Sorry if this sounds insensitive but I think his girlfriend wanted him to die


Why? First of all if you work at a filling station, you must be at work by 6-7, not 8 AM, that's the first kleg

Secondly boyfriend texts you he wants to commit suicide but you stayed at work, calling him, he didn't pick your call and you assumed everything is OK?



On a very good day, considering all the publicity suicide and depression has received, a sane person would rush home to meet bf , if sex would calm him, if it's weed if it's drinking to stupor , something will save him that day



But I guess these generation of ladies, majority of them are selfish money gobbling problems , and they don't love like our fore fathers and parents used to


That's a fact, you can mention or insult all you want it wouldn't change the fact that girls these days are after money only not love

Bros that's the result of Zeeworld they watch on a daily basis oo..

Mumuism at its peak.

Leave Lagos if you like bribe – CP tells DPOs
Leave Lagos if you like bribe – CP tells DPOs
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni,
on Tuesday warned Area Commanders and
Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in the state
police command to shun bribery or leave the
state.
Owoseni stated this during a lecture on Code of
Conduct for Law Enforcement Officers at the
Police Officers’ Wives’ Association (POWA) Hall,
Ikeja.
He warned that the era of impunity and corruption
among cops was gone, appealing to his
subordinates to come for transfer if they would
not want to play by the rules in the state.
He said: “I am tired of hearing about shooting or
killing of innocent persons. No one has the right to
take another man’s life. It is only God that has the
right to take life.
“It is your responsibility as a DPO to know those
who are collecting bribe under you. If you refuse
to stop them, they will stop you from being a
DPO.
“It is embarrassing to see policemen collecting
bribes and chasing yahoo yahoo boys for a DPO. I
would not cover any DPO. I will expose you. Just
leave Lagos before I get to your station. I cannot
share out of your misconduct. I will give your
photographs and details to journalists to expose
you.
“I am shocked to hear that some Area
Commanders and DPOs are on the pay rolls of
fraudsters. I am investigating. Just pray that I
don’t get you. Just know that you are causing
pains for taxpayers if you are intimidating them
and collecting bribe from criminals.
“It is a curse to build a house with the money. The
building would collapse on your head. Some of
you even take people to the bank to collect
money. If you train your children with the money,
they won’t be useful to you.
“If those who were in the force before us
bastardized it, we would not have the opportunity
to be enlisted in the police. I am tired of pleading
with police victims because you are doing what
you are not supposed to do. Remember, one day,
you are going to die and give account to your
creator.
“Go back to your areas of jurisdiction and warn
your men against brutality, indiscriminate use of
handcuffs on pregnant women, elders and
persons with disability.
“Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) should take
note. I will not tolerate any act of indiscipline.
“Learn a lesson from DPO Ijeshatedo, who shot
dead a fashion designer. He is in our custody and
we are compiling charges against him. He would
soon be arraigned in court.
“All DPOs in Ikorodu should use all resources
within their disposals to fish out Badoo cult group
that has been causing havoc in the community. I
am giving you all 48 hours to decongest your
cells. Nobody should be detained more than 48
hours. I will
conduct checks on the cells.”

tollyboy5:
Lagos is not been over celebrated but still Lagos state is too poor to what I understand but people don't know that I've decided not to blame anyone because population keep increasing management become tougher . with money generated they should have the best university in Nigeria. But half bread is better than none . I'm optimistic about 2019 when Lagos oil would be refined at Lagos west maybe that one would create more access to complete projects as they generate more income

God bless you my brother.

why now??

for the lawyer to have been banned in Maryland and new York, he must have reach the highest limit here in Nigeria...

KANU abeg look for another competent and strong lawyer abeg.

I believe by now it is no longer news that Lagos, the “New York of Nigeria” as Otunba Dele Momodu once described the largest city in Africa in terms of population and one of the fastest growing cities on planet in his article clocks 50 this year. Every corner, every nook and cranny of Lagos you pass by, you would most likely see images, signposts that informs you of the milestone.

