@Moderators.....Pls, move this thread to the Sexuality Section!!!!!

Hehehehehe......!!!!!

Ozil will kill EPL teams because their defensive players will sit back and watch him dance past them like they do in the La-Liga without tackling him in the famous manner they are famous for.

All na acting.

amarilo: You forget to add that they paid council/state officials before they were allowed to build this illegal shops. So who is to blame? The person that gave the permission to build illegally or the illegal builder who got a legal permission.

well, you're right in a way. The previous Governments and the Nigerian system let this trend thrive. They actually still pay rent to live in those slums.

Someone has to put a stop to it and reverse the trend regardless. I remember in the 90's when the corporate buildings in Lagos Island were heavily surrounded by dirty markets. That has been reduced by a large extent now. When Tinubu completed the upgrading of the Lagos Island C.B.D, beggers were the first to help themselves to choice spots on the walkways then.

Why do you think the companies packed up and moved to V.I?? They followed them in the Molues till Tinubu had to put a stop to that.

eddiebruk: If he doesn't know how to raise the standard of living then he is not fit to be a Gov, was Lekki and the rest of Banana Island built by robots..? if there are more standardized and better environment, when the Ordinary poor man sees that he cannot afford the cost of Living in Lagos, he is then left with no choice than to leave for his Village, you don't force people out of a city, you let challenges of living there depends on their will of hard-work or laziness.

How do you upgrade an environment that's already illegally occupied?? Their shops are built on the drains, road medians, the set-backs are already filled with their shanty homes??.....heck, there were roads in Lagos that were blocked due to trading activities.

They occupy every little spare space they can see till they were living under bridges......where do they keep coming from??

The lands most of them live on were illegally occupied so the LASG has no one to answer to if they decide to bulldoze them. That's what they attempted and everyone started screaming "War against the poor".

eddiebruk: You wouldnt want to think that there is nowhere in the world where Government prioritize it's inhabitants based on their social status, Why propagate about it, if he wants to make Lagos hard for the poor then he should make it hard by raising the standard of Living and social amenities rather than this preaching of a thing that has no meaning other than ethnic rivals between various tribes.

There's nothing he has done that has promoted friction between ethnic lines.

As far as I'm concerned, every tribe has been affected by his policies, positively and negatively.......Its just how some of the leaders of chose to react to them.

Raise the standard of living in a city like Lagos?? Pls enlighten me on how he can acheive that.

awodman: Why not entirely dismissing your assertions because you are viewing it from your own perspective...how about putting yourself in the shoes of these guys

How about what the writer said...build low cost houses for these guys...you don't just demolish their slums without providing alternatives...
Remember how the transport commissioner was stoned and booed at Gani's memorial...that goes to show you the discontent about the transport situation in Lagos

Finally if u are very close to Fashola,tell him this
"...Fight POVERTY not the POOR..."

Trust me, No one can fight poverty better that one'self. They must never wait for anyone to do it for them.

I bought a large number of tiles this week and the igbo guy i bought it from didn't even have tiles, all he had was his brains. He negotiated the price, took the payment, wrote the receipt and went to order from a warehouse, simple. He made a profit out of nothing other than sitting in front of a shop with borrowed samples displayed.

That's smart, someone like that can never be poor. He didn't wait till he had a container full of tiles before his business kicked off.

The guys currently tiling the floors had the choice of being area boys but they rolled with their friend that had the skill, they learnt it and they're currently earning their pay.

Its a 19 year old girl that handles my painting. She learnt the skill while her friends were busy prattling away about boys and she now handles jobs worth hundreds of thousands. Who wouldn't want to encourage her??

The future belongs to people like that. They're from far less priviledged backgrounds than you can imagine but they know where they're going.....Imagine they now get the job to tile a building in Eko Atlantic in the future......that's because they already have a skill to sell.

All those selling N2,000 worth of pepper by the roadsides are'nt serious about elevating themselves out of poverty yet. When they're ready, they'll think harder. The Government have their part to play but they themselves are the most important value in the equation.

Being poor is a state of mind.

They oppose development and when left alone, they don't mind to keep breeding and increasing their number of illiterate kids that grow up to be "area boys", expanding their shanties and ghettos till they grow into embarassing sizes, asking for hand-outs and free everything.

