Truth is: YOU may likely belong to any of these listed group of people. Why not first put your ATTITUDES to check before CONDEMNING government. One way or the other, by your attitude to one another, you are a part of the PROBLEM this country nurses. Don't be a CLOWN blaming One Man "Mr President" for a bad Nigeria. His name is not JESUS, so why expect a miracle from him.
'
Let's all take RESPONSIBILITY... and not believing only a certain BUHARI or Political platform will do MAGIC!!! Let's all awake and CHANGE in our attitudes. 'ATTITUDINAL CHANGE', is all we need- Nigeria is not the problem, Nigerians really are. Let's walk our today to GREATNESS, wearing upon ourselves, that uniquely-dressed attire of good ATTITUDE, to affect one another. Our ATTITUDES alone can FUEL our transport on that path to GREATNESS-ETERNAL, while joy follows into a realistic future of Colossal bliss.
'
Let do what is RIGHT, to boldly await CONSEQUENCE. Let trust in the right, there is PEACE in doing right. Let battle for freedom from UNETHICAL ATTITUDES for angels above watches. Let's be faithful and fearless, doing what is right, for BLESSING awaits at night. Let choose the right when CHOICES are placed, for in the right God lives. Safety is the case for those that chooses right over wrong. God protects when we do what is right... Let CHANGE our ATTITUDES to right to make live again our dying NIGERIA. And with stout hearts, we should look forth till a better tomorrow, knowing we have done what is right. God bless Nigeria, God bless Nigerians.

Oh North, death has reared himself a throne lying far down in areas of your cover where the good, the better, and the best have all gone their eternal rest. In your circus of sky beneath, the melancholy waters now lie. So blend the turrets and shadows of you appears that all seem pendulous in air while from a proud tower death looks gigantically down with smiles to devour with its regular shatter of heart killing touches and war-like bewilderment through mélange of religious and ethnic discordance.

There open gaping graves that yawn for human swallow as death comes amidst nights to sight human dwells for strike. Day in and out, bloods meander forming oceanic banks for your soil's belly. Oh the blessed North - The onetime place of my heart - The home of agriculture; now, you have been deserted, desecrated with stinks of heart killing smells of unprecedented terror and famine that kills humanity with starvation, brutality and bitterness! Only few days ago, my brother-in-law, found in the pool of his own blood, amongst others all massacred. This is not you, oh North!

The killing waves in you have now a redder glow- Your hours breathing faint - Fear reigns, dominating minds in your harbor - Your human lives dive in death - As down down you settles devil rising from a thousand thrones of HELL for a seemingly endless battle against you and your dwellers. Oh North, how are the mighty fallen. When did you turn a laughing stock...a reference point for incompetence, stupidity, cowardice, evil and all that is bad to the rest of us Nigerians and the world? Truly, yours is a region afflicted as you seems finished crawling near to your grave whilst hope for redemption appear in apparent littleness.

When did you become so pitiful that people mocks you and heaps insults on you so easily? When did they start saying that you have ‘’no serious elements like vibrant youths to fight your enemies’’, and that you can’t even protect your own children and possessions anymore from touch of the devil? When did you become incapable of defending yourself against attacks of enemies slaughtering you in an orgy of mindless violence? When did you lose your strength, honor and your power? When did you lose your excellence, confidence, dignity and self-respect? When did you become so weak and so helpless?

Oh North, stay out from thy comforting hidey-hole, and take the battle to thy enemies - the visible devils living in you - to redeem your lost glory. And let thy dwellers stand their feet, search amongst themselves, for these enemies. Let them ingest the mellifluous song of courage to protect you staging a fight to obliterate your problems - be it government, terror squads, complicits, all under religious bigotry, and unreasonable divides from tribalistic craziness. This will serve a peculiar antidote to healing eternally, your seemingly almost incurable deadly injuries, and make you a better place to live again. North besieged with THORN... North now nut... but out of naught, the North should birth to glory. Oh North, here is my humble piece for a friend.

Lekki-Tollgate 20/10/20 Massacre
'
The unprovoked and mindless shooting, butchering, maiming and killing of armless and peaceful protesters by the soldiers, is only an implementation of instructions from their paymasters...the enemies of the youths...the enemies of democracy...Buhari, Sanwo-Olu, and Tinubu. This is genocide, and calls immediate intervention of ICC.

