Pacesetterz: Op welcome to Nigeria where every goddamed soul wants to erect buildings very close to d main road. If the govt does this it means so many buildings will go down and pple will wail. That A! Building has already occupied a sidewalk..the building next to it is d only one that tried sef Oxford street is not that wide, but it works.. Once we clear all those gates and fences on Allen, and demolish the odd building or two that are just too close to the road, there will be space. Oxford St, London. https://a.cdn-hotels.com/gdcs/production44/d1121/2d02d25f-8b0a-470d-8113-fd7b30880743.jpgCan you imagine if on both sides of this road was a big fat open gutter with no sidewalks, and just sand and mud on both sides of the road, that you would see all these people walking up and down the road like this?
How can?
We are seriously underselling our commercial spaces by not building our streets the RIGHT way.
We're leaving money on the table! |

lomprico: You are dating a Narcissist Nigeria is full of millions of narcissists. They can be our siblings, parents, friends, co-workers. A really easy sign that you are dealing with a narcissist is if they say something to mock you, and when you call them out on it, they’ll claim they were only joking, and make YOU the villain for lacking a sense of humour. At least 95% of narcissists do this. Their aim is to attack your self esteem and confidence. If you are the target of a narcissist, there’s only one real solution - no contact. |

Guest911: It’s naive to think that Nigerians are not the ones damaging the infrastructure. Create that kind of sidewalk and watch how traders will dig up the ground to plant their umbrellas or kiosk, pee on trees, drop all manners of trash , sands. Next thing you know, Okada and keke will turn the sidewalk to shortcut, and when it rains the sands and the trash combined together will turn it back to the eyesore it originally was, a reflection of your average Nigerian.
People go use their hand throw rubbish into canal , then blame government when the canal stop flowing. I disagree thoroughly. For starters, Allen Avenue is not Oshodi. It is in a middle class area in Ikeja that attracts reasonably sophisticated people visiting high-end establishments on the street. A well policed Allen Ave with CCTV monitoring activities therein, with sidewalks and covered drains is very workable and is needed. Plus other adjoining streets like Opebi road should get the same upgrade. Abuja streets have sidewalks and nobody is pissing or selling on them. Are they not Nigerians? |

Jewessgratitud3: No love here. She's a manipulator and will mess up your emotions in the long run.
Sit her down and tell her straight up, if she cannot be responsible and sorry for her actions ( regardless of who's feeling what), then the relationship can't continue.
Relationship should no longer be based on feelings. It should be more intentional and practical for it to work. There’s no need for him to discuss anything with her. It will be fruitless. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a real thing. Narcissists are not normal human beings like the rest of us. They have no conscience. They have no empathy. They never apologise, and if they do, it’s done grudgingly and because they want something from you. They consider love as weakness. The more you love them, the more they despise you. They will betray you easily without looking back, including revealing your secrets to others. They desperately crave attention. Negative or positive it doesn’t matter. They consider themselves superior to other people, but they treat you based on how highly or lowly they rate you. Unlike normal folks who generally treat everyone the same. They never accept fault, and always have a counter-accusation to throw back at you when you call them out. They don’t change. How can you change when you believe you are perfect? They are bad news. Run. |

Exactly. She’s a pure narcissist. They specialise in manipulation and emotional abuse. The ONLY solution for handling narcissists is to end all contact with them.

jite006j: Until Nigerians and Nigeria government start killing thieves and kidnappers instead of arresting them and putting them in jail crime will never stop in Nigeria. Corrupt government agencies only know how to oppressed the innocent citizens. When the police or government agencies arrest criminals they took small bribe as bailing and releases them to the society. How do you want this crime to stop. Stupid country, start killing anyone involve in rubbing or kidnapping and make it public no hiding of face and you will see change coming to every communities and cities in the Country This is why some people want military rule, to enforce such draconian laws, because this DEMOCRAZY we practice will not allow that to happen. |

If this your plan is implemented, someone will build a carpark(employment is created and more revenue to govt from tax). That is how money changes hands and trickle down.
In Nigeria we believe that dumping the money in foreign bank is the way forward. Thank you jare my brotha. I was also wondering about how the guy was reasoning. He was prioritising parking over profits. If there’s no parking you take taxi or bus like others. What matters most is boosting commercial activity on the street. |

