Aderostock:
Tell this to your mugus not us. I have lived in Abuja and it can never be like Lagos till Jesus will come. Am not exaggerating here but writing the truth. Most of the street lights in abuja are malfunctioning, this cannot be said of Lagos. Only the central district of Abuja can be compared to Ikeja not even Lagos island. No place in Nigeria can be rated along Lagos under Fashola. He remains the only visionary leader from the crop of leaders of today Nigeria. Who can be compared with him?

Of course Abuja can't be like Lagos. That's because Nigeria's FCT is well planned and WAAAAAAAAY AHEAD of madhouse called in every aspect.

This is exactly what I have been saying, Nigerian leaders are corrupt irrespective of their parties. If ACN=APC=NCAPor whatever they are, takes over power(God almighty forbid) this is what we will be experiencing and their bigot will be two blind to see what is wrong. I thought ACN ruling states are like the heavens. And this Kettle known as APC will call PDP Black.

Sorry, is Lagos no longer run by St Fashola?

Of course it's still ruled by St. Fashola, a member of the "holy" trinity (Tinubu the god-father, Fashola the stoo........sorry, son, and the "holier than dow" members of ACN/APC/armoured car)

You people always pretend everything is alright in lagos,when some of us have not gone to other parts of the country,for the basis of comparism,lagos state roads are bad,simple,the few motorable ones are major roads and mostly dual federal roads,the ones that are constructed is taking too long to be fixed,so why do you always hide from the truth when it comes to lagos issues.I am not moved by media propangada,try and see for yourselves,move around and be objective in with your assesments.

@op and friends, what they are saying is that lagos is a place far better than your village, local government or even state!!

america, uk, malaysia and so many other countries you cockroaches run to and refuse to come back (committing all sorts of...) are not perfect but by our standards they are heaven on earth, so its simple, by your village/state standard is lagos not far better?

if no, then why aren't a lot of people and their own moving back home? it seems fashola is giving some people in abuja sleepless nights, his 2term is up so they may have to contend with another wide appeal, even younger more energetic candidate with good record that they cant label an islamist, i already don de pity GEJ grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Please see some areas in the UK... You would not expect to find places like this in a developed country like this.

We NIGERIANS are our own worst enemies, Fashola has done for Lagos what no other Governor has done. You cannot expect 100% transformation, its not possible. Rather than be critical let us learn to applaud the good in people. Shamefully you could only upload two bearly visible photos, please show us the more that is to come...
So!! What's my business with a dumping ground in the UK probably that's where u can afford to live and u want Lagos to also look like that.. Sorry Fashola is Working Lagosians are Suffering.

With over $50 billion in GDP, Lagos can do better than having a few asphalt streets. Nigerians must say no to corruption!!

Looking at this roads I don't see any one being Untarred or filled with portholes. So guy do I pray for Lagos to be like this so u will be satisfied and praise the governor that he is doing well? If so then look up the dictionary and get a name that will qualify your stupidity. Thanks

Lagos is a city tht has gotten her master plan bastardized over the years by past admos you shuld also take into cognizance the fact tht the insfractructure of the state is over strecthed due to its huge population.
However the state is really making giant strides with the govts attempt to transform it particularly in the area of roads.I knw for sure tht I can give this govt 70% pass mark on the issue of roads in the state.

Op I just came into lag for the first time in my life on wednesday and this is the only city in Nigeria that's not overhyped.
This city blew my mind away.
Abuja is learning compared to lagos and portharcourt is still a growing child.
I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly in this state but its still to best.

God bless everyone that contributed to making this state what it is.

God bless Fashola.

I'm igbo by the way.

Nothing of such thing gets fixed overnight, but it is possible over time with honest and sincere efforts which gej is yet to show nigerians and instead he's heading the other way and even encouraging it by sounding himself with corrupt people and pardoning ex convicts and international fugitive. It is on record that this is the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria.


Obviously, you either don't know the meaning of hypocrisy or you just misused it.

and fashola surrounded himself with saints like Tinubu the pope abi?it's always easier to throw stones from one's abode.

Comparison between Nigeria and US, UK and so on comes out of unreasonable mind and display of frustration. The reason is not far fetched, US & UK have been in stably democratically elected government for over a century, and Nigeria came of the shackle of military destructive government, and yet you expect Nigeria to measure up to UK & US within fourteen years of democratically elected government. Even a five years old child cannot make such a comparison. Just a matter of time and Nigeria, not just Lagos streets will look like the streets in UK & US. Naija for life! Lagos for life!


The UAE has never had a democracy

They are talking about bad roads, this one is showing us file pictures of uninhabited blocks in 70s UK.

Are you not ashamed that even the road in the ghetto you tried to depict in your post is tarred?