#EndSARS...#EndSWAT

If you are not physically AFFECTED by police brutality, then somehow, you are mentally AFFECTED if any nigerian is physically AFFECTED. It should always not be about you, but Nigeria at Large. #EndSARS...#EndSWAT. ‎

Higgledy-piggledy trails our tantrums; our ill conceived symbols of ethnicity and regionalism deceives to think we are different- a complex bundle of contraries. Our feckless antics unleashes torture of endless agony, draining our think-tank. My mind in a fainting tone, at the note of these bunkums, drawn in tremble inquiring: why are we like this!? We are full of life with us as one, to inspire our own course to the height of those attainable potentials, to swell the pool of desideratum humanity. But our insipidness with a cheerless face of an old humorless ram, plunges our spirit into a confounding state of double conflict resurrecting discord. Is this ignorance or arrogance!? What can be salvaged, when a sense of shame is lost? Am puzzled by the total loss of shame amongst masses by the comfort they enjoy in the excruciating snare of manipulations orchestrated to incite division by the cancerous elites.

Our stance "as masses" to matter defines a complex structural web of antonym; a people of restless boisterousness aiming no ends, filled with unique discordance, and crazily racing for the unfathomable vein of lunacy. We breed unique confusion as like traffic cacophony, blasting and blaring. Our ears tingles din by the noisy conundrum our baffling nature admits. Aren't we supposed to be a harmonious conglomeration, a potent component by national birth, inhabiting a portion of the universe? Shouldn't we rather moan and groan and grasp for oneness on exclusive worth in pace-setting, than openly adoring our stupidity yet shamelessly and without an iota of compunction!? If shame remains unburned in Nigeria, shouldn't we all be acutely worried of impending catastrophes?

As political, tribal, and religious fanaticism fuels the flame of discordance, turbid thoughts in turbulent waves ripple. Like the cataleptic fits of a hunted tyrant, our twisted tongue breeds nameless vices hunting our irking souls. Our untamed disagreements poisoned the joy Unity freely offers. Discord zooms us down to a lamentable doom, leaving no boon. Oh, the monster of our age: "Diversity-in-Opinion", an offspring of ethnic and religious bigotry! By your dawnless darkness, you war against unity of minds- heightening weakness above bravery. Plunged in your pool, the boundless joy of being a nation is betrayed and battered; swopped for the painful riddle of our irrevocable warrant, we are tagged with numerous nameless derogations- worst than the rag tag mat of "egbere"! But, whence shall we divorce division and tarry in unity? Seeing this dreaded fist of disunity, my inquisitive mind is saturated with the inquiry, "why are we like this!?"

Just when some people "Masses A" laments dire straits arising from economic ills as engendered by the eye-catching impolitic, amateurish, and maladroit controls of government..., there lies also the preponderance of people "Masses B", also suffering torment from the unpropitious, grievous, and seeming incurable economic ailment but chants accolade, heaps honor, and sings eulogy about same government. This leaves me to ponder: 'why are we like this!?' Acclimatized to unequaled discordant, cluttered with confusion, and having dramatized unique stupidity..., we have become a talk of ridicule before comity of nations. Our only delight is shamelessly reflecting shame with divisive and inconsequential standpoints amidst dire circumstance that prays honest attention. How did we get this way!? Of course, we are a nation of differences, should those differences make us weak or cause division!? Shouldn't those be our source of strength? Division murders the growth that could cause 'change' in a rare dawn of a glaring hope.

Shhhh..., "the honorable goons", could i have possibly forgotten so soon, these ruinous looters - the marauding beasts of terror - the cancerous elites - the cabals? Far-famed for manipulating ethnic, tribal, political, and religious division amongst masses to foster disunity for political gains, they make remarkable headway achieving their intentions. Masses fate dangles at the hand of these heartless marauders who rides on the crest of "demon crazy" to champion their craze for power. These are the besotted silhouette at the place of power with entrusted septre but have turned into a biting mamba. Fortified by the strength and confusion of common man and having enhanced their strong hold with the sweat of the masses, they wax stronger in iniquity. May the thunder's rage slit their bowl open and their flesh gutted by furnace charging with sulphur. But..., what can steer these besotted minds towards legislative chambers for sessions on populist welfare beyond the subjects of more contracts, estacodes, and the regular dosage of the national cake!?

