How then do you keep the thugs on the street pacified?

There's no employment for them, and they are mostly unemployable anyway

There's no state police. The actual police are also underfunded legally empowered criminals and hoodlums.

LASG's only optionis to continue to expand transportation options through more BRT coverage, trains, boats, etc whilst managing the agbero situation and preventing it from getting too crazy.

Ultimately the bus drivers will have the pass tje cost on to commuters until such a time where the LASG transport network coverage achieves parity(if ever) with the molue/danfo/korope coverage of today.

Abandon all hope all ye who enter or dwell in Nigeria, these problems will not be solved in your lifetime, although there may be a small chance that your grandchildren have it better...

Is it now the job of the government to pacify thugs they empowered?

The truth is the government can get rid of these guys if they really want to, but we all know they won't cos they come in handy during political seasons. The downside to this is that hardwork is being downplayed and with time u will see more and more commercial drivers abandoning their buses to become thugs themselves. I have friends who learnt trades like fashion designing and barbing immediately after secondary school and they did practice their trade. Today they have abandoned the trade and have since joined NURTW to be collecting money in the parks.(At least I know two of them like that I still see regularly)

As regards Lagos State expanding Transportation options, trust me it won't solve anything. The population of Lagos has exploded much more than u can imagine. Let's take Ikorodu for example, the number of people travelling from Ikorodu to Lagos Island on a daily basis is just too much for whatever the government can plan to handle. I mean Ikorodu has a jetty where speedboats move from their to the island on a daily basis, has a dedicated BRT lane and car owners also use their private vehicles to hustle to and fro work. If Lagos state government decides to run a rail line to Ikorodu, buy modern trains, buy more speedboats, and even buy more BRT buses; It still won't solve the transportation problem in that axis.

I mean places like Agric Isawo road, Imota, Igbogbo, Ijede, etc are very big towns in their own right with thousands of people commuting those axis on a daily basis.

The point I'm trying to make is that the people will still have to rely on privately owned commercial buses to go about their daily lives and all those drivers are asking for is that they pay a reasonable fee as tax to the government and their cronies; not losing 46% of their income to those urchins.

Tinubu's Lagos



Students no fit go school cox bus drivers dey strike

I just hope the drivers can sustain the strike and force the hand of Lagos State government to do something about the excesses of those lazy urchins headed by MC Oluomo.

I mean the Lagos state government banned NURTW in the state, pegged the transport tax to be paid by commercial drivers at ₦800 and we all thought maybe there will be some sanity in the activities of those guys. Unfortunately that has not changed anything, in fact drivers are being forced to part with more than their own profit sef.

I listened to a radio programme today and a commercial driver sent in a text narrating their ordeal. He carries full load for ₦12,600, pays ₦4,000 at the park he loads, he will pay for dropping passengers at Iyana Oworo and Oshodi bus stops. He said the total he pays out of the ₦12,600 to agbero is ₦5,800 then he buys fuel for ₦3,500. At the end of the day he will only have made ₦3,300 on that trip.

Can u imagine parting with a whole ₦5,800 to people who do absolute nothing and he the driver who wakes as early as possible to hustle for his daily bread only makes ₦3,300 from the trip.

This is the kind of nonsense people defend. Even those of us working in formal settings don't get to part away with 46% of our gross income as tax.

If Lagos state government can form a task force that arrests traffic offenders, why can't they have a task force that ensures only the ₦800 announced earlier this year is what motorists are made to pay per day? We all know they won't do that, instead they will turn a blind eye to it and allow MC and his boys do as they like. I saw a tweet from that Gawat boy reacting to the strike and he said " They( the transport workers) have a dispute amongst themselves and it will be sorted out". That should tell u that the government allows this impunity to continue to happen.

Brighton boss Roberto Zebri: “We prepared the game one-to-one with Mitoma with Chalobah and one-to-one Solly March against Cucurella."

Omo! The plan worked perfectly well.