Ezewuzie01: Also advise Alex Otti of Abia state to incorporate sidewalks into his road designs. All the roads he is doing so far have open gutters which are truly mediocre. That is just tragic. Any governor who builds a road like that today deserves to be stoned to death! This nonsense only happens in Nigeria. The other day I was looking at pictures of cities in Rwanda. Everywhere had sidewalks and covered drains, and I started wondering that how can Rwanda that is not even as rich as Kogi state, and is still recovering from a tragic CIVIL WAR, be building roads like this, yet in Nigeria we are open gutter experts? Who did this to us? |

maleekberry: Guy it's not as if our leaders don't know what to do, asides corruption another big problem with Nigerian leaders is lack of nerves to take the big decisions.
If buildings ( hospitals, mosques, churches, schools and even cemeteries) needs to be demolished to pave way for modern infrastructure our leaders will rather not demolish these things they will prefer to maintain the status quo.
Nigeria needs leaders that can take the big decisions.
Majority of the roads in major cities in nigeria is so narrow and yet government upon government can't demolish and compensate adequately to pave way for Morden highways.
Isn't it even a big shame that in 2023 there are still places in nigeria with olden days wooden bridges linking one part of a local government to another. Na wa, my brotha. |

This is Allen Avenue, Ikeja today. https://i0.wp.com/alternativeadverts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Wall-drape-ALONG-ALLEN-AVENUE-BY-OSHOPPEY-PLAZA-FTF-ALADE-MARKET.jpgThis street is like the Oxford Street or Times Square of Lagos, with all kinds of fancy shops, restaurants, banks, companies, etc. It is the sort of place that should be seeing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of passers-by per day, including window shoppers, just like in Times Square in New York, or Oxford Street in London. Impulse buying, whereby you just pass by and see something and buy on impulse without prior planning, accounts for a HUGE percentage of sales on those streets, leading to huge revenue for the sellers and huge tax income for the govt. What makes all this possible in those places but not on ALLEN AVENUE? Answer = SIDEWALKS AND COVERED DRAINS.https://www.sfbetterstreets.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/special-sidewalk-paving.jpgOnce you build Allen Avenue like this above, it will attract several thousands of pedestrians per day and TRANSFORM the volume of trade on that street by a minimum 600%, bringing greater tax revenue to the state govt. The Lagos state govt should do this. |

Democracy works in Europe and America because citizens of the above countries will never vote for a senile old man with a lot of controversy. Democracy will continue to be a failure in Africa because majority are largely uneducated folks guided by sentiments and tribe and religion rather than merit and competence. More coups are going to happen in Africa because people are gradually wising up to see that democracy is just a facade filled with lies and unfulfilled promises.

BiafraAburi: Who ever refers to that cesspit as a "nation" should be shot at sight of typing "nation". Did you see why that cesspit can never work. Different peoples with different ideologies, different way of life, different value system, different religions, e.t.c.
Each region and people to their own. Never a time of national cohesion for protests that can benefit them except when the rest are hating on the Igbos. Yorubas are certainly against this ongoing protest in Kano because of their region's interest, and Igbos can never join this protest even at the point of death, rather they may support it tacitly because of a different interest too.
See why the country MUST be divided and different nations inside it go their separate ways to form their own independent nations, but the useful idiot daft and dumb Igbos that calls themselves obidioootss can never ever understand this simple reasons, but will rather prefer to stay in a union where they are humiliated, subjugated, cheated, maimed, their businesses destroyed, killed and frequently told to go back to their own region.
Ask these useful idiot, dumb ass Igbos what they are hoping to benefit in such a union in the face of all the atrocities against them listed above, they will start blabbing how they are the richest, most educated, most developers, and the most annoying, will refer to you to their useless cities that has no sewage system, pipe born water, uninterrupted electricity, road side walk pavements, viable hospitals, top school/education system, good road networks (no bumps), social services, public ambulances, efficient fire service and so many other things that makes a city.
Yet they can build viable cities that will have all of the above listed if they secede and have their own nation called Biafra. A nation that have in it's Igbo territory, the world's largest gas deposit and potentially ranking about number 5 in the world, in crude oil deposit. Talk about the most foolish clan on earth. I mean some of my people, the Igbos. Yes, some of my people the igbos, and they know themselves here in this forum.
