Lol . .But the good news is that in Lagos, you rarely find the Anopheles spps who are vectors of the malaria causing pathogens . . .they ( Anopheles), are clearly minute in the scheme of things . . .

Relief huh !!

who told you that? Did you conduct a census to find out if the female anopheles mosquitos are rare? The male aedes mosquitoes(which causes yellow fever) are the rare types of mosquitos.the rate at which lagosians fall ill of malaria shows you that there are anopheles mosquitos everywhere.

doing the right thing in the wrong place

By so doing, sanity will gradually return to Lagos. He should take it one step further by making it mandatory that all those corroded roofs that is giving Lagos a bad look be replaced with Aluminium roofs.

I've been thinking about this for some time now. lagos is very smaall in land mass but has a huge population. Just imagine an earthquake or Hurricane(God forbid) in Lagos. Our best brains, human resources, infrastructures etc will be wasted. We have to decentralize and fast.

we, we, we. Who are these "we"? Abeg keep your we's to your okrika brodas jo. Na wen e dey sweet you go dey hear we. Awon ole, jegudujera. E jo o, iya egbe mo iye omo toun bi o. Awa infakstukshos. Oleeee!! barawo banza!!!

Then start paying beautification allowances to each and every household before enforcing the new law.

My dear, we have more of the Culex spps than Anopheles, i have a PHD colleague who goes hunting for Anopheles regularly but comes back empty . . .He even has to rely on alerts on where he can get them . .and am serious here. . .

Around Makoko/Iwaya with the largest population of Mosquitoes in Africa sorry Nigeria . . A population sampling will yield Culex 7/10 . .afterall . .the other 3 are capable of causing Malaria as well . . .

If we had enormous amount of Anopheles as we have Culex . . . . People like me who go for an average of 14 months without malaria won't boast of such . . .

Well back to the thread sweet . . . .

I wish that earthquake on your papaland fest. Oloshi, doomsayer. When it's not your land, how would you not wish ill upon it. Awon omo koniran jatijati.

Na today?

tell that your friend to come to my area and collect anopheles mosquitoes as much as he wants.the thing yapa for my area.infact there is a breeding ground where he needs a trailer to carry them.lol! Anyway I haven't heard much about the culex. Good for you that you aint the malaria prone type.

omayyi :
Furthermore, something needs to be done to curtail the population explosion in lagos. Something like visa requirement before u come to lagos. That place is too congested.

LOL...if d congestion tire U, i believe ur village de scanty, go back there na.

Well, personally Lagos is synonymous with mosquitoes . It's census in that filthy city will shock experts . Seems the state govt care less about it....

Although its a good intention but it should be carried out with diplomacy.

Your Excellency, your idea is very good and the intention very nice, but the problem is the people. Neatness leads to Godliness. There are houses and areas you cannot stay for an hour in Lagos without contacting a disease. Many houses have outlived their relevancies while the landlords are still taking the rents at the modern day’s house rents. Your Excellency I would like you to sign into a law for the landlords of the poorly constructed buildings in all the Lagos state to go into partnership with government, business men, co-operate bodies, local and foreign partners to construct high stories buildings in a well arranged form as we see in the western world, so that the city will be more beautiful and lesson the accommodation problems in Lagos. Thank you for your great visions and zeal to make a change in the country. You and Owelle Rochas A.Okorocha ‘s transformation agenda are the only visible and noticeable ones. God bless you guys for your sincere and laudable leaderships in your respective states.

Lol . . Which area be this abeg cos my guy don hunt tire .You might just be that breakthrough he desires in his research work . . .

Meanwhile, E fit be culex wey yapa soo . . .cos na small thing differentiate them from Anopheles appearance wise . . .

If you don't like the rules, go to "your own state".

Fly into Lagos and see how the outskirts look like shit.
We complain about the government not doing enough but how many homes in Lagos actually do their part?

Nigeria is inhabited & governed by Nigerians; neither of these is outsourced. Help fix the country or keep running abroad as second class in most cases.

good work Fashola....ride on boss!