They're also quite dirty. They see a large body of water and to them its a refuse dump and toilet meanwhile, an enlightened person sees it and sees a beautiful view worth paying for. I cringed yesterday at how dirty one of the newly constructed pedestrian bridges was made dirty at their trading activities on it.

They need enlightenment but for the LASG to carry that out, their number has to be reduced to reasonable numbers that can be adequately catered for.

Why are they so many?? That's a question for the past rulers to answer but they must not stand in the way of a new Lagos, rather they should position themselves to benefit from its numerous employment opportunities by trainning themselves in chosen fields, not hoping they're left alone to continue wallowing in ignorance.

#The hard truth.

Rad1cal: Lol, red eye thingz. How many roads Fashola don retouch for Yaba sef, i fit use hand count am.

Akpabio dey do him thing quietly, [size=14pt]AKS people don't need to declare a public holiday to commission simple street lights.[/size]

Ode, Eko Atlantic na Fashola money , Shuooo !!!

Talk is Cheap......Pics speak a thousand words.

Rather than exchange words with you, go back and start reading it from the first page of the thread, read it , look at the pics and weep.

Rather than engage in exchange of words with you, go back and start from the first page of this thread, read it, see the pics and weep.

Pics speak more than a thousand words.......so chatting with you is a waste.

Rad1cal: While the other is delivering quality brand new projects , another is retouching already existent infrastructures.

Case closed.

Go siddon jooor. The whole Uyo isn't half as big as Yaba alone.......neither is it 1/4 as developed.

Una see only road and fly-over, una start to shout....."Best Governor in Nigeria".

The Eko Atlantic city or the Elevated Train line seen in person is enough to shut u up.

Demdem: what so u are not even through.
God Punish Akpabio. Useless man.

Imagine, and i haven't seen a proper pix of the Apapa C.B.D works that done back in 2007/2008 while i was working there or the Yaba roads he's redone and beautified.

On the 2nd page of this thread, @Agbameta took a while b4 he started posting pics of Fashola's works.

I had already typed a post predicting that he was gathering pics to bury this thread. I had almost pressed the "submit" button but I restrained myself.........

They never saw it comin......its always better that way.

The @OP is definitely a cretin. E.O.D

emiye: I understand you are embittered, pele. ndo .

"You want to burst bubble with fact" ? Does fact now mean emotional rantings?

Hehehehehehehe......abeg free dat guy jooor.

Pictures speak more than a thousand words.

All those haters have been saying since is Words......empty ones.

These pics would have probably spoken millions of words by now.

Abeg, keep postin till they drop dead from hate.

@Plaindealer. You killing em with the pics.....keep it up.

They've started babbling out of context, they'll soon start foaming at the mouth at this rate.

FreeGlobe: It will be a blockbuster believe me
These folks unbelievable I swear!

They asked if LASG provided Water.......In my hood...."YES THEY DID". End of question.

Its no body's biz if I decide to sink a borehole, dig a well or a gutter as an alternative.

#BACK TO TOPIC# Don't derail the thread

gregg2: @ba7man
Stop spamming this thread with lies.
Learn to speak the truth. It is better. All of us live in this Lagos and know the truth.

FreeGlobe: so how is the water pumped? obviously without paid electricity? is it that you dug a well to avoid Fashola bills or you sank a borehole not minding Fashola pipeborne water, what exactly did you do Mr. man, how do you get your water in lagos? smh

They asked if LASG provided Water.......In my hood...."YES THEY DID". End of question.

Rad1cal: I can't believe your stories when your logic is seriously funny and flawed.

Frankly, I don't care and I don't want you to believe me.

Its always better when u discover by yourself and you'll now feel like a jackass.

plaindealer: From their so many idiocies in this thread, they are obviously unintelligent...

The borehole option is one I'm aware Fashola is trying to block its loophole but till the bill is passed, I'll have to go illegal on that one.

My bro, bout those guys, I never underestimate the power of st0pid people when they gather in numbers ooo......

Rad1cal: Your warped logic simply voids your stories

They asked if LASG provided Water.......In my hood...."YES THEY DID". End of question.

.

