Good question. Most of the LGs are as useless as they come. They are worse than the state and federal govts.
Its time to start demanding these LGs rise up to their responsibilities.

I think the lack of LG autonomy plays a large role in their ineffectiveness!

omonnakoda:
Really? what is the name of the decree and when was it enacted?

Bro, abeg lemme be....

[size=28pt]Chatham house.. there is no treaty. Ijaws are illegal immigrate.[/size]

Make God punish Chatham House! You guys should desist from words capable of creating more tension. Let's give peace a chance m

I'm always saddened whenever I read about my fellow Ijaw youths allegedly engage in these kinds of acts.

Please, let's leave this Itsekiri/ijaw crisis behind and move on.

Lemme call Boyloaf and Tompolo.

omonnakoda:
What decree?

The environmental sanitation exercise was brought about by a military decree. ..

cococandy:
This same PH where my sister entered one chance bus? God save us o.

OP let's keep praying for your brother. He will return safe and sound. Amen.

Amen!

GEJ all the way! !!

slimmy05:
get it into your thick skull, it violates fundamental human right and there is no reason whatsoever that would justify restricting people's freedom for sanitation.

Seriously, I get upset whenever I see outright insults and personal attacks in this forum. We can still disagree without resorting to name calling and insults.

chillykelly86:
There are better ways of enforcing sanitation than restriction of movement.

Nigeria is moving forward

And one way is to ensure state governments employ, educate and train health officers who shall daily monitor the implementation of environmental laws, and sanction offenders.

That decree has no place in 2015!!

iscoli:
i know we can do it, just somthing to give some E LORDS waterboard blood pressure.

Ok. Get them. 1000 likes! There they are. Thread closed.

This is a welcomed development. Apart from the fact that it violates one of our fundamental human rights as enshrined in our Constitution, at this time and age, it appears to be outdated and old fashioned to have an entire nation put on the halt every last Saturday of every month for Environmental sanitation exercise; it's supposed to be a DAILY activity. This is 2015!

It may have worked in the past but it's obviously no more working. All that happens on those Saturday is that while a few clean their environment, the vast majority of people sit idly waiting for the hours to elapse, and then we go on piling obnoxious dirts and wait till another sanitation day before we do some cleaning and the process continues. It's a poor environmental management strategy.

In fact, I made a strong case against this decree around September last year when I was delayed at Agofure park because of sanitation exercise.

Every state government should employ and adequately equip and train environmental health officers who shall daily monitor our environment and punish defaulters where needed.

This is a welcomed development.

It doesn't appear to me like the man is appealing or begging her. Whatever the case, he had no business twisting himself like it's shown on the picture.

DeviIhimself:
Kill all the damn sahara reporters journalists

My brothers don't kill! Pls, let them release them oooo.....Let me call somebody.

Who else, if not GEJ?

Wowwww!!!!! And these old, spent folks have to effrontery and conscience to attack FFK for now supporting GEJ?

SeverusSnape:
Hehehehehehehehehehe hehehehehehehehehehe....
True talk sir...

That's the truth. Otherwise, what else could be responsible for the rapid and instantaneous in behaviour of hitherto compromising, peaceful, patient folks into a group of bigoted, angry and bitter folks?

GEJ till 2019!

egift:
By electing Buhari, the masses will be making it emphatic that no more anti-masses policies.

This is our time to make a Change. The victory for democracy, Sai Buhari.

Hahahhahaha. Buhari mouthpiece don show at last. I'm looking at the bigger picture. And I believe whoever wins, the masses are the REAL winners.

Meanwhile, I'm still holding the fort at the GEJ camp !

praise010:
I beat you to that. I ve already filed a similar suit at Awka. Waiting for Rulling/Judgement before the end of the month.

I know Lagos State will appeal. Just like the toll gate suit, we shall await the Court of Appeal pronouncement. I just hope the Counsel that brought the suit will do a well researched brief for the appeal.

I'm really impressed with you guys. I'm happy you guys are willing to play your part in this issue. That decree has NO place in this time and age. Keep the good work going.

folksync:
Nice one, OP. I hope GMB wins to at least pass across this bold message to all politicians, including GMB himself, that the period of accountability has come. It is either you serve well or get kicked out.

Thank you! Either way, Nigeria is pushing forward!

Bayswater:
There is this new found vigour by the Nigerian masses, they now have a strong belief that their votes will count.

It has never happened in the history of this country.

Something must be responsible for this, I know some people will scream change but it goes beyond that.

Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come- Victor Hugo!

WisdomFlakes:
Yes o. The people are taking back their power. Nigerian masses will no longer be taken for granted. #Never Again

I'm already looking beyond2015 , and far into our political future. There's no greater threat to bad governance than a politically awakened citizenry. I swear!

mikeywise:
Interesting piece, what is responsible for all these? CHANGE is indeed here

Whichever way, Nigeria is moving forward.

kokoA:
I think Attahiru Jega is the man to thank.. Nigerians owe him a lot of appreciation. The only reason why there is this renewed interest by the masses is the introduction of PVC and card readers. People now have this believe that our votes will count this time around, unlike before when the ruling party cooks up figures based on the number of registered voters in their strongholds..

He's done his best shaaaa. That position is not enviable at this time in particular. He's doing his job quiet well.

politricks:
At this point, i give credit to APC for being a formidable opposition. The ruling party had to 'try' to achieve in six weeks what they could not achieve in six years. And they can only be rewarded by giving them the mantle of leadership come march 28
Sai GMB

Sincerely speaking, the APC has done really well in making the ruling party more alive to its responsibility. That's a huge plus for our democracy. Kudos to them for that!

Meanwhile, I'm still gunning for GEJ!

My axis in Woji used to enjoy even more light a few weeks ago, but it has dropped a bit lately. But on average, my axis still can boast of 10 or more light hours per day.....

For instance, since around 1800 hrs yesterday till around 100 hrs this morning, there was light.

I'm deeply impressed. This is 2015! No nation is put on a grinding halt for a period of about 3 hours every last Saturday of the month for some sanitation exercise. It's old fashioned and doesn't belong in the modern system.

Long overdue.

Alphaoscar:
You go fear TANoids and their barefaced lies. Check the guy's profile and you will no he is probably not telling you the truth.

Dear, it would amount to gross stupidity and epic foolishness to lie under these circumstances. There is no reason whatsoever.

Alphaoscar:
You have not told him where woji is located now.

Not deliberately. Woji is located behind Artillery bus stop, off Aba Road, PH.

gateleo:
Well, you are now welcomed to a dirtier & stinking lagos. Enviromental saturaday is the only time some streets get swept or gabbage get disposed in lagos.

Oga judge more grease to your elbow. By weight of probability, it is more beneficial to have this 3 hours movement restriction every month than not having!!! Common sense approach is superbly superior to this judgement!!!

I wonder why our judges can't use common sense on some issue.......

Please, I beg to differ while I still recognise your opinion.

As a matter of fact the Judge should be commended. Apart from the law violating our basic human rights as enshrined in our Constitution, that decree has never been effective in these modern times. Society has moved on and our laws should also be updated.

I'm yet to see any other nation where sanitation activities are limited to one measly Saturday every month, instead being a daily exercise.

Lagos can only get dirtier if there's no new relevant legislation after the current one is annulled. No nation stands still every last Saturday of every month for Environmental sanitation. It's an archaic pattern of environmental management.

State governments should employ and adequately train environmental sanitation officers who shall daily identify and sanction environmental offenders.

yumie:
Where is Woji please and can I get a 2bedroom apartment ASAP?

A decent one goes for upward of N450K.
