This is a good narrative of what an average Lagosian should be saying about the state. Not all this no man's land stuffs that is bound to land this thread into the abyss of tribalism. 1 Like |

JusticeABC: Look, the only reason you seldom hear the phrase "Eko o'ni baje" any more is because in REALITY, under Ambode, a lot of things done dey b'aje for Lagos! Lagosians just dont shout slogans, if they are not seeing and feeling the impact! Lagosians are likely the smartest peeps in Nigeria. All Ambode does is erect big signboards of himself all over the place, "promising" to start repair work on a Road, he will dig up the road and then abandon it, causing even more hardship to the road users (Go and Check Borno Way in Ebute Metta ...... l dorve past the place in January and then a week ago.) Insecurity is a huge problem in Lagos, you'll likely get robbed once its after 7pm! Area Boys and Omo-Oni'le are harassing people up and down, at every Junction you drive past! Some of these Criminals will even tell you that The "Government has given them the green-light for their activities" and the Police gives them cover! Even worse are the criminals occupying LGA seats as chairmen/persons! Go and look at all street roads (which falls under their purview)..... its so bad you will think a Tsunami passed by because they just share the LGA allocation and the Governor smiles at them (I know some of these LGA chairs complain quietly about how the Governor and his tin-god at Bourdillon force them to part with a large chunk of their allocation while they loot the rest). EFCC and other Security agencies must save us from the grip of these Thugs installed as LGA chairs. We want credible people to hold those posts as it is the grass-root and closest arm of Government to the people...... but with the "annointing policy" of APC, how will that happen? Eko is gradually 'baje-in, if Ambode would not get down to real work ....and stop his frequent night-clubbing activities! I hope he is aware that the Public Water Works have been off for almost five days now, and this wont be the first time under his leadership! It was not this frequent under Fashola. Anyway, l blame Tinubu for foisting "omo-baba" on APC.... since PDP is a no-go area in Lagos! Lastpage! 4 Likes |

candyboy: Dey dia and be deceiving your self. Ambode appointed a Northerner to his cabinet Igbos are winning elections in more than one constituency in Lagos. The head of the 25billion employment fund, Omoigui-Okauru, is not a Lagosian If you like, don't adapt with the times. Remain archaic like a tree until the flood of change will sweep you away 3 Likes |

I really agree with the op. I was kinda scared going to lag for d first time last year that I was too conscious n careful, but after 2 visits, though I don't know much about lag, I can say it is not as bad as d reports I have been hearing since I was a kid. in fact, I miss lag everyday n I hope I get a job in lag soon. but d tribal sentiment is something that must b taken care of, sensed a lot if it. imagine a load pusher that carried my bags was so convinced Yorubas are evil n wicked, he was an Edo man, n I just completed my service year in Edo, so I made him realize Edo people too are wicked lol. but d traffic? jeez! |
