The Lagos government can do whatever she wants to clean the state’s markets at anytime. Visitors like you is not qualified to dictate to the owner of Lagos.

I think you might be emotional too, can I say this, is it not the responsibility for teh tax collector to clean the public areas within and outsdie the market? Cos this seems to be the problem in NIgeria, you tax the people but dont carry out the job the tax is meant for. You cannot tell me all the traders in any market as big as that don't pay tax, so tell me what are they taxed for? Air to breath? Now the mkt is shut, what are they the tax collector doing about it?the rubbish within the market is not fully generated by the traders, dont forget you get visitors and customers as well, who travel from all part of Nigeria to buy there wholesale, this form part of the people who pay T fare within Lagos and eat there sometimes pay for hotels etc, So these lil Economy will seize for the days this mkt is shut. People do not seem to see the big picture.

erico2k2:

This is where the people should ask Lawma some serious question, I know a very good friend of mine that owns a shop there or rather does import Biz there [b]the get taxed monthly for environmental fees which is meant for evacuation of Rubish [/b]Now Lawma would leave the rubbish in the roads whither the traders have paid taxes its responsibility of the gvt to provide dumping site and evacuate rubbish promptly ie every nights. In the Uk we have loads of street market, once the market shuts down people clear their rubbish to the front of the market and the council comes to collect all the Rubish. Its never the responsibility of the traders to take their rubbish to rubbish tips or dumps miles away.

NoToPile:


Which of the markets?

All the markets are duly engaged and have their arrangements for waste pickups. Different arrangements ask you will get the info.

E. G Alaba Int has different associations different plazas and different excos for all these their associations and plazas all of them are individually engaged by the PSP operator and even the state agency involved they all have their arrangements for their waste management.

They can not say they never saw it coming non of the executives of the places sealed can't say that.

Same applies for tradefair


Some other markets like food markets especially have larger bins placed in a strategic place in their market.

erico2k2:

In reality, it should be the lagos state govt that is responsible for clearing out the rubish or providing where rubbish should go to.The tax collectors should build toilet for the traders and visitors to the mkt.THings might go back to how it use to be when everyone goes to Onitsha to buy electronics etc

NoToPile:



Understand that the agency will not deal with an individual shop in the market, it's always with the association. The association will be billed a lump sum and it pays the govt.

So your friend is paying to the association monthly.

And Yes the wastes are always being carted, the problem is always when associations don't pay or traders don't follow their agreed waste disposal means.

Beremx:
Foolish government. If you want to shut down markets, always give an ultimatum instead of behaving tribalistic again another ethnic group.

Ndi ara

vicshub:


The ibo man will come to your state, rent your shops. Pay taxes in your state, he will employ person in you state , he will contribute to your infrastructure by building modern houses, but yet he is your problem. A hausa man will bring death and hell and rape your wives and kill your youths and live like animals and also not pay taxes, yet he is good. Poor thinking. Hate is always blind until it's too late.

Morbeta11:



Many of you on this platform are so ignorant....closing down markets has no political or ethnicity label, its cos of poor Sanitation. Igbos are not only the ones in all those markets even Ghanaians, Cameroonian, Yorubas, Hausas, Fulani etc. Government cannot afford to close down where they generate income for a long period. They are simply instructing them or rather wiping all of them in line to take their environmental hygiene seriously. You guys so stop all these tribal nonsense.

Shikini:
I knew from beginning that Alaba and Trade Fair were their target. They started with small small markets, then Ladipo market, before hitting the big ones.

Nigerian politicians are so predictable. I even told a a friend that all those small markets Alausa were closing were smoke screens. The ultimate targets were Alaba and Trade Fair.

Power drunken authorities, at the end Nigerians suffers.

The people u are after might not really be affected as much as u anticipate it, they seem to have extra life, I have seen them start from zero multiple times and accomplished great things.

Endusers will bear the consequences.

erico2k2:

Ofcos I know about being Engage, what Im saying is this, did the government fulfill thier own part of teh Engagement? did they provide refuse collection points?The traders are paying for this service to the govt.Are they not same people who contracted Lawma,Can I also aske you beween Alaba. Computer village have you seen any Container for refuse collection stationed out there? In my town in Delta state they have an open top container outside the market, everyone goes and dump their rubbish there in the evening or on thier way home and the council clears it early in the morning. If the government provides this kind of rubish point wont this solve the problems? I have been at places like Ladipo just as early 2018, I saw 1st hand how they enforce Environmental sanitation.

no ibo man will be president

private waste company they una say una won dirty

wirinet:


It seems Governor Sanwo Olu wants to sabotage APC from winning any election in Lagos come 2027. Either he wants Tinubu to lose Lagos or he is planning to use a battalion of thugs to prevent anyone from voting. Maybe they intend to just write the figures the next time around in Lagos elections.

NoToPile:


If you know how many time these markets would have been engaged and dialouged with you will understand.

Its a Nigerian thing, until force is applied we won't shift, sebi Oyingbo has been reopened after they complied.

Fearyourcreator:

Shutup they give time... they don't just come ... if not they would have been dragged to court... And again market dey open ... una go just dey open una mouth anyhow

erico2k2:

Now you are understanding my point, Moreso the traders pay individual Taxes to both Local and state government Your local govt contracted LAWMA to clean up, however LAWMA is demanding extra money which they have no rights to do ALl the Local government needs do is provide an area in front or back of the market for traders to dump rubbish at closing time each day market will be clean. Within the market areas Im sure the traders/Associations can police that but outside it they cannot. It will also amaze you to know that all rubbish outside of the markets are not always from teh said markets.
In PHC where I have Biz at choba, WIke instruction is for all Biz to put thier rubish in the middle of the central reservation of the roads, and the River state version of lawma come to collect it at night.

Igboslayer:
Calm down, you can't tell the government where to begin their sanitation... They will start from the people that insulted them during election because they gave them enabling environment.

They should relocate to their Alaigabo from Alaba. Stupid people that doesn't know the fact that for a business to succeed you must have a willing buyer and seller. Yorubas dey patronize una and you dey feel like king, go sell to your poor village people na and see if you will make money

Khyrvxjzy:


no peoblem i kpai, so far you be slave

Anambra1stSon2:

See how you guys have used mumu to mess Nigeria economy up thinking you are punishing the Igbos

AfroKnight:


But the waste management of all public spaces is the task of LAWMA. They should do their job.

NoToPile:


I just explained the way it works to you,

For E. G. FEDAN Plaza in Alaba has its own waste point, other plazas have where they aggregate their waste for pick up by PSP.

Good you used computer village as an example, have you wondered why computer village has not had environmental infarction issues for some time and they do generate a whole lot of waste and it's been carted.

There are arrangements for aggregation and pick up of waste in all those places.

They all have their arrangements,

Some you will see big containers like Oyingbo etc some other markets too, some you might not see because there are arrangements for aggregation and pickup.
