The bolded part got me laughing, bruv how do you identify who is lagosian? is fashola not from ibadan but his parents gave his birth in lagos? Now my question is how can someone who was born in lagos and who by birth is automatically a lagosian leave lagos? You guys need to stop swimming in tribalism.

If they are Lagosians as claimed, why bring tribal stuff into the LASG proposed move . You have to maintain one consistent view and stop bending facts to suit your biased arguement

Demdem: Still Afam hasn't justified why my post is hidden. My not been banned suggest that I commited no offence. No doubt, Afam is a bigot.

Afam4eva:
That's one of the reasons why i fault Fashola's style of doing things. he always takes the easy way out rather than tackling the issues from the root.

Afam4eva: these traders should be made to pay a tax for the cleaning of these markets or it should be added to the tax that they already pay to the government.

onitshaigbo:

What you said is true, but the problem is that there are many many markets that violate state laws. The state government however is only closing down those that are dominated by Igbos.

manny4life:

One of my post was hidden as well, so what gives?

I'm sure if you ask others or poll it, other posters have their hidden, what gives?

manny4life:

My friend, use your glasses this time and READ AGAIN.

He said he doesn't know of any market that isn't dirty, in that case 90% of all market should be closed, including ketu and mile 12 and every other market in several cities till it has achieved the 90% passmark, understand the English?



Geez, yall read meaning into nothing.

OAM4J:

You called the poster you were responding to a fool before making your point. I have edited your post removing the insult and its now visible. Please lets try and be civil even when we disagree with each other.

Thanks.

Demdem:

Demdem isn't the same as manny likewise our posts. Mine was loaded with truths and didn't derail, don't know about urs.
Urs may be justified but mine surely wasn't. Afam is a bigot.

manny4life:


I bet he'll close it down, an open market that controls the entire economy of Lagos, perhaps if he does, he will tell me all them taxes and fees he's collecting, where he will get them from.


More reasons why Fashola should not even be allowed to come near presidency because his thinking is just straightforward. You don't solve issues like that, you explore ALL possible options, and closing down a market because it's dirty is the one of the most stupid reasons I've heard.

I've always said this, and this is not about Igbos ONLY, but others as well, LAGOS is gradually becoming business unfriendly. People need to start looking for other alternatives, whether it's Ladipo or mile 12 or Ketu or whichever, it's WRONG.

seunajia:

English man, I don't still understand o, you'll do well to explain again.

And while at it, please explain away the sudden disappearance of that his first post, where I quoted it in my reply to him, and his subsequent other posts in reply to me--since "fixing it" is your stock in trade.

manny4life:

You're right about us not being the same, obviously mine wasn't filled with insults but with truth as well. I quoted someone, and perhaps, I guess it was hidden.

Anyway, the beauty of freedom of expression at its very best is the ability to speak your mind with fear of persecution. Afam may be a bigot to you, but to many he isn't. Just like the other mod who was quite disrespectful, does it make him a bigot, NO.... Anyway, you're entitled to your campaign.

ba7man: This shutting down is long over-due. I remember someone posted pics of Ladipo market once on NL and a lot of people were quick to start pointing fingers at how dirty Lagos is. Now LASG is about to take decisive measures and some people are still complaining. Frankly, filth is not the only problem there but criminal traders are also plentiful there. The population has to be reduced there to give the market a saner face. We are past year 2000 and heading towards year 3000 and some people still want to defend backwardness, force is the main Language a lot of Nigerians understand. If you don't treat them like animals, they'll never learn.

Demdem:

Abegii spare me ur rants. Because urs was hidden doesn't justify mine. Leave it at that. I called him a fool because he has always been one. No apology for that.

manny4life:

Explain what? When you put on your reading glasses, then I will dissect words by words for you to understand, till then, it's a futile attempt.

What's my business about him quoting you? If you have issues with the "fixing" of the post, ask him. What concerned me is you stated he's statement was hateful and bigoted and he should be an ambassador and I stated it wasn't but a comment that doesn't reflect any tribal sentiments...

Fixing is our stock in trade? It will do you well if you're to avoid calling names, I'm trying to be respectful on here, please refrain from sarcastic comments.

manny4life:

Exactly!

I guess your campaign all these while was indeed rants?

At least you called him a fool, I did not insult anyone so you're right, yours had justification... No apology for that either. Advise, before you go on a smear campaign, look at yourself.... Leave it at that, peace.

Demdem: The issue at stake goes beyond a clean market but the inability of the occupiers of this market to obey basic enviromental laws which are being implemented in other markets. Defaulting markets before now has been sanctioned and closed down so why should this be an exception?

Again kudos to Fashola and I hope this will be extended to all markets in lagos.
Amaechi is doing something similar here in oil mill market in ph, no one is talking about igbo cleansing oooo.

Demdem:

Crap. I called someone by his name and u are here talking rubbish. U really need to put ur brain to work. What smear campaign are u involved with.

manny4life:

Exactly! Just like you call retardeen, you call someone by his name "FOOL" abi? Now that you've seen your wrong and hidden comment was justified, who was the bigger fool between you both?


How do you throw the first punch and then call him bigot, coward, etc... Go back between the last two pages.. Abeg, while my brain is yet to be put to work, I think you need to relax yours. Information overload can damage the brain circuit thus making it causing breach...

I'm not and have NEVER been involved with any smear campaign. I have no time for such bullshit. I call you out, call it quit and let it go... That's Manny, but unfortunately, Manny can't be others and vice versa.

Once more, leave it at that --- peace brother

sammhi: LASG officials are just thieves . period. they want to shut the market so they can grease their palms before re- opening.
is it the market people that will clear the drainage? what infrastructure is in place to ensure that the market is clean ?
i once visited that market and it is an eye sore. ...yet these people pay tax to Fasola and they receive nothing in return . the roads are terrible with blocked drains constructed ages ago.
i wish the ibos can just abandon the market and see who loose? they can go to neighboring Ogun state and get land for the spare part and they will fare better
i will advise the market union to sue Fasola if they close the market
this is pure cheating and oppression of the people. Ole ni Fasola and his cronies called officials
