Lagos don tire me ooo, if u know the kain traffic dz will cause

can we move lagos to Ibadan? the population is too much. a bunch of lazy lastma officials and passerby. so nobody fit run enter the fight to arrest am?

see lazy jobless big man sitdown for him car day take pictures instead of to go work. na picture dem pay am this morning to take? him mate dem don reach work since before the fire. useless man.

true talk oh. all these tankers are predominantly owned by hausa men. they send faulty cars with inexperienced drivers on the road because even if them kill people or the vehicle explode the law will not catch up with them. the accidens only happens in lagos and other states not the north.

dem don day build better roads for kano and street light as if the state produces anything. after building the road what is the use? no be for lagos, ogun and south south dem supposed day build all these things to accommodate the population and the carriage of fuel tanks?

make una think well oh
