CHILD CULTISM AND INSECURITY: GOVERNOR SANWO-OLU MUST STOP BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH!

(Press text of the Lagos Branch of the African Action Congress (AAC)

Amidst the hullabaloo all over the media of a "Lagos is Working," the reverse has been shown to have been the truth so far.

Two things have exposed what the Lagos Cabal has been using the prevailing idea to cover up: this rainy season, and the terror of child cultism and other crimes. "6 out of every 10 children in Lagos are cultists."

A brutal report of a 72-hour mass violence of child cultism with different names like "Omo Kesari;" "Awawa;" "One Million Boys," Seven Street Boys in Oshodi; Judas Iscariot Boys in Ejigbo; and others in Idimu; Ikotun; and other areas vindicate the reports that Lagos is the most underdeveloped state in Nigeria, given the wealth owned by the state and the fact that it's debt is second only to the Federal government.

As it is now, only few states in Nigeria has poorer internal road networking than Lagos. Whenever it rains, everywhere is messed up. But no state has spent more huge funds on road networking than Lagos.

The reign of child cultism today is owed to the general collapse of public education in Lagos as well as the mass unemployment in the state. Private schools are times three of public schools. There is just one state university; Lagos State University (LASU.)

It is also appalling that most of the trading power of the mass of poor people like markets, mechanic villages, and sports arenas have all been destroyed, seized and aokd off. The Lagos politicians are only amassing wealth. They do not do but "renopaintings and surface repairs". Old fashioned innovations are praised to the high.

Lagos AAC sympathizes with Lagosians at this trying period. Our condolences to all the victims of these violence. This is definitely a sad page in our history.

However, while we cry we must always see. If not our tears will never dry. It is important that we understand how we slept and were beating by the rain in the night.

The onus is to ask the Lagos government to stop beating about the bush and face the real issues. True free education with delicious feeding and quality academic and technological system must be put in place immediately. Child cultists can be trained to become the greats of the future with democratic, pro-people standards!

Governor Sanwo-Olu must also not resort to setting the Lagos Task Force loose to arresting traders, innocent citizens, and okada riders. Face the real issues and tackle the problems headlong. Even if a government want to prevent trade littering the streets, is it not much more correct to create alternative spaces for these traders instead of violent repression.

Then what kind of government is ignoring the Night Economy? This is a lucrative economy that can even resolve unemployment as well as reduce child cultism.

Lagos AAC calls on Lagos towns to immediately build independent community Vigilance Teams. Then we all need to demand that Lagos is truly made working at all levels through free functional and compulsory education at all levels. Massive industrialisation and a creative development of the Night economy are needed to cater for employment and reducing poverty.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty!

I don't understand someone please explain to me what this means

Hmmmm.. Wonders shall never end..

Lagos state is full of deceitful leaders. They claim to be building a mega city but it's all lies. A lot of youths living in Lagos are jobless and these politicians use these jobless youths as political thugs during election while their children lives abroad.. I wish a revolution can happen soon so that all these wicked leaders will be eradicated.

Sanwo olu pls our lagos most work or pls step down
