you need to tell a balanced story friend, if you are so proud of lagos, own the good and bad

^^^^^

You obviously don't know the meaning of city,


The joke is on you my friend,

Thank you Gekko for being objective.

The poster-Baba pupa is Fashola's paid agent. To him, Lagos is already El Dorado. He has never seen the inside of Ajegunle, Amukoko, Ijora Badia, Agege, Makoko, etc. The dirty and slummy areas in Lagos Island, Alimosho, Ojo, Badagry, Alagbado etc.

Lagos still has a long way to go. It was just recently named the 5th worst city in the world while its Governor is busing inflating contracts and looting the treasury

Obviously, I'm not here to dance to your expectations or have you dance to mine. It's a free world.

It's not y fault that grown folks do not know the meaning of city, they think Lagos state means Lagos city.

There is Lagos state and Lagos city. We have Lagos city council and Lagos City Hall for a reason.

Too bad I have to go trough this with folks with little or zero knowledge about Lagos state.

Be embarrassed at yourself, not me.

You attain objectivity the minute you figure out the difference between Lagos city and Lagos state. Ajegunle is a city by itself and the rest of the places you mentioned are not Lagos city.

Knowledge is power, seek it first before trying to correct or argue with other people. Don't blame me for your own ignorance.

So, the governor looted too? that's a new one, you learn new stuff on NL everyday.

Na you biko,

Lagos In Indeed The Dirtiest City, But

@ babapupa, you started this thread, your posted pictures; without any further illustrations will be meaningless to any  persons not familiar with Lagos as a city or state , bearing in mind this is the www.
how come you developed goose pimples when @gekko posted his/her pictures same way you displayed yours.
are we all supposed to be colour blind?

This will be one of the best and funniest thread . . . .eyes are watching

I posted pictures of Lagos city and he posted pictures of places outside Lagos city. Obviously, he misunderstood my post and was trying to counterbalance what I posted so, I simply let him know the difference between the 2.

It's OK to challenge my post based on what I claimed, not what I did not claim because I didn't say anything about other cities in Lagos state, I said Lagos city.

People just need to read and understand before going for their keyboards.


And if I might add, loving and being proud of your state is not a crime and it doesn't mean you are an apologist or a paid agent. It's nothing but pride and sense of belonging good or bad. I wish other folks have the same level of love and admiration for their different states, towns and villages. Part of our problem in Nigeria is the fact that a lot of us are very cynical about other people and fail to muster the same level of energy used in criticizing other people to do same back in our respective states. We spend too much time worrying about other people when in fact our is not any better.

Lagos is by far not a perfect state, but good or bad, it's still my state and I love it for what it is.

oya biafrans come scatter thread

do the sun ever shine in Lagos?

correct me if i'm wrong but isnt Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege, and co all part of Metropolitan Lagos.

Gekko:

actually Lagos is a state and not a city so, Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege, cant be part of a Metropolitan.
Lagos city differs from Lagos states parts Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege and co . . .

That guy could be Fash's press secretary.I don/t know what will make them realize that we don't have cities in nigeria,all we have are mega slums,even abuja is on its way to ruins.

People taht can't reason can't organize cities.

I am aware Lagos is a state, however i stand corrected. so where exactly in Lagos state is considered Lagos city?

For lagos to be a city all those hell holes like orile igamu,keto,ajegunle,oshodi,bariga,ikotu,agege,agbado-ijayr,iju.ejigboikotu,mile 12,name dem must updated to basic human habitational standard.

So babapupa's ashiri has finally opened in public?
. . .Grand bu'ttlicker.

I can't understand this kind of mentality with some Nigerians

If its not yours, do you have to scatter it?

I'm trying to believe you are NOT a kid!!!

What do you know about Lagos state?

Lagos City has nothing to do with anything beyond the 3 bridges. The city of Lagos is located on the Island and it's HQ is the Lagos City hall and it's been that way since the colonial era.

Each local government in Lagos state is a city with their own individual chairmen or Mayors.

Shed your Ignorance, Lagos city is not Lagos state, it's a city within Lagos state and it's on the Island, not mainland.


This is the seat of government in the city of Lagos and it's called Lagos city hall, not ajegunle city hall.

yea fashola is doing good work (compared to his predecessors) but definitely more work needs to be done to improve the overall city. not just the CBD or city center.
