Lagos is the biggest contradiction in the world today.
The 5th largest economy in Africa ( which means it generates huge income),
yet one of the most unliveable places in the world due to
lack of social and health services, lack of order, no electricity, bad electricity, bad roads, bad transportation, no flood prevention, bad emergency services, failing schools, bad policing, bad sanitation and more.

The question begging to be answered is where has all this huge income gone?

Reference:
There is something I just cannot get my head around concerning infrastructure in Nigeria.

For years and years I have always wondered how in heaven and earth can a bridge be flooded. How a bridge can turn to an aqueduct must be the 8th wonder of the world requiring the intervention of Discover Channel's
Massive Engineering Mistakes.

You drive through a flooded bridge then look down to the valley or river flowing below like you're on some thrill ride in a water park.....

The bullshit. I think you're projecting your village on Lagos.

Meanwhile, Lagos-Ibadan express is a federal road, not necessarily Lagos government's responsibility. Lagos government will first have to take orders from the federal government if they want to do anything. They can't do anything without federal government giving them the go ahead first. Moreover, flooding is not an unusual sight.. it happens everywhere, including in European countries. Of course measures need to be taken to control it.

Where all the money went?

First, let me point out that someone made such economy possible for Lagos to be generating a lot of money despite the fact that he met little, not helped by the seizure of Lagos' allocation by Obasanjo

So what the money was used for?

Investment into Lekki seaport.

Investment into Eko Atlantic

Investment into largest Africa rice mills.

Investment into metro rail.

Investment into Lekki free trade zone.

Good health care and services.

Regular payment of salaries and Pensions..

And so-on..

Next week, I would post photos of London being submerged by rain.

Maybe it is also a contradiction.

AntiChristian:
And no be even Lagos but Lagos-Ibadan Expressway which can be either Ogun state or Oyo State!

Once they see Lagos like this...they become EEiidiots!

And na there them dey scot!

datola:


So, other mega cities around the world don't get flooded

Massiveglory:
See lagoon. Sorry lagos

wirinet:

Na wa o! You must either be a staff of the Lagos State Government or have an interest in the government.

London that respond to emergency situation including floods, fire, accidents or other disasters immediately is the one you are comparing to Lagos State Government that's only interested in revenue generation?

See here on how Westminster City Council respond to floods - https://www.westminster.gov.uk/residents/floods/july-2021-flooding/westminsters-responsibilities

I hate people bringing up that "seizure of Lagos allocation by Obasanjo", that's not entirely truthful. We that witness that episode are still alive to tell the truth. Obasanjo "withheld" Lagos State Local government allocations for about 3 years due to disagreement of creation of Local government Council areas by Tinubu. When Yaradua came into power, he paid the whole withheld allocations to Fashola in one fell swoop. So I don't understand why you guys still use that withheld allocation as an excuse when anyone criticises Lagos State Government 15 year later.

What i don't like about you guys (and all sides are guilty) is that you reduce any criticism of the government or persons you support to emotional attacks. Leave all those personal, tribal or emotional attacks and attack the issues raises itself. All governments are criticized the world over, even in autocratic regimes. Its left for the government and supporters to respond intellectually to the issues raised.

A video that surfaced on Monday has shown the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway long bridge submerged following rainfall.

The expressway has also been closed to traffic.

In the video, a voice could be heard saying, "This is long bridge."

Why don't you tell us the amount of local government allocation and state allocation? Start from there first.

Armchair delivering BS from his coffers as if he's in government. As if you know better than Osinbajo who confirmed it and note, Osinbajo worked under Tinubu during the time.

I honestly don't understand what you mean by the rubbish you wrote up there.

Here is the report of the release of the Local government allocations by Yaradua.

wirinet:


Poor maintenance. Sand, pure water nylon and other debris has blocked the drainage designed to remove flood water from the bridge. The money budgeted for maintenance has been stolen.