I looove this Fashola guy & his government man. The guy is blllleeeeesseeed with the knowledge & ability of great leadership. Nigerians are very veeery undisciplined & the only thing that can work for us is the attachment of stringent punishments to laws. That's the only way Nigeria can move forward. God Bless Fashola. Amen. We need more leaders like him.

What is beautification in this context- Painting of building, Cleaning the environment, Planting of flowers and trees?

They need to be specific please, else innocent lives will rot in jails, couple with our overzealous law enforcement officers.

pro01: This man is fast becoming a lunatic, perhaps intoxicated by his executive powers as governor. I have since lost all regard for him. You can't just go about criminalising every ridiculous thing you deem fit. Not even in the heyday of Abacha's tyranny did we witness such reckless abuse of state power.

Smoking in my own car is now a criminal offence, refusing to wear an unhygenic and filthy public helmet when using an 'Okada' is now a criminal offence. Refusing to 'beautify' (by whose standards?) my own house is also now a criminal offence. Is this guy a bloody m0ron? I thought this oaf was supposed to be learned?

Actually, he is learned. Anything can be criminalized if backed by the law. Even whistling in a public place can become a criminal offense if passed into law. Governor Fashola is actually using his knowledge of the legal practice and constitution to create laws through the state legislature to achieve his governments goals. He is acting within the law. Sorry!

Not again! Too many laws in a short period.

Desola:

we, we, we. Who are these "we"? Abeg keep your we's to your okrika brodas jo. Na wen e dey sweet you go dey hear we. Awon ole, jegudujera. E jo o, iya egbe mo iye omo toun bi o. Awa infakstukshos. Oleeee!! barawo banza!!!

With all due respect, you're the dullest Nigerian I know.

why most people troop to Lagos, is due to buisness oportunities.. buisness abounds everywhere in lagos. take a look at d environment and figure out wat pple need most, and yur product will sell.. buisness wise, it pays to stay in lagos for some period of years.

So many rules n regs already in place, now this? fashola i hail thee. . .

I wonder what some people here are complaining about. Landlords are collecting from as little as N250k - to N800K or more in areas like Igando, Iyana Ipaja, Mushin, Agege, Isale Eko and so on for a 3-bedroom flat and they can't set aside some money to repaint and beautify their premises every 3-5years? Won't you want to live in a house that looks clean and presentable. Land developers are building estates all over the place with no drainage and basic road networks and we don't complain about that?

This same Fashola tried to put a law in place to get landlords to collect just a years rent and even tenants where saying it can never work. What is our problem. Let's get serious abeg. Abi suffer-head don enter our body so tey we no want better thing?

Thss now become offensive to kiss your babe or admire another man babe in the public.. If u do so 6 month of madt sex in bed

Misguided laws from a loose cannon.Wrong priorities,wrong execution.

A tyrant in the make.. Gross abuse of people's rights all in the name of social orderliness.. End results of over praising a propaganda..

This is not a bad policy coming from the lagos state government. I've always thought of something like this, but can't but pounder how It's going to work. Esp in Nigeria. Whenever i watch foreign movies and see how beautiful there street are, fully decorated with flower. That alone is natures' welcoming. Knowing fully well that It's gonna help in reducing the rate of transpiration, and reduce the level of rainfall in a particular area. Which will also help to control flooding and erosion. Not to mention the few. Indeed, it is a welcome development for the people of lagos state. What they should do now is to create a platform where people can be enlightened about the effects and benefit of this policy. Which will also checkmate the number of people that might be prosecuted. Also, the lagos state government should assist in the whole process, because quite a number of people are not financially standard in executing this policy. And it would be a good thing if other state government emulate lagos. With that, I believe this will go a long way to build a better lagos and a better Nigeria.

IMAO! this is a Govenor Fashiola turned Gardner Fashiola . May God bless Lagos state and Nigeria.

And what would you suggest? We have already turned compulsory monthly sanitation exercise to Saturday football fiesta. So what's your own great advice?