Similarly, different social media platforms without any element of exaggeration have been flooded in the past few weeks with different hash tags about this landmark.

The purpose of this write up is not to further market the anniversary or to pronounce this milestone as a success or otherwise but to look at facts that would help us deduce if Lagos at 50 is actually a success as it has been painted to be or if it is otherwise.

Now more than ever have I been forced to think more about the egg and chicken theory; asking myself which came into existence first, if it was the chicken or the egg. I am forced to ask if Lagos came into existence before Nigeria or Nigeria came into existence before Lagos because series of success stories about Lagos flying all over the internet in the past few weeks needs some reviews if you ask me.

It might be too early to for us to conclude that the success stories of Lagos at 50 are exaggerated if it is a success at all or if the success is being under celebrated, that’s left for readers to decide at the end of this article. I do not have a perfect or well calibrated yardstick at the moment to determine this. For the purpose of this write up and for simplicity sake I would assume a stand that Lagos at 50 is a success.

One way to determine the extent of this success is by comparing Lagos as a state with other states in the Federation. For example, taking Ogun state a neighbouring state which is often referred to as New Jersey of Nigeria when Lagos is referred to as the New York of Nigeria.

Ogun state celebrated 40 years of existence last year but when we try to compare the developmental gap between Lagos and Ogun state without any element of exaggeration, you would agree with me that Ogun is far more than a decade behind Lagos and this goes for so many other states in Nigeria if not all. Ogun just happens to be the state of comparison here.

When you talk of industrialization, civilization, commercialization and infrastructural development, Ogun is arguably like three decades behind Lagos. No intention to humiliate Ogun or the great people of Ogun. The prolific Ogun state known for producing national heroes, from sports where you can mention Muda Lawal of blessed memory, to academics where we have the Nobel laureate; Prof Wole Soyinka.

Another way we can determine if Lagos is a success at 50 or not is to look at the economy of the state. Presently, the state is the fifth largest economy in Africa with a GDP.of $30bn according to versus.com with internally generated revenue of about $600M annually. Report says Lagos has the potential to be Africa’s second largest economy by 2030. These are figures we see all over the internet but the question we ask is, how does this reflect in the life of the average Lagosian?



Lagos is a city like none, with its unique history among other state in the country, the commercial hub of the federation. The adopted home of businessmen, politicians, musicians, celebrities and so on. The city of dream, hope and breakthrough. A state whose internally generated revenue is more than the remaining south-western state put together.

A state that if it were to be a country would be among the top five economies in Africa. I can go on to write fascinating facts about Lagos but like I said earlier, the purpose of this write up is not market Lagos in any dimension but for readers to make some deduction after reading this. It may surprise us to know that Lagos with all these exciting facts houses Makoko; a place once referred to has the biggest floating city in the world.

Off course not the type of floating city we have in the Arab emirates but a perfect opposite of it. Makoko, a complete slum spread out beneath the second longest bridge in Africa and the longest in West- Africa; the third mainland bridge has always been a nightmare for the Lagos state government. The state government have always wanted to demolish the slum and evacuate residents but always through the same approach; force. No one comes to Lagos and visits the Island for business, vacation or just any event without having a full view of the slum. No wonder Lagos is being described as the Ocean of poverty and Island of Wealth.

It is imperative for me to draw our minds to some facts about the state of Lagos today before I close for the day, so we can make some quality deductions and conclude if Lagos at 50 is actually a success worth celebrating or not. Although unemployment is a global challenge but unemployment at rate as high as 21% according to versus.com for a state like Lagos that boast of an IGR. of about 200 billion naira per annum might not be good enough. Education, healthcare and infrastructures are another area I would want us to ask questions about.

Do we have the quality we expect for a state with such enormous IGR? Readers should answer these and decide accordingly if Lagos at 50 is a success, and if it is worth celebrating or perhaps if it is being under celebrated.