FreeGlobe: Please stop clowning already, I guess you sank the boreholes free of charge since you are avoiding fashola bills?

So you can't pay 200grand to avoid a lifetime of bills?? How intelligent of you and your friend.

They asked if LASG provided water supply and I am a witness that they did......now the question is "Why did i sink a borehole"?? You guys aint got nothing to say.

FreeGlobe: I thought I was the only one that noticed his hogwash. He prefers to sink boreholes even with 'Fashola taps' running in his abode. The extent these APC goons will go with their propaganda, smh

The conclusion is LASG provided Tap water but i prefer to sink a borehole once and for all to avoid bills being dropped at my doorstep.

Rad1cal: Which particular area is this in Yaba, I did like to verify.

In both instances , you discarded the LASG for boreholes with the later used for washing cars.

Conclusion: You don't depend on LASG water cos it either unusable or it's not regular and unreliable.

Please shut your bore holes and depend majorly on LASG water plant

Its off the road leading to Tejuosho market.

You're not in my head so u don't know why we didn't switch to LASG water supply.

We're already hooked up to an efficient borehole system that self-pumps itself when water supply is low so what's the point switching to LASG and start paying for water supply??

gregg2: Is there pipeborne water in Lagos? The so called water works is only on pages of newspapers and internet sites.
Who among all of you noisemakers has reliable public pipeborne water in his home? Can any of you swear? Bunch of "Suffering and smiling Peeps". You guys will never learn until MaiRuwa poisons that water for you.

Dude, my home in Ikosi has running water supplied by the Govt. Not that we even notice because we've got a borehole with a float switch so its more convenient. We only use it when we want to wash cars.

The house I'm currently renovating in Yaba also has water supply but we had to cut it off to stop the water bill from accumulating. We just finished sinking a borehole there too.

Rad1cal: LMAO , this one na ogbonge comedy central
So I should now ask the school Alumni after Emiye chest pounded to no where
Hit the reply button when you have proof.

You're using a lot of emoticons to show that you're having a good time but i know you're not.

You've been exposed nd you're just trying to hang on without appearing defeated.

FreeGlobe: NOW THAT WE HAVE ALL AGREED BOTH DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY THAT 80% OF PROJECTS COMMISSIONED BY FASHOLA WITH PICTURES FLOATING ONLINE (AND OF WHICH THE LAGOS GOVT HAVE TAKEN CREDIT FOR) ARE PRIVATE SECTOR PROJECTS AND PPP'S, I ASK, WHERE IS LAGOS MONEY, OVER 30 BILLION IGR/MONTHLY, HOW COME LAGOS IS STILL THE MOST INDEBTED STATE IN NIGERIA, WHERE ARE THE WORLD BANK LOANS? THESE ARE PERTINENT QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED.

Here are some links.

Luxury Living In Lagos Built With World Bank Funds For The Poor.

Local officials in Lagos, Nigeria, who accepted a $200 million loan from the World Bank to “increase sustainable access to basic urban services,” are instead creating an unaffordable complex of 1,000 luxury units on the grounds where poor and working people recently lived.

Lagos, Ekiti, seven others are heavy debtors –FRC

http://www.punchng.com/news/lagos-ekiti-seven-others-are-heavy-debtors-frc/


WHAT IS RAJI FASHOLA DOING WITH LAGOS MONEY AND FUTURE?

keep asking and waiting for answers while your home State remains a debt free village.

How the PPP works..........

Example 1.

(1) A concerned citizen notices the streets in his area are dirty.

(2) He purchases a Refuse collection vehicle, registers a company and approaches the LASG with a proposal to collect refuse from the public for a fee.

(3) The LASG approves of the idea, sign an agreement with him and hand over a number of streets which he's to be responsible for.

(4) With the LASG backing, the residents are billed for the service and the individual can start business, simple.


EXAMPLE 2:

(1) I see a road median looking unkempt and fallow.

(2) I approach the LASG with the proposal to beautify this median but on the condition that I'll advertize on it for free.

(3) After working things out with LAASA, I carry out the beautification project and i erect my bilboard on the median.


NB: The LASG carries out its own beautification and development projects but private individuals and corporate bodies are also invited to participate.

Pls, someone that knows more about this should shine more light on this or correct me.
