People just turn the streets in front of houses to mini markets, suya joints, food market, pepper, tomatoes...

Unless it’s a gated estate, it seems like Nigerians in Lagos just start selling anywhere.

Most of the streets in Lagos are an eyesore because of this, not to even mention the bad roads.

....


When you pay close attention, you can see the poverty and chaos of Lagos and Nigeria as a whole:-

Refuge heap next to a mansion

Open and vile gutters everywhere, the nastiest images you’d ever want to see while walking

Naked people bathing in broad daylight

Idle people just sitting by the road

....

Then back to the MARKETS, markets markets markets.

How can people just go to almost any area and start selling whatever?

What will it cost us to have Order in Nigeria? In Lagos? Or are we really really saying that we are animals, that this is a jungle? That we as blacks can never be organized?

You pray to your God, but isn’t God a God of ORDER! Even the universe in its chaos is still ordered, the earth is ordered into day and night, gravity is a constant, etc

I challenge any one of us who ever gets to government to promote order! I challenge current government to promote order.

You want to go to Dubai because or ORDER and LAW, but back home you just say “This is Nigeria”. What does that even mean.

So because this is Nigeria we have resigned to chaos? and you are fine with that?

Not me, no! I will never be fine with the chaos and I pray that you reading this will never be fine with it either.

Same with Onitsha... Every Street is a market and every household, a warehouse

And they are not paying taxes

Over here in Europe, you hardly see such thing.

Super market rock Europe.

It's only in Spain you will see shops but in a busy street.

Thank God i chose to live in a sane environment. I cant just habit in a ghetto area.

O boy ,are you in Nigeria or away right now....? You are a Nigerian [no doubt abt that].. . ..



But you talk as if you were a non nigerian ... ;


Any way, tell your type or own people to stop cuming to Lagos..s'


People want to live where is hope,,.

in Manhattan, NY, people sell on the streets too

I understand your point tho, but I think other developed countries do same thing but it is badly abused here.

It is because of poverty and lack of class, it is almost like that in every part of Nigeria, that of Imo state is something else, you see people buying a house that worths over two hundred million , destroys it and build a market in its place. At Imo state university front gate, the school authority cut down trees on the verge of the school, and decided to build a market along the front gate. Poor mental upbringing and super greed could be blamed for this nonsense.
After coming back from abroad, you begin to wonder whether the authorities here have common sense.

Here in Niger republic it is not like that

Idle people just sitting by the road

Na this one pain me pass. Very useless idiots idling their lives away gaping aimlessly at any one that passes by and constituting a nuisance all over the place.

Hunger & poverty is the reason . It means that there cannot be any meaningful development in the environment if the people have not been empowered to at least feed comfortably .
They have to survive by all means so any means to make money suppases all manner of esthetic the government might want to put in place . Lagos is an example

It's really appalling but Rochas tried to stop or at least minimize it in Owerri but he faced backlash. Plazas are now competing with residential houses in the city yet shop rent is over the roof. That IMSU area you talked, shops there pay as much as 700k to 900k annually! Same applies to Wetheral road, Douglas road, Tetlow etc. Even the markets that were built in the outskirts are being abandoned. The irony is that most of these shops paying such crazy rent hardly breaks even. They will stay one year or two Max and liquidate or go elsewhere where rent is cheaper.

The worst problem is the number of idle people wasting away. This country will never develop if it continues like this because production is not taking place.

Tomek09:

I am in Germany.

The culture of the major tribes of Hausa,Igbo and Yoruba promotes disorderliness and chaos.

If you observe well,go to minority dominated states you will observe a sense of order and decorum.

But any major tribe dominated states,it's always chaos,dirtiness,disorderliness and general crudeness of the people.

The major tribes are disgusting

Okay.
