Kobojunkie:

What particular line in the video do you have the guy telling you he is MOCKING you? What part of the statements made would you consider blind and insensitive?

ziga:

I like to have discussions with very open minded people.

When you tell a Nigerian " Hey! Your House is dirty. Clean it up" he immediately tells you " Why are you disturbing me? Look at that house ,  and that other house. They are as dirty as mine".

kobojunkie, 'I love this !!'

manny4life:

Wow, @ N.I.Gboi, why do you attack the blessed? I still find it somewhat disturbing why someone has to impose their views on others and when you refuse to accept the opposition, it resorts to insults. Please tell me why her own view perhaps her own opinion makes her sick? Besides she hasn't forced it on you, yet u attack her, all I can say is WOW.

If I'm trying to get something correct here is it that what the dude said was absolutely untrue or is it because an American said it, which is it? If anyone who thinks what the dude said was wrong, please speak and prove him wrong, as well as those who think he was right. Also if u think its because he's an American, America has slumps as well, you could pay a visit to one of those slumps at least there are dirty areas in DC (Capital of the U.S.), N.Y. (Supposedly, financial district of the world) have worse places than some parts of Lagos.

Kobojunkie:

How do you know he/she has not TRIED anything on his end to ease the Nigerian situation? It is this NEED to put down others for telling us the truth that is being addressed here. We come up with EVERY POSSIBLE REASON no matter how irrational to REJECT the truth, every which way we can. We have people rejecting it because the video was made by an America, now you are here saying you REJECT the message from @theblessed because IN YOUR MIND, he/she does not fit the image YOU WANT of him. Are you serious? You think say you dey do person ? Na wa ooo!!

Does rejecting TRUTH simply cause it is not offered you in exactly the way you WANT IT change the fact that the truth was offered at all?

Liedetect:

Some Nigerians are too soft doing that. You come into my house and   tell me my house is dirty, you think I would have the time to be explaining about another house? Man, if you only get a swift kick up the backside from me, count yourself lucky.

The man with the video was out of order. The days of being spoken down to are over. If my house is dirty that is my afire not yours.  

N.I.Gboi:

first of, am not rejecting the truth that Nigeria is messed up. i think the best way to tell someone stuff is not to try and degrade him and make yourself seem superior, which is what the video is trying to do. also, the blessed keeps towing that line. what kind of image do i have in my mind about theblessed? if u know please do let me know. the grouse i have with her is that she keeps saying that we africans have a psychological problem. i disagree with that .

N.I.Gboi:

what message has theblessed brought to us? she just said

i) africans are psychologically sick
ii)we enjoy suffering
iii)the 'oyibo' don't like suffering
iv)commit suicide if u're suffering!!because the oyibo people do it.
I hope u get my point.

Eziachi:

The poster has stir the bee's nest and has got the usual Nigerian attitude of see no evil and hear no evil and attack the messenger.
Who can honestly dispute what the poster said and backed it up with a moving picture?

Planning in Nigeria is non existence and Lagos is just one of many junks, we called city,  except for few place where the rich lives as said by the poster, surrounded by a prison like fences and gates.
The poster should go to Ibadan and see pre colonial brown looking roofing sheets still hanging and sewage running openly on the street.
Or go to Aba and see how people lives side by side with stinking mountain of refuse dumps.

If you have been in Lagos for most of the day, outside. Just use a white hand towel to wipe your face and look at the result. It will be covered in pure thick black smug from unroad worthy autos and industrial pollution and that is exactly what people are breathing day in day out into their lungs- far worse than smoking.

Just like the poster said, I have also witness a man with cutlass cutting the grass as the plane taxi along the tarmac at the MMA just a year ago. How can that happen in the 21st century? How much does a lawn mower cost?

My people use to says that "a king who always hate to be told the truth will one day enter the village square with excrement of his on his clothe because no one dare tell him the truth".

God bless you for upholding the truth for the sake of your beloved Country!

Why does every Lagos picture have to be from the Island? Is that the only part of Lagos allowed to put up online

@Sammy107_d

Note: Photo numbering is top to bottom as you scroll down.

1) Photographs 1-5: Is that green but narrow stretch of land a public park? If so, what is it called?

2) Photograph 10: The green area by the waterfront. Is that a public park? Do you know if there are plans to keep that area an open space?

3) Would you know if Lagos has public parks similar to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, or Central Park in New York?

4) Are there even public parks in Lagos? I don’t mean small public gardens such as the Muri Okunola “park” on VI.

The large opened space by the waterfront doesn't look like a park to me, more like a station for local fishermen. The little, well manicured,  rectangle by the highway looks like a recreational spot though.
