I was born in Lagos, Mushin to be precise. I could recollect then that the street we were living on CASH street was an earth road but between 1987 and 1988 cant remember the exact year, the roads were all reconstructed. Drain were built, concrete at the road side while sancrete block was used at the property side. I believe that same exercise was carried out in the whole of Mushin Local government. Cash Street, Adedokun, Amu, CAC, Buhari, Omodigbo, Oremeji, Fafolu, Olorunsogo street, Damigoro, Challenge, Ayantuga to mention but a few.

In 1996, we left mushin for Egan (Ikotun area) but I moved to an Aunts house at OKota where I lived till 2009.

Recently, I was at Mushin and you can believe what I saw. The whole road is not an eyesore, those street are now a shadow of itself. Potholes on all the roads, the drain have all collapsed due to lack of maintenance and proper care.

The same goes to Okota, the whole street from St. Rafael bustop to Apple junction, the adjoining street are as bad as you can think off. Only Alidada Street and Jemtok ( the Street leading to King Wasiu Ayinde ) house are the only asphalted road on that axis. It took me three hours to move from Grandmate bustop to the roundabout.

My question thus: What is the work of the Local Government when there basic responsibilities are not attended to.

I remember growing, we play football on these street but who dear play football on those street these days.

NOTHING!!!
I'm from Aninri, Enugu state

The verdict is , NOTHING.

That's if peeps even know who their local government chairman is .

That is one arm of government reserved for the baddest local thug, and there is absolutely no accountability for funds, with the so called 'Chairman' ruling the roost like say na im papa property.
