When they say Tinubu built lagos, Agbero and thuggery comes to mind..

this is coming from one of the mad men Obi said they are his adviser

collins07:

Sweswe killed Igidaduro and he was also killed with sledgehammer. 2006 to 2010 was terrible in Oshodi with gang war.Godomu saved me and my friend when Opc way laid us from Apakun,he stopped them before Adeogun and they shot him.that angered Mc,mc asked us what happened and I narrated it to him.
By midnight Mc and his boys entered Afariogun road at midnight to attack Opc.there was gunshots till 3am,they burnt Opc base,killed and wounded many chain.Oshodi memories is not palatable even with that Jalisco is fun.

By 2010, Oshodi has calm down, it's far better than many areas in Lagos now, since MC has shift his trade to state level.

Tinubu lagacy!

No wonder Lagos was ranked the worst city to live in the world after war torn Damascus in Syria.

A vote for Tinubu means that Syria, Iraq and Libya combined will be better than Nigeria.

Vote Wisely!

Aljazzera News or Any foreign media should make a documentary about this story.

People need to see the wickedness, rot and killings going on in that part of Lagos.

My own Kirikiri Rd Olodi Apapa to be precise. Wilmer and People's bus stop comes to mind. I enjoyed that area

My hood...

I grew up with these thugs holding the entire area hostage..

People wey dem dey warn us about those days say make we stay away from and face school na dem Batolomew don turn to political kingpins and could make anyone of them a governor if he so decides.

Life...

I miss my Mafoluku and entire Oshodi jare...

Days of humble beginnings...

Na we start snooker for Oshodi that year wey I dey flog dem any how for competition....lol

Na Faze of plantation boys dey collect beating from my hand recently..

Na for snooker board I learn the word '"concept". Anytime wey I cut better ball to pot, you go hear "wow, nice concept"... Lol

Kai, bomboy the terror those days...

I can still recall how we were hustling aviation fuel by digging and possibly puncturing pipes transporting aviation fuel for kerosene during Abacha's reign on the fringes of the airport grounds.

Dem Bomboy oppress us sha

Faze dey live for mafoluku too?

Dshocker:


I heard bomboy was stabbed with a poisonous knife?

With all of this, Ajegunle is still number one in thug life

Naxo bro!

That's why I always laff at some of dis Benin boiz pumping chest up and down displaying colours like royalties, even bragging!

We didn't know or care to know wat a cult is, we know of gangs, boiz, area paddy men them...

na wen I come Benin I knw wetin Dem dey call cultist

Chai!.. Oshodi filled with bitter And sweet memories

Treasure17:
Oshodi is a dreaded place anytime.

A bit calm now, but you can clearly see it's nothing but uneasy calm. All the relics of those gory days are still very much present. Nowadays you could even see the likes of talo and Koko zaria playing and exercising alongside regular people. We no too dey fear them again �

All Countries in the world including your Almighty USA, UK and Russia have their own underworld Lords and they are always affiliated to those in politics to do the dirty works.



That said, APC will not smell my vote next year

sonnie10:

When Bomboy bought the land to build his private house in Ijegun, the area boys at ijegun did not have any idea who he was because he had kept a low profile. When the workers started clearing the place, those boys came as usual to extort him. He refused and instead called his boys from Oshodi to come to the place. They arrived in 5 molue buses full of boys.
That day, nobody in the whole of Ijegun slept at home.
The bala had to call him and after much begging, he was given the title of Alakosi of Ijegun.
That was where he lived with his only daughter and wife until he died.

5 fuuuulll molue buses!

him na d real Jagaban!
Emilokan crooner is Jez an imposter!

obinoral1179:
This story brought back memories..... 36 kiniun had their base in brown street oshodi... Talo is a short man and always like to put on short... Oshodi is now better than before.

This article says a different thing from what I heard. I heard from another source that it was oluomo that killed talo's boss. But the article says it was talo himself who rebelled and killed his own boss.

Faber:


Me living in Lagos, e be like say something dey work you

Then stop criticising a place you don't live...face your front.

gasparpisciotta:
Just like the Chicago mob of the 50s

Have you watched the movie, 'Gangs of Newyork' by Martin Scorsese, based on loosely held historical facts but nonetheless represented what early modern American society was.

Clan warfare for dominance turned into gangland. Like Newyork'which was the harbour and gateway for migrants from Europe so are all these gangs in Lagos today, all of them non indegenous Lagosians fighting for territory and power in ungoverned spaces.

In decades to come and in a few generations 'Lagosians' will look back and wonder with regret how these shameful things become part of their subculture.

Indirectly. Oro bayo for all the years i have known him, He is always a peace maker and peace keeper, he once safe me against orile boys at ogunoloko in his based while i was working at a cyber cafe.

I may know u.
There are only just two or three cyber cafes then in the entire ogunoloko

polimaf:
Anyone who grew up in Oshodi, Mafoluku, Ogunoloko can attest to this story. Swe swe was killed and burnt alive on my street in Mafoluku then after he threatened to kill Mc's children and younger brother.

Rumour has it he killed Igidaduro.

