Government will build infrastructure and they would still be cleaning and washing infrastructure for you


Oh well I don't blame them, the god they think they believe in, give them earth with beautiful things in it, and they expect the god to come and be cleaning it for them with its cleaning agents oh lol

tsdarkside:
and the contractors work for free abi....??
how much tax do you even pay sef that you await fg to pamper you too....??

Your brain is sooo empty and dull tbh.
So private contractors can't maintain the place and themselves with proceeds from there whilst remitting to govt their cut?

Not just cursed but lost

Let's not pretend or be delusional on this GADEMN FORUM.

This terminal was built in the centre of OSHODI.

Has any of you here been to OSHODI?

Especially before they built that terminal?

Look, I GREW UP PASSING THROUGH OSHODI DAILY ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL.

Oshodi was a hellhole of fast commerce, market women selling everywhere.

Oshodi is the first place I've seen where market woman would place their stalls in the middle of the road, with cars passing. When the Molue reaches the point they are, the driver would jump out screaming at the woman to remove their stalls from the road.

You would think the women would be remorseful and be saying sorry for blocking the road. For where? They will be abusing the driver back as he's driving off. Raining curses on him! That's Oshodi for you!

Plus chronic overcrowding, rushing for Molue, desperation, illiteracy, semi-literacy, touts, thugs, Alayes, pickpockets, drug dealers, poverty, and open defecation.

Oshodi was where ARMED ROBBERS you used to go and hide after committing atrocities in more civiized parts of Lagos.

A sprinkling of BROTHELS in the area gladly served as hideouts.

I personally frequented some of those brothels in my secondary school days in the 80s.

I often used my pocket money to go and nyash ashewo.

Short time, 10 Naira.

Oshodi was the quintessential Lagos hellhole.

All those people were not moved out of OSHODI after they commissioned the terminal.

They are still there.

So how the hell do you expect the terminal to look?

The minute I heard they were building that terminal at OSHODI, I knew it would get to this.

I'm even surprised they haven't smashed in all those ajebota glass walls and trimmings in the terminal.

The place even still looks clean somehow, considering the fact that it is in Oshodi.

Truth is it would be a hell of a task keeping that terminal looking like somewhere in Paris or Brussels or London, with the kind of characters that populate OSHODI.

If that facility was located somewhere in Ikeja or Surulere or the Island or Lekki, the place will be looking very clean and sharp even with minimal maintenance.

Simply because of the calibre of people in those areas.

The long-term solution for this sort of thing is just to improve the living standards of the masses, plus education.

So why would a delusional government having to know about the history about Oshodi, start an infrastructure worth about $70M and expect it to favour the most ignorant people on earth. Brother it's not about being delusional or not. Nigerians don't know what it means t be clean Na why them dey Japa to see how clean the white man's world is.. white man no dey do too much,it just teaches its citizens how to love nature and keep it beautiful everytime.

Nigeria Sabi nature, who get time for god, get time for nature??

Na lie

You can't serve two masters same time..

tsdarkside:
how much tax do you even pay....??
or you think fg plugg money from trees....

Certainly a lot matter. At least, more than the average 'Lagosian'. PAYE tax, Land Use Charge, name it. Unlike your ilks, we understand money don't come from trees and we fully understand the importance of development funds.

Since you managed to miss it, I'll remind you: What concerns 'fg' with maintaining Oshodi terminal?

Solsix:
No be Nigeria again?? Again maintenance culture raise it's ugly head.

We lack maintenance culture.

Improve living standards you say!!! Where will they see the army of thugs they would use for voter intimidation and election violence?

1. The project is too modern for that location.

2. The property is under utilised. Virtually all the upper floors are unoccupied.

3. It is not generating up to 20% of the cost required to maintain it. Current Lagos State government has shown no interest in the place probably because it was a symbolic Ambode project. So, absolutely no funding (subsidy) from the government, which I supported. However, with the way things are now, LASG may need to subsidise the place.

3. The original plan was compromised by the need to pull those NURTW buses from the various parks around Oshodi into a single modern terminal.

4. Intra state buses and the sort of crowd they pull ie their drivers, bus boys, small retailers, and the other hangers on, have very little respect for cleanliness and orderliness.

5. Once NURTW moved in, the management of the terminal is at the mercy of NURTW. Any management rule/policy that NURTW oppose is dropped because they have the ears of the Lagos State Government. NURTW effectively dictates what happens, so any attempt by management to evict loiters or maintain any form of order is resisted.

By the way, the place is managed by a private company on behalf of the Lagos State government.

Mr man you just wrote trash.

That rubbish wouldn't happen with Ambode or someone like Ambode in charge, or who believed that agbero can run away and start hiding in Lagos but Ambode did it when on seat, but now agberos even stop vehicles in the middle of the express to extort them.

The problem of Lagos is more than 90percent leadership.

It took Ambode less than 4 years to build all the notable infrastructures being destroyed in Lagos with little or no borrowing, but the present government can't boast of anything it has done for more than 4 years now.

THE MASSES ARE ALWAYS THE REFLECTION OF THE LEADERS but in the case of nigeria RULERS.

tsdarkside:
chaii....you igbos sef....
why dont you stay in your region if its soo much better....??

cos we need to make money from your region and send it back to our region .....just like Chinese is making money and sending it back to china

Highly under-utilized and messed up. The whole environment is filthy...

stop calling Nigerians....call Yoruba


Calabar is neat

Reflect7:
This should be publicised to pressure the state govt to get a proper contractor to maintain that facility.


THIS IS NOT HARD.

Nigerian government is never under pressure. The only time the feel pressure is during the election period and that's about 4 years time.

The maintenance in that terminal is extremely poor if there is any at all.
The governor should step up his game in good maintenance of infrastructure in Lagos state at large.

lexy2014:
is it Sanwo olu that built it?

Ambode built it. But sanwo olu handed it over to thugs and criminals.

SmartPolician:
This is FALSE. Touts don't run those terminals.

Nigeria has a problem with maintenance.

The problem is only at play there.

Can you please tell me any state owned transport organization in Nigeria that is not ran by touts? It's just that some touts are more useless and condemned than others.

tsdarkside:
fvck off....take your south eastern states and go already....

Which of the questions?

What are my south eastern states?

babajero:
Ambode built it. But sanwo olu handed it over to thugs and criminals.

That's serious. Who are thugs he handed over the facility to?

That's why they need to do something about the population of Lagos.


People who are running from poverty in their region running to Lagos without any particular plan of what they want to go and do on Lagos have turned those places to shelter.

tsdarkside:
and the contractors work for free abi....??
how much tax do you even pay sef that you await fg to pamper you too....??

Everything is task for you people.....
If govt set up essential utilities people will pay and use it
Not this task system we run here, where govt wants to task you for having bore hole in your house , whereas govt is supposed to provide water for you and then task you

Wow

Nigerians are too dirty
How can you spend so much money in building such a place and then abandon it in disarray.who are the people managing it?

See what they are using our money for with China engagements. Making us suffer for white elephant projects.

Anything maintenance in this country is zero, forget it.

Poor maintenance culture, dirtiness, stealing, dishonesty, disorganization e.t.c Blacks are just blacks something’s can’t change

Stop stereotyping Nigerians.

Are you not a Nigerian?

Are you dirty?

Do you defecate in public or don’t flush a toilet after use?

No?

Well neither do millions of other Nigerians,

No be only you sabi something.

Shut your stupid lips there. How many black countries out of over 60 on Earth have you visited, to know what they are like?

You think you can pass judgment on places you don’t even know exist, simply because blacks live there?

Ignorant, brainwashed, self hating dunce.
