I think the shithole people are trying to understand that shithole smells

nice move tho,but on the other hand provision of a kind ought to be made for the cart pushers for an alternative way of making their daily means of livelihood

this is good. I love it.
majority of these guys are spies and terrorists in disguise.
well done A+

What alternatives are they providing for these hapless and hard working citizens?Kidnapping and armed robbery abi? .they always try to run before walking.Cart pushing could be sanitize in such a way that it will generate revenue money for the government without having to put people out of jobs.

CplusJason:
Good one from the Lagos State Government.


All hand must be on deck to keep this shithole clean.

lol. the shithole indeed!

This is so unfair! what are they going to do for money and job, how are they going to feed their families?

Lagos State Government on Monday arrested 30 cart pushers for dumping refuse indiscriminately on road medians in some areas of the State in the middle of the night.

Chairman of the State’s Task Force on Environmental and Other Special Offences (Enforcement Unit), SP Olayinka Egbeyemi who spoke to journalists, said the arrest was in line with the recent ban on the activities of cart pushers and wheel barrow operators by the State Government.

Egbeyemi, who affirmed that the activities of cart pushers in the State are illegal, said investigations found them culpable in dumping refuse on the road side especially at night thereby sabotaging efforts by the Government to keep the State clean.

He said the Government is poised to go all out to prosecute any persons found to be working against the new waste management policy encapsulated in the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI), saying the programme is designed to revolutionalise waste administration in line with global best practices when fully operational.

“There are reports that refuse are littering the Lekki, Victoria Island, Ajah and other parts of the State and investigations reveal that it is the handiwork of unscrupulous elements within Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and their outside sponsors who are not comfortable with the new arrangement for the management of waste in the State and are hell bent on sabotaging government effort and frustrating them from carrying it out.

Egbeyemi said the suspects arrested would soon be charged to court for prosecution, just as he assured that Government would leave no stone unturned in keeping the State safe and clean.

Besides, the Task Force Chairman said that the enforcement would continue across the State until the activities of cart pushers and other unscrupulous elements found to be frustrating government’s efforts are completely brought to a halt.

When their brothers from Futa Jallon strike, I hope Lagos state can withstand it.

Shitholes

wunmi590:
Yes I am a lagocian and also part of progressive lagos, but what have they put in place to replace and help them stand?

Arm robbery one chance and hire killers

This pictures saddens me. These are very hardworking people. Isn’t there a way to train them on managing waste from their activities?

The parking spaces in congested lagos island are left in the hands of thugs. Something that could create jobs,revenues and most of all sanitize vehicles and human traffic in that chaotic environment.

Naijaphobia:
Cartsmen have from time immemorial been nomadic, scavenging for refuse from across the Senegambia to the gulf of guinea. Any law against their natural way of life is hate and would be violently resisted. Let it be known that what the Benue,taraba and plateau are facing with herdsmen would be child's play when we cartsmen pick up arms. For peace to reign cede portion of eastern and western Nigeria as our dump site colonies.


Thanks and may the cart Gods bless you all.

Attention seeker.

Food removed from d mouth of the struggling Nigerian cart pusher n some person are here applauding d governor.

Goes to show that a poor man has no stand in Nigeria. Go help us..

Poor makes it look like the laws of society are working and they are the first to bear the burden of every new change.

Albert gans- functions of poverty.

social psychology.

I can assure you that you're building potential hardened criminals. Their only crime was trying to make a living. Be careful how you execute policies without phases or alternate plans for the affected.

A responsible government will not take away the livelihood of law abiding and hard working citizens without providing a viable alternative to the displaced workers.

This is how they breed unwilling criminals. Shame on Lagos State government.

Exactly! You only need to move around Lagos to see how almost every street is being buried in dirt.

Regulating like you suggested will be a good one - the Cart guys go into the crannies and bring out to LAWMA for final evacuation

fr3do:
Can lawma handle every nook and cranny in lagos
cant these guys be regulated?

Good

You make a ban, there should be time before it goes into effect. Why not give them 30 days to get their lives together? Don't you realize you just took away their means of livelihood? What is it about Nigerian governance that aims to make life even more difficult for the helpless? SHAME ON YOU AMBODE, SHAME ON YOU!!!

What has he done now for all this complement? Is it not his job? What is 2019 president for?

Have they put any waste disposal measure in place before banning these fellows? Lagos is getting dirtier by the by the day with heaps of refuse on the roadsides. Lagos has not been this dirty in a long time.

Lagos wanna depopulate miscreants at all cost

Firefire:
Wickedness of the highest order!

Odee, Ambode is protecting people of Lagos... Unlike Benue governor

Any reason given for their removal from the street?

Zoolezoo:
lol these boys look Hausa-ish

Lol...... Must you talk? Haba!

Lol. You realize that there is not one single Nigerian in Nigeria right now that is fit to lead the country right? Let me give you all one very serious advice. Your best bet as a people is to go out into the world and find someone of Nigerian descent who has never lived nor grew up in Nigeria to come and lead you. Why? Because every single person in Nigeria has been tainted psychologically.

Im sure the Lagos state government has a waste management company where these guys can be recruited to sort out different kinda waste. Sort out plastic from papers and other stuff. You ban okada,ban danfo, ban truck pushers, ban street hawkers and some people are chanting itesiwaju eko. After same people will come to NL or go on twitter to start stupid threads of how their mirrors were broken and phones and belongings stolen while driving in traffic.

Nobody is saying anything about the touts shouting 'owo mi da' and collecting illegal money from people who are working hard and which the mumu govt still intends to ban. I don't see how a govt with a functioning brain will be banning people who are working to make a living and encourage touts and armed robbers who are raping, stealing and constituting all forms of nuisance. So the agberos are better than the danfo drivers, truck pushers, okada riders and street hawkers? itesiwaju eko indeed. They can only fool their blind followers.