Dark times

Swe Swe was very handsome and softly spoken when in good mood....
He was burnt close to mafogram

Is that all , with the gang etc and etc ,can you compare oshodi of yesterday with that of today.... oga go back to ya villages

The thread is a supposed one for all Oshodites in any part of the world. The ugly incidents that happened way back in oshodi in early 2000 is peculiar to every community where young boys seeks to survive the odds of life. The junctions mentioned are the most notorious one out of the huge numbers that you find at almost every junction of oshodi streets then.
Oshodi has produced great personalities in the academics, government, corporate world, and many more that the area boys are few numbers that ruined the community.
Most of these street Lords are our classmates who dropped out of secondary school either to learn a trade then later deviated to other means of survival as young lads. The street gangs/urchins can't be attributed to be caused by an individual/government for there existence/atrocities. I recall when Fashola said, the solution to stop area boys is to stop the areas, and government was able to stop the existence of illegal busstops that breed the touts for a more centralised and legal parks. Above all, it's hatred, unforgiveness, mistrust, betrayal, bitterness and greed that brew conflicts amongst the gangs.

Chaii this story.. Not only oro bayo was killed and burnt. his right man 18 steady and a tout police officer badmus too.was killed

Talo skibo, short man devil, we live in the same street at sango, he will always tell me that every day is his last day, he has accepted mc as his boss now after amburger was gruesomely murdered, that’s why there’s relatively peace at oshodi now… thuggery and gangsterism is deep oo

Bomboy did not die in a physical fight. So it would be hard to say exactly what.

Big Bomboy is NOT Ugochukwu Obiora!!! He is a former heavyweight champion called Charles Udealor from Anambra. Nice article though

obonujoker:
One day Nigeria will get better, and all these jargons, thugs free life will end.....

Street gangs are everywhere in the world (except a few cities Sha). The popular slogan is: Oshodi got no King, it has Oluomo.

He sustained a bottle cut to his leg during one of the fights. The wound escalated to the point he lost his life as a result.

Which sango?
Sango ota?

The craving for easy money is at the root of the hooliganism.

Take a look at what the so called oluomo has done for himself within a short time. Even koko Zaria, his deputy, is now a multi millionaire (if not a billionaire) -- all thanks to state-sponsored thuggery.

These Lagos politicians, especially tunubu and his foot soldiers, should be very ashamed of themselves.

One day the people will stand up and refuse to take any more of their sh!t.

irunoko:
I don't like the way teni was glorifying thuggery and hailing MC oluomo in her song.i was irritated because if she knew the history of oshodi and MC oluomo she will be disgusted by the likes of MC oluomo.lagos kids need to know their history, MC oluomo is not in anyway a model or worth being a model because of his past antecedents.hes just a street criminal in the early 90s who the APC led Administration empowered and decorated for their political interests.

Teni knows what she was doing. The average Yoruba man like his thugs. Their is parental failure in Yorubaland. It is a very big issue not yet acknowledged.

Oga leave that abeg. In as much as i dont suport urchin breeding in lagos, i think Uyo is far far worse. political thuggery is fierce in uyo, aspirant are killed and maimed in broad daylight. No better source of livelihood (no producion coy), virtually all the ladies there, are into prostitution... No job

Faber:
Gangs, Hooligans and Drug pushers that's what Tinumpoo achieved in Lagos

The state with highest percentage of unhappy and displaced persons is Lagos...


Give me 5 reasons to live in Lagos, then I will give u 30 reasons to live in Uyo ( The nation's paradise)

Well I don’t think that day will come
Naso we dy always wish and wish for naija

Mc Oluomo is now very powerful and he is being touted to be a governor any time soon

Souljerj:
This Topic was inspired because of BOMBOY(Ugochukwu Dum Obiora ) I have been hearing of him 4 quite sometime but he just caught my intrigue the more wen I heard that he is not

And I guess the only person or thing that can topple Oluomo is ( Coup detat), God factor(Death or Illness) and if TINUBU turns his back on him

you know this how? Can you expatiate on who bomboy was and his role in all of this, I mean oshodi thug life?

You're correct about the rape and sexual harassment. Once it's 7 - 7:30pm, infact once it's getting dark, it's dangerous to move around as a female in those areas. Even hawkers ain't soared nowadays

even small Small adolescent girls who have pimples breasts aren't even conscious of their sexuality get raped,kidnapped ,bullied and killed.thise Mobile female traders are their major target for bullying.they can just take pure water or Chin Chin on the head of the little girl Hawking and feel they have no need to pay.thry might have the money to pay but there's this sense of entitlement they have so tinubu being president will bring untold violence, killing, raping and arson on another level with state backing

By the way the usual burning of balogun market during Christmas season or towards the end of the year in the middle of the night,who do you think is behind it? I like the way Igbo traders in Lagos island put them in their place and I Think it's the resentment that they cannot exploit and bully Igbo traders like they do with others are what I suspect motivates their arson.their motto is usually if I cannot have his stuff via bullying and violence,we will rather Destroy everything.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against tinubu but his use of touts and putting them in sensitive political positions is what I find disturbing
