plaindealer: What's the meaning of this ignorant rubbish? LAWMA"s service is a paid service, not a free service, Lagosians all over Lagos subscribe for LAWMA to remove and dispose their waste for a monthly fee, it is obvious that the dirty Ladipo pigs are not paying LAWMA for their services like the rest of Lagos because they are used to their rotten, primitive and barbaric village pigsty way of life.
Are your dirty Ladipo brothers paying LAWMA to remove their waste? No.
Before you villagers compare Nigeria with advanced countries, get proper education about residential and commercial waste disposal in advanced countries
In advanced countries, all residential and commercial buildings must engage waste disposal companies to dispose their waste for a monthly fee, you cannot litter your environment for any reason, I mean, not for any reason, the city will fine you, they will also remove the waste and send you the bill with penalties included and even put a lein on your house if you don't pay.
Even in some areas, big shops are charged only N300 per month.
Fake Internet billionaires cannot pay N300 for waste disposal.
Please, confine your dirty and ignorant village ways to your fellow dirty village people.
This is why they say you people are too socially underdeloped to be part of any sane and lawful society or even coexist peacefully with other people.
Like I said it's obvious that you're bigoted and unwilling to reason like a rational being so continuing this conversation will be akin to arguing with a deranged individual.
How do you know that the traders don't pay for waste disposal? Don't they pay taxes in the billions monthly to the government? Again I ask what services has LAWMA provided in this public space to demand payment?
I hope you are not one of those keyboard cowards. Please air these your 'views' when next you are in Ladipo let's see what reactions you will get.
plaindealer: See dirty, pigsty and rotten ipob mentality.
So, because there's LAWMA, you are free to trash everywhere, desecrate your surroundings and create health and environmental hazards?
LAWMA educates you every day on how to manage and dispose of trash.?
I bet the rotten pigs and shop owners did not sign up for the LAWMA waste disposal service because the clowns don't want to pay the monthly disposal fees.
Btw, which agency is responsible for the rubbish below in your village?
Did you destroy this market with rotten trash and still sit on top of this stinking and rotten mess to buy and sell all day because your useless government did not clean your mess for you?
Some of you live worse than animals and it's sad that you are used to this rotten and pigsty way of life.
Sad..
From your clearly bigoted response it's evident that it would be difficult to have a rational conversation with you but I will try. Of course I will not demean myself to get into racist discussions. This is strictly about government putting necessary structures in place. So let's not make this conversation emotive but rational.
In sane societies, people don't litter indiscriminately because there are waste receptacles everywhere. Also waste disposal agencies are up and alive to their responsibilities. Similarly people will pay for functional utilities like electricity over going to buy fuel to run their generators. It's just plain common sense. You won't see someone with toilet in his house go out to defecate outside.
LAWMA was promulgated to provide waste disposal services which they have are clearly not doing. They are not alive to their responsibilities and should be held accountable for the heaps of refuse appearing everywhere. If you choose to punish Lagosians by depriving them of their source of daily income you also reduce income to the state as well as create more societal problems when desperate people now resort to crime.
olakraft: Ladipo is filled with Yoruba traders as well as Igbos, so you don't need to make this about tribe. Many Yorubas are there selling bags of rice, not just Igbos.
If you are someone who values hygiene and cleanliness, you'd agree that dirtiness should be discouraged...
Let me ask you a simple question.... Will inhabitants in a house with a toilet go out to the bush to defecate?
Will people go out to dispose of waste indiscriminately if proper waste bins are provided everywhere and same emptied periodically by the relevant government agency? So please tell me what LAWMA has been doing to keep these markets clean? Instead they choose to bully the shop owners and cripple their source of daily income.
Charity begins at home. The problem is with LAWMA. If they are active in the discharge of their duties we won't be having these developments.
Government should be for the people and is supposed to be a service. People will happily pay for functional services. This is the truth.
I repeat it is only the foolish that will leave a perfectly functional waste bin to dispose of refuse indiscriminately and if such offenders are identified then they should be punished appropriately.
1. States that charge multiple taxes (like Lagos). 2. The plan to pass it on to the subscribers as if they are the ones who implemented the multiple taxes. 3. I may be wrong but I have not heard of this practice in other countries before.
Yes there is a problem for the Telcos but instead of taking the cheap way out to punish the people the problem of multiple taxes should be revisited and urgently.
PARADIZEPRIEST: GOING ON STRIKE WHEN YOU KNOW IT MAKES NO SENSE,IS SERIOUS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. AJERO OR WHATEVER BE SENSIBLE. HAVE A NEGOTIATION WITH GOVT TO BUILD REFINERY,THIS IS THE SOLUTION.
Dollar is now N1050. When will you receive sense?
ABI you have not heard that the labour unions are tired of coming to negotiation table only for government not to keep their part of the agreement?
seunmsg: Federal public service is very different from the state service. Any minister that want to take on the civil servant will run into trouble sooner than later. Umahi needs to calm down and work with the ministry staff if he intends to achieve anything meaningful in the ministry.