I guess Potter has learnt his lessons, managing a top club is different from a mid table team. A mid table team may not necessarily have the right set of players to flog a top team with access to top quality players, but they can always plan to frustrate a top team and then score goals from that point. That is exactly why mid teams always upset top clubs in the EPL. They just work on Ur weak point and wait for u to do as many mistakes as possible.

afrodoc2:
Dey no see half of wetin Cucurella eye see. I come dey saanu for the guy.

How can I forget Kukuruku? When they pulled him off sef it was like "mercy killing" ; more like he can finally rest from the shege him eyes see

kingBolton:
You forgot to add playing a ridiculous high line with Thiago Silva in it.

Chalobah and Silva really suffered in that game

Any news on saka

Arteta said it’s a bad kick, but they will know more on how bad he’s hurt in the coming days . ( He said that at the post match conference ) .

I believe we will know how bad it is in the coming weeks . Personally I’m afraid he might not be available till the world starts Nov 20 or so . ( Considerinh national team camps will open begore then )

Donjazet2:
This is what vexes me with people who claim to hate the west.

Give them a visa option of Russia and america or china and UK and watch them rush the western countries visa.

You know a country's ideals by how it treats it's own subjects.
For fvcks sake, just look at the likes of Obama and rishi or the composition of American congressmen or the composition of British parliamentarians and see the sheer level of diversity and meritocracy with your eyes.

Now take a look at the composition of Russian leadership and Chinese leadership and tell me if you will see a single soul not from these countries. The Western countries embrace all and sundry from around the world and rewards their efforts unlike in any other part of the world but these Same people who all week to get there keep hating on the country. I don't just get it.

U are even going too far , Ughurs who are majorly Muslims are being persecuted in China on a regular basis . I bet those who are hoping China becomes the next world power can’t imagine how such absolute power will be wielded by China if they have it.

Some of them don’t know how regimental their daily life can be with countries like Russia and China wielding so much economic and military power .

This thread clearly highlights the disaster class of 8 years of APC and why Nigeria cannot afford another 8 years of this evil party

...When a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Mrviktor:

2. Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool ✅
3. Leeds 0-1 Arsenal ✅
4. Southampton 1-1 Arsenal ➖
5. Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest ✅

Another Manager of the Month for Mikel Arteta!

We scored 13 and conceded just 4 ; this is impressive to say the least.

Long may Arteta continue to cook

Mrviktor:
Ur monika speaks alot about u.

Anyways Rashford goal.. View that in blueray

What has my moniker got to do with Jadon "Flopping" Sancho?

I beleive u were concerned, hence why u quoted my initial post.

Mrviktor:
Oga rest abeg..
Name one bottom team that we have played.

So na until una play bottom team before sancho wey una buy for 85 million euros go shine?

I just showed u a player who hasn't played in the EPL this season equal his goal and assist in one match, yet na me supposed rest.

Mrviktor:

kokaneprodigy:
Jesus had a very good game if you ask me, he was selfless and gave 2 assists while at it. We should not flog this is goalless ish till he starts getting selfish and it costs the team.

I love Jesus beyond his goals and assists, I like what he brings to the table; mad pressing upfront and the never say die attitude.

I just hope he finds the net very soon, we are 3 weeks away from the world cup. I hope he gets picked and excels at the tourney

To whom it may concern :

Nelson has equalled Jadon Sancho's goal and assist tally this season in one match he came on as substitute

I think Jesus case is a mental block at this point. How can he be so unlucky to this extent?

We are going back to the top of the table.in grand style.

5-0 and still counting

Granit Xhaka what did u add in Ur stew?

Saliba is so intelligent mehn!

At this point make we bring Awilo Lógomba make him sef come try his luck.

Partey carry me Trabaye

4-0

Nelson say make we no insult am.

3-0 now

Xhaka na our LANS this year ; I won't be surprised if he cops our player of the season at the end of the season.

Nelson makes it 2-0.

For all its worth, I hope the goal boosts his confidence

Martinelli should reduce one-on-one situations with Aurier, the weyrey fit give am injury o

Nelson just dey watch from bench since all these days, he no learn anything at all. He couldn't even be available to start the press from front

E be like say these people just come give us injury ni

This Nelson no get use abeg!
