Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by bilms(m): 1:41pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
BEAUTIFUL STATES WITH HUNGRY AND UGLY PEOPLE My elder sister called me yesterday morning and narrated the robbery incident which took place in their house over the night. The armed robbers didn't take it slow,they are young,sound educated but brutal. In the course of the robbery,they shot her husband twice in the chest and catered away with valuables resources. My sister was devastated,confused and disturbed as she speaks with tears,she explained that she was spared because she was not inside the room when they came in as she had gone to the toilet when they arrived. She explains that as they came in,she was unable to move a bit from her position as she was so afraid,she lye down flat praying inside the bathroom since she could do nothing about it. According to her,the robbers came in through the window numbering abut 4 with locally made guns. After the departure of the robbers,she ran out and seek help from their neighbors who assisted her. Her husband was rushed to the General Hospital and undergone a surgery yesterday night. The insecurity is getting out of hand as the youths have no jobs,they rely on crime like robbery,419,yahoo yahoo and many more to survive whereby inflicting pains on others. Virtually every state government today in Nigeria is concentrating on beautifying the state,doing flashy things to attract passerby,thing that in reality didn't positively affect the lives of the people as much as it is destroy it. They busy creating more hardship,demolishing people's houses and place of business without making alternative option. Even the people who should condemn such governance would praise the government because the negativity of the policies didn't affect them. The champion of such policies are the FG,Lagos state government and others who take pleasure in making people go jobless in the name of beautifying the state. But i ask, How does a beautiful state affect an hungry man or woman positively? Why should we commend a governor beautifying a state without beautifying the people living in it? why should the people go hungry because the cities want to be developed? Infrastructure would fade,but the people would always remain. The Lagos State Government currently announced its banning of Okada Riders,what a government. What do you expect the riders to be doing? Join the Robbers. Nigeria currently have million of unemployed youths,those who helped themselves by riding Okada to make a living are about to be made unemployed again. Stop celebrating mediocrity as good governance,Stop justifying wickedness as available option,Stop supporting the government when destroying people's mean of livelihood,Stop creating more hardship in the Land. If You can not provide jobs for the youths,stop taking the one they created for themselves,they deserve a life just as you Mr Governor. Thank God that the surgery was successful and it was reported to me that he his recovering this morning. 1 Like |

bilms: BEAUTIFUL STATES WITH HUNGRY AND UGLY PEOPLE Majority of Nigerians have at one point in time gone through some sort of hardship. What we are seeing is a failed society and misplacement of role models. These yahoo-yahoo boys don't do it because they are hungry, if that was the motive they could get a job in a fast food restaurant. These armed robbers don't rob because they need to pay school fees, they could easily get a part time gig going on selling air time. No these low-lifes do it because they want to be reckoned with. everybody in today's Nigeria has a misplaced sense of entitlement which you can blame those prosperity pastors to their delinquent upbringing. After all charity begins at home 1 Like |

Guy, you are fond of all these indirect attacks on Fashola. Let the PDP-led federal Government be sincere for once in it's wretched existence. Let it acknowledge the real population of Lagos, for a start, and treat the State accordingly !!! Let the FG grant Lagos special status , as many non-partisan expert are demanding, and stop treating her like a leper merely because she is in the hands of the 'opposition'. You love simplistically blaming Fashola for everything yet how about being fair to the man for once? Why will there not be hungry youths and unemployed folks everywhere when the FG officially put the population of Lagos at 9 million while we all know Fashola, in reality, is trying to cater for the needs of at least 17 million people!!!! Come on guy, this sort of self-419 and self-sabotage is not done anywhere else in the world. Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's. If our politics was not full of feudalists and opportunists with no vision, then Lagos should be getting far more support than it currently does. It is good , in life, to appreciate that what is fair is fair. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/08/giving-lagos-a-special-status/ Giving Lagos a special status 1 Like |

Government can only create a limited amount of jobs. Unless they want to employ people to do nothing. The beautification employs many lagosians who tend the gardens as you might notice. That said, good government policies will attract investors. Truth be told, without constant electricity, employment generation in Nigeria is a pipe dream. Also access to cheap capital for investors. If you want to know the truth, poor access to cheap capital and power issues is what is causing unemployment in Nigeria. Both are out of the hands of the state governors. 1 Like |

You lagosians are so myopic and self absorbed that you think the rest of Nigeria revolves round you. Without oil money there wouldn't have been a Port and every infrastructure you boast off. Why should Lagos get any more? Isn't it the same ACN that is openly trying to decongest Lagos with harsh anti-people policies? The minute you realize that all of Lagos problems are not from the central government but from 13yrs of failed ACN leadership which is ever ready to point the finger to the centre, the sooner you will begin to let the scales fall from your very eyes. |

who said Lagos state has 9million population? common.. stop this...the number of registered voters in Lagos before the 2011 election was 9million or 11million, i cant remember,and if 9 million or 11 million people could register to vote,Lagos would have around the 17million you said or more,due to the fact that we have more young people in the country.. I am not attacking Fashola, believe me, i am only not in support of most of his policies which is circled around inflicting more pains of the poor in the name of beautifying a state. |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by Gbawe: 2:16pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
CuntDestroyer: This is not a question of "Nigeria revolving around Lagosians". It is about a basis sense of equity and fair play in federal Governance. You obviously don't get that. Read the article. |

Gbawe: Lagos has had her own share of resources and all of it was wasted and what we have now is obviously the most insecure and ugliest city in the world. |

Go and find out what the last National population census of 2006 produced as the official population of lagos. I don't know why folks are so scared of basic research to the extent they are happier to speak ignorantly in suggesting others are wrong. Lagos is officially 9 million approx according to our last census.

Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by bilms(m): 2:30pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
we are no longer in 2006.. the number of registered voters in lagos in 2011 is 9 or 11 million.. how will government use the 2006 to conclude.. and besides, did Lagos Government complain about that? the number is not any problem,but the management which is not based on equity,equality and justice... |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by bilms(m): 2:32pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
i am not blaming Lagos state alone from the post,it include the federal Government aswell as other states.. So why are you guys making it seems as if i am talking about Lagos.. i only made reference to Lagos because of the ongoing ban on Okada as a current example |

Lagos did complain ... vehemently at that too. They are still complaining today and trying , legally, to put things right because of how important to the state this issue is. When you don't even know that much, is it not time to admit your perspective is faulty by default? I followed issues closely back then. You are also wrong to assume the 2006 figures are not being used. Why do you think Government spend so much on General census? To discard the figurses within a year? Government plan and base decisions/policies on the latest demographic figures available. There are no provisions for using unofficial estimates in Statecraft in place of latest official figures !!!! They can only include figures of estimated population growth but that too will be wrong since the original figure of 9 million is wrong. When the FG makes decisions about Lagos, they will use the 2006 census figures and they may loosely factor in population growth estimates. Many of us followed issues back then i.e 2006 to note OBJ deliberately endorsed false figures he knows will cheat Lagos till the next census. It has always been so. Simple as that. Please argue along another line. I hope you will read the article below to get a sense of perspective. I have produced excerpts to give you a hint as to why Kano is ludicrously "counted" as more populous than Lagos in the Arena of cheating and protection of vested interest called Nigeria. http://www.prb.org/articles/2007/objectionsovernigeriancensus.aspx?p=1 Fair Distribution of Resources http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/2006-census-lagos-raises-fresh-evidence-to-dispute-figures/77508/ 2006 Census: Lagos Raises Fresh Evidence to Dispute Figures |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by Standing5(m): 3:13pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
One thing is clear, Fashola needs to slow down with his beautification Policies. There is no doubt about the fact that Lagos has been and is being cheated, but in terms of utilization of what is available, i think he should slow down with his pursuance of policies and projects that seeks to beatify Lagos at the expense of better standard of living of its inhabitant. |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by bilms(m): 3:40pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
While the Lagos State Governmet Complain,it should not inflict delibrate pain on the people in the name of fixing te problem... Beautify the people not the state. |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by dominique(f): 4:04pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
i've said it before that Fashola's policies doesn't necessarily favour the less privileged majority. his dreams of a state-of-the-art megacity sometimes conflict with the true needs of the populace, majirity of who are living below poverty line. i still rate him higher than some governors tho. |

It's called window dressing...No government wants to invest in people because they think if they do, p0eople will not notice that they've done something. Instead they plunder the state resources by building outlandish white elephant projects that have no bearing on the ordinary citizen. |

Don't let fanaticism and bigotry get to u cos dats what destroyed an intelligent and an otherwise sound mind like beaf here on nairaland. |

Don't let fanaticism and bigotry get to u cos dats what destroyed an intelligent and an otherwise sound mind like beaf here on nairaland. The OP is well know for singling out Fashola unreasonably. Shortly before this thread, he started the thread linked below. https://www.nairaland.com/1082606/fashola-reasonable-atleast-once .... and this other one which demonstrates his disposition for linking Fashola with negatives. Why not simply urge Mimiko to keep up the pace without mentioning Fashola? https://www.nairaland.com/1081705/mimiko-should-not-like-fashola |

@gbawe,dont mispost. If you want to comment on the issue i raised about fashola,do it on the right thread,you can't turn this thread to fashola's thread cos its not. And if i raise an issue abt him,it is not an attack,but to state the obvious. |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by tpia5: 11:12pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
What's the op saying? He seems disjointed. Are you complaining about the menace of armed robbery in nigeria, or are you annoyed about the environment being beautified and cleaned up? |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by emiye(m): 11:25pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
I can conclude the OP is dumb. His assertions are majorly false, even the ones he can get at the press of a button. If you can not get facts and figures right, how then do you analyse it? |
Re: Beautiful States With Hungry And Ugly People by Johndoe100(m): 11:28pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
I like the way the Yoruba people like Gbawe believe that oyel money stolen from us should be dashed to them because according to them there are a lot of people in their states. All the while saying things like " resource control is not necessary". Is it not this same need to steal oyel money that made gbawe, tinumbu and co so desperate to remove Mimiko? |

I guess that the flowers and the green trees planted in the enviroment is what you are refering to, if so please go and read about it's inportance in our enviroment especialy city like lagos which emite large amount of CO2, SO2, CFC and lead compound from our outdated cars and equipments before you display your ignorance publicly. No wonder peaple used to call Nigerians educated illitrate, i guess it's because of peaple like you. |
