no wonder olamide keeps saying...street ti take over.

If I take you to bariga, My guy you go hate lagos oo
But seriously, The Government should look into this matter..Chai, Iba better pass dis place gan.

That's at the bottom of Ilaje road. I grew up at the top end of that same road. Attended lesson in the area. Went to church there. Played in the game centres there. Played on the lagoon banks there.

I don't think I turned out too bad...

Chai some people are really suffering

Hmmmmm

holyshiiit

Estimable:
There is no much difference btw most bloggers and Lie Mohammed

...wey the logic inside this statement?...

Smellymouth:
Pishure of Olamide roaming this street or Adonbilivit

Olamide is just from a middle class fam. Make una nor dey make am look like Omo Ale..
It's not abt singing abt d ghetto n street life.. Every lagosian that grew up in d mainland knows abt street credibility
I will say it again, Reminisce, Seriki are more "street" than this dude.
Thank u..

Thanks jare. That he sings about ghetto and street doesn't mean he is from there. Olamide's parents are middle class folks.

Lol when anybody wants to beef Ibadan they show the old brown roofs building but they forget to check out too many classic areas with magnificent architectural building.. I no fit shout

And back at the topic.. Like it or not Olamide's "streetness" only goes as far as his lyrics.. dude never lived in a place like this

hyaaa....some people are really suffering

This is a freaking lie...this is not where olamide lived...we lived close wen we were kids (dou we dint mit) and dat is not my street.......

Kanwuliajara was this the Lagos you were referring to when you said Lagos is dirty

So people actually living here

How come they don't get sick with thyphoid or other ailments abi health inspection workers never reach here

This is really sad

OP, this is not a true representation of Bariga. There are slums everywhere. You cant show Ilaje area and say thats how Bariga is.

I grew up in Bariga, Olorunkemi Street to be pricise n my street is not like this.

pls stop misleading people.

Where Olamide house Na?!

GodMode:


In a shelter or they go back to their family house.

Its not by force to live in a city they can't afford.

In a shelter? Here in Nigeria or another country? Lool.

What of those who are the indigenes and that is their "family house" what happens to them? You don't just scream demolish the slums, profer a solution too.

Your mentality is a problem and so many other Nigerians think like you.

What's in building a shelter

The indigenes also contribute to it been dirty.. If their family owns land there then they will be compensated and evicted.

Kolababe:
Most of you have heard different tales about the notorious Bariga. Here are photos from a part of the area. This side is the Araromi street side of Bariga which is dominated by the 'Ilajes' and the 'Eguns' and their most popular occupation there is fishing because the area faces the ocean around the Third Mainland Bridge.


Here, there is extreme poverty, as in E-X-T-R-E-M-E P-O-V-E-R-T-Y. Most of the women roast fish to survive, many of the ladies and guys take to all types of vices. There is only one school in the area(pictured below) provided by a white man who visited the area sometime ago. Yet, there are all sorts of talents in there. From rapping to dancing, the youths of the Barigahood possess them in abundants.

But it looks like government sees the people in this slum as outcasts because development is far away from that area, yet it's in a Mega City called Lagos. Past government rather than contributing to developing the area, visit some parts to destroy houses and render many homeless
Thus, the people have come to develop a deep hatred for the word 'government'.

Meanwhile, the guys and babes in this hood no dey smile at all O and their eyes dey red die! (if you know what we mean)
