even cute ones like dear, rabbit, kill innocent people? Oboy how many of your people wild animals don chop those things attack only when threatened, i have come across a comodore dragon before at a river we usually goto swim me and my friends stood there transfixed and amazed by its beauty, the farmers around starting shouting that we should kill it that its big meat since we are students it will help, but we couldn't before they could get close,
it slid into water and floated away. My point is it could have attacked us but it didn't one thing you don't know is this animals are scared of you more than you're scared of them, thats why they are all hiding, its because of YOU

LETTER TO LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT ON
ABROGATION OF STREET HAWKING : CONSEQUENCES
AND DANGER AHEAD BY OMORILEWA TOMILOLA
Your Excellency Sir,
I appreciate your concern towards the betterment of life of
every Lagosian; your performance within the few months of
assumption as the Lagos State Governor is an assurance of
a better life for Lagos and Lagosians in years to come. I
say more powers to your elbow sir!
It no longer a news that the Lagos State Government under
your instructions has abrogated street hawking in Lagos
State, yet, I hope you would reverse your decision after
reading my passionate Letter as a child who had the
opportunity of Tertiary Education through hawking
enterprise.
Hawking is a common phenomenon among petty traders
who vend and offer goods for sale via advertisement-by-
shouting. In some major cities of Nigeria, it has become an
Enterprise or a Craft through which poor people get their
daily meals. Indeed, I would have supported your opinion to
abrogate hawking, especially when we consider the risk and
danger attributed to underage hawking in Lagos. It is true
there had been occurrences where young hawkers were
kidnapped for ritual purposes, where female hawkers were
raped, where some were killed by hit-and-run vehicles on
the highway, where some had been used in syndicate
crimes, etc. Yet, it must be said that Hawking is an oxygen
through which some people live, remove it and so many
people will die; so many destinies will shatter. Ironically,
there are so many great people in power today who have
been clamouring for the abrogation of street hawking, who
were trained to greatness by their hawking parents.
Government can not provide everything for the people. It
should be noted therefore that the people also have
responsibilities to sustain themselves. Take for example,
Education has become expensive; it is even more expensive
now as against the assurances of free education and
scholarship we anticipated. And now that it is clear that
the Government is not interested in providing support
services for the people, won't it be tantamount to a sin if
the other means of livelihood of the people who wishes to
be educated is taking away from them?
If i may ask these few questions sir:
1. What other alternative means of living have you devised
for these hawking-dependants?
2. What palliative measures have you put in place for these
hawkers to cushion down the consequential effect of your
decision sir?
As we all know, high cost of living in Lagos-Nigeria has
astronomically gone up. Life in Lagos has become so costly
and the class of frustrated poor hawkers in Lagos may
begin to seek solace in illegality if you refuse to reverse and
modify your decision or if quick measures are not put in
place to pacify them sir.
I humbly urge you to quickly check into this matter before it
boomerangs Your Excellency.
Finally, let me suggest the following as ways forward:
1. Rather than totally abrogating the hawking enterprise in
Lagos State, the State Government can insist on the
prohibition of underage hawking while the adults can
continue with their petty businesses and means of
livelihood.
2. The Lagos State could bring up an agency such as the
Lagos State Agency on Vending and Hawking (LASAVAH).
This agency shall be saddled make policies and regulatory
laws on conduct and activities of the vending Hawkers in
Lagos.
3. The Lagos State Government can also embark on
Hawkers Census through which it could have the statistical
index of all hawkers in Lagos State, their data and location.
It is my belief and conviction as young student of
governance and public policy that these suggestions will in
no small measure assist the Lagos State Government and
the congregation of poor Lagos State Hawkers too.
God bless you

Even tho the policy sounds elitist, it's a welcome development. We all envy the progress of the Western world but we frown at policies that can make our society be like theirs. No street hawker in London, nobody sells sausage in newyork traffic. I think it's time people start realizing that lagos is like a country in Nigeria where other vices in other states will not be tolerated. Nigeria has 36 states and as a citizen you are free to live in any of the remaining 35 States if hawking is your destiny. Most people living in Lagos have no business there. Most Nigerians see lagos as a greener pasture or mini London hence they relocate there with little money and resources with which they can thrive in more economic friendly cities to suffer for nothing. How do you explain youths leaving the southeast en-mass with the hope of selling gala and lacasera in traffic all in the name of living in Lagos? How do you explain northerners leaving there states only to come to lagos with the hope of begging and sleeping under bridges? Go back to your state if you can't cope with the directives of the lagos state government. For the fact that your parents raised you to become a doctor through selling wares on the streets doesn't make Street hawking right. No sane society allows such menace to thrive. If the hawker that was crushed by a BRT bus happened to be your family member, i guess you won't fault this policy. Living in Lagos is not by force, go back to wherever you come from.

I can just add 80k to that amount and buy a very fat cow that will give me 8x the meat on that ur miserable Ram.
Why is the ram so expensive? Is it ur younger brother?

This will give you chills! See how a python swallowed an antelope whole in the forest while another watched.
This footage was captured in the forest as a huge python swallowed an antelope whole.


The shocking way the snake’s mouth expanded to accommodate the animal as it is being swallowed whole is something rare to see.

Pythons jaws can actually unlock to accommodate preys three times there size.. Amazing reptiles

How's the price fair? Can you compare the features of this infinix band to the world popular Xiaomi mi band 2? Not only does the mi band 2 have better features, it's better priced.

Hallmark of chest beaters and cowards unlimited tribes. You pay for all the atocities you committed in Lagos and ogun water sides. I bet you will be reminded when the time comes. You ibos that camourflage in form of SS and all that but are commencing dangerous trends of empire expansion like the Hausa fulanis. We are watching you with keen interest and focused attension. The yoruba nation will soon match your vengeful lot and when you are routed like one deserving to be devoted to destruction don't cry foul as always as what you started is what will consume yall.

pls is it banned in nigeria??

The op is just being stupid, dont such scenerio still exist in the Nigerian life?

Do you know these movies are more clamoured for intenationally than the fake boring ones Am-urb puts up?

Mercy is a queen in her Niche (which she has created for her self).

Her husband is not complaining, we Nigerians love her, she is not carried away by her hubby contesting for deputy governor.

She stays in ajah lagos state? She is humility filled.(cut her coat to her cloth)

She is a wife and a mother who shows affection for her family internationally. (Not some low life's who claim single just to be open to advances).

She is natural, even with her movies and she get well paid.

Are any of the other actresses struggling for a good spot in the urban movies as accomplished as her?

She fits perfectly in different roles assigned, and executes perfectly, even better imagined.

Op your just being naive.

Its $399 or £309. Incomparison to equally spec'ed devices. This OnePlus 3 is a winner !!!!
NB: Seriously considering buying the OnePlus 3. If it had a pen and sd card, I would be buying it like yesterday.

princey83:
