- Inside The Hidden World of Lagos' Area Boys || Unveiling Lagos Area Boys' Hidden Lives || TheCable
In the heart of Lagos, a unique and often misunderstood group navigates life on the city’s bustling streets. Known as “area boys”, they are a fixture in the metropolis, simultaneously embodying the spirit of survival and a symbol of chaos. To some, they represent menace and disorder; to others, they protect their neighbourhoods.
In this documentary, TheCable’s LATEEFAH MAYAKI explores the lives of Lagos’ area boys, shedding light on their struggles, resilience, and the societal forces that shape their existence. Through interviews with members of this community, psychologists, and social observers, the documentary delves into the blurred lines between survival and menace and questions whether these young men can escape the shadow of their “reputation”.

Welcome to TheCable 🎥, your trusted platform for insightful discussions on pressing issues! 🌟
Nigeria is grappling with significant economic challenges, including high inflation and the depreciation of the naira. The weakening of the currency has led to higher costs for imported goods and raw materials, which squeezes business profit margins. Many companies pass these increased costs onto consumers to maintain profitability, fueling inflation and eroding purchasing power.
In this interview, TheCable’s ADERONKE ONI AND VICTOR EJECHI spoke with Kelvin Lawson, a car dealer and chief executive officer (CEO) of Nicakelv International Limited, about the challenges in the industry, particularly how fluctuation in the foreign exchange (FX) rate is affecting the auto industry.

The constitutional amendment bill, which is sponsored by Aliyu Missau, intended to amend sections 24, 262, 277, and 288 of the 1999 constitution by removing the word “personal” wherever “Islamic law” is mentioned.
Leading the debate, Missau said the inclusion of the word “personal” after “Islamic” restricts its application, especially on Islamic commercial laws. #nigeria #trending #islamiclaw

- The air at Ogunmeru street in the Igando axis of Alimisho LGA is thick with the pungent odour of decay, a connivance of smells that assault the senses and linger long after one has departed. Adjacent Ogunmeru, where Agboola lives, is the Solous 3 landfill; the only thing between his house and the ten-foot distance from this mountain of decomposing waste is an untarred road. Agboola said his life took a drastic turn when the dirt came dropping.
The 12-acre landfill, one of five government-run dumpsites in Lagos, is the only active of the three Solous in the area. It is the second largest dumpsite in Lagos, receiving a significant portion of the city’s 13,000 metric tonnes of daily waste generation. It is a place where the very definition of dump comes to life. The landfill has long surpassed its capacity yet continues to be stuffed, with refuse encroaching on host communities and spilling to the edges of people’s homes.
