Oil money ko , oil money ni.
This is the cannibalised version of Lagos .
40% of government earnings come from here ,so how is it oil money? Your oil money , most of which is stolen at source , and the rest only goes as far as exchanging naira for dollars in the SW. Even that is covered by reparations from odua states overseas citizens.
Nothing Lagos or London about these pictures.
These pics below feel more like it.
No fences ,less congested and unabused .
These scenes were replicated in all major towns and cities of odua States. Terraced buildings without fences lining well planned streets .

There was
1 Light
2 pipe borne water straight to your shower.
3good schools
4 health facilities
5 town planning and enforcement of building codes
6 proper law enforcement.
7 in some area , daily deliveries of fresh milk .
8 enforcement of trading laws

All provided by the western regional government.
We had this until a certain devious unitary decree.
My dad told me of the story of mothers smacking their children for eating canned and other processed food( which were considered unhealthy even then) .
back then , almost every house had someone who was close to 100 years old , whom you will see sitting outside the fenceless compound,counting down his /her days. Wonder why they die young nowadays .

Main points
1 you see working traffic lights
2 you see the law abiding bikers obeying traffic rules
3 Lagos was bike friendly ( licensed drivers)
4 electricity supplied by the electricity company of western nigeria ( soon to be stolen and converted to NEPA)
5 you ships sailing from the western Nigeria controlled apapa port .
Who can forget the first night of holiday , playing mid fight football on the street ,right in front of our house while popsie and his pals quash lager( those first holiday night were nights of freedom else you must be in bed by 8:30) .
It was that safe.

Nigeria is a liability for odua states , simply brings nothing but sorrow, tears and blood.

I Second you bro abeggi no b oyell mini ohh ahh...name Lasgidi State of mind be dis

Old Lagos on Display

New Lagos is so fantastic
Re: 10 Unbelievable Photos Of Lagos You Will Mistake For London by Raymagnate(m): 2:51am On Aug 08, 2019
Due to rapid urbanization and population growth, the West African city Lagos, has been ranked as the fastest-growing city overall in the 2017–2030 timeline.
Lagos is home to over 20 millions people and its the fastest and most populated city in Africa.
By the next twelve years, Lagos will house 9% of the global population, contribute 15% of the world's GDP and take up about 3% of global land mass.

This is a compilation of drone shot in the vibrant city.
