Lagosians are pencils in the hand of tinubu and his families. Building libraries will make lagosians less dumb and will reduce their stupidity, agberoism and idiocy which is disrupting and dangerous to the original lagos masterplan 4 Likes |

Good question. The one on Broad Street (opposite CSS Bookshops) has been converted to a DNA testing facility. P.S. I came across this article https://www.nairaland.com/4767986/nobody-comes-abuja-read#71755550 |

themonk: I was saddened the day I got there and discovered that it had been converted to a DNA testing facility. I asked from people around there if they knew where the library had been relocated to and they all said they did not know. I have no problem with setting up a DNA testing facility (a megacity like Lagos needs one for forensics, settling paternity disputes, etc). What I have a problem with is replacing a library/elearning centre with one. Here's how it was reported when the old library was converted to a modern e-learning facility in 2012: http://www.tundefashola.com/archives/news/2012/07/24/20120724N01.html And how it was discussed on Nairaland: https://www.nairaland.com/999995/fashola-commissions-stateoftheart-elearning-centre naptu2 and mayoroflagos do you know why the elearning centre was converted and if a new location was provided for the elearning facility? |

johnie: Yeah, the two most famous public libraries on Lagos Island are gone. 1) The former headquarters of the National Library of Nigeria (on Campos/Broad/Wesley Street) is now the Centre for Black African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC). 2) The former Central Library at Odunlami, which was converted to an E-library by Fashola in 2012, was convered into a DNA testing centre by Ambode in 2017. Instead, Ambode commissioned a digital library in 2017 (i.e. the library is online). https://lagosstate.gov.ng/blog/2017/04/28/ambode-unveils-lagos-digital-library/ |

Nobody gives a f-uck about physical books anymore. Well, Wole Soyinka does. Every other person aged 50 and below prefers ebooks since they take up zero space. I currently have forty books in my tablet pc and physical space is a non-worry. |
