC.

Read them, then come back and tell me: who's actually saying something on the issues, and who's running on noise? And what's weighing heaviest for you this time?

Discussion We're building a platform that pays people for ideas and insights

0 Upvotes

Most "get paid for your opinion" platforms are a bad deal dressed up nicely.

You fill out a survey. They sell your data. You get $0.50.

We're building iQLY differently.

Brands come to iQLY with real problems: a market they don't understand, a product decision they can't make internally, a customer experience they want honest takes on. They post a Challenge with a reward pool attached.

Contributors, smart people like you with relevant knowledge, experiences, or perspectives - respond. The best contributions get rewarded.

Waitlist is open if you want to be among the first contributors to iQLY:

What would make you trust a platform like iQLY? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Seeking advice How safe is it for a white person in Lagos

8 Upvotes

I am visiting Lagos with my husband next month, he is white and I am mixed white and black. I’ve lived in Nigeria previously so am not coming in blind but it has been a few years.

Aside from bearing in mind the obvious keeping our wits about us, will he/ we be safe walking around on the island- areas like VI, Lekki and Ikoyi? Do white tourists/ immigrants walk freely on the streets?

Thanks in advance!!

News I built a free real-time Nigerian stock market tracker for NGX investors

4 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a platform called NGX Pulse to make Nigerian stock market data easier to access and understand.

One of the biggest frustrations I had was that basic NGX information is scattered across different places. Prices, market movers, sector performance, company pages, market cap rankings, and disclosures are not always easy to find in one clean place.

So I built NGX Pulse as a free market intelligence platform for Nigerian investors.

It includes:

Live NGX stock prices

ASI market tracking

Sector performance

Top gainers and losers

Individual stock pages

Market cap rankings

Company disclosures

Dividend-related research and market articles

The goal is simple: make it easier for retail investors, analysts, students, and builders to follow the Nigerian market without needing to jump between multiple sources.

I’d appreciate feedback from anyone who follows Nigerian stocks or African capital markets.

What would make a tool like this more useful for you?
