After the stoning and burning who is deceiving who?
If these are the type of actions you want from us, Nigerians sorry for disappointing you for good because we are better....
Haven't heard of peaceful protest?
i would have supported you in this if you mentioned it....
Please never compare us, Nigerians with those South brothers of ours... Hope you got the message...?
Thanks and God bless.

You have been protesting peacefully for years and nothing is being done. Unless the people take matters into their hands this is the kind of things you will continue to see.

How can you drive on this road and not want to stone the governor?

MY GOD!!!!!

because two wrongs don't make a right... there are positive ways of bestowing our grievances on them... the problem is that the average Nigerian is very corrupt and is an opportunist in the little chance given to him....
our problem is not our politicians but the average Nigerian...
Any day the average Nigeria becomes sane in discerning and doing right thereby cull the canckerworm called corruption then the politicians will repent.... Most betray others even after shouting before their mouth were watered from the political sectors...

it can be quite frustrating getting to cele bus stop each morning. I'm stuck in traffic at okota roundabout as I type this.
The state of the Nigerian roads are an eyesore. You need to see Apapa which is where I'm heading to. SMH

still looks better than the one posted a day ago about abakaliki roads. in this one you can see tar, albeit potted here and there. in the aba one it is pure red mud

having said all that, i think this is a job opportunity waited to be exploited. someone should open up companies for tarring road and then hustle for govt contracts. a bunch of you niggas need to get together. put your money together and form a conglomerate. but noooooo you niggas are looking for work.

Your idea is nice but it seems you don't live in Nigeria. Those in govt will rather give the contracts to their family members and even if you do get the contract you'll have to "share the money" among those who gave you the contracts in the first place. Believe it or not, roads as bad as that get allocation for renovation but those in power will rather buy new houses, cars and sleep with girls that are in the same age group with their kids.

As long as the roads continue being bad, they continue to allocate and then loot the funds. That's the bitter truth

If I were the Governor of this state, I will never fix the road, if I have my way I will rather make it worse. The inhabitants do not deserve anything good from the government of Lagos State

Nothing ever changes there, that road has been in that deplorable state for well over a decade. No inspirations,no new ideas and no innovations. It is like a system that is firmly static and unprogressive.

These pictures were taken today 28th of June 2015 at 7am.

These pictures depict the deplorable state of Okota road. What is even most disturbing is the fact that this road is not listed as part of the roads earmarked to be fixed by the LASG.

l mentioned this road okota - cele road yesterday I saw the list of soon to rehabilitate road in Lagos state, meanwhile the reconstruction of Ago palace way has been abandoned, after initial eye service or gra gra by ambode,abi APC.

Re: Deplorable State Of Okota Road (PHOTOS) by redsun(m): 8:17pm On Jun 28, 2015
With these kind of roads in Nigerian cities,Nigerians don't really deserve to drive. Even horse pulled carriages can't vope on such roads.

The concept of roads goes hand in hand with the concept of vehicular mechanism and that opens doors to a whole new world where things can be made at will and needs met.
