Rather than pool money for a paint job, they’ll complain that the government abandoned them. It’s the mindset which kills people, not the reality on ground.

You can't raise a female child in this kind of compound. All those useless boys would start pressing her tom Tom beasts from a tender age once they start popping out.

FESTAC needs to be declared as an open air concentration camp.

What’s the difference between FESTAC and Gaza!

One of the numerous reasons I have vowed never to live in Festac and Gowon Estate. Very old, dirty and dilapidation Jakande Buildings, very bad and terrible roads leading to the estates.

Definitely one of the festac housing unit.