When will masses admit they share common enemy? Will masses ever realize they are being manipulated by the cabals to achieve personal interests in the name of ethnicity, regionalism and religion? Will masses ever know these cabals unite as one irrespective of who they are to keep goals alive? Honorable goons murders the dreams of masses because flooded in their nature are the absence of mercy. Until the murder of these felonious groups is total, I doubt that masses will ever escape gallows. But where lies the difference, between honorable goons and masses? Sadly, honorable goons never cease in their struggle to get what they want but the masses do, by progressing in division. "Masses" are a prove of complex bundle of contraries, a subtle signal of unequal minded opposition, making life devoid of meaning with many futile but scattered efforts; with many wise but myopic thinkers; with great minded people but ardent confusionists!

The hearts of masses is deep, too dark for a moment excavation; too complex, for simple logic; too discombobulated to breed peace; pretentiously in order, but a monster of confusion. A tunnel replete with changing moods, an abysmal void from the dawn of genesis- it's hard getting the ample beam to penetrate the darkness of masses' hearts. Discordance only emits balls of fire from the hades of hell; when least expected, completely crushes us all to an ever regrettable dismal end. Let's wear our strength, as like of yesteryears, and breathe on love and industry. We must collectively come together, irrespective of tribe, region and religion, to fight against our common enemies, the ruling cancerous elites, who manipulate to inflict hardships and cycle stealing of national wealth.

The adamant trait of myopia, takes back the center stage for centuries. The price for pride is only now to pay. The unwanning will of repelling mind, keeps unity burning and welling up the veins of destiny. Let's ring with chants and melody dancing our way far from disunity and frictional vices, celebrating the ascension of our new-age-unity "a survival vehicle” and with homage to the relics of the thorny pasts and reckless transmogrification. The boon of unity is the peace to plant in the heart of restless souls. The mallet of irrevocable virtue must only wet our appetite for the challenge to come. It's only consequential we take a giant leap from the parochial tunnel of the incarcerating wall of disunity, to be let loose from the bondage and more impending wrath of poverty. To begin again, let's think how to think, let's refills our think-tank- fashioning a new model of humanity "a new spring for the cycle of a new wave", not in the spirit of strange scientism but of internalized ideology. Unity brings power and masses must discontinue to be used to attain disunity.

Cell in my heart, my mind sinks in tears, knowing no answer is yet ripe enough for my inquiry, "why are we like this?".

Thats Ogun not Lagos.

You are right, though. Sango is an outlying area of Lagos, actively dominated by migrants who toils to and fro Lagos. It's only thus logical, if not convenient, referring it as mentioned? Isn't?

1 hectare =

328ft x 328ft = 107,584 sqft or
100m x 100m = 10,000 sqm or
2.5 acres or
15 plots

1 plot =

Ibadan: 50ft x 100ft = 5000sqft = 15m x 30m = 450sqm
Lagos: 60ft x 120ft = 7200sqft = 18m × 36m= 648sqm
Enugu: 60ft x 100ft = 6000sqft = 18m x 30m = 540sqm
Osun: 100ft x 100ft = 10,000sqft = 30m x 30m = 900sqm.
Benin: 50ft x 100ft = 5,000sqft = 15m x 30m = 450sqm

A plot is a term used to describe the division made in a particular area by developers or government. It is not a standard measurement unit since it sizes varies per area, especially in Nigeria e.g. The size of a plot of land in Lagos is not the same in other states and so on.

NB.

Every building require a distance of 6 - 9 meters aways from any road, either inside or main road (depending on area).

The Lagos size of a plot i.e. 60ft x 120ft can take a block of 4 flats with garage for 4 occupants.

1 acre =

4,046sqm or
43,560sqft = 208.7ft x 208.7ft, or
6 plots (each plot = 60ft x 120ft) - standard size

----------------------------

Standard Measurement Units

1m = 3.28ft; 1m = 39.37in
1ft = 0.3048m; 1ft = 12inches

Conversion

To convert from feet to meter = 0.3 x (f) I.e. 60(feet) x 0.3 = 18m
To convert from meter to feet = 3.28 x (m) I.e. 18(meter) x 3.28 = 60ft

Thus:

60ft = 18m; 50ft = 15m
100ft = 30m; 120ft = 36m
60ft x 120ft = 18m x 36m
50ft x 100ft = 15ft x 30ft
