Pictures Of The Week (Ugly Side Of Lagos)

This is the same country where somebody wanted to renovate a house with N628m.
You be the judge.

This is the same country that budgeted 65 billion for the members of the National assembly for the 2008 fiscal year while claiming that the budget is for the ordinary nigerian on the street, the same country that is trying to churn out 1 billion naira  to purchase new cars for the new ministers and presidentail advisers, this is also the same country that pastor oyedepo decleared will be great in 2011. Nigeria i hail thee, until all the poor masses open their eyes and start holding all their leaders accountable the status quo will remain for ever.

Some people on nairaland will tell you that poverty is a spirit that needs to be fought with the blood of jesus rather than pragmatic approach.

Only God can Judge

@ Kobojunkie

The pictures depicted above paint the true picture of things in most of Nigeria, there isnt any thing conflicting those that come from abroad get worshipped here they go back and tell lies to their friends that things are getting better, surely things are getting better for the politicians and the top government functionary but they picture posted above is the reality of about 65% or more of nigeria's population.

Oh sweet, sweet wind!

Na dorty be all this? Even most villages in Nigeria look better than this eye sore!


_{Once a Gigantic Capital of the Giant of Africa!!!!}


God bless America~~~~~~~!!!!!


Please can anyone post other pictures from any famous "world ghettos" to put Nigeria and Fashola to shame?

Nothing to hide Kobojunkie--it is there for all to see.  I am in my village right now and I swear, it is cleaner than this so called slum of a city!  So people can come out and say they live in this same Lagos?

May God help us all!

In fact, God is really helping us in Nigeria!  This environment can kill most indigenes of civilized countries--just by breathing the air alone!

wow

God help africa.

home sweet home!!!
now that is what abroad peeps miss and look forward toward seeing every xmas (awonboiz inclusive)

this is really poverty, 

more pics please.

@times i wonder what the criteria/criterium are/is for topics making it to the homepage,

Hmmmh!        for brand nigeria     

The worst thing about my country Nigeria is that the promised end of her plight is nowhere near our generation. if with all the billions of dollars the nation makes, we cannot build this nation to upgrade the living status of the common man even at this level of understanding, then hope is essentially lost. I confirmed that this nation is gone the day I read that a world body, whether IMF or World Bank listed my own proud country as among the "FAILED" Nations in the world. It's amazing because, if a nation is marked as "failed" that includes the fact that nothing good, as in absolutely nothing good can come out it. So, whatever one can do as an individual to live above minimum standard should be done by that individual. Suen has plugged in to assist himself. others should find a way as well. do not expect the present ruling class to assist in bringing any form of improvement in your finances. Do it your self or you die expecting!
