Pictures Of The Week (Ugly Side Of Lagos)

What a disgrace to a nation of about 140 million people. Our politicians live in Palaces while the less privileged wander in self pity. This is the supposed epic center of Africa. I weep for my country, and etteh was to renovote her official resident with 600 + million Naira, and never was she ever probed. Papa Iyabo has done his damage, what then do we expect from Baba Malam?

  i comment my reserve!

L A G O S!!!!!!!!!

It is disgrace to humanity,worst of all is that people think it's normal because that is what they are born into,it's been registered in the brain and immune system that it is a way of life,orientation.
Situations like reminds me of Idiagbon,he was an angel who wanted to inculcate common sense in nigerians,it will only take an iron hand to change the mentality of people that live like that,even rats take more pride in their enviroments than so-called humans,talk of beavers,of termites,spider,ants,even birds, they put in more innitiatives and efforts to make their habitat and surronding better than we humans,they design,construct,maintain,demolish and rebuild.
Poverty is not filth,you don't have to be rich to be clean,it is part of human instint to maintain and live in a descent enviroment,so if you don't have it,you better question your being;Apart from short period of Idiagbon regime,nigeria has never had a goverment,you can't have a goverment in a place that look like this and the people as well,should begin to look beyond their noses and see themselves as human beings,some how people deserve the goverment they get,because the same circle of retardment are same people that eventually grab political offices.so it's vicious circle that we need to break away from and teach the children a new message,a message of mere common sense and accountability,it will only take one generation to change things for good.'
Some times i wonder why we should be angry when people like watson call us names,niggas.

This thread is kind of silly. It doesn't take much searching to see the ugly side of Lagos. In fact as soon as you get out of MMA, you can see it  all around you. It is completely unavoidable. If Lagos was thought of as some sort of paradise, then I'd understand. But people all over the world already have low expectations of Lagos, Nigeria. And if you ask me, the pics in the Lagos skyline thread are not very impressive in the first place. Unlike the Kenya thread which was a very impressive. So I just don't see the point of this thread.

Despite it all, Lagos still my favourite place in all of Naija, and no other state even compares.

@ egin,this last picture is just kind of weird.Poor little kids.

It's pity,

take down the pictures!!!   

those pics are really bad but still,the pics are true and its his site he can decide to allow anything to be posted.y should we hide it,so we should continue suffering and smiling, abi no sir

imagine, he just ban a guy for commenting om how bad the picture's are

so if am a seun then what?

If these pictures can make their way o the front pages of Nigerian newspapers,
the governor and his underlings maybe motivated to take their work more seriously.

Why you feel ashamed showing those pictures public? Nothing wrong with showing poverty pictures.

I have seen MANY MANY MANY other foreign countries including USA displaying their poverty pictures everywhere.

GOOGLE! GOOGLE! GOOGLE!

And to think that US president Bush is visiting Nigeria next month (January 2008). YarAdua should take him on a tour of Lagos (and other dilapidated cities).
Hey folks, at this rate, what do you think Nigeria will be like in 10 years time? 20 years time? 50 years time?

Please take down that HORRIBLE picture. LMAO!!!
