Law And Disorder In Lagos by worry246(m): 8:52am On Oct 09, 2010 |
Total corruption in Lagos again The BBC shows the truth to the world again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-11500370 The man whose house it is goes by several monikers, the simplest being "MC". On a tour of the property, accompanied by MC and his enthusiastic young aide Mammok, I remarked on the abundance of shoes. "He's a very fashionable person," says Mammok, as MC nodded approvingly. "And he does his shopping in Italy." Considering his glamorous and upscale existence, MC's day job is surprisingly prosaic. Officially, he is an executive in the city's transportation union. With between 15 and 17 million residents - most of whom do not own a private vehicle - Lagos's buses are its lifeblood. Each bus conductor has to pay union dues every day for the right to use the bus parks, as do the city's thousands of motorbike taxis and other commercial vehicles. This money is handled by the union, of which MC is the Lagos State Treasurer. |
