 The Lagos-Valabar costal highway (All rights reserved,  Mega Mode Media 2026) When president Tinubu announced the the commencement of construction the Calabar coastal highway , many Nigerians groaned inwardly. Some groaned out loud. Everyone thought: "another white elephant project , which will help huge billion with nothing to show for it eventually." This because Nigeria is littered with such "abandoned projects" which will be flagged with huge fanfare and expensive budgets but zero completion or results. Like the Absolute Steel Complex , the Fourth Mainland Bridge , purported Nigeria Air national carrier which was launched with billions but no single aircraft was purchased till date. Nigeria Air has no office even. It was just an idea convicted by former minister of aviation, Hadi Sirika , endorsed by the Buhari administration and "launched" on paper with billions of naira expended.  With that mindset, many nugerians were bemused resignedly knew t...

        Oleksanr Usyk, working AJ hard       (Courtesy, Google) The British-Nigerian and serial heavyweight champion, of the world, Anthony Joshua has proven himself as a sure star in the field of boxing even, the world of sports generally. , the Ukrainian boxer.  Since winning the Olympic gold medal in boxing, AJ as he's fondly called, have experienced more and more knockouts than defeats in the combat sport.  One nemesis that AJ failed to ever defeat is Oleksandr Usyk , the Ukrainian boxer. On the two occasions that AJ met him in the ring, as much as AJ tried, Usyk always defeated AJ. Flat. Both times.  Usyk is not just a powerhouse of strength and fitness, his techniques and solid heavy punches are virtually made of steel.  Somehow, AJ and Usyk have formed a bromance , a sense of deep calling into deep in another great display of sportsmanship and greatness. AJ had busted Usyk a few times in Ukraine as the two deepened ...

Nigerian police officers (Courtesy Google) Hear, hear! Content creators, digital social media influencers, and everyone using digital platforms even, print journalists, this breakthrough news is for you.  Often, the purveyors of truth, whistleblowers , investigative journalists , are often dreaded and intensely disliked by the establishment. The powerful and not-so powerful are often involved in many misdeeds  which they do not want the public to know, and perchance if it trickles out, they want to sweep under the carpet. But, for the "ecposers," of misdeeds who scatter their plans and beam the searchlight on their misconduct for world to see. So, when a landmark ruling came from a Federal High Court just ruled that police men on duty can be filmed without asking for their permission, it is worth celebrating indeed.  Nigerian policemen do not wear body cameras . So when they know in this social media age, anything they do out there can be filmed by anyone and posted onl...

      The line of SUVs (Courtesy: Babajide Sanwo-Olu ) This is indeed worthy of wide commendation. That a governor with over half of his second tenure over, will bother himself to reward and motivate the workforce that has been the driving force behind service delivery of government policies or rare. It shows thoughtful and empathetic leadership.               (Courtesy: Babajide Sanwo-Olu)            (Courtesy: Babajide Sanwo-Olu) That was what Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu demonstrated earlier today to Level 17 officers of the Lagos state's civil service .  "Today, I presented new official vehicles to our Level 17 officers across the Lagos State Public Service," the governor announced, adding, "these are Directors who play a key role in how our Ministries, Departments, and Agencies deliver results. Supporting them is a practical step to help them do their work better.' Sanwo-Olu said a motivated ...

        President Trump (Courtesy, Google) What President Donald Trump of America jud did is very embarrassing. Under his direction, United State's entered into a coalition with Israel and attacked Iran ostensibly due to Iran's so called nuclear weapons program .  Nuclear weaponry that critics day have not been found since the strikes started.  On the night of Sunday, March 22 , Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran to stand down on its closure of the crude shipping sea passage, the Strait of Hormuz which Iran blockaded in its retaliatory move or face a total destruction of the country's key infrastructure.  This blockage sharply drove global oil prices up.  Iranians are wary of this olive branch. They suspect it's done to conceal a greater disaster US is about to unlease on Iran.

Bunmi Oshonaike , a former flight attendant and mom of a prominent Nigerian (Courtesy, Google) For a woman to be a flight attendant, that woman must be very attractive with a great figure. Flights, especially international flights, are tedious and nerve wracking enough. Than having an ogre appearing in your face every now and then. So, a sinking, physically pleasing aesthetic is needful to calm frayed nerves aboard.  Now imagine a flying attendant still so beautiful at 66 years, with herself kept fit. That is the story of Bunmi Oshonaike, the mother of Seyi Tinubu . President Bola Tinubu met Madam Bunmi way back when she was a flight attendant with Nigeria Airways ' flights to America. They dated and their relationship later produced Seyi. They were never married though.  She is now a cleric with the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) where she is debiting her latter years to serving God in His vineyard.  But one thing remained constant. Her beauty. Or what do you think?

     Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo (Courtesy, Google) Oyo state's civil servants, huge congratulations. Due to the crushing higher cost of fuel leading to higher transportation fare to commute daily, the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has displayed that his government is a listening and caring one.  A moment ago, Makinde gladdened the hearts of the state's civil servants by signing approval to payment of N10,000 extra to their pay packages to cushion the harsh effects of the price increment.  Will other states follow suit and emulate Makinde?

Boluwatife "Champz" Balogun (Courtesy, Apple Music) DNA is very strong and mysterious. How a father's face, gait, voice, even behaviour will beat exact same similarities with parents or relations.  At times, it could be talent or profession that will run in a family. Rotimi Williams was a lawyer of repute, all his four sons were lawyers. Gani Fawehinmi , another iconic lawyer, had most of his children taking after him. It could be music, like the Kuti dynasty where music is running through their family for nearly eight generations now.  Now, it's the turn of the Balogun family. That's the surname of Ayo Balogun known worldwide as Wizkid and his first son, Boluwatife Balogun , who has crossed into music and is now professionally known as Champz .  DNA is very strong and mysterious. How a father's face, gait, voice, even behaviour will beat exact same similarities with parents or relations.  At times, it could be talent or profession that will run in a fami...

Anthony Joshua and the party's guests (Courtesy, Google) It's a bittersweet party. But a thoughtful one. As we all know, the world heavyweight champion , Anthony Joshua, lost his two childhood friends Laez and Cina in a fatal car crash four months ago in Nigeria. It was a moment of profound tragic loss that the world palpably stopped and sorrowed alongside Joshua. Emotions were heightened upon Joshua's quick return back to UK, he left back for UK without completing his trip.  There, he personally took his friends' luggage to their parents minus their sons. It was a heart rending moment.  Now, four months later, Joshua did something to lighten the mood of the mothers of his best friends in order to help them lessen the sorrow and heal emotionally. He threw a Mother's Day bash for them. All guests had a mission- to make the mothers laugh, dance and have fun again.  And then, it was dancing time. A Nigerian musician was on the floor, he started serenading Tessy, Ci...

Osimhen has made Turkey id other home apart from Nigeria , as here he's seen goofing around with his daughter to loud cheers in  a Galatasaray home game (Courtesy, Google) Many football players often experience what Mega Mode Media can call "Big Bucks Curse", because many of them earn mega bucks while using their trade in clubs around the world. But, they often forget their skill is very fragile and has been quick expiration dates. They can get serious injury at any time which can spell the end of their careers, or their contracts can end and not be renewed at any time and of course, they age and just cannot continue playing professional football any longer.  Any or the combination of these factors can spell the end of a football career. When this happens, naturally the big bucks stops. Continued wealth and survival of the now former player now depend on how savvy he was with his finances in his playing days.  Some like Ronaldinho , Ronaldo, Etim Esin, Daniel Amokachie,...
