OgaFactCheck:
It appears that Lagos State Government has abandoned those areas. There are 3 major towns in that axis. That is Baiyeku, Oreta and Ofin. All the roads (each less than 20km) are very bad. The worst of the roads is the Oreta road despite the town's potential as a tourist destination. The three towns border the Lagos lagoon.

The Oreta has an annual Igunuko festival that is popular and can rival the Agbo festival in Agbowa-Ikosi and the Ojude-Oba festival in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. People come from far and near every year to watch the amazing Igunuko supposedly walking on water without the cloth getting soaked. The three towns are coastal with a lot of tourism potentials.

That Oreta road has been abandoned for more than 25 years with series of letters written to relevant authorities in Lagos State without any solution.

I am an indigene of the town (from my father side). So, I know what I am talking about

My father side has roots in Oreta and Imota while my mother side has roots in Ikorodu town and Odonguyan side (both in Lagos) yet, despite been qualified for a position (no other person presented that needed qualification at the time) , a higher education in the State deprived me of that opportunity, used me for accreditation purpose (yes, I was instrumental to getting the accreditation), but was discarded after the accreditation despite a strong recommendation for the accreditation committee sent from Abuja. Yet, the institution is filled with many people who are not indigenes and were not as qualified as I was in that field as at the time of the accreditation.

Lagos State Government needs to pay attention to the suburbs and particularly, Lagos indigenes who appear to have been relegated to the background in the State
our destiny is in our hands. No to sit down and wait for fair share.

Anytime you are in Lagos from Owerri or is it Onitsha, I would love to take you on a ride on one of our trains. cheesy
Have some shame.....

Stop defending the indefensible. Fine the blue line metro has started operations which is laudable but let's not forget it was completed almost 10 years after the target date meanwhile the red line is still uncompleted and the other proposed metrolines like the green and purple line are still yet to commencée.

Lagos is supposed to be a megacity but unfortunately is a megaslum. For the massive IGR generated daily there shouldn't be a single bad road but unfortunately that is not the case. Not only bad roads but there is a general decay of public infrastructure throughout the state be it pipe borne water, health facilities or schools.

Almost all the major communities in Lagos have terrible access roads and you just have to ask yourself where all the monies go to. As for internal roads, those have long been abandoned to CDAs because local governments here are completely moribund.

Lagosians pay exorbitant transport fares on bad roads and the government turns a blind eye to the massive 'ticket' collection by touts on transporters daily which is passed on to Lagosians in higher bus fares.

Honestly the Lagos state government can and should do better for its citizens

Although 99% of the ppl livin in dis areas are Lagosians and only do business or work and pay der taxes to Lagos.. So Ogun gov see no reason why dey shld hlp dem fix der roads.
Lagos state hv tried to claim most of the places but Ogun has refused.

For a state that generates huge IGR be looking like a dirty smelly slum.

No wonder Lagos was rated the 4th worst city to live on earth by the European council.

Where is the revenue going to?

this is the typical state of gutters along ago palace way. this is almost at the beginning of the road
this is the state when it has NOT rained

how will the gutters not flood?

are the gutters blocking themselves?

you also seem to be confusing ago palace way with the road to link road to cele

What's the name of the road please? Is that road in Benin Republic?

What is the LASG doing about blocked gutters? I thought at a time they had a commissioner (Joe Igbokwe) in charge of drainages? Has that been rescinded now?

what can lasg do about blocked gutters when we have irresponsible people who constantly throw rubbish out of car windows? who have no sense of decorum or knowledge of what a dustbin is? people who are literally on the same level as animals in their behavior?

did the gutters block themselves?

or do those food packs look like sand to you?

I asked you a simple question .... What is the name of the road please? Instead of educating us as the so called knowledgeable person you claim to be you instead demonstrated your stupidity by calling up Google maps to indicate where you feel Ago Palace way is.

As to the whether the affected road which you are still yet to name is outside Lagos state, you conveniently chose not to respond. That's how shameless sadists like you who feel smart continue to expose your foolishness because of the 12 pieces of silver you have collected to sell out your birthright as a Lagos citizen who should be holding its government accountable for provision of social amenities which you are entitled to because you pay taxes... But then again maybe you don't who knows?


Finally, as to what government can do with respect to blocked drainages Mr Smarty Pants, there is a whole lot that can be done. For one, apart from the fact that it detracts from the megacity status Lagos aspires to, it also constitutes a huge environmental hazard to the inhabitants as well as of course causing flooding. So any serious government should take blocked drainages serious.

Lagos state is supposed to have an environmental commission responsible for waste management innit? LAWMA and LASEPA to be precise both under the Lagos state ministry of environment. I asked you about Joe Igbokwe which of course you dodged because of your malicious intent. People are employed to sweep roads daily. How many roads do they actually sweep? Most of them even sweep their refuse into these gutters! Why can't these people be held accountable for ensuring the cleanliness of the drainages in the sectors they are contracted to cover?

I'm sure that you are aware of KAI in Lagos. Google them if you are not aware. How many of these so called officials enforce environmental sanitation both in commercial and residential areas of the state?

How many sensitisation campaigns has the government engaged on to enlighten people on the hazards of blocked drainages and what enforcement has been installed to serve as a deterrent?

These are just a tip of the iceberg of the active role government can and should be playing in environmental protection Mr Smarty Pants no Sense.

P.s. This should not detract from the horrific state of roads in Lagos and the content question as to what the government is using all its IGR for if it cannot provide basic amenities for its citizens.


Again.... What kind of moniker is GloriousGbola? How can you convince anybody that you have a modicum of common sense?

2.
the road is okota road. it is right there on the map.

you are a real tool. i actually expected as much though - a meaningless wall of text and 20 words where one would suffice.

people like you are only capable of empty criticism. i am sure in real life you are casually peeing in gutters and throwing junk out of windows . it is after all the responsibility of the government to pick up after you.

you dont know the difference between ago palace way and okota road - you don't know the gutters are constantly blocked with garbage. but you do know how to run to the internet to whine at high volume

it is true, empty ignoramus barrels make the most noise.

now run off to twitter to find an echo chamber of like minded noisemakers

GloriousGbola answer the questions raised..... Stop living up to your inglorious moniker. It's typically stupid of you to get sidetracked about minor issues like names of road when we are focused on the major issues of bad roads and environmental issues plaguing the state.

Is the affected road bad or not? What is government doing about it?

What is the Lagos state ministry of environment doing to address the issue of flooding and blocked drainages in the state?
