The population went wrong.The population has tripled and no of cars have increased by 10 folds.

...And infrastructure didn't increase correspondingly. Rail and other mass transit system ought to have been developed to ensure people can leave their motors at home and join the mass transit system.

i think we are better off now

bicycle owners now car owners..


forward ever
that's not being forward in any way. Jam packing the place with your cars and adding to global warming.? Always having to depend of fuel to Move?? Stagnant traffic that will make you get to your destination late Is that the forward ever. By the way. Having cars on the street is not a sign of forward ever. I can have a bicycle and still be Richer than you.. This is a problem we have here . Living more than our means.

Well, these orderly fine people gave birth to 21 million mad niggas...the rest they say is history.

On another note, I strongly suspect 20 million of these folks currently reside in Lagos grin.

Danfo driver never dey dat time cheesy







I DON LISTEN TO DIS SONG ALMOST 500 TIMES TODAY


Taxi waiting down the street so
Hurry up i have to go
Looking round you see all the people
making faces very cold
carry me away
far from the circle that never breaks
hey hey hey hey hey
going home going home
where this road goes I already know
where everybody cares for one another
and they take you as their sister
[chorus:]
Eyo o, eyo o
Eyo o, eyo o
where the children run around
There's laughing in the crowd
I hope it still remain the same
Eyo o, eyo o
Eyo o, eyo o
And there's something in the song
that make you feel at home
And that's what's calling out my name
Eyo,o eyo, o

how long when they are ready for takeoff
Tomorrow I could fly away
How she's scared and move all the way up
You might have a sunny day
Draining on me on stage
five years of aging I'm not afraid
Hey hey hey hey hey
going home, going home
Where this road goes I already know
Where everybody cares for one another
And they take as their brother
[Chorus]
O,o,o,o,o,o
Would you take me and embrace me as your own o
Would you take me and embrace me as your own o
[Chorus]

What do u expect the population of den lagos was around 3 million as against now lagos has a population of around 12 million people occupying the same land mass so it's simple and normal

Its not normal bro. If we do not control our birth rate and population, Nigeria will burst in future.
If we do not punish parents who have more than three kids and could not train them up to OND at least, then the unemployment rate at present is just warming up.
Some useless ones will say they do not know who will be the king. And l ask, if you were never a prince, will you ever be a king?
God bless Nigeria

Things started going bad during Shagari regime, Buhari/Idiagbon came with the "cane" alone and restored order, but IBB took-over and institutionalised corruption till date...

Now General Buhari is back to return Nigeria to orderliness...
...the good thing is, he has to use "carrot and cane" approach.
#CHANGE
go & sleep!

Some irresponsible parents will tell you they give birth to so many because they don't know who will be the king.
And l ask, if your were never a prince, can you ever be a king?