So in essence Umahi should turn a blind eye to corruption in the system because it's a federal ministry abi?
It's this kind of mentality that has brought the country to its current distasteful situation where corruption is entrenched in every sphere of life.
Abagworo: The policy failed just like IREV. The aim was to reduce money in circulation and change our economy to electronic driven instead of cash driven but it failed because the Banks who claimed to have a system to accomodate increase in electronic banking suddenly turned around to claim their servers couldn't manage the inceeased transactions then they went ahead to hoard the printed currency selling them to politicians. To me it remains an excellent policy that should have been continued even after election.
I agree 💯 with you. We have been on this cashless policy drive now for over 10 years and at the first time of going fully live, the banks failed us and of course also the politics and the hoarding of cash messed everything up
To implement in this current climate of extreme hardship would be close to impossible though because those (political) forces with stockpiles of cash that this policy was designed to checkmate have been given enough time to exchange their old notes for the new ones. So right now implementing it will only affect the poor who control less than 15% of the total money supply.
Judolisco: no bro.... It's value for money... Give someone 1k here and d person might not even thank you.... Give another person in d us 1k or even 500 usd and they person might start crying that might be their 1 month salary
Bros Google minimum wage US monthly... You will see $1,160. Meanwhile minimum wage Nigeria is N30k. Do you now understand why N1k in Nigeria is worthless compared to $1k in the US?
just2endowed: this is how its calculated. If a foreigner comes to visit nigeria and bring in 100 dollars to spend on vocation. the foreigner will get cheap food, cheap data, cheap fuel, cheap beer, cheap drinks and so on. so the foreigner is king over here in nigeria. thats why because of the loss of the value of naira on a daily basis, nigeria is now becoming the cheapest country to live in the world
Not to live..... To visit. Know the difference. The citizens don't live on the dollar. They live on the naira. This calculation should reflect the domestic value of money.
ThatFairGuy1: Without sentiment or prejudice, almost everything is free in Nigeria.
There may be poverty which is in every country, but this about Nigeria is a reality.
I'm a proud Nigerian and I'm optimistic Nigeria will be more better in me and those who wishes so lifetime.
God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria
You must be very mad. ..
What exactly is cheap talk less of free in Nigeria?
Is it electricity? Food? Water? Hospitals? School? Housing? Security? Clothing? Gas? Kerosene? TRANSPORTATION?
Which one is free in Nigeria?
As for the statistician who came up with this stat.... Thunder fire him..... Let him come and stay in Nigeria for just 1 month living on Nigeria's minimum wage and then release an updated set of statistics after Nigeria has reset his brain .
crossbreedwears: Policy that made a lot of people hungry, ruin businesses and made life unbearable for millions of Nigerians most especially uneducated women selling food stuffs. It's obvious you lack sense and you support evil. Emefiele policy was for his own selfish interest!
Please explain to me the financial benefit of the redesign policy to Emefiele.
That redesign policy during its short stint encouraged the geometric growth of bank transfers which encourages audit trail and transparency in the system. Things that caused the policy not to work are mainly politicians who instigated Nigerians to protest and Nigerians themselves who started hoarding cash instead of just taking what they needed per time thus making the cash more scarce than it should have been.
Cajal: Best interest of the country you say? Did he follow standard practice? No How would that be in the best interest of you people?
What do you define as standard practice?
Essentially the policy aimed at encouraging financial inclusion and accountability by compelling people to bring in their monies into the financial system or lose value.
Where things went wrong was in the implementation This would have helped drive down inflation if the policy had been allowed to work. But Politicians instigated Nigerians to agitate against it.
Abagworo: The currency swap failed because corrupt politicians connived with banks to make it fail. The next day after the swap implementation Tinubu handed over 100k of new Naira notes on TV.
In Nigeria the easiest way to solve a national problem is to find any Igbo man and give him 100% blame then leave the problem unsolved.
I agree with you. To me the policy was a good idea perhaps the timing was wrong but if we had allowed the policy to work it would have helped shrink corruption because it would have encouraged transparency and audit trail for funds in the system.
allthingsgood: Did it jump to that amount overnight It’s the seed emefiele planted that u are reaping
Please don't come to a public forum to expose your stupidity. Kindly explain how the currency change influenced the price of dollar. If anything making naira scarce is supposed to increase demand for naira making it more valuable and thus drive down the dollar price.
femisplash: Labour thieves.. They should start from all the refineries and ground their members sleeping at the refineries and collecting bogus salaries without producing a drop of fuel.
Thieves can only operate in a non-secure environment.
Initially PBAT alleged he lost his credentials as they were stolen from his house while he was on exile.
Ok fine he went and obtained a replacement copy.
So why is he reluctant to authorise his school to release his academic records if everything is intact in these records? Should a first class graduate be afraid for the public to view his records? Why are there discrepancies in his submitted result that his school cannot clarify?
