Yes o, I'm waiting patiently.

ayobase: On the 6th o!

You're right brother, it's very unfortunate that most of this infrastractures were also in Mainland and Surulere too.

We should appreciate people that are bringing them back now, there is a lot of positive attached to this, reduction in fuel consumption, decrease in number of vehicle plying the road and health benefit amongst other benefits.

PS - One naira was once an equivalent of one dollar!

naptu2: History is a very important subject. It sometimes shows you what's possible. It seems that most of the people who say that Fashola is trying to copy practices in the West that are not practicable here do not know the history of Lagos.

Much of what Fashola is trying to do is not new. He is only trying to restore the order that existed in the 1950s and '60s.

1) Cycle lanes: In the past, there were many lanes that were exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians. In South-West Ikoyi there were the lane the connected CVU with Manuwa Street and the lane that connected Keffi Street with Norman Williams Street. Part of Cow Lane on Lagos Island was off limits to cars and only used by cyclists and pedestrians. There were many more, but unfortunately I can't remember their names.

LRT: In the past there was the Lagos Steam Tramway that ran from the Lagos Rail Terminus at Iddo to Lagos Island and even Victoria Island. Governor Jakande also tried to revive the metro system in Lagos.

Parks and gardens: Marina once had a beautiful garden where people could relax in the evenings. That was lost in the '70s, but Fashola has brought it back. Park View Estate in Ikoyi was once a large park.

Restriction on the movement of articulated trucks: Articulated trucks were banned from plying Lagos roads in the daytime during the colonial era.


In the past we had post boxes, fire hydrants, doorstep milk deliveries, etc in Lagos (I saw some of these things).

Bringing them back is not impossible!

...

Yes, am in Lasgidi, Centre of Excellence to badt.

ayobase: Its been embalmed...till u show.

You're right, I'll read it all over again, Nigerian youths are really lazy, lack innovation and enterprise, hope we wont look back at our generation and tag it 'Wasted Generation'

acidtalk: El-rufai was right and i wasn't wrong when i concured.
I read it and will read times 10 of that if need be.

She can't do that, cos I trust her.
Hope you kept my sallah meat, will collect it when I visit Abuja.

Noticed and just saying.

Sallah don end o!

Nope, what's it all about?
Anyway, happy sallah to you and all NLanders.

ayobase: Did u read the message above ur post?

Ok let me educate you a bit about ewedu, do you know that ewedu soup is an antioxidants that is good for diabetes and cancer patients to boost their immune system? And even 'manpower' (so I can perform my matrimonial duty ) and gbegiri is made from beans and you know the nutrients you can gain from beans (what more can I say.

And if you're not convinced, come to Ojude Oba festival (hopefully I'll be there) for Ifokore (Ijebu special porradge made from water-yam), you know what I mean.

ijebabe:
Yes i'm on a long thing and its definitely not urs
Ewedu ni? Please educate

Seriously, I can't imagine eating it maybe if you tempt me with something else, I'll give it a try

LOL, Mynd didn't pronounce/write it well, its called Ojude Oba festival (King's Palace), its celebrated alongside muslim's Eid-Kabir every year. It's one of the biggest festival in yorubaland and if anyone is bored with Lasgidi (hope to be there), you can always get your azz down there

dubem3: whats that?
sounds like shyt

Must you call me that in public You know I dont take offense when you call me anything in our bedroom.

ijebabe: You know that's a typo, olodo

If you don't know how to eat amala and the combination of ewedu and gbegiri, you're not a Lasgidian and at same time, you're on a long thing.



Btw, didn't anyone told you the natural and medicinal makeup of ewedu ni, especially for men?

ijebabe: I don't mean any offense but Amala sounds gross. Hope it won't make me sick

How can Ota farm be in trouble? SMH.
You should ask yourself, can Obasanjo's farm feed the Local Govt Area it's situated, less alone the State.

CHESSBOARD: Then OTAH Farm is in trouble

Aren't they both Politicians?
Why do you think both parties signed an agreement.

Rooneyboy: that's good but I'm a bit confused, what's the aim/implication(s) of this gesture.

As a politician that he is I'm sure he has ulterior motives.

Yepa, you better do

As for me, I'll definitely be in Femi's shrine and straight to Kalakuta and end-up in Pekas Opebi.

dubem3: i balm jare
i hear there is a public holiday today
i just can't see it...
meanwhile,my grandmother's sister's uncle's mother has vowed to disown me if i don't observe it

Talking of local delicacies, who has visited Iya Ayo's amala joint in Alausa Secreterial? And Ije, try to visit Femi's shrine for African peppersoup, wine and weedo, Yeni is always a good hostess.

I'm good to go, how your end?

You' welcome.

Btw, almost everyone uses phone camera, so they dont see reason using camcoders.
[quote author=Stella_Bella]I am serious but I guess video/camcorders are not popular in naija.
