Total wahala has officially taken over the Nigerian digital space once again, and this time, outspoken broadcast journalist Rufai Oseni is sitting right at the center of the storm!
Known for never mincing his words, the media personality has taken a fresh, razor-sharp swipe at the federal government over the much-talked-about Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, leaving internet users dragging opposing sides through the mud.

It all went down during a recent media broadcast where Rufai decided to air his unfiltered thoughts regarding the multi-billion-naira infrastructural undertaking. Dropping a sarcastic reference to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as the project of a ‘Queen of the Coast’, he questioned the priorities, economic feasibility, and transparency surrounding the massive construction.
As expected, it took less than a heartbeat for the clip to land on X (formerly Twitter). Within minutes, the timeline split into two roaring factions. While one camp hailed the broadcaster for speaking truth to power, another group slammed him for constantly criticizing government initiatives.
