Let me derail a lil bit…

Firstly, I don’t like Mohbad, I don’t like Naira Marley, and I don’t know TF Sam Larry is.

I would like to say, that some Nigerians are very stupid People.

Going out to protest, insulting some people online and writing all sort of rubbish.

The label must have maltreated him in the past; this is normal in Nigeria. Most People tend to treat People bad, if they have the chance. (Women maltreat their maids, Some people maltreat their apprentice (making them do crazy jobs aside their normal duty), Ladies maltreat cab drivers, Politicians maltreat their aides etc)

This is a normal thing in Nigeria; and we have not been able to tackle that part.

My next point: Naira Marley is innocent until the court proves that he is guilty!!!!

You can’t just accuse someone because you saw videos or because of what you heard.

I have seen people making videos and calling Naira a killer; as if they caught him strangling the Boy.

NB: I’m not happy, and I’ll never defend anyone….but we should learn to push our emotions aside, so we can get justice.

You may be surprised when the real truth comes out.

What do you mean by Ikotun road collapse?
That very road has been gradually damaging by erosion and the people, Local government and all responsible authority turned blond eyes to it.

as I keep speaking against bad leadership and lack of planning in the way structures are erected in this country coupled with the fact that we have very poor maintenance culture as a people..most Nigerians have this I don't care attitude about things not belonging to them. That's why we eat and throw nylon plastic..and all sort of waste product after using..u see ppl travelling after eating gala pr drinking coke tey fling the plastics tru the windows..market men and human sweep and pour the dirt inside the drainage system ppl covering up drainage with all sort of waste and you think when rain comes water won't find its level..Well dem no dey tell person cos na them go suffer am last last. The elites won't allow such in their neighbourhood na the ppl wey no get place to run when flood land their door go suffer am after all na them think say that small plastic of coke wey dem fling
for air go fly go refuse bin..u see why I say the country is sick from head to toe..mind u ppl wey suppose maintain no send una.

At initial stage you might win but in time you’ll get to know that you poisoned yourself

Marley may not have been involved in Mobad’s death but sure everyone is seeing he contributed to it.

Lagos state is generating 400 billion naira monthly and you want to go and fight yourself in CDA abi CDC meeting

To be honest, almost every community tries to be self-sufficient instead of relying on a government that only responds when it is time for elections. Most of this is achieved through the meetings.

Packaging Mart: It's disheartening to hear about yet another road collapse, especially in the Ikotun area. This seems to be a recurring issue that urgently needs attention from both local authorities and relevant government agencies.

Firstly, I sympathize with the residents who are bearing the brunt of this situation. It's truly unfortunate that they have to go through this ordeal, and I hope that relief and assistance are provided promptly.

However, addressing this problem requires a multi-faceted approach.

Infrastructure Maintenance: The primary responsibility falls on the local government to ensure that roads are properly constructed and maintained. This includes regular inspections, repairs, and improvements to prevent such collapses, especially after heavy rains.

Drainage System: It's crucial to look at the drainage system in the area. Poor drainage can exacerbate road damage during heavy downpours. Authorities should invest in a robust drainage system that can handle heavy rainfall.

Community Involvement: Residents should also be actively involved in reporting road issues and advocating for their repair. Platforms like this forum can be useful for raising awareness and mobilizing support for the cause.

Government Accountability: We must hold our elected officials accountable for the allocation and utilization of funds designated for infrastructure development and maintenance.

Long-term Planning: It's high time we started thinking about sustainable solutions. Climate change is leading to more extreme weather events, so our infrastructure should be designed with resilience in mind. Get more info click here.

Lastly, I encourage everyone to document these incidents with photos and videos and share them with the appropriate authorities. Public pressure and evidence can go a long way in expediting the resolution of such issues.

Let's hope that the relevant authorities take swift action to address this problem and prevent it from happening again in the future.

Stay safe, Ikotun residents. We stand with you in demanding better infrastructure! From Packaging Mart
