- Residents and community leaders in Odokekere, Ikorodu Local Council Area, Lagos State, are raising an alarm over the poor condition of Odokekere Community High School following the collapse of a makeshift classroom.
They have dismissed reports of casualties from the incident, describing such claims as false and misleading, while accusing the state government of long-standing neglect.
When The Guardian visited the school, it was discovered that the collapsed structure was a temporary classroom made of wood and planks, used by Jss 1 students. The structure reportedly fell against the school fence.
Community members explained that the makeshift classrooms were built through self-help after years of waiting for government intervention in the only public secondary school in the area.
Only three sections of the classrooms were constructed with blocks, while others were built with planks to accommodate students.

Kayode, 46, appeared on Monday before the Sagamu Magistrate Court in Ogun State. The case is linked to a road crash that occurred on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Reports say the accident was caused by excessive speed and wrongful overtaking.
The prosecution charged Kayode on four counts, including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and driving without a valid national driver’s licence. He was earlier granted bail for five million naira, with two sureties.
At Monday’s sitting, the court ordered that the case file be duplicated and sent to the Office of the Attorney General for legal advice.

- Nigeria has recorded a significant leap in the 2026 Henley Passport Index. For the first time in years, the Green Passport is gaining ground, moving up 14 places from a historic low of 103rd to its new position at 89th in the world."
The January 2026 data shows that Nigerian citizens can now access 44 destinations without a prior visa. This includes a mix of visa-free entry, visas on arrival, and Electronic Travel Authorizations.
While the jump from 103 to 89 is a clear victory for recent diplomatic efforts, it’s a story of 'recovery' rather than total dominance. To give you some perspective, back in 2006, the Nigerian passport ranked 62nd. Today’s ranking of 89th places Nigeria on par with Myanmar, but still trailing behind African leaders like Seychelles at 24th and South Africa at 48th."
What is driving this upward trend? Analysts point to two major factors.

- On January 9-10, 2026, the UK Crown Dependency of Jersey announced the repatriation of approximately £7 million (equivalent to about $9.5 million) in forfeited assets to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. These funds, identified as proceeds of corruption from the era of Nigeria's late military ruler General Sani Abacha (1993-1998), mark the third major recovery agreement between the two jurisdictions. The assets will support infrastructure development, specifically the completion of the Abuja-Kano highway, underscoring international cooperation in combating illicit financial flows.
During Abacha's regime, an estimated billion dollars were allegedly looted from Nigeria's public coffers and laundered abroad through complex schemes involving third-party contractors and intermediaries. The funds in question were held in a Jersey bank account and frozen as part of anti-corruption probes. In January 2024, Jersey's Royal Court ruled that the assets were "more likely than not" deri...

But the tide is finally going out. What generations of families called home is being reclaimed by the city it helped build.
The landscape is changing. Where there were once vibrant markets on canoes, there is now open water and debris. Thousands who have known no other life but the waterfront are now untethering their boats, watching a century of history drift away in the wake of urban expansion.
On the outskirts, families gather what remains. Roofing sheets are sold as scrap; memories are packed into narrow hulls. There is no anger in their eyes today—only the quiet, heavy realization that an era has reached its horizon.
